12' W204 C63 AMG coupe "T-Rex", 12' W451 Smart Fortwo Pulse (99' W202 C43 AMG + Ultima Can-Am sold)
Naughty, naughty 
Found this video of a drag race between a C63 and C43. Our older w202's are not bad considering the difference in hp. I wonder what a C43 with a 55 swap would do...

a Stock C63 vs a swapped C43, the C63 should still eek out the win. The HP per lbs in a stock C63 is better, the TQ per lbs is REAL close.
The .01 drag coefficient advantage the W202 has over the W204 isn't enough to overcome the HP/lbs advantage the W204 has. It would be neck and neck for a minute though

I do think some exhaust would really help the 55 motor in this chassis, I think the higher rpm could pull more but it's likely being choked down. Headers and no cats would do wonders I'm sure. My exhaust is 100% stock.
I did not try. I pretty much got there and backed off, on a 2 lane highway, had to slow down for things ahead in the road. Wind noise in that car picks up drastically around 140 it seems.. still feels solid though. I was in Canada eh.
