Racing my C230K
Hello Fellow MB Owners..
Just wanted to know that my little 99 C230K with just a K&N filter spanked a few cars....
I've had a chance to race a couple of 3series BMW's off the line up to 100Km/h.. a short sprint...
Spanked a '98 328 BMW by 1.5 car lengths
Spanked a '02 325 BMW by 2 car lengths
Punished a '97 EXR Accord while having an extra person in my car
Punished a '02 V6 Legacy while having an extra person in my car
Wasted a '00 Acura GS while having 3 people in my car.
Smoked a '00 Sunfire... wasn't even funny..
Yet to race a 2000 Honda Prelude
Yet to race Acura RSX
Yet to race 2000 Honda Accord V6
Yet to race Audi 1.8T and 2.8V6
Yet to race VW Golf 1.8T and VR6

i would beat a 99C230K. I have them beat on every thing but weight, which is less than 100lbs. difference. The Dakota can take me all the way up to 50 miles per hour. He has a lot done to it. It's so funny to see people mess with him. Here's another good story. We were sitting in 3 lanes of traffic. There was a new Celica next to a Civic Si. They were both revving up their engines ready to race. They didn't even notice us in his truck sitting in the far right lane. When the light turned green we killed both of the cars by a HUGE amount. He also beat a supercharged Civic Si at a track one time. I normally don't race my car except for the occasional traffic light run. I don't even mess with the little rice rockets, there's no point anymore. I only race when I know it will be close, just to find out.
