Brabus

Ok My rents got a C240 (168hp) slow...

So right now where looking for brabus upgrades I found one on brabus.com for 3500 and it gets it up around 240 hp. You guys have any other Ideas or site for benz performance with out voiding the warranty?

If you know a tech personally he can use the STAR diagnosis laptop to set the base timing foward. This helped a c240 I did a few years ago tremendously! The only catch is you HAVE to run only 93 or better fuel.

lol it will probably cost me more for gas lol@ 2.47 a gal. Not to mention its a 4matic aka worse on gas and on the dyno.

I've never known anyone with a Brabus or AMG car worried about an extra .50-.75 cents a gallon on gas.

It's a C240, I say leave it be. No use trying to make it fast because it never will be.

well the package I saw 168-242 hp is pretty good we just want some pick up knock the 0-60 time down from 8.3 - 6.5 n under.

any reason why they didn't go for the S/C four? cheaper, and faster. more tuning option too. i'm not trying to flame on your purchase, i'm just wondering what the logic was behind it.

We would have but no 4 matic

out here you cant get around half the year in Rwd.

gti1689 · 03-28-2005, 06:30 PM

i see. i figured that was the case.

is this the package that you are reffering to?

looks good, but even thought thy they list it as "C240 and C320" the 240 doesn't show up once u click the link. o well. more horsepower can't hurt. it's cool that you have parents who are willing to tune their car.
