If you had $100,000 to hook up a stock C32, what would YOU do?
Hey everyone,
Let's say you were given a stock '03 or '04 C32, brand now right "out of the box" and stock, with all the factory options.
You have $100,000 cash to hook this bad boy up in ANY WAY (any kind of modification you could dream of, or addition, such as radar detectors, audio, whatever)...
I'm capping this at $100,000 so people don't get too rediculous.
What would you do to make your dream C32?
This'll be fun
Mike
P.S. To make this more interesting, let's say you recommend some nice rims...post a picture of 'em so we can all salivate with ya...

C32
100,000 is quite rediculous acutally... who would spent 100,000 on a 60000 car?
but if i were you.... i'd drop the new 5.5L engine and twin turbo it! and other suspension mods like H&R coilovers and Evosport sways. 15" brembo kit front 12.6 brembo kit back. a custom trunk thats around 15000-20000. some nice 20" HRE 8 series with widebody conversion!! that about covers it huh?

when money isn't a issue, I'd sell the c32 and get a 211 E55. 
IMO there's nothing better than running around with 470 stock hp and 500lb-ft of stock TQ, and you can still have the warranty on everything.
back to the topic. I would just get some AMG style IV in 18" and order me some coilover. Stock power is good enough for me.

The True OG Modded out W203
Hmmm...To just be RADICALLY different and unique I would prolly use ALL that money. First of all the kit would be changed. Maybe Loriner DTM kit or Brabus kit or something CUSTOM Wheels would have to be HRE 8 series on Yokohama AVS sport. A nice Dual exhaust if I went w/Lorinser or the Brabus exhaust if I went Brabus. Lorinser roof and deck lid spoilers. Expression grill 14 inch Brembos in the front and 12's in the back(ala Silva). CUSTOM box w/trunk monitor and headrest screens, visor screens and rear view mirror screens. 3-4 video feeds w/cameras. Suede in places needed. Brabus steering wheel. Do the Stage 2/3 evosport engine upgrade or just a new turbo/supercharger. Oh and a BAD *** HUGE front mount intercooler. I think that is all that I can think of the top of my head...

How long before you get jacked though ?
Anyway to make the car bounce up and down, that's what I would do !!!
Then your ride might be in the next fast and all pissed-off movie, lol.

Good point about the theft, so instead i would put about 80 g's in the back seats and then spend about 20 grand on one of those alarm systems that shoots fire from below the car (i saw an article on it once, i think they make them in India).

You would need to come up with some more $$ for that. I saw one in orange on the road 2 weeks ago. I was surprised how small it was.

that's an easy one....
First thing i'd do is sell the car Then I would sell mine too
and after that i'd rush to the Pasadena Rusnak AUDI Dealer and ****** up the one and only Audi RS6 they have, and probably will EVER have. 4.2L V8 Twin Turbo Quattro and all the carbon fiber stuff you can handle
So that's about 100ks right there and with the rest of the money i'd probably do some mods... MTM ECU... MTM headers & exhaust... Coilovers and a set of 19 inch BBS LMs.

if you had that much money to blow. you wouldnt get a c-class in the first place. spending more than 30k on the car would be stupid cuz then you could afford a e55. i think superchargers are cool, but its a waste of money, cuz for the amount you are gonna spend on it, you might as well buy a better car.
