It’s supercharged. The S65 and SL65 are both twin Turbocharged. Some old diesels were also turboed. By the way…I work at Mercedes ---

I got it at IAAI. And yea, i’ve seen a bunch of them, but 90% of them have been autotragic. I figure this will be a fun car to tool around in for awhile. We’ll see how nice she turn out 🙂 And thanks for the interior info, thats just shitty though ---

> [@Xander](#): > > Didn’t know they made those with three pedals. > > X… Of course they did, I had an 03 for about 3 weeks bought it cheap and sold fast for a quick buck =) Only complaint I had about it was the size, i’m 6’3’’ and had comfort issues. Right now i’m looking for an 05ish E55 AMG, such beautiful cars… ---

Whats up with everyone not knowing if this car is turbo or supercharged? I thought that was basic car knowledge. I know, its not an evo or STi so it must be horribly confusing. LoL GL with the project man, looking forward to seeing the results. > [@focusinprogress](#): > > They are fun to drive, but indeed could use some performance. to swap out the magnetic clutch pulley for a normal pulley on the s/c is like $800 for just a damn pulley. lets not even talk about exhuast. this is why he hasnt modded his in the 2 yrs hes owned it lol Thats pretty much why I decided AGAINST buying a 230 sport sedan.

PS, these things are retardedly easy to lower on some nice H&R springs. SOOOO SIMPLE and other AMG front bumpers fit too (my friend works at autobahn and put an AMG front bumper and wheels on his and lowered it, and it looks tits) ---

I drove a silver 5spd at Adesa before, it was in mint condition and it was pretty cool (kinda small tho). You cant really do much in the parking lot there but I got on it out by the pond and it wasnt bad. ---

Dude that is a fun car to drive. My friend had a 280 (auto :hang:) when his car went in for service, I assume it was his moms or some shit, and that car was a fun ride. Does the 230 have the same suspension on it? Active whatever, where it slants the wheels and what not? Nice find! ---
