2005 C55 AMG
Unless he had the entire front end rebuilt with standard 203 parts, that isn't a C55. And there would be no reason to rebuild the front with standard 203 parts because if he DID need more room for bigger engine, etc etc the C55 front end would offer that, since its from the 209. So I say fake.

This is ridiculous, there are so many cars in the album that aren't c55s. A few regular w203s, maybe a w209 in one of the pictures and a w211, and a r171. I don't even think the K'ed out c55 is even supercharged
I have no doubt that it is possible that the supercharged c55 can push 700. Look at all that work that is done, custom supercharged setup, customer intake manifold, looks like there a heat exchanger in there too. With all that work that is only visible in those two pictures, I would think there should be other custom work in other places for more power
^ it even has the c55 circle foglights

It's centrifugal blown. And that "ugly airbox" is in fact a custom sheet metal intake manifold which happens to look like it was fabricated quite well. It also appears to have an liquid to air intercooler fabricated into the intake as well. Those blowers, depending on pulley size, can push some serious (PSI 35+) so it is most definitely possible to be making those numbers to the wheels.

LOL I just went to the site and apparently you stole one of my pics and claimed it as your own car.
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...o.115119508484
That is unless you snuck into my work and took the exact same pic
As for the monster looking C55. Who knows how much power it makes but Id like to know more about that setup.
