Video: c230 engine sound from in car

Today I made a short video of what the engine sounds like from inside the car while giving it some gas. This should give you a little idea of what it sounds like but this video isn't to show acceleration, I only used from 2nd gear up and I stopped accelerating at a little over the speed limit. Enjoy!

Haven't had the time... ...I definately wil lthough. I've been looking at 01-05's, I'm more used to the interior look of the older ones (mostly the dash), after looking at a brand-spankin new one. I'm 70% sure I'm getting one other than an 04 or 05, and I'm actually off the C240, and looking at only C230's and C320's, after I saw the performance specs for a C240. I'm not just going for the performance, but the C240 is a lot slower than it feels, so yea it's a poop-out.

longer vids = bigger filesize = i need more webhosting space. if anyone wants to host for me i'd do it.

ya, definitely is hard with a manual transmission. how about to the steering wheel? probably not enough range to show speedo and tach though

and BTW... sounds good and all, but the charger is much louder in person (for those comparing it to the 240 tanks)
