Nice Dyno and A:F graph - pretty flat. Absolute power....
Keep in mind, my stock C55 dyno'd 298 hp and 294 lb.-ft on the dynojet. Personally, I just wanna break 300 rwhp...

How about this, I'll build my supra into a 1000rwhp beast and let's line up for some $$$?

First of all my C55 is THE ****! and against you're claimed "500 hp" supra IT IS THE **** AND WOULD WALK ON YOUR *** ALL DAY LONG!
now that we have that cleared up...
If you want to roll out with 800rwhp or 1000 why don't we roll it against my company's hooked up SL65?????
Cause that would be fun! and a bit more fair don't you think?
Let's compare apples to apples here...
So you go ahead and build whatever you want but keep in mind that this is an MB Board and that we don't like to have 1000 hp cars pick on our C32/C55.
and we are not ****y - just serious!
For the record I think the supra is awesome! and with 500 hp it must be a blast to drive...
Let us know when you get your C32/C55 - you could also wait for the C63...

Anyone in South Florida want to get together and run cars?
An ECU and pulley will get the C32 to run 12.8's at 108.
My C32 has the worst traction control. It almost killed me dozens of times. I had to turn it off every time I was in the car. It would just CUT power completely and leave me in the middle of the street or intersection at the mercy of the driver barreling down on me.
Sucked big time.

... but I'll do non-R compound tire vs non-R compound tire or Drag radial vs Drag radial if ya like... take your pick so long as its from a dig!! :v Oh and dont worry, I know exactly what a 500rwhp supra is capable of, I think it would be a fun freindly race!! Come on lets keep this friendly on a friendly... no need to calll ppl c0cky here, everybody was just shootin the *****. As far as a building a fast car, I beleive the 2JZGTE is teh best damn motor out there, I give props for that. But to me a supra is a racey sports car and a MB is a daily drivable luxurious quick car. Supras are bad *** cars though, my buddy Marko D has a pretty quick supra!!! :v
A race b/w your supra and BennyZ's C55 from a roll would be a good one... but if u want me, its all about the dig baby!!

Let me stay out of this one. when i had -3.0 camber in the rear i still managed to pull of 1.9 60ft times consistantly at the track... but thanx to Speedybnz, my camber is now -1.1 :v !!! I should be able to go deeper into the throttle on teh launch w/o any problem hooking up!!
Also, with MT, hell even Nitto drag radials, if benny were to warm them up, he could powerbrake and go WOT launch, it will immediately hook w/o any tire spin, and send BennyZ's Ubercharged C55 out 60ft in 1.6 to 1.7 seconds. And this is with an open diff!! :v I mean, im on a non R compound street tire and how do you explain teh fact that I holeshot EVOs and STis all day long!!! If you ask around town, word on the street in S. FL is that Im one of the kings of holeshot...the only RWD open diff in that classification!!!

Benzo,
You are absolutley right! All I need is a set of good slicks.
My car is going in to the shop on Monday.
Time to put the new S/C (with a revised intake manifold) up the NOS to a 125 shot, and put on the rear brembos. Yes, Yes, Yes.
(I'm also getting a couple of cool gauges - one for the boost and another for the NOS - I will post pictures)
When it is all completed (I assume 4 days) I will need to break the car in for a few days...
And then it will be time to visit the track! I can't wait. I will post up all specs from dyno and track times.
Benzo,
Maybe I will take a drive to Miami - visit Renntech - I'll keep you posted!

um.....I have no say on that, I never driven a C32, guess the weakness is more or less the same as a C55 except the engine. One thing for sure , AMGs are freaking expensive in my country, a 2002 C32 still asks for 70K :p

I did notice something "weak" about my car which I also posted on the AMG Forums site
C32 tends to upshift quicker than necessary resulting in too high of a gear for a certain speed.
I noticed that if I leave it in D and take a turn, the car is VERY sluggish upon exiting the turn. Unless I press it harder to downshift, but then its too much power.

Biggest flaw with C32 is because its a pre-facelift W203 C-Class, the build and interior quality is not that good, bad actually for a car of its price, hows about a C55?

I'm doing some research and the C32 seems very attractive to me. But like every car, they have their own weakness. What are they?

You have a heluva a car, It may be best car to mod out there, but you ain't gonna get what a Benz gives you. Same thing applies vice versa.
Respect and you will be respected.
Just my two cents!
