Hi Spykeys,
I didn't drive the W204 C-Class C180K and C200K. My experience with the C180K and C200K is limited to the W203 C180 Kompressor and C200 Kompressor as well as the CL203 C180 Kompressor and C200 Kompressor Sportcoupes.
Performance wise there's no real big difference between them. The C200K had obviously a bit more grunt, but not by much. In fact, I'd probably take a C180 Kompressor over the C200 Kompressor since the performance is more or less the same but with better fuel economy.
The engine becomes very loud at around 170 km/h+. I was able to deliver a used C180 Kompressor to Munich and I maxed this thing out on the Autobahn going there. At 170 km/h+, the engine starts to wail like a 4-cylinder. Past that speed it doesn't really get much louder, but it still wails and screams.
Hope this helps.
