Headers are at least $2k. Superchargers are at least $7k. Used 5.4 liter engines are at least $6k. Pretty much anyone who is making good power on here has done an engine swap or is using a blower. My advice is to keep the C43 relatively stock and do the heavy mods on the turbo cars. I'm keeping my other car and bike so that they can be my science projects. My Eclipse is a good bit quicker than the C43 as it is and it doesn't have that much done to it.
Do the wrk to the Talon and only what you can to the MB.

excites your girlfriend
I live in england but went to uni in P.A, and only got my C43 AMG in june, best thing i have ever bought. Just in response to your jorney home and buying tyres from Sears, you should only put high quality tyres on your Merc, i.e Mitchelin's like the Pilot Sport, with a high speed rating, belive me you'll need it, I have my car de-restricked and the Cat removed and Run it on 97ron gas (0-62 at5.6sec)so belive me when i say when you floor it at sixty it will keep going and going, I've had it off the clock. Since mine crusies at 90mph at 3000rpm i believe mine is not far of doing 170mph when red-lining it flat out. You only need to change the spark plugs at 100k, if they are playing up. Your sunroof was probably un-used for a while and just sticky. oh and the cruise control is wierd on mine to, i notice on the C43 alot of button and knobs are multifunctional, ie double press some for a second function. ENJOY your car. Regards Sean:
