w211 or supercharged w210

I need some help. I have been going back and forth between getting a new W211 E55 or supercharging (Kleeman) my current W210 E55 (2000 model). Any opinions? Also, which of the two cars would be faster - does anybody know? With the cash saved from supercharging my W210 versus buying a new W211 E55, I can do other things for the house and etc. Thanks ahead for any opinions and help.

Just supercharge it, and that's enough. You probably already have the fastest sedan in the street. And for god sake put some money in your house. U Americans always got the most expensive cars on the driveway , but your houses are all made of cheap *** wood materials and inside there is no design what so ever..

Just my opinion, no offence

And I really dont know if u are actually an American.

I say get the 211 55, as your resale of the aftermarket supercharged 210 will not be good. Even if you take off the Kleeman stuff before you sell the car you may not get that much back compared to what you payed for it. Lease the 55 and do what leases were designed for and put no money down. The difference you save, you can put in "your cheap wood house"...LOL :p

'06 E55, '05 SLK55, a few others
Leasing makes sense if you're going to leave it alone. If you want to start modifying it, stick with the 210 and supercharge. It will outrun a stock W211 E55 easily, and you've already taken the depreciation hit. The 210's also handle better.

Supercharge your current 210 and you'll be faster than a stock 211. Also i believe the curb weight on the 210 is about 3800lbs while th 211 is about 4200-4300lbs so if you do s/c the 210 you'll be faster. And wait till you go S8 then you'll be ---> :p
