W202 c55 performance videos

Why aren't there any here from fellow members???

Id imagine with such a rare and unique car, people would want to post at least some races or stories of what the car is capable of.......


Im sure everyone would wanna know where this car stands in terms of performance. What are some of the cars it competes with and what can it take on???

E46 M3?? C63? E39 M5?? CLK55?

I agree why so little talk of the C55 performance and other stories.

Is it because people remain speechless after testing the vehicle and want to be hush hush about the thing?
Or perhaps they are still out enjoying the drives and haven't found the time to get back to put impressions on paper?
Lets hope so!

Come on guys get us dreaming and drooling

I have thrashed 3 of the 4 cars you listed not to mention a modded v8 Audi RS4 and a 2k1 stg 2 audi S4 and a modded 300C srt8 but never a C63. I dont have enough hps to run a C63.

For reals? I'd thought the C55 still wasn't as fast as an E55. Good to hear i'm wrong!

w210 E55 same motor but of course the lighter car is going to be faster. Its the major advantage I have against the other cars I mentioned. Basically power to weight ratio.

Oh I thought your car just had the swap done to it and you were talking about pulling on modded RS4s. I know CLK 208 is most likely not capable of that(stock)

I think a stck clk55 w208 is plenty capable of pulling a modded v8 RS4 up top like my car does. A V8 modded S4 would be no contest for one as well.

The caption for the video;

Dyno run of C55 (C43 with 5.4l motor swap) with ECU flash. ECU tune was a performance E55 (w210) tune. This tune caused the A/F to drop from around 14:1 to around 12:1. This caused a peak HP loss of about 4.5 rwhp and a max torque loss of about 17. Temps were roughly the same as the last time the car was on the dyno.

On 6/11/11 - max power was 284.72 rwhp and 309.89 torque
On 5/27/12 - max power was 280.22 rwhp and 292.50 torque
