Lets get my credibilility out of the way
1stly I'm not a kid. I have a son & lost my teenhood over 10 years ago.
2ndly the M3 in all the pics is mine. You can see by the winshield stickers that its the sae car. The reason I couldn't post yesterday is because my brother borrowed my camera. I had to go & get it on my way to work this morning.
BAM! Here you go Improviz.
The timesip is from Wesbank raceway. Do a Google search for Johannesburg's altitude & you will see that its 5750ft above sea-level. According to this NHRA Altitude Correction Factors:
http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/misc/altitude.html
One would have to multiple 1/4 mile ET by .9315 & trap speed by 1.0731 to get equivalent sea-level times. I don't believe these formulae are 100% accurate (unlike you) but mere guidelines. But anyway it works out to 12.794 @ 108.75mph.
But just in case the formula is out I like to compare to different cars on the day. I raced a C55 & he ran 14.4 best. Dracco's C32 ran a best of 14.8 that day I was supposed to meet him. But I have seen C32's do 14.5 there.

M&M, any credibility you had is left in tatters on the floor after one examines:
Your history of trolling other Internet forums under multiple user IDs;
(click here for other multiple instances of the same behavior):
your getting busted lying about "stock" M3s running 12 second 1/4 miles:
your getting busted lying *again* about the "stock" M3s *and* three more lies:
your refusing to engage in honest debate, lying about what I said, and changing the subject when proven wrong:
stating you would be at a dragstrip on Sunday, then not showing up and issuing a lameass excuse when you found out a C32 was going to be there to take you up on your challenge (whoops; gee, I know I told you I was going to be there, but I decided to get my car modded--on Sunday!!)

Jon, I don't have a video. Would a video of me & a C55 running down a track suffice? Same day, same track, side by side with a C55 down the 1/4 not good enough. Problem is I don't live at sea-level & it's an 8 hour drive to get to a track at the coast. I don't go very often. I will get a video next time I go down but I doubt that will help as my car is no longer stock.
Improviz, I have not lied about anything. I still claim those cars are stock. The only evidence you have is that they have aftermarket wheels. I have stated above the video what mods the cars had.
ALso, I would liek you to do me a favour. GO back & check all my threads where I said anything derigatory about Mercedes Benz. Some kind of troll I must be if I don't diss Merc.

And any idiot knows that stripping weight off of a car makes it faster in the 1/4 mile!!

Sounds and looks like you borrowed your "brothers" or someones car for 5 minutes and not got your camera back.
So when can you meet with hte C32 dude at the track that is gazilllion feet above the see level, blow his doors off in one of your "many cars" and set yet another new world record in the prosess, so that we can hear his story for a change and you can just seet, relax and smile while he will give us the details of that sad outcome?

Furthermore, u asked us all "to show intelligence and admit that a stock M3 can beat a C32/C55", a statement which is correct til u factored in the 'intelligence' issue and asking us to show it.
And, you said "you doubt a stock C32/C55 can do 12s stock" --------------> is that not dissing Benz
You are one big troll because you hvn't been able to put up a neutral and balanced discussion about cars or about ur M3 at all.
You are a troll because u showed no respect and went on and on and on about how the M3 can beat the C32/C55 (which is correct).
When you came into this forum, u repeatedly mention u chopped your mates C55 four times and you repeatedly claimed that a stock M3 is capable of 12s and then tried so hard to find all the video links or other resources online you could to prove u r right where as your claims are highly suspicious.
Come one man, you know deep inside you that ur initial intention to come in here and post was to diss Mercs.
You mention in another post that you did a few rolling runs with STi, and S4s. Did you go into WRX forums and brag about your kill story?
It is so sad to see a great car such as the M3 driven by particular individuals like you who seem to think it is the only there is right now.

Jon, what do you want me to do? That's the way it happened. I beat those C55's. Maybe one day I will lose to a C55, but until then I believe that my car is faster. I have no problem losing. My buddy with the Sti is faster than me & I'm happy for him. I just came here & posted what happened.

It would be wonderfuul if you put "fk you at mbworld this is my MM 's car" in the window of a car.
You could buy that poor kid in front of a car new t-shirt and read him a book instead of trolling just about every auto forum on this planet.
you can do it!!!! think, think, think and something shall come into your clowns head.

Wel you guys will have your fair share of M3 kills. Just remember it swings both ways. I don't expect any of you to post when you lose to an M3. ALthough I don't give a damn & post about my losses just as much as my wins.

Once again you fail to realize what kind of forum you are responding to. Of course we will talk about how many M3s we beat, since this IS A C32/C55 FORUM. Now posting about losing to an M3 is up to our discretion. I suspect C32/C55 people would post a loss to an M3 purely for discussion and improvements that the C32/C55 driver could do. WE don't need an M3 driver to come into our forums explaining how the M3 is super invincible and can do the most supernatural things. You are saying that all of us should just go to an M3 forum and explain how are stock c32/c55s that run 12 seconds beat all the M3s ever made.
hoping that you have AT LEAST a LITTLE AMOUNT of intelligence, what do u think M3 users are going to say? OMG U ARE COOL I WANT TO BE LIKE YOU?
THIS IS A C32/C55 FORUM HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO GET THAT IN YOUR HEAD

LoL, okay I seriously think you aren't very smart at all, either that are you just can't seem to read. Let's take a look at your comment
I never said the C55 is superior than then M3 in ANY of my posts. My posts in this thread are showing how you FAIL to realize what audience you are posting to. Your constant "plz don't hate me I like to tell all u c32/c55 ppl out there that i'm better than you," isn't helping your case at all. Now with a utterly moronic comment like "IT'S JUST SLOWER. IS THAT BETTER?" what are you trying to prove?
A statement like that will just incite more flaming which you obviously enjoy. First you explain how you can never lose to any stock c32/c55 with your bone stock m3, then you explain how it depends on the driver, and THEN you come back to saying that the C55 is just slower?
............ amazing what kind of ppl there are out there

No I didn't say I couldn't lose to a C55. I could, as could any other M3 out there. Could win as well. But if all goes well with a goodd hook-up & perfect shifts my opinion is that it will be very close but a strong M3 should just edge a strong C55. But that's just my opinion. Obviously people on here will differ.

My A4 gets killed by M3's all the time... does that count?
Sheesh... driving cars is about enjoying the driving experience - not about who can best who. I've learned in my life that there's always somebody who can outrun you, outgun you, or outsmart you - but if you're confident in yourself, it shouldn't matter.
I love my cars - whether or not they win or lose to M3s, modded Supras, Ferraris, Chrysler's... etc.
As much as I disagree with M&M and Thai and as much as I agree with Improviz and Psychobabble (and the majority of other C55/C32 owners here), I think that in the end all this bickering and arguing goes nowhere, but ends up hurting the forum by shunning those who don't like continuous flame wars like this.
I know, I know - I've been guilty of flaming too - but I'm trying to honestly decrease that behavior - it just does no one any good and you can never convince stubborn people anything.

M&M and Thai have provided excellent reading material, so I won't urge them to stop.
A few topics that I recommend:
1) Go to a Porsche forum and tell them how their Boxster is second rate - a poor man's Porsche
2) On the same forum, start this thread "Mighty C6 eats 997 for breakfast, lunch, and dinner"
3) Go to a WRX forum and state "My EVO ate 5 STi's this past week"
4) Post the vice-versa on an EVO forum
Bring popcorn and your favorite beverage. Sit back and relax.
