If that is what you call your Corolla because you paid Mercedes price for it

HeavenlyBang:


Which truth. He just doesn't know what he's saying.


Every single car made by Mercedes-Benz -- God Bless Karl Benz's glorious soul -- is the fastest car ever made. The C300 is much quicker than your shitbox Nissan GTR.

HeavenlyBang:


The A6 would've been perfect but Audi's tend to be designed by brainless junkies.

bizzle2:

Where did you get a start button for $9?
The button was listed for about $90 at the Mercedes dealership my friend took my car to for checks. But I got it on Amazon for $40 and that's the cheapest I could find for a genuine Mercedes one.

Slap in a hemi V8 and hit me up!

Heavenlybang said no forced induction but to catch diportivo for that naira Marley road, you need to force everything so force the engine in it.

A big congratulations to heavenlybang. More blessings.

Maybe all these boys with 2004 C230 go let person hear word with their powerful kompressors now.

No strength required, when the noise start, just accelerate

$9 Aliexpress part came in.
Works perfectly.

bizzle2:

It costs $9 for a reason bro.
The Genuine Mercedes and OEM options have lasercut/stenciled inscriptions, are made of better materials and have higher reliability. The difference will always show down the line.

For me, fit & finish, reliability, premium feel . . .very important.

To spend 14m on a car and then cheapout on a start button, that wouldn't make sense.

Ladipo is a good source, didn't cross my mind.

Meh, I'm not touching the button all the time. Mine feels sturdy enough. Your inscriptions are just darker.

at 9bucks, buy 5, it wi still last 600 years

I've been driving like a hooligan. If I drive carefully, I get about 14 mpg on a tank. Fair for a 5.5L.

I reckon I can get ~220 miles from a tank.

mejai:

Will MB ever leave this analogue kedu ihe na aku clock. It covers the dash men.
How does the kickdown feel like?

HeavenlyBang:

Was changed in 2012 to a colored LCD.

Honestly, the Infiniti's kickdown is more "violent". This car is way easier to drive slowly.

kingreign:


If only they know that MB's kick down doesn't come anywhere near Infiniti's in power and surge and momentum and drama and ecstasy.

Well, since its a Benz, its the best or nothing!

kingreign:
Some folks never know that many non German cars will annihilate a lot of German cars.


A 2005/6 G35 and also an ACURA TL will destroy a C350 w203/204.

Well, it's benz. Others are japmobile so they don't come close. It's a benz the best or nothing.

2cribz:
When i felt my own 13.8 mpg na wickedness.

HeavenlyBang:
One of my biggest fears was port security. Plenty of stories about Port rats, offloading damage, etc.

It's a bit hard to tell if the car was damaged while offloading. But only one thing was missing when it got to me that I'm sure was in the car when it left the US. The start/stop button. It's a simple $9 item that has been bought.

Headlight control module was also missing.
But I don't know where that happened.

So, on to the most important things.

It's a fine car. Far more refined than the Infiniti, perhaps at the expense of engagement.
Even with the V8, it's not a sports car. It's a grand tourer. Soaks up bumps and has plenty of power on tap.
While the G35 makes its power brutishly and at the top end, the E550 is silky smooth and simply pulls you to ludicrous speeds. Very smooth.

For example, if I have a gallon o fuel when accelerating in the G35, it usually falls over. It doesn't in the Merc. It's the torque that's simply amazing. 394 lb-ft at 2800 rpm. More than an E90 BMW M3, a Lexus LFA, or an Audi R8 V8. About the same as a Ferarri 458 Italia.

In comparison, the G35 doesn't make its peak torque of 268 until about 5300 rpm. That makes for a big difference in driving experience, it also means I can sit at 100km/h with the engine lazying about at 1500 rpm.

That said, the VQ35HR is a much more exciting engine. This 5.5L was designed for smoothness in the S Class, not for racing. It shows. The exhaust note is also very muted, and even when you step on it, it just growls softly.

Make person dash me Magnaflow mufflers, I'm pleading.

The car is fully loaded, essentially. It's only missing the Distronic Package.

The 12-speaker Harman Kardon system bangs. It's almost overkill for a coupe.

I have heated seats, panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, paddle shifters, pretty much everything.

Handling isn't as good as the G35. You can feel the weight of the car. But it's definitely capable. Besides, my boy racer days are over.

Steering is too light. It's what I hate most about the car.

Engine is rated at 382 HP, but I'll eventually get a tune to push it to 415 HP. Other planned mods include exhaust work, an Android headunit, and UR strut bars for tighter handling.

Car has just 88k miles on it with complete service history.

Shout out to
