Seems like it makes too much sense to include it as an option, if not standard, especially on the AMG lines

i agree. mercedes and amg havent always done the smartest things unfortunately. it was never an option on the C55 or the C32. we usually have to go with a quaife or a phantom grip

diffs now come with the P30 Package and as a standalone option for 12bills

Try a resonator delete for $40 at your local muffler shop and shop around for some headers.
Did you consult the grandfather C55asleep? Send him a PM

or talk to Hooley hes got some good ideas too

Thanks moosejaw, I will do more investigating once she decides she wants a little change here or there. I was just curious as to what the basics were. That RX-7 is sick by the way

Hey another Subaru owner, Legacy GT spec B stage 2. Cobb AP is definately the way to go for ECU tuning. Have Eibach springs and a rear swaybar on the handling side. Dont really need to do much more than that on any Subaru unless you are trying to make a pure track car.

Cant decide which car is more fun.

Fast is subjective. Subaru has that AWD grip you can throw it into the twisties at insane speeds and come out like a rally driver. Rain and snow included. Just gotta deal with the understeer using a little finnish flick. 1/4 mile track, top end speed, etc C32 is faster.

I have autocrossed them both recently and both cars do pretty well for their class. Not the fastest but certainly not the slowest. Both are on all season tires though, and that seems to be the limit of how competetive I am.
