Thought this story was kinda ironic given the topic and DAMN longevity of this post.

This is retarded. The fact that you (c240 backers) proclaim to have won, yet continue blabbing is evidence to me how shaky you really feel given the scientific (unrefuted, undenial example using INDEPENDENT test results), statistical (any sample size below 40 is ludicrous), and logical (great, your car pulls faster in a range NONE OF US ever drive in in the US, and if you do, neither of these cars should be in your driveway) backing against your case. Tell me when the salad tossing party is over, ok? MB agrees with you so much, they dropped your engine AND your badge!!!! 
amdeutsch, I mentioned my profession in passing...sorry it seems to have threatened you so much. No need to be ashamed of what you do, the world needs ditch-diggers too, ya know.
This thread OFFICIALLY blows chunks.

P.S.
Afterall he is a self-proclaimed professional negotiator.

Something tells me these were the guys in school who thought five straight flips of tails meant the next one had to be heads. Or that three straight flips of tails meant the coin was weighted.
They are so arrogant that they believe one flawed video represents every production model, and will make your head spin from logical leaps to defend it...apparently, their amateurish methods, using the same c230 over and over, no less, are more sound than car&driver and popular mechanics...let them. They can't refute any of the arguments I make, so they change the subject and try to belittle or intimidate.
Geez, even John Kerry supporters have shut up by now!! But only because people stopped caring what they have to say. And there were a lot more of them than these three wackos.
As I've said and demonstrated, there's a chance these guys are right, but who cares? No one drives in the range in which their attention-starved car pulls faster (yeah that cyndi guy owns a 230, but he's self-loathing). They need to stop hating.

I though a fair race would be auto vs auto. but no, can't be fair cuz the c240 won. the C230k should have been manual with Rakkonen behind the wheel and some fat *** one legged slack-jawed yokel should have been driving the auto c240.
(F1, last lap, 1st place, tire broke suspension, it sucks...) 
I have to race a c240 with my CDI :p , but first I have to find one in portugal, its a weak selling model here, less powerfull and more $$, and for that price its better a c320

Does saying things like this make you feel smarter? Cause you know, smart people never make typos. Amusing you say I'm not smart, yet the only refute you have for anything I've said that basically disproves your entire premise is "paper racer". And we drive on paper bridges, and fly in paper airplanes. All designed on the same concept.
And amdouche (lol, kidding man) calls ME a redirecter...

Guys this is what these arguments probably sound like to an Mbworld outsider...
Team C230:
"Oh yeah well the c230 wheels are lighter than the c240's wheels and they look better"
Team C240:
"Yeah but your still driving a four banger"
Team C230:
"oh yeah well your Mama's so fat Osama bin Laden is hiding in her belly"
Team c240:
"Oh yeah well at least my 6 cylinder engine can carry her fatt as ss and bin laden faster than your C230.
Team C230:
"Oh yeah well 3 comes before 4 so that makes us better than you"
Team c240:
"Oh yeah well three rhyms with pee and that's what I'm gonna do on you"
Team c230:
"Oh yeah well four rhyms with ***** and that's what you are"
Team c240"
"Oh yeah well thats right all we do is ***** on all threads about our c24's
To be continued......
lol see these arguments sound very retarded like that lol

Someone please just make ANOTHER C230 vs. C240 Video.......this time have a couple forum members as spectators..so the credibility of the video can be reliable.
Have a C240 auto vs. C230 Auto
C240 auto vs. C230 manual
etc..
have the video posted, and lets end this Civil War.
P.S. I'll volunteer as the C230 Manual owner if the run is around Chicago area

Or I "could" get a C240 loaner when i take the E55k in for all the nice things that seem to go wrong and we could race those.
But a honest race would need to be a auto C230 vs an auto C240.
PM me so i can contact you if needed.

The 15, a fair amount of cops along there!
Your better off to run the I5 through Camp Pendleton. I'll volunteer to be following car behind, and i can get a passenger with a video camera.
