C55 AMG
Maybe they're waiting to see how much 'factory support' they will get from Mercedes.
For example, the base price for SLK55 is Euro 55,150... thats over $66,000. A fully loaded SLK55 in Euro is around 65,000... thats around $78,000... around the base price of the E55.

55 will be the cost, 60+ will be markup,
Just like the Evo and others..
For that money you can get a used c32 and do a stage II plus some high cost wheels..

As always, the guys at Evosport were great and really did a beautiful job on my wife's car.

Sorry to break this to you, but i was able to flog a few C55's yesterday at the AMG Challenge in Homestead and they are sweet. AMG guy there said they would be around $53,900 MSRP without the NAV.

LOL. That's kind of what I just did for my wife. I just got back to the Bay Area after picking up my wife's C32 from Evosport. Long drive.... 7 hours b/c of an accident in the Grapevine... usually takes me 4 hours 20 minutes. Anyway, 7500 mile 2003 C32 and the rest was spent on Evo I and II (minus headers), H&R coilovers, Bi-xenons, painted side markers and SSR GT3s with SO3s. It all came out to around $53K. I thought it was a bargain for what is basically a brand new 410 hp/ 400 lb/ft torque C32 . The thing was a blast to drive home. Not quite as strong as my SCed V8 CLK, particularly from 110 up, but alot faster than I expected... and maybe a little too fast for the wife.

We just thinks its going to be a price gouge.
If you belive the AMG Guy on that price, go to a dealer and try to pick one up when they arrive, they will laff you off the lot..
I bet its around 60K
edit, my question is
If you are compairing the C55 with a C32 what is you experience with the C32?

Evo II is for C32 and legal, As long as you don't mess the cats you should be fine.
Kleemann on C55 has never been done in CA yet, but should be fine.

As for the AMG guy.....he's an AMG guy, not a dealer. And a reputable dealer wont sell for more than MSRP unless you are shopping for an SLR. There are plenty of reputable dealers out there, one who even sold me my SL55 at MSRP or offering me an SL65 at MSRP. Hating?!?!?!....LMAO.

Never said you were hating, or ghetto???.
It seemed you were sorry to break some news to us, and I was wondering sorry for what?
When the C55 hits it's going to be a case of supply and demand, and unless your dealer is a family member, ppl are going to get raped.
SL55 owners..sheeshh
