newbie Q?
Been reading the stuff here and realize I've stumbled upon a great resource.
Can you guys give me a link with all the specs of the C43?
I'm trying to figure out if its a 4 or 5 spd auto...I think its four.
I also am trying to figure out if there's much difference between the the C43's motor and a regular E430 motor.....
I realized the other day that if i could actually find one, the C43 is a preformance bargain at (usually) less than $30 grand. Unless the new S4 becomes really cheap, I could see myself in a C43 in a year or two....
thanks for your help

all c43's are 5 spd auto (98,99)
now the 2000 models (only 20 made) are 5 spd auto but with speed shift
difference in c43 motor and e430 motor is 302hp/302tq vs 275hp us versions
might not be a drastic difference but C43 is lighter than Eclass so difference is bigger than on paper
