The Holy Grail

Could this be the perfect w202 with the 55K engine plus tons of nice options? This vehicle was talked about recently, but now we have a video

Have you noticed he has three expansion tanks under the hood? Cooling for the SC perhaps?

Crazy, seems to work for me on both my phone and my computer...

Maybe try a tablet or something? Video is on instagram, the poster there is named lurendrejeren

search for him by name or just do a search for w202 c55

the video is basically some guy wearing sunglasses shooting a burnout out of his drivers window lol

i see abs plastic on the same website. i think it is better than fiberglass. what about carbon wrap? might look nice to wrap pillars and spoiler too, fresh look!

carb wrap will be a contrast to my silver paint.
wrapping B-pillars and rear window cap in carbon might look good on silver car

Don't let your girlfriend lie to you.. Bigger IS better!

Would love to get some numbers on the w202c55k though. I have a feeling there's more than just meets the eye..

+1,

IMO; stick with N/A & expand the displacement to "5.8l>>6.0l", still better than to go with (S/C or Komp) with nightmares..

is it right that they always use the 5.0 to increase to 5.8 or 6.0 and never the 5.4? Is it because of dimensions, does the 5.0 sit higher for the extended stroke?? which is wider for greater bore?

any chance someone can get the two engine blocks dimensions for us to look at?
