2002 C230 Coupe
Autohaus C230 race car

Kind of stumbled on this pic and story while doing a google image search. Looks pretty cool. I wonder if he's got a limited slip differential? I want one too! But nobody seems to make one for the c230 differential...

cool find.

That line about hte SRT4 having turbo lag, and having to commit to the throttle early on ...and it being scary

sounds exactly like my auto transmission downshift lag ...

I wouldn't say it has excessive lag, its about the same as a WRX...its just that huge rush of power that makes is feel longer. Great engine...I'd rather have that than the M271 or the V6.
