well, he asked a question .... lets answer it accordingly ... 
i have raced my c240 and beaten the following list of vehicles ..
(note- some of those cars might've been parked while i was racing them
while others, their respective drivers might've not been aware of my intentions)
this one was the most memorable
as for what i recall, the driver had about 10 bumper stickers
that gave the car nearly 1 hp gain ...
but once his hood feel off, i passed him easily

THE C
Thats the same reason I got my C240, to be on the downlow and to avoid getting more tickets. It is the slowest car I have/have owned. Slower than an Integra LS (DC4) as well as an RX-7 (FD). Some people need to get out there and experience driving a real sports car to know whats fast and whats not.
Ok sorry for the hijack back to OWNAGE!

gotta agree with people, the car is adequate for some freeway encounters if you got ***** and its more of line and skill driving, but the car is just NOT FAST. the pick-up out of a turn/lanechange/stop is just ****...if you want a fast car, buy a bimmer m or a ricerocket, but a C240, short of full kleeman or brabus or whatever, is just not very fast, and for that kind of money you can buy an M3 or C55.
i prefer LOOKING fast, because after all, these are daily drivers, and we want comfort and drivability...so performance is less of an issue than looking damn cool, and very-modded Cs arent TOOO common.
I excepted long ago that my car is just not a streetracer, but i do admit sometimes I show off for people , and its cool for that

I know man. I hate these dam things. I am waiting to see if the group buy on the Velocity wheels goes down. Hopefully by August I will have new wheels.
