So, interestingly the owners manual for the c55 says 1605kg but the technical data sheet below says 1570kg. conflict within their own info. The other differences within the data sheets from the C43 are below as well marked AMG in the right hand column. As for the 0-60, of course, it was a bit of fun on my part (as i had a moment of doubt as to whether it was a c55 or a C43 before i contacted AMG Classic and got confirmation). It's on pretty new Pirelli p zeros. I don't intend to hoon it around too much any way and a bloke with an iphone isn't the best measuring tool.
One of the mechanics at the shop owns a C43 and if very excited to be working on this. He is going to put together a list of differences he can see from his perspective, along with engine and tranny numbers.
re: the taller gearing, i know porsche partly did that with my 981 spyder to improve 0-60 times (i can hit 75 in 2nd which is crazy), so potentially one fewer change in the run might improve times.. lets face it, the gearbox is no PDK with lightning changes. Not that it was ever meant to be and no complaints on my part.. i love the period experience.
i remember you have a FANTASTIC silver C55, isn't..?
(-;-ZAYED-;-)
Hey Zayed, Good thankyou!, the years are passing too quick. I still have the C55 and still working on C36 and W201, though kids keep me far more busy now =)
Hello, guys! I'm a huge fan of the 202 AMG, and I've put a lot of time and effort into my new project.
I created an entire website dedicated to the 202. You can get your datacard, and I also made a big page about the C55 AMG. It includes VINs from vehicles I've found on the web and via the database datacard.
Thanks to this forum, I was able to include some documents and links on my page. You can also filter the cars by a selected SA code.
For example, you can search for all the 202.033 with Designo interior.
I hope this will not be considered advertising, but I'm pretty sure everyone will learn new information. For example, I found two 202 AMG prototypes from 1996 with AMG prototype engines (not M104 or M113).
The site is available in German and English. Click on the flag icon at the top to switch languages: W202.info
Thanks!

Good to see my rather odd VIN represented! WDB2020331F770000 which, if your records are complete, means my C43 is the only w202 AMG with a VIN that ends in four 0's
Which VIN do you have? I am pretty sure it should be there. From 08/1996 all C36 have 5 speed and as listed on the site, only 890 C36 have 5 speed. I dont know where you got that 10% from.
Yes its for worldwide production. I know why you can't find it. The US cars have two kind of VINs. One in - I would say german format and one in US style. Your Vin in US Style: WDBHA33G9WF709427 in german style: WDB2020331F709427
Not yet, maybe this is an good idea for the future. So show the numbers of each model and color codes. Right now you can only search after a specific SA code
