Better believe it. I posted the MotorWeek Review of a 00 323ci which they got 6.5 secs to 60mph in my previous post.

I completely agree with PC Valk's earlier comment - this thread is really trashing the C240 - it especially kills me when I see C230 members trashing the c240 when their car would be blown away just as easily by various infiniti's, lexus', bmrs, gti's - the list goes on..
I own a C240 - I've driven the C230 SS - it didn't feel much faster - it certainly didn't blow me away. I think both models are awesome - if you really want something fast - get yourself a c32 or a c55 - or build it yourself.

it did happen it was actually my friend, in both cases, with the maxima and the a4, the a4 was ahead of me, i was keeping up for a little while, until i passed him, but i think that my friend got scared of the high speeds. And my friend with the maxima i did beat, we raced before a one lane merge, and i was able to get in front of him. Im not sure wut maxima he has tho ill check and let you guys know. As for the accord i honestly, do not know what type it was. it was a pos

This is the funniest thread I've read since Session's Rachael's Rays Big Beefy ***** thread earlier this morning...............
This kid's just another idiot who knows nothing about cars. Let him live in his delusions.

You haven't driven a C240 if you really believe it is dog slow compared to a C230SS.
In fact I'm driving a brand new C230SS rental because my C240 is in the shop for a new Transmission Control Unit. I've driven one previously for a day - I have this one the entire week and I'm driving the hell out of it. It is pretty fun - not 'blow me away fast' as compared to my C240. It feels like my C240 with perhaps a tuned exhaust and intake change.
It is that subtle difference - kind of like on earlier cars when you added a header, exhaust - some basic boltons. You expect big improvements from your changes - but when you drive it - you are a little bummed.
I love both cars - they are both sweet looking and fun to drive. I may not have the AMG kit - but my black opal, xenon headlights, funnel spoke wheels - looks pretty close. I just need to lower it.
Thanks
nothing to see here... move along.....
