if you read the other posts the same has already been said and the same has already been answered... getting a C55 could probably be a cheaper alternative depending on your intentions with the car... its like what the owner of iforged did with his 996TT .... everyone said that getting a 997 would have been cheaper ... well, with what he was after..it actually made more sense to do what he did..

after doing all the modifications to my car prior to the engine swap, it did not make sense to me to get a c55. I did not want to go through the trouble of swapping everything out of the c320 into a c55.

that green TT was insane but then again if you have a **** loud of money you can do anything....it's alot of work, time , and money.....i went through it with my benz when i had it and if i hadn;t sold it i had a engine transplant waiting to happen.....

It should make the same power as a stock E55 shouldnt it? I'm anxious to see 1/4 mile numbers, this thing should fly! Great job of envisioning a project and seeing it through to completion!

not stock.
I can only imagine this thing with a fully modded engine... pulleys, intakes, IC pump, Heat exchanger, TUNE ... LSD, Id do a slight widebody / fender pull in the rear to fit 285 rubber... i think its justifiable hahaha

isn't the w203 body lighter then the w211? if that's true then it should be slightly faster stock on stock

You must have misinterpreted my post. You are correct. It will make the same power but it will be faster in the 1/4 because of weight.
