2003 Clk55 Amg Question

I'm thinking of getting mine to 500bhp (like the SL55)
Anyone knows if its possible to get that done through AMG or would i have to see brabus and the likes ?

There probably will be a special vehicle CLK from AMG. Wait....are you talking about the new W209 or W208?

Install a Kleemann Supercharger. That'll give 500+HP easy.

The W 209 CLK 55 will only come as a 354 Hp n.a. engine.

Go to Kleemann in Brüggen, Germany , that's not so bad from Grenoble, they can give you 550 HP.

PS.

Just drove the CLK 50 K from Kleemann last week ..............

Damn, what a killer, I thing you need to sit on a towel in the 55
