Kleemann Supercharger!
Seriously, that would be my dream CLK. Besides the Supercharger I would also get all the necessary mods to the chassis, the Kleemann rims, the whole Kleemann package.

If money was no option, I'd dump the engine and get a v12. Then I'd have it bored out to a 7.4 L engine, and just for the hell of it, I'd supercharge it. I'd definetely upgrade the suspension (Evo Stage I), and throw some BBS LM wheels on it. I'd get the full Lorinser DTM kit, and tint the windows completely black. If I were you, I'd give the brakes to me, and then put some Brembo's on it. Ummm, I'm drooling now.

But since you probably can't get the V12, get the 55 and turn it into a 6.1.

I'd also bleach my teeth so that everyone could see my huge smile as I drive by.

Money no object? Drop the "K"

I would drop the "K" in CLK 55 and get the CL 55!

Supercharged Kleemann CLK55

Be sure to peel out a lot when you get the Supercharger installed.
J/K But do it once like this to get it out of your system.

Thumbs up $600 ?

Great avatar and pics!!

What comprised the $600 bill? I'm assuming two new tires. Brakes from the ESP? Exhibition ticket?

Mach, when you did that was your 430 just a stock 430... no mods?

Awesome pictures, looks like it was well worth the $600 for all that fun .

$600 for rear tires, everything else was fine. Except it took a while to peel the rubber off the side of the car and the wheel well. That was 8 months ago, the mark is still there! I'll take a pic for a 1 yr anniversary... That pic was done as stock.

If you think it's worth $600 for the fun, I'd be glad to sell you the pictures, leaving no copies for myself for $600!

Thumbs up

Seems like you had great great fun. I just got new rims and tires, maybe not a good time to me to spend more for the fun. Definitely do it later!
