Sold the Beast!!!
Well all... it's definitely been fun hanging with everyone here. I have sold the car and I'm going to miss frequenting this c32/c55 board.
In case anyone is wondering what I got for the beast... $70,800 (IMO the buyer got one hell of a deal). Unlike all these other s/c'd C55 mine actually runs without a single problem and produces A LOT of power!!!![Wink](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
As far as what I'm getting next.... not really sure. I originally wanted a Porsche Turbo but that CLS 55 is looking so damn sexy. I'm strongly considering going with the CLS55 and sending it over to my friends at Kleemann for the Stage 3 600hp application.
Decisions decisions.... any thoughts?
BTW -- I have a brand new set of mounted Mickey Thompson Drag Radials on 17" AMG wheels for sale. PM me if interested.

I like the CLS quite a bit, probably my favorite MB, BUT...and it's a big 'but'...I find I really like having a more nimble car. Obviously the p-car and the CLS are so completely different that I wonder if you wouldn't be happiest in a car that was the best of all worlds with high-performance, luxury, and agility, like...oh...I dunno...a Kleeman 55K S7 or something like that

dragonAMG: nice that you were able to ge that kind of money, I actually think the person who bought the car got a hell of a deal. Good choice on the CLS55, I think it's a sexy car, but that damn Turbo is so hot also, don't know. Decisions...Decisions...IMO i would get both, lol!

My problem is that I really get bored of cars quickly.
I will refer the buyer to this board, so please welcome him like I know everyone will.

I know a couple of guys that know you and have seen you at the track. They are right! you are an arrogant little ****!
![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Yes, my car had a couple of issues, some becuase of the 100 shot I was runing, some due to programming, but my car is now 100% perfect.

I didn't see you making an efforts to race me either. Outside of your jurisdiction!

I guess it doesn't matter anymore, good luck in the future, if you are serious about a CLS - call Meridian - John the owner has one sick CLS (RENNtech off course, over 600hp)

I'm glad to hear the car is now 100%. That's great news!
I'm serious about the CLS, but there is no way I would put anything other than Kleemann in my car.

And so it goes on and will for ever be Kleemann vs. RENNtech

Josh, its great to hear that you are looking at the CLS55!! If I had the money to buy ANY car south of $125,000 I would buy that car WITHOUT hesitation and then drop it off with a tuner!! That car is SO DAMN COOL, I just cant get enough of the CLS55... Anyways I know you like Klemann, and I am sure you know what brabus did to their CLS55 (called the Rocket), but take a look at Brabus if you havent. I dont know if they even have a shop here in the states, or how reliable they are (or how much the Brabus kit costs). I know the Klemann CSL55 is a rocket also... Man I was a little jealous of your car, but I will hunt you down and steal your CLS55 if you hop it up to 600hp, man I hate you!!! j/k, I wouldnt even look at the porsche...

997TT and CLS55 are exactly my "next cars". Both will give ultimate driving experience. Your friends/family willl enjoy the extra luxury of the CLS e.g. amazing backseats.
You can always get a TT any time, but the CLS is more of a fashion and better to own it now than later.
I will take the CLS.

Wow, I'm surprised you've sold the Kleeman supercharged C55. You put quite a bit of effort and $$ into it. Even though you say you get bored of cars very quickly, I can't help but ask whether there were any NEGATIVE aspects about the C55 which may have contributed to you selling it so soon?

Congrats on the sale! I am also looking at the CLS55 as my next car. Will have to wait a couple of years til the used ones come down to my price range!! Hopefully 2008! Patiently waiting..

Congrats! time to get a real sports car! :p
Btw, if you do decide on the CLS55, definitely without a doubt go with a real tuner like Renntech this time!
