Bay Area silver C32?

I've only ever seen one other silver C32 in the bay area and it was on 880 north a couple weeks ago around 8am. Was it anyone here?

I usually don't take 880, but I drive a silver C32 in the bay area. I usually take 101, and my car is de-badged.

You have to be kidding. I see C32s quite a bit out here in Silicon Valley. Then again, I was at the country club last week and saw a 575 Maranello, mint 1957 SL 300, SL55 AMG, CL600 and 2 RS6s parked right next to each other.

dbtk - Cool, we have the same engine!

sleestack - Maybe there's more in the city, but I've only seen that one around Sunnyvale/Cupertino/Palo Alto/Fremont area. Best line of cars I've seen was a couple years back when I was driving down La Jolla Shores and seeing the annual lambo meet with their buddies (VTs, diablos, 360 spider, 360 modena, 911 GT2.)

I see them at least 3 or 4 times a week out on 280. There are at least 3 SL55s within a 4 block radius of my house. I'm never in the city. I live in Los Altos Hills. Anyway, the more the merrier. My 6.3 liter SCed CLK will be back soon, so keep your eyes out for me on 280.... I'll be the black blur.

Hmm, I've seen other AMGs (E55, SL55, ML55) but not many C32s. That 6.3L is going to kick ***! How much hp/tq at the wheels? I dont even want to know how much.

Actually the C32s I see tend to be more towards San Jose. I'm not sure why. We're looking at about 550 - 600 hp at the rear wheel.
