C 230 Vs 1980 500 SE....w tf?

Anyone here owner of a C230, in white, in Fremont today near Frys electronic, was reving your engine at a green Benz ? Was that a joke ? you never had a chance.... some of these C class owners here think they are all that--last time i was in my friends 330 and another one tried to race us.....

How fast is a 1980 500 SE ??? I think the C230 can get to 60 mph in about 7.5 seconds. If your car is faster than that, i am very impressed because the 500 SE is a big car (since you wrote that the C "never had a chance").

1984 Mercedes-Benz 500SEC 9.00 17.00
1985 Mercedes-Benz 500SEL 8.90 17.00
1986 Mercedes-Benz 560SL 7.50 15.80

source: http://www.z28.com/times.html

Unless the 1980 500 SE is faster than the other 1984-1986 500 models, I think your car is a little bit slower than that C230. Sorry

LOL, 1980?!!
damn, older than i am. not hating on the car, props for keeping that thing alive till now.

as for racing, yes, you will have idiots who think they're the s hit, but lets not come on here and generalize b/c of one incident.

As for your friends 330? BMW? ummm, nice car, but i wouldnt say it'll smoke the C.

LOL. i dont think any of us think our cars are super fast at least not the regular c class models, but think about what you wrote here, starting a thread like that you're asking for it.

anyway, sorry to hear some loser thinks his C is the s hits. Love your car, post some pics.

i think by today's standard, a car has to reach 60 mph in less than 5 seconds be considered a "fast" car
