How about a C320 Coupe Track model

I have been driving my new C320 Coupe/6 speed for a couple of weeks and love it! One thing I would like is a larger tach, so I got the idea - What if MB (as Nissan did with the 350Z) built a track model of this car.

It would have:

18" wheels
AMG brakes
Stiffer/lower springs
Larger sway bars - Larger then AMG
No sun roof to drop weight plus other weight savings - Aluminum hood..
More aggressive ECU programing
Less restictive exhaust/intake. Get the HP up to 250ish
Limited Slip
6 Speed with a nice real short shifter

Swap speedo and tach locations- large tach, small speedo
More supportive seats - keep leather
Basic radio and AC controls
Aluminum consol inserts - not textured

And like all the old MB race cars it would be Silver with Red interior. The interior would have the black/red as the CLK.

What do you all think. MB used to be known (and still are, but most don't know it) for their race cars - show everyone they still like to race.

MB has always been most well known for building high-technology luxury cars. Don't expect them to build any 350Z track edition competitors any time soon.

why would a track car need AC and a Radio?

That paprika and black coupe is now touring around with the ATP tennis tournament. After the tournament here, it came to my dealer where I work for a few days. The outside is very nice, but I was disappointed with the interior. It is like orange and oyster leather two-tone and the quality wasn't that great and it was pretty dirty too.

But on the outside, the wheels were nice and it had AMG brakes and the paint job was done very nicely. The front splitter and the wing might be a little too much, but overall, not a bad looking car.

Do you know how many people were in and out of that car? I am surprised the leather is still intact.

You forgot:

Carbon Fiber drive shaft
Lighter wheels
ESP Reprogramming
Lighter flywheel
Better clutch
