New here, just had an idea...

Let me start off by saying, I dunno much about MBs, but C230 Coupes have really caught my eye. I looked up specs on carpoint.com, saw 192hp S/C I4 (I may be wrong, carpoint has done that to me before). Not that I'd be doing this any time soon, if at all, but is it possible to swap the engine for say the V6 of the sedans? I'm a fiend for hatchbacks and the more power the better. Thanks in advance!

Hehe, I'm not planning on buying one, I'm a poor 17 y/o kid. I'm mainly into VWs, but love all European cars. I love the way the C230s look, but IMO, go > show. Quick question... what's the difference between C230 Coupes and C230 Kompressors, if any?

no difference (assuming you mean the 2002+ c-coupes). kompressor means it has a supercharger. all of the US spec c-coupes are kompressors.
