If you want to compete against the 'ricers', then do yourself a favor and get a V8 Mustang.

The C230 is a great car: Safe, Dependable, Comfortable, Great Handling, Somewhat Quick. BUT, even against a bone-stock Integra you're gonna get your head handed to you.

But don't despair. Benzes exude an aura of maturity, so the vroom-vroom set really don't try to race you at stoplights. (now if you had a nice big wing on the back, an unpainted body kit loosely attached, and a set of cheap steel wheels on the front, then you might get some street action).

Well said.

If you want a fast car the C230 isnt it. Have you looked into a C32?

haha arlgith. well thats fine and about convencing that a benz is the right car for a 16 yr old guy to drive cause they are safe. and yah i looked at the c32 but its hard to find a used 1 under 22k and th c230 is perfect. i mean i porb wont end up racin git. i just want it to sound good and the sport exhaust is right for that 1. probaby just upgrade the headlights and fogs and put a nice system in it. i mean hey what 16 yo doesnt want a sysytem lol. does anyone know if you can put the 06+ head unit and ac controller in a earlier year c230?

Thanks for associating an Integra with the term "ricer"

2002 C230 coupe , NOt THE AVATAR!!
Why not a Razor Scooter with a "Ultra future tech" (NON-CREMIC)metal step on braking system with my "Brembo" sticker, "Nike" shoe increases aerodynamic, "TRD" on the right side of the body, "Powered By Honda" on the left side, "BMW badge on the handle bar, oh don't forget "FORD" (Found On Road Dead) under the scooter. These setup could beat the hell out of a Wal-Mart Shopping Cart with auto-matic (anti-theft) Braking sensor!!!
