Would it be foolish to trade my 04" S430 AMG package for a C55

Thank you Thai, you're absolutely right!

Cool down. Not trying to stir things up, you should seriously consider to keep that $19200 in the bank and happily driving the S430 for another year.

I don't think you being ex owner of 996 and M3 would cope with a Nissan longer than 6 weeks. S430/500 are top saloons in Hong Kong cost more than 1.3/1.5 million HKD - over three times the price of a new Z350 in local here. If you have decided to get a third car , SLK350 would give you pride and sporty fun.

Now its time for you to supercharge the 350Z You can get up to 450 WHP on the Z. I had one as a demo when I did finance at a used car dealership. Hated the interior but driving it was fun and the exterior was fun. Honestly in that class though I would much rather have an S2000 then a SLK, CLK(Unless AMG), Z4, Z3 and so on...........
