In any case, thank you. You have made the whole C55 vs 300 question much clearer.

First time i raced my brothers truck it had 40k ( my car was at the shop for 2 and half years.) i beat him then and i beat him today on my way back from berkeley we stopped in fremont to get gas--we were in a 2 lane each way road, i was on teh far left their was car to my right and he took shoulder at the light and rolled down the window he said he would race me. I said 'do you want to get spank again?' he just laugh and off we go! hahaha actualy i dont mind that you dont believe me ! we are racing tomorrow and i'm getting the digital camera to capture it all ! 
and then i'm going to record myself going by the camera on longggg straight old hwy where no one goes on anymore...going by at 150 mph see what it sounds like on the outside! all i need to do is mod my intake as plan tomorrow and of i'm! i'll post the video later when i get back from SF with the GF. :p

does a 1999 Suburban, w5.7 liter fuel injected motor not qualify for comparison in this arguement? I put the Airaid intake, and headers, cat-back exhaust, +Power Programmer "same as ecu" on that motor.

My wife worked for McDonald's when she was 16, but her Dad never did, close though. You're quite a stand up guy, calling me names to drive your factless opinions home. Does that make you feel like a big man? Are you cool enough to stay up all night and watch the Mercedes chat forum at home on a Friday? Well done. Must be nice to have that kind of spare time. You guys argue a kill story by calling people names and posting 'smilies' of cheeleaders? Do you play Dungeons and Dragons and trade baseball cards too? Please tell me you still live at home and you're only 16-17, I'll understand your logic much easier. And for God's sake, buy a performance car at least if you know so much about it.
Hell I bet my 69' Ford Bronco could as well... And yes we are all 17 and stay up late eating junkfood playing D&D, trading baseball cards...Yeah right! Boy know wonder your so uptight and argumentative, What a crummy childhood you must've had....Ya poor bas*tard...And I love this part "Buy a perf. car if you know so much about it" Man you do have a lot to learn... I guess you've never ridden in a late 60's early 70's fully built Muscle car have you..

As to your antique AMG comments, seems like everyone here thinks they're worthless crap. That's sad. Would you rather have your '69 Bronco (assuming its nice) or a 2001 Explorer? That's how I feel about my '86 AMG vs. a 2001 S500. May not be worth quite as much, but much more collectible and rare.
I actually like any year AMG, sorry I took it to far...ps...check out this link it directly reflects my sentiments on the topic at hand "Modding and actual hp gains"----- https://mbworld.org/forums/performance-upgrades-tuning/112407-k-box-useless.html
