Sheesh. This is the easiest question ever! C43 duh!

Why would you want a 5.5L V8 over 4.3L V8?

Why would you want an E, when you could C?

Depending on what year E55, why would you want the fastest production sedan ever?

xlr8tin, buy a 1998/1999 C43 over the 1999 E55 only if you need a smaller slower car. If you need an even slower AMG car get a 1995-1997 C36 AMG. Sorry, AMG does has not made anything smaller or slower than a C36 AMG.

well it was a 2.5 lt 16v 190E actually.

2.3 190E isnt AMG at all.
If you mean 190E 2.5 16v Evolution I and II AMGs.
I dont know much about EVo I but EVO II is about 230hp and 0-60 in 7.1 seconds. EVo I is much less hp which makes it the slowest AMG car. BUt one must also know that these cars could easly modded to over 300hp and take 800-1000 lbs off ifor weight reduction. and comes with 5 speed manuel tranny. only 500 were made and only sold in europe.
