Choosing a Merc help

[GarethGTT]

Hi,

I owned a TVR Cerbera not long ago and am looking for somthing with similair grunt with a bit more comfort.

Ive got a budget of 20k and dont mind wether its 2 seats or 4, would prefer it to be 2000 or newer.

Ive had my eye on a Black C32 AMG but with such a large lineup of other Mercs with big engines i wondered if there is anything else in my price bracket with similair performance to my Cerbera?

PS anyone had a C32 remapped and derestricted by DMS Automotive? what performance increase did it unleash? any power graphs?


Thanks

Hi Gareth

I have a 2003 CLK55 AMG (209) that has had a DMS remap/delimit. The car is great. I would recommend the model to anyone. In fact when I bought it I had originally planned to keep the car for three years only but its so good I've decided not to sell. The engine, gearbox and brakes are just fantastic. The challenge when driving fast for me is to handle the weight transfer becuase at 1700kg its tough. You get 4 proper sized seats and 400bhp with the remap.

There is one downside though - my last service cost £2700!

Hi Peter,

Must admit that looks very appealing.
