Spotted C32 Coupe? maybe

I spotted a clean Paprika (Sunstone Orange) color coupe on the 55 South on my way home from work. It was an older gentleman driving it. Car was very clean had a rear spoiler and brabus kit and looked like it had OZ 2pc Novas like the Renntech coupe. He was sporting a C32 and AMG badge on the rear. Normally I would think Posser! but after I read his plates his plates thought different. His plate read "YESS I AM"
Anyone know of a C32 coupe that fits this description in Socal?

doubt anyone with a real C32 sportcoupe would remove the true dual exhaust in the rear.

so true. I would kill for that OG C32 dual exhaust.... I would, I really would.
That neighbor's cat wouldn't have a chance !

Pshek (Peter) is the only C-Coupe running around in the USA with a C32 AMG engine, and thus the only one with the correct badging.

No C32 AMG Sport Coupes were ever imported to the USA.

Let me clarify. Yes there were 2 versions of the C32 AMG exhaust for the Coupe. Single-side / dual tips. And dual-side / single tips.
There's about 15 of each version. I believe the single-side version is for those who converted their car through that AMG program, and the dual-side for those who bought it directly from AMG without the conversion process.

i think the single side dual tip only went on to the C30 CDI AMG. All the C32 sportcoupe pic I've seen are with dual side single tip.

Well, the C30 CDI AMG has the single side dual tips. and so does the C32 amg coupe.

Seeing pics of a dual side single tip C32 amg coupe is so freakin rare!

the C30 CDI AMG Coupe has single-side dual AMG tips, but they point downward.

The C32 AMG Coupes that were converted from C180-C320's were given the straight single-side dual AMG tips. I've only seen about 2 of these ever !
Supposedly 14 or 15 were conversions.
AMG then did 15 dual-side single tip versions on their factory C32 Coupes.
Of these, I've actually seen photos of quite a few.
So if anything, it's the single-side dual tip versions that are super rare.

2003 C-Class Sportcoupe
I crossed paths with a different "C32 AMG" coupe today while driving on the 55 fwy near the 405 interchange. It was black and completely stock on the exterior. I was driving in the slow right-most lane (going 65), and I spotted it 60ft behind me in the left most lane (not the carpool lane). I didn't really pay any attention to it, but the next thing I notice it's right beside me to the left. I don't pay attention to it, but when it passed me I had to do a double take. "C32 AMG." Thats when it caught my attention. I try to go to the left of the car to get a good look at the driver, but they wouldn't oblige after looking at my car for nearly a half mile. They cut across a few lanes ahead of me. Finally, I just decided to catch up to it and get a good look at the driver. I passed it and glanced over to see that it was a girl. I had to do another double take since she wasn't bad looking either. BTW, I was not mad. No road rage, etc. Just wanted to look at her, but she was too afraid to even look me in the face. Oh well. I took off since I didn't want to make it seem like I was heckling her.

well, the lorinser ones are circular tips, which IMO, doesnt really look that good as a dual side exhaust. the dual amg exhaust is oval tips, which is sexy.

My exhaust guy was persuading me to make my remus into a "dual exhaust"

I said are you nuts. lol
