this pretty much sums it all up! You make it clear you are in over your head and don't know what you are talking about!

 

Wtf is up with everyone here, I think it's time to move on.

 

someone get this guy of this forum please

 

Well let me tell you something as a 19 year old, times are different I worked very hard for my money and spent on something I thought I would appreciate. First get the numbers right I said 137k miles. Second I really don't care how much my car costs. And no disrespect I love your car and what you've done to it, but I said it's my life because I'm freakin 19 years old I'm sorry I don't have a family or anything I don't know if you do but that's your life. Obviously if I had a family or somethin and had a normal job that was feeding them they would be my priority, but I'm young I'm having fun I like spending money on my car and a whole bunch of things I like driving it and everything just like you do and every other kid my age that likes there car, if your saying I'd die for my car heck no it's a car I'll work and buy another one. My future is my life I said those things to prove a point. This argument and that is what it is started when operantly I didn't have the right anymore to express my feelings on how my car behaved after this upgrade. Again nobody and I mean nobody had to respond or had to read this thread, it was the reader's choice to reply.
Again I'm going to repeat myself I said it drove like a C43 I love every C43 but I'm not saying it's faster than one understand that, how do whoever was offended know what I meant when I said it drove like a C43. I could have meant it's faster I could have meant it's slower I could have meant it's the same, what I'm saying is the replier could have in a normal way asked me have I driven a C43 or any other question for that matter. And I would have explained myself further if I had caused a confusion.

And for that matter the dyno that I took the test happens to be very precise dyno, dyno dynamics is a very well and used throughout dyno. Does it matter that the graph looks old what does that have to do with anything, I don't use dyno's that may show blown up numbers so we can all feel good ohh look at the fake numbers my car makes woopdy doo!! No I could have used many other dyno's in the area, but I wanted one that will show correct and accurate numbers. The test was done by a trained professional whos has been doing dynos for a long time on very high end cars, and the test was read after 3 runs to be exact. So hopefully that clears things up.

 

All I can say is wow.....

Some of you people have a major chip on your shoulder, as a casual MBworld visitor I am constantly amazed at the personal attacks and nasty replies to posts.

The fervor of the C43 fanboys is intense!

They are both great cars, and both have their good & bad points

The C36 was the first official AMG-Mercedes joint venture, and is largely hand finished - which makes it a lot more unique. The engine is a very nice stout unit - 276bhp, 385nm is hardly gutless for 1993 (Europe release)

The C43 is much less bespoke - due to this I would imagine parts would be easier to come across/cheaper, but is more powerful than the C36 and has newer technology. Of course its quicker than the C36, its simple physics, but by most accounts there isnt a huge amount in it - 26bhp & 35nm is not a huge amount of power so this isnt really suprising.

At the end of the day, just chill guys, the Dr seems to have released a nice product that produces good gains, and has dyno results to back it up, what more do you need?

 

what have you added to the forum? what claim do you have to even be in here?

I am more than willing to post both my errors and my successes with modifying my car and have been doing so for as long as i've owned it. There aren't all that many people actually modifying any of these cars in a significant manner and I doubt the overall forum populace would prefer I didn't share the knowledge i've gained (mostly by trial and error) with the car.

I should have never got caught up in this argument. I have absolutely nothing against C36s and have many times considered owning one. My issue is strictly with this forum being used for advertising when that is against the rules, takes up space etc. (and may mislead people). I still stand strong on the point i've made time and time again on this thread- that this thread represents an advertising attempt!

I'm sorry if i hurt any feelings of the guys with C36s and made myself look bad- but 90% of what i said wasn't personal and i'll stand behind it as much as possible (and i really would welcome any taker of my $5k challenge as a friend!)

i'm 20 but damn this 19 year old is NOT acting like a 19 year old, u sure ur 19 man? if you are u gotta grow up man. i love you C36, and i prob will dump some cash in to make it quicker, but u wanna avoid the hassles buy an E55 or somthing

 

a guy posts about how much he loves his car and u start bashin him but you own the same car and are in the same club, thats not right if you ask me, you either have to understand that its not wrong to liike your car like that or just not be a part of this crew, how am I supposed to go to a meet and meet up with these people after having these arguments

 

who did that?

 

not me tho

 

Hey Z06 eater, yeah I'm really 19, and sorry if I sound older just wanted to be more mature to stand up to the big guys. But what if I were to tell you I actually own 2 E55's. My mom and dad both have an E55 and I drive a C36. There is no doubt I love those cars but I luv ma C36 even more. Thanks PJmak, I go head over heals for my car, it's just me I don't how to describe the feeling. It gives me the sense of individuality like I'm different then other people. Yeah I coulda bought a crappy E36 M3 and supercharged or turbo like everyone else in the world but no I wanted to get a car that you don't see often (only seen 3 other C36's in my life other than mine), a car that looks like one you don't want to mess with. And thus the name I got C36ickness I just got a sickness for the thing. To know that my car was built by a German technician with his own hands gives me this feeling that I have heritage, passion, design, and many other things in what takes me around the world.

You know to me something built by a German man is basically the best, I love everything thats German. And I drive an AMG tuned benz which makes that feeling even more worth while. There are 2 other reasons really that I love driving a Mercedes-Benz but if I said them I'd probably get booted off the forum. And hey if you don't like the pulley, all I can say is hate it with all the heart you have, or if you think me and the DR. have this little plan on selling it I really don't care because pulley or not I love the heck out of this car and that is what a Mercedes-Benz is all about. And hey SILENCE if me or the Dr. (which he had nothing to do with) sharing how much this item is a great upgrade for your car is marketing then I'm sorry, but it sounds like that because I wanted to express what a great difference it made to my car.

 

This thread is now closed. Too much bashing and non-sponsor advertising.
