50k in mods on a C32
Has anyone seen this? (Prolly) I was just surfing and ran across it. I particularly like the flared fenders,... they don't look flared being the attraction. The guy says the performance mods are putting more than 465 horses on the ground (nice). The rest of the stuff reminds me of an Aunt who showcases her thousands upon thousands of little ceramic animals and figures all over her house,... tacky!

i dont think he has done many engine mods, he's got NOS in the car that give it an extra 100Hp. but personally would not put NOS in my car. its an easy way to reduce the life of ur engine.
But his wheels look nice i wonder what kind of whees they are?

One thing I noticed,... his S/C unit has a plaque for the builder's signature. Mine doesn't. I wonder if my engine was produced BEFORE AMG started handbuilding the engines?

Huh? That makes absolutely no sense. Your engine should ABSOLUTELY have the signed plaque if in fact it is an AMG. They've always done this.

Oh yeah,... now I see the bottle. Man,... I thought he was getting that power from real engine mods like performance cam, headers, increased S/C pressure,... etc. I agree, horses in a bottle is a little detrimental when it comes to the health of your engine. I second the nice wheels also.

Regarding the OP... not my cup of tea, but again, to each its own.

C32 AMG - in Pewter
Someone mentioned this on the forum before, so there has been a batch with no plaques it seems.

I have an early 02 with no plaque.
I never understand what people have against nitrous. When used properly, its very safe, stable, and fun
I wouldnt mind a small 50 shot on my C32. Now that I finally got my stage 1, maybe its time for a little more extra ooopmh

Nah, I'm not plaque challenged or anything. I just wanted to know if it meant my engine wasn't hand built as advertised! That's all! It is empressive however when you pop da hood,... but not essential! LOL!

I think the car is pretty sick. On page 2 he says hes got Evo Stage II with a N2O sprayed intercooler, headers with race cats and all, custom Evo ECU, plus he has a NOS setup (he says he has a Venom bottle but the bottle looks like NOS to me...not that it makes a difference). I can definitely see him having 465hp to the wheels with maybe a 75/100 shot.
Yeah, you guys are all too p*ssy, NOS ain't such a big deal. Its the cheapest way to get 50-150hp. Instant results, extremely low parts and labor, and it fufills all of your Fast & Furious dreams. Just make sure you get it done right, don't spray too long or use a higher shot than the car can handle.

That's no E man. Look at the headlights,... it's a one-piece (no metal separating the main and sub lighting cups! Besides,... he says it's a C32. Nothing else had the 3.2 kompressor other than the C platform roadster (I believe), and it sure ain't that!

My '02 didn't come with the plaque either, but you can actually order them from oempartsdirect with your VIN and they'll order it from Germany and have the proper signature for you engine.
I haven't order it since I couldn't figure out what the "optional with" thingy is, they're both around $30ish from oempartsdirect. Also, on the engine that came with the plaque, the charger actually has a platform for the plaque and mine don't...
