Never heard of the C55.
From wiki:

Along with the mid-generation refresh of the C-Class in 2005, the C 32 AMG was also replaced, giving way to a new 5.4-litre naturally aspirated V8-powered C 55 AMG. This was an evolution of the V8 engine found in the previous E-Class, with power raised to 270 kW (367 PS) and torque climbing to 510 N·m (376 lb·ft). The C 55 AMG uses a V8 from the same engine family as the W202 generation C 43 AMG. Though maximum speed is still limited to 250 km/h (155 mph), the 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) time has dropped to 4.7 seconds.[22] Unlike the less-powerful V6s in the rest of the Mercedes-Benz lineup, the C 55 AMG continued to use the five-speed automatic with AMG Speedshift. The C 55 shares its longer front end design with the CLK 55 AMG to accommodate the large 5.4-litre engine. The C 55 AMG is the only AMG model to feature different structure than its base Mercedes platform. The C 55 was the first AMG C-Class to feature quad exhaust outlets and an external differential cooler. The Nürburgring Nordschleife lap time seen on List of Nürburgring Nordschleife lap times for the C 55 AMG is 8:22 compared to 8:37 for the C 32 AMG mainly due to the revised suspension and extra torque. The C 55 was mainly sold as a sedan with a portion of wagons being sold in European markets.

Edit: That could possibly come off a little LMGTFY-ish. Didn't intend that, just figured you may want to know more about it.

Now, you may think 'SVT Raptor, whoop' but keep in mind.

I live in Melbourne, Australia. They were not sold here by Ford. No recent f-series have been.

And it was RHD too.


I was happy to see one in the metal.
 
I can't possibly imagine what that thing cost him to import; the crew cab & graphics options alone bring it up to $50K. Fitting country for such a truck, though.

I'd imagine all up including conversion probably best part of 100k lol unless he did it himself.
 
Parked just next door to my house, as if to taunt me.

Yeah this was a spot from last week that I completely forgot to post:

And this was today. A Abarth 500 far way (my phone doesn't zoom in). Oh and the girl driving it was pretty hot as well

Today I also missed a yellow MK1 Capri.

On other news a bonus shot

The very portuguese Sado 550

Wow! It's rare to see such a nicely modified Neon! I usually only see stock ones and poorly modified ones. It would be perfect if the grille was the same color as the body, I think.
 
I went driving around at Destin, FL today; I went to a Porsche dealer first to look at 911s and went to gamestop afterwards to get 2 Batman games. Anyway, when driving around, I saw some great cars. Enough for a big post.

Keep in mind that I still live in an area where Porsche 911s aren't really everywhere.

I also decided to go check out an Auto Body Shop to originally check out a Plymouth and Pontiac GTO I saw at the front, but what I didn't expect were other vehicles here that were left to rust.

It's sad, a wrecked & Rusty Mercury Cougar. :(

An old Ford Bronco that seems to be in need for TLC. I would buy it if I could, especially in this color.

Oh man, I first saw my first 991 Porsche 911 GT3, an Aston DB9, and now I saw a C2 Vette & Pontiac GTO on the way back. What a great day. :D

It's raining there and the C2 owner has the top down? Please excuse me while I go buy a baseball bat and a plane ticket.

Yup, if I knew where he was; I would've told him about that. I feel bad for just leaving it there.

EDIT: Wait! I accidently left out this:
