Question Wow should i get this instead of E55?

Guys what do you think? I just went up on Renntech site and i got an idea.... Instead of E55 which costs damn alot! In Canada since i'm converting US currency to Canadian i'm overpaying like a good 35 US thousands, I could get Slightly used 03 t or 04 CLK500 and then Tune it with renntech... here's the numbers!

There's many pakages for it but i take the most fastest ones.
Performance pakage 3.

Low boos supercharger kit with intercooler.

443hp @ 5750 with 447 lbs-ft @ 2400-5000
thats not very much pricey compared to this.


Performance pakage 4!!!! now check this out!
5.5 liter conversion with high boos supercharger & intercooler.

and get this lol
530 hp @ 5800 with 548 lbs-ft @ 2400 - 5000 Now that very fast!

But pakage #4 is kinda pricey, BUT overall its gonna be cheaper then E55 like 20 k and one of a kind too!

If i do pakage # 3 although its not as fast, there's enough money for brakes suspension interrior exterrior CLK DTM widebody?!... If i'll do #4 I'll be able do brakes with suspension and few small things thats about it, but great performance.


Or should i get E55 lol and shut the hell up?

If a true widebody like the DTM car is an option, then I would do that (along with supergharger.) I wasn't aware ther waws any sot of kit like that and if there isnt it would be custom and expensive. With the DTM look, the car would stand out and look more up-market than it is. Without it, regardless of what you do for performance, the car just has a smaller, lower class look than the E and up cars have. The question is whether or not that matters to you.

I don't know the conversion rates, but a 500 to a 55 is a little more than a US 20K difference.

If I had one on order, I'd wait.

I dont like the overpaying idea that much but I would still probably stick with the E55'er
