Id rather spend 8k on a c43 to invest 50k in it then buy a e55 for 20k because that's my personal choice because I prefer to own this car. Everyone has their own preferences......


Props to you and I wish my 43 was that fast. About time someone got some decent numbers out of a w202 platform.....

However, with the 5.5L JE forged pistons it made 469rwhp with extensive mods and I believe the stock 500 tranny ut that was also with JE pistons. He now has bored the motor out to a 5.6L motor with mahle pistons and is already doing mods insearch of more rwhp.
So basically he's been there and done it all. I don't think the 4.3liter built can attain the same #'s especially not reliably.
