C230k Bat

Is here any way to make the c230k coupe as fast as the c32 amg? *Without gutting the whole car.

I would love the c32 only problem is I need a manual and MB doesn't have anything fast in a manual ...

thanks guys

Unless anyone knows of a MB that's quick from 01-06 that's available in Manual

There are holy grails out there - a C320 coupe in a manual -but they are few and far between.
Other than defecting to an M, your most realistic option would be a 230 with a pulley, chipping, suspension tweaks, and a lot of lightening, but you still won't be in C32 territory. You'd probably have to go big turbo, larger sc, and/or nitrous to get there.

You will have to put a lot of money in that c230. I would rather get a c32 and convert it to manual, if possible. Either way, it'd be a lot of work.

I don't think that's at all possible, though.

The only realistic way to get a C230 to beat a C32 is to swap in an LS1.
So I guess you'd need a C570 to beat a C32.

D-do I have the s-second best?

If you have a slushbox, no.
I'd put my list at:
C320 Manny
2002 C230 Manny with a Pulley
C32 Slushbox
C320 Slushbox
2002 C230 Manny with a Slushbox
Other Coupes with a Manny
Other Coupes with a Slushbox

I may be a tad anti-slushbox, though.
