If we had some closer pictures of what those charge pipes are going to, we could have a better idea of what exactly is going on...

If those charge pipes and ugly airbox are specifically for show only, then that's a terrible job.

Looks like a centrifugal supercharger. Lots of guys use them on E46 M3s. 700 seems high but not impossible.

Does look to be supercharged, but I highly doubt 700 hp. Superchargers are usually good for 100-150hp.

i'll ask him for closer pictures. i was skeptical because usually people that do that much work to their c55 end up on here. except the industrialist in mexico if anyone has heard about what he's got.

Not even sure the stock trans can handle that as well?? Look at the 65 Series from AMG, they were all dialed back because of trans issues.

From the look of it, I am thinking engine conversion???

+1 on that! yea i never got that for asking him if it was to the crank or to the wheels. if you guys go through the pics and see the kleemann black 55 with neons, he is on here and he says he has six hundred something hp to the crank.

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.

i'm not surprised that he would do something like that, how childish.

haters crazy
Doesn't matter. Even if he has dyno graphs. I would just like to know details on the car. I love it when people push the envelope and do different things. I know dynos don't matter because I have dyno sheets that are absurdly high. A modded SL63 made under 400whp on this dyno right before I got on (from what I remember alot under 400whp). Mine made 683whp So what I'm saying is dynos don't really matter. And yes with enough money you can pretty much do anything

it's a fake c55. look at the headlights, they aren't xenon and the fenders aren't wide.
