This was a very funny lap. Thanks Micha. This was the last weekend at Nord for my trusty C55T. It´s now retired to "daily only". It was a lot of fun on Cup2, but I cannot recommend it. Too much grip for an old cars suspension.

The gears are too tall, and too few. It would have been a lot "shiftier" with a modern gearbox with like 7-8 gears.

Honestly haven't had this much fun watching a lap in along time. That thing is actually pretty sick, if it ended up getting built out further with better suspension( though bouncing is fun haha) a more responsive engine build and a manual swap or some sort of better response time paddle shift it would be insane. Props to that guy.

@@GardenGuy1943 the marshall said that is one-way street

C55s are such underappreciated cars. They've aged really well imo. N/A big V8, small package, RWD, hydraulic steering. This was a car that had an identical time on the Ring as the e46 M3. The C55 has more hp and torque but weighs about 200lbs more than the M3. It handles very well for what it is; an Autobahn cruiser. But these were very evenly matched cars back in the early 2000s. This car definitely should've been offered with a manual gearbox though.

Very true , don't forget the CLK55 Coupe ,,2005 came with six piston Brembos up front and four piston at the rear ..

That dude was Taycan the piss.

Arguing with the marshal too is the best idea 😂 Ho boyyyy. What a clown.

Genuinely great to see a car this old (but this capable) being treated to good parts (great brakes, great suspension, great tyres - that last one louder for those at the back, GREAT TYRES), with an owner who clearly isn't scared of spending good money for good parts. Kudos to him for that, the car seems incredibly capable.

As an aside to almost all of your videos, as an English person it always surprises me how well you and your non native English passengers are able to effortlessly communicate in a relatively stressful situation. I'm sure if I were Scandinavian, Dutch, German or French or whatever, I would be fearfully swearing in my own tongue around the whole lap. I am still looking forward to the 2CV or Renault 4 lap. Love the channel.

I love how the owner is an unsuspecting older dad type, acts like it's basically stock and then you find out it got upgraded brakes, cup2 and KW suspension lol (although probably well worn given the bounciness), sleeper both the car and the owner

Even I don't drive and have only been on sims like Gran Turismo around the ring, I know from Misha's videos you go around the building to get out not the one way we came in! Great lap also by the way.

Love the C class Estate design. Specially the arched back. Thanks for this fun lap!

Crazy fun lap. 👍👍 The guy in the Taycan... WTF! 😂

He's driving a porsche so he think he's superior and above everyone.😂

It's so satisfying to watch how someone can drive anything :D. Very good job.

I didn’t before today appreciate how bumpy that circuit is. Normally the cars are set up with varying degrees of track functionality and the bumps don’t translate to the video. But after this I have a whole new perspective. Cool video.

Great content Misha! I love this generation of cars with ridiculously sized engines.

That needs new dampers for sure. The way the front bounces around 🙈

That thing looks like it drives like a sailboat and shifts like a snail but man I can't imagine the fun that car must be lol... Love the fact that the owner just casually laughs off the fact you almost glued his front bumper in to the Taxi 😂

Hey Misha and owner, as a former owner of an almost similar 2014 C220d AMG Estate, I can vouch for the finesse of this car, but envious of this specific example. Einfach Klasse und sehr schön vorgeführt. I can say that as half a German, but that aside, this demo nailed it for me - Hut ab!!

Hey, I met the guy who owns the C55! He was at Apex when I was there in June and I was waiting on the track to re-open so I could go out in my rental. He was trying to figure out what to buy and was super interested in a Corvette. Small world!

this might be my favourite owner reaction. He loved it. So good. Great lap

Great sleeper! Great power plant, nobody would say there is a v8 in it, the owner you can definitely tell he is one of ours, age doesn't change anything I love to see it!

I think this kind of car deserves a highly progressive suspension so that it's comfy to drive as a daily but it's strong enough to keep the suspension from bottoming out. And super high quality adjustable dampeners to make it go nicely with progressive springs.

11:41 poor man accepted his fate and started enjoying finishing the car

Old dude in old dude car rocks up with properly modified for track Benz ❤🤘 Men you will never be old if you're this cool at his age.

Niceee and beautiful car! its just need a refresh on suspension and will be a perfect toy to enjoy a lot!

"those beautifull reverse lights" xD Some peoples entitlement really makes them do weird shit xD

Goes alright for a 1700kg estate. Suppose the 360bhp v8 pulls its along well. Usually only see c32's in the uk

This one kept me stuck to the screen! Super fun lap, super cool owner, and I felt sick due to the bouncing lmao

I have a C240 sedan with a S320 engine swap. The feeling in the brakes of all Mercedes are very spongy. It is also my main gripe about the vehicle.
