i wonder why didn't they use the CL65 engine. I bet that would've been even more powerful.

Yesterday I saw the C55 on TV. It looks pretty nice and his sound is impressive.

Do you guys think that the C55 would beat the M3 in a lap time???

I remember that the C32 was far behind the M3...

ofcourse it will be more powerful.. but cmon, its a c-class! would it really be necessary?
it'd look kinda silly having the 6.5 in the C, and the 5.5 in the E, woundn't it? overkill!

Maybe the C55 has the engine which has 350 horse power.

I think that it doesn't need to C-class.

C32 AMG is enough. I don't want more powerful C-class.

I have to say: as much as I love Mercedes, they are the masters of making completely pointless cars. :roll:

Hot! but wait till the new RS4...Benz's have too many electronics separating the driver and the road.
