For those who think sedans can be cool too

I present you my lame attempt at a video :lmfao:

YouTube- C55 Compilation

[SeanPlunk]

It sounds great. I'm surprised it doesn't burn out more though..

I think Mercedes use the rear brakes individually to keep traction in lieu of a LSD.

[BRIAN]

Yeah it sounds realy good!!

Few things that may be the reason imo:
I dont completely floor it until I hit 2nd (simply put: there is a "click" on the gas petal when you go past full throttle. If you push the petal all the way down but not to the click the car dosent put all the power down, you need to go through the click for the computer to tell the engine put down all the power... good old German enginers...)

I had ESP off, but traction control isnt completely off in reality (i could click on Dyno Mode to do that)

My rear T1Rs have literally 100 miles on them, so grip is as best as it will get

Sounds really good, even though youtube doesnt do the exhaust sound justice.

How much power is she putting down? You have to love AMG

[SeanPlunk]

I think it put down 312rwhp and 330ish rwtq?

Definitely. We need to get yours on the dyno soon too. I'm thinking of doing a dyno day in March - I'll keep you posted :thumbs_up:

Awesome I was gonna put it on a dyno next week but i think i'm gonna wait. We should call around and see if we can get a discount on a group rate :D

The last one was $40 for 3 pulls. No A/F though. Where were you going to have it done?

[blackax]

Every one at my shop has a speed shop they go to (not sure of there name but i'll post when i get the info) They had all of there c5's tuned there and they know them very well

How much power is she putting down? You have to love AMGLike Sean said, stock I put down 312/328

Other C55 owners on my Mercedes site have picked up 10-12 rwhp/tq after cutting out the secondary cats & resonator (before and after dynoes), so id guess I’m currently close to 325 rwhp & 340 rwtq. Not bad for being (for all intensive purposes) bone stock.

Still would love to get the car turned... but that will run roughly $1200. Would pick up another 45-55 rwhp and similar tq… but that’s still out of my budget as of now

You can pick up that much from a tune? That seems like a lot...

[SoCalC55]

oops let me fix that by saying crank. And yes with a tune plus time on the dyno to make it car specific, those numbers are attainable
