One thing that I don't understand is why we don't got the 550 engine

I don't think people in the us are interested in 1.8L and 2L merc engines or am I wrong?

I thought Europe got the bigger engine but they left the "500" name?

I had a ride in Badblack's 550 the other day and it's a torque monster. So much so that I'm thinking of doing an engine swap soon. Sleepy, in Europe the 500 is the same motor as the 550 without the name.

What does that have to do with the time of day? The point is Europe has the 550 engine they just kept the 500 name.

Btw it's .7 seconds faster 0 to 60

I think a engine swap would be pretty awesome. Expensive but awesome, how many miles would you like to see a new engine have?

Your car is pretty badass even though I am not a big fan of CF, I do respect the quality and throughness of CF you have/ are are getting installed. If you had the strong c32 engine it would really set it apart from the rest.

Thanks for the compliments. I don't want to talk too much about the engine swap. I currently have something in the works and don't want to jinx it. I might be pulling the trigger in the next day or two.

Wrong section. This is for CLKs W209 not Cs.
