05 Kleeman Mercedes, Depends optional

This car requires adult diapers for the driver and oxygen for the passengers.

Take a stock AMG C model, then ramp it up another couple of notches and you get the idea. http://www.kleemann.dk/site/Main/thecars/cclassw203

Showroom condition, 23K miles with balance of factory warranty 4 year 50K miles, this is a fully optioned Kleeman. It has literally EVERY factory option you can buy on a Mercedes, and the Kleeman supercharged V8 is rated at 570 hp. 0-60 in 3.7 seconds with a top speed of 200 mph, 1/4 mile low 13's at 120 mph on STREET tires. 19 inch wheels, 16 inch drilled rotors, it stops as fast as it goes. Literally one of the quickest and fastest cars EVER produced and keeps company with such exotica as a Porsche GT2, ANY Ferrari, and puts American muscle cars to shame.

Totally driveable around town, it is a wolf - make that a werewolf - in sheep's clothing. Extremely quiet at idle, at WOT it will literally rattle fire hydrants.

Keep your foot out of the supercharger and it gets 22 mpg on the highway - AMAZING!

New, $72K, sell for $55K FIRM. E-mail me at KonTourSeat@cs.com

Doesn't a stock C55 run low 13s? I know it wouldn't trap at 120 though.

I peed my pants just reading it.

I remember reading a review in C&D or MT on a car set up like this.
Maybe this was the car?

From the Kleeman site...so I wonder what else was done to get another 30 HP?

"The top of the line C-Class model is the KLEEMANN C 55K S4, which is based on the C 55 AMG. Lurking under the bonnet is the well-known 5.5 litre V8-engine. Add a comprehensive KLEEMANN power treatment that includes a KLEEMANN Kompressor system, reprogramming of the engine's ECU, special made camshafts and stainless steel headers complete with KLEEMANN exhaust system with four steel catalysts. Imagine 540 Hp in a C-Class sedan or wagon..."

I believe the 4 holes in the bumper add 30 HP.
I'm sure the car began it's life in a state that requires front plates which ruins the look of a car, but he should have put a KLEEMANN plate there instead of removing it.

Correct. The stock Kleeman exhaust is rectangular and IMHO better looking, but the after - after - after market flows MUCHO better. Besides that, all the ricers think it's fake! (until they hear the howl)

I figure the new owner can afford to have the bumper plastic welded and re-painted....

Could be - the biggest problem with drag racing this dog is keeping the rear wheels from spinning.

With slicks and several hundred pounds in the trunk it could probably cut 1.5 seconds off the ET and hit maybe 140... (or more)

It's hot. Don't like the wheels too much though... But then again, you can just throw the C55 AMG Wheels back on.
