Import tax is crazy in Asian countries.

Thanks for the info.

I think that with the lower compression internals from the C32 you can make a C320 into a monster with the help of Kleemann. Running 9.0:1 compression you could run a whole lot more boost than the stock Kleemann supercharger does (7.5 as opposed to 15 psi for the AMG...). The Kleemann supercharger is an incredibly efficient one, and their intercooling is an absolute work of art...
A Kleemann supercharger running the boost of the AMG supercharger (which it will do safely at 9.0:1) on a C320 would blow the doors of a stock C32...
Whether or not the clutch of the MT6 would be able to handle the extra power or not... thats a different story.

I have no doubts that the kleeman supercharged c320 would be a monster with the same boost settings as the amg but what did amg do to make the car more than a second faster to 60? I don't think an hp differnce of 19 would account for this.

I wonder if I can get a C32 from Canada. I think the more euro spec car will be much better.

A C320(automatic) Kleemann with upgraded pulleys is as fast as a stock C32 to a certain degree. The C320 will have a little advantage off line due to its gearing.
A car club in Taiwan(GPRS) has a few members with C32 and C320K and they do prove things the "scientific" way!
