(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 ...

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

My car looks and sounds fast, but I loose to my friends 2000 Nissan Xterra, I dont tell to many people that.
My MB service tech did say my car was "peppy" for a c240

haha you guys are crazy its safe to say that belive it or not not every car out there is faster than a c240 maybe most but not all anyways i know that a c240 is faster than a 328 and second what does 0-60 matter? were on the highway here not at a red light i grant that its slow 0-60 but cumon HATERS how much faster is a c230 komp sedan compared to a 240 anyway?
#73
yes it is faster than a 328 my boi has one off the line he kills me at a 40 or mph run i have more torque so mine pulls on him his front bumper will be lined up to my rear and we both stop when we hit 140

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.
