C32 AMG, C55 AMG (W203) 2001 - 2007

So i guess the c32 is potentially the worst AMG built so far.

Good find Saer1One : and he can put $5-7K in a C55 engine swap for the baddest C43 this side of Affalterbach. Another $20 K will get him the Kleemann SC and Long tubes. Over $30 K in a 12 year old C43. I'd say thats a bargain.

AH was talking trash about the C32 versus the 43 and was slamming the C32 versus the C55, none of which he has driven or owned. He's driving a three generations old M3 (which is fine) BUT don't talk SH** about things you know nothing about. I have 2 horses in this race, so yes, he should go to the 43 forums and entertain you guys over there. Oh, and now he's slamming the C63 too?? Does it ever end??

Come on AH, bring on that C43 with the 55 engine. We're all waiting. As Lightning McQueen says, "Wanna Race??"
i DO have a c43 actually. but i know my car's old and cheap, and yeah i did buy it cuz it was reasonable for my price range, and it does provide lots of bang for its buck. but damn, leave it to frankie here to rub salt on wounds.

and AH makes me wanna sell my 43 and bunker down with a plain old civic or something.

so uh, AH, give it a rest.

tell you the truth you are probably the only person i know from mymb that didn't get the C43/36 because it's an "AMG" but because it's a good performance car for your price range.

unfortunately the transmission is the flaw of the 202 AMG. as soon as ppl realize that nothing is bullet proof they'll start getting off their high horse.

PJ seems like a cool dude but once you start saying negative stuff about the C36/C43 he starts getting defensive and starts becoming different...sometimes even saying the most ignorant comments. I mentioned that a C36 told me he will kill my car and that he is an idiot for thinking that and PJ got offended, came into the thread and started arguing with me. The reason I said that is I raced Pinoc and we were dead even but then stuff like "Pinoc has straight pipe" and "his transmission was failing" started to come out NOT BY PINOC BUT BY PJ. Pinoc even said that that wasn't an issue and that I really did keep up with him.

Pinoc is a great guy and I respect him for telling it the way it is...no excuses.

I don't think we should get into a AMG defaming contest or a Mercedes one at that.

Enjoy your cars and stop feeding the trolls Some people can only afford certain AMGs or Mercs and why make them feel bad??

Hey Guys,

Love the fight...

I just wanted to add there were 2001 C55's produced but only for euro market. It was the W202 with the W210 E55 Engine.
