Hello AMG friends. This past late October a texter wrecked my 06 525+ whp bolt CL55 AMG. This monster had 700+ torque at the crank. So you can imagine what and how many street brawlers it toasted...the last being a 2017 C63 AMG sedan. Now that my bereavement is drawing to a close...I'm a coupe person...what/if year C55 AMG coupe to modify by dropping in a 5.5 V8 Kompressor and limited slip differential? Thanks to all in advance.

No such thing as c55 coupe

CLK55?

Why not just take a CLK. Swap a M113K into it? There you go. CLK55 AMG Kompressor Coupe. Or just buy another CL55?

principledchiro

Exactly, thx you. Coupe or rag top? Which is lighter? Can an LSD be retrofitted?
The CL55 AMG is heavy and problematic ABC.

PJmak

at that point save money for a clk63 black series lol

Oh goodness. Now you are talking a whole bunch of work here. A coupe is lighter because it does not have the softtop and all the mechanisms to go with it. Also, might just be better off to just buy a clean CLK55 AMG Coupe or CLK63 BS.

A C209 CLK55 AMG clean like I bought cost me $19,000 with 33,000 miles and mine is basic too. Now factor the engine swap, LSD and labor. Seems like lots of work for not much gain.

You don't need a CLK. M113k fits the w203 engine bay.

Bit with how many doors attached?

tjts1

As many as you want.

Accidental L8 apex

He wants just two, so how is a w203 going to do that not including the POS Sport Coupe?

tjts1

LOL are you daft or something?

Accidental L8 apex

So what's the other w203 coupe choice then?

The Russian salvage yard special edition

tjts1

LOL WAT?

Accidental L8 apex

Exactly! The OP wants a coupe and you're suggesting everything but a coupe yet have the cojones to ask if I'm daft. Genius.

Threads have a beginning for context. Start there next time.

tjts1

LOL are you drunk or retarded?

Accidental L8 apex

Neither, I can simply read and if you could, you'd have read where I posted "besides the POS Sports Coupe". Jesus H, feel free to head back to where you came. Now, kindly GFY.

tjts1

LOL b!tch please, you don't get to set the rules around here. The "POS sport coupe" is by far the lightest car with an engine bay designed for the m113k engine.

Accidental L8 apex

"Can accommodate" and "designed for" are not the same thing. Now go out and play, adults are speaking.

This whole thread has me confused now.

C55 AMG Coupe would be taking a W203 Coupe and stuffing the M113K into it. Not production at all.
CLK55 AMG Coupe is a C Class chassis with 2 less doors. Almost the same car they made those. Those had a N/A engine. I have a 2005 CLK55 AMG Coupe and it is basically in theory a C55 with 2 less doors.
They never made a S/C C Class. That you will need to go aftermarket.

tjts1

Everything is interchangable between w203 and w209. And they did make a supercharged c class coupe. It just had 2 less cyls.
