W203 C55 and SAAB 9-3 2.0T
^ Might be so but the w203 C55 with CLK front end- Timeless/Priceless. I just wish they would have done more with the exterior to set it apart from its lesser models. Much like what the w204 did with the C63....

IMO the new ones are too flashy. I'm more interested in engineering, then nasty plastic and chrome. Even my 203 is questionable, at best.

You and I should dance, heh. But we're in the same family, so it'd be just for amusement. :p

Back in the day when I first joined this board. It was common knowledge among us tproduced this vehicle in limited numbers. If you guys don't know a E32 (W210) was also produced for countries that placed a large tax on high displacement vehicles.

I thought it was an E36, not E32.

The 202 C55 was a cool car. I remember back in 2004, everyone was all up in arms about an Orange one that surfaced the internet. Can't remember if it was in the US, or Japan. But the w214 and 210 E60's were way cooler. And there are a few of those in the US, along with a few R129 SL60's. Edit: Actually I think there was also an SL70 and SL73 with V-12s too. The SL73 engine went on with life in the Pagani Zonda.

Are you sure?? I think there may be an issue withe TCU as well. Many conversions have "stalled" because of the TCU?? Just ask the guys who put the E55 engine in their SRTs.....................

However I have heard that the swap in a SRT can be problematic which I believe is what u r saying.
Sorry if I misunderstood you initially.

But I am sure I can take a W202 C55 or Austins C43.............and if I can't, out comes the C55 Kleemann (but I don't internet race, so this spring, with the recent mods and new Jerry Tune, we'll see what we can do at Morrocco)

If you insist the fastest one I know of is SpeedyBenz at Sacramento Raceway 13.2 sec at 109.5mph with a 60ft time of 2.4 sec high altitude horrible 60ft. I would still race ANY stck or stg 1 or 2 modded C32 in the mile. Makes no difference to me. And if I lost I still have something that NO C32 stck or modded will ever beat. And you could bring the C55 Kleeman at that!
PS I've done 13.2@ 107mph 98degrees 100% humidity MIR

But you would have better traction than me for sure.
BTW my Mom still drives her 1990 AWD Black Cherry Talon to Home Depot regularly for her gardening. 45000 kms and counting

C43 WILL NEVER beat a high 12 C32 AMG. Thats just crazy talk. It would be such a fun highway race though. As soon as my 5.4 goes in, ill come down and do some runs with you. Just for sport. 13.2 isn't bad at all for a w202 C55. I bet we could reduce some weight and get it down in the high 12's with the right track and tires. I have a video some where on a guy running a high 12 with one. Let me see if I can find it.

That was my car years ago with a totally different exh which was leaking everywhere and the engine check(MAF,O2,Vacuum Actuator for gas tank) light stayed on as well. Car has been improved and runs much harder now.

Wouldn't be surprised if there were a few non-forumers who owned one, letting it garage queen in an unused garage right about now...

Thought I heard 13.1 at 101?? Regardless, I haven't seen a 12 sec run in a conversion.
Comments says: The car has a 5.5 liter swap n/a, full 3in exhaust, moddified LSD. Running on Nitto NT555R dot slick
