Dia Blk '06 C230 w/3 pedals
I almost got smoaked the other day by this E36 M3. I saw the slightly crooked M emblem and backed off. Funny thing tho: it had these little 15" wheels, thin body moulding, no M front spoiler, side skirts nor rear diffuser and single pipe exhaust. Do you think someone debadged a 318 and tried to pas it off as an M car?

2005 C240:
168hp @ 5700RPM
177lb-ft @ 4700RPM
2005 C230:
189hp @ 5800RPM
192lb-ft @ 3500RPM
if you can't read or can't understand those figures (which I'm pretty sure you can't), the C230 has more torque at a lower RPM and 21hp more than your C240.
also, MBUSA states the 2005 C230 0-60 at 7.5seconds and many reviewers have gotten it to 7.1. MBUSA states the 2005 C240's 0-60 at 8.7seconds. since you know nothing about cars, 1.2seconds is a lot of damn time. the C230 is damn slow and the C240 is a lot worse, so you're not smoaking anything... well, by the way you speak and think, you HAVE to be smoking something.
btw, your ghetto cold air intake ain't giving you the 21hp that you're down. I'd say it'll give you 2hp and that's being generous, you may even be losing hp with that ghetto setup.

Net power 215 hp @ 5,600 rpm
Net torque 229 lb-ft @ 3,000 - 4,800 rpm
Too bad it's lugging around 5,000 pounds.

the c240 is slow and is not great to race. however, you can beat a maxima, focus, and an accord. i have raced my c240 a bunch of times, they are not that great. if you race a new 2.0 a4's you can keep up with them in speeds above 80 mph. but other than these cars, you are really limiited to slow cars
