sold - w211 e320, f250, rx7 race car
Your doing the supercharger not to go faster - cheaper but to have a very rare car. Yes an e55 might be more bang for the buck but they aren't one of a kind. Look at Kleemann, I was going to supercharge my e320. Around the same time I decided I wanted to be a race car driver, the race car thing won out over the supercharging. One money pit is enough.

If you put $40,000 into a E500 it would smoke an E55 and an e63 AMG like a blunt.

E500 cost today around $20K + $18k mod = $38K
Dont forget, its still a E500 not AMG at all. THe resell value will not same as authentic E55 AMG
Plus, upgrade SC is only the engine mod, how about the exhaust, Break, rotors, rims, intake.... there is a lot of other mod that will cost $10K
E55K cost around $26K - $33K depending condition. And it will be easier to fix since there are many number of 55K engine than Kleemann.
If you waant spend $40K...... $30K in E55K + $10K mod = 600HP not 515HP. Plus, with better intake, exhaust, handle and break system.
