Believe or not, my car's milege at almost 10k km ; As first time, I finally managed to floor it in S mode. My speed was ~110km and after floored, it took ~one second to reach red line and the gear automatically shifted to 4th , and speed at that time was ~176km/h. (I could stay on the pedal and shoot thru 200km/h but I did not, as the traffic started to show up )

I am no technical, but I am surprise that at 6400rpm 176km/h , the engine howling sound was loud but no any other unknown noise except the crystal clear sound of the AMG engine. Not any shaking or feeling of risks, and I could only feel that the tiger was ready to tear his food apart soon :v

I finally understand...why you guys want a AMG engine. Yes, it is a perfect engine. I am gonna try more flooring from now - don's give a damn about fuel cost any more. I could be real screwed askhole if I drive the C55 at 3000rpm all the time

the redline is 6700 RPM.

No. I never floored it and you are right, we have paid to hear the beautiful sound of the AMG engine at 6700rpm :p
We don't have many roads I can floor the car from 110km/h to 180km/h , which I believe the acceleration power in this range is the beauty of the C55 engine.
I was delighted to hear the sound at that rpm and the build of the car must be superb as I did not feel any unwanted shaking at all.
I will floor it every day from now :v

How can anyone own one of these cars and not floor it at every light? When I got my car back from getting the transmission replaced, the service advisor told me that I could feel free to "drive it like it was meant to be driven" so I left the service drive going sideways... with an elderly couple looking on in absolute horror.

can c55 rev up to 6700 rpms?

vraa

I think it can. I know my X5 can hit about the same redline.

BlackC230Coupe

in neutral? no. Not without something like the Renntech ECU. But it always hits it when u floor it!

cntlaw

I agreed. But we all know flooring the C55 in S mode means it shoots to 6700rpm at third gear and that torque and force definitely make the elderly heartattack! :p
