The C63 is a detuned version of that 510 hp engine.
I've driven a handful of 08s thus far, only 1 6 speed to date though...they must have revised the shifter in it because it is much more smooth than in the 203 chassis. If i had the money i would love to own a new c-class, very well done.
as far as the higher HP vehicles, max like 12secondv6 said is 617 hp out of a supercharged 5.5L. The engine in the SLR is based on, but totally different than a supercharged 5.5 found in SL55, CL55, and E55s. Brabus however I'm sure has a couple of things to make the SLR more powerful, along with the 65 series cars (twin turbo v-12)...they're lots of fun.
