Post C43 AMG or 951

The production manager here where I work has a C43 AMG Mercedes. I drove it yesterday and it was fast. I don't think it was faster then my stock 951 but he insists that it is. Anyone have any ideas or experiences?

Is it the new or older model? the older model has around 300 hp and has a 0-60 time of around 5.9 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph, while the new model is a bit faster with a higher top speed.

It was the V8 not the Supercharged six. It is a 98 model.

AMG made three C-class variants. The C36 with a 3.6L 6-cyl, the C43 with the V8, and the new C32 powered by a supercharged V6.

This one is a C43 and he insists that it has 345 HP due to some chip or something. I would like to see a chip that can give that much HP on a N/A engine. But oh well whatever.
