I used to like mustangs. Especially the older models, say 92 and before. What I could never get over is the clunky interior. Just poor ergonomics. That continues to this day.

I can't say it was or wasnt actually a C23 Kleeman, but that is what was on the back of the car. The truth is my car isnt set up to drag, I race it in SCCA circuit races. I have never come across a EURO car that keep my time except some Bimmer called a M5. I am sure you would beat a 67 camaro, not much of a handling machine. A modern muscle car with my "solid rear axle" and a five-link supsension is a different story.
Oh and yes, I am enjoying talking with you meatheads. Don't take it all personally guys, by the time you pay off that Mercedes in 2030 it probably will be worth 3k more than my mustang.

My Buddy told me I was getting bashed on here so I had to respond. I was the one who raced this idiot. He didnt beat me like it sounds. Fist of all i have a 2002 C230K Coupe that I had Kleemanized by Motorwerks of N.P.R. Florida. They did a great job and said I had over 250 H.P. at the wheel!
I had him beat on the top end, every time he had to manuever for traffic I could blow by him and it took him forever to catch up. then he cuts me off before the next stoplight. He did get ahead of me a little there, but he had to been cheating because when I shifted out of first his car just made this loud hissing sound and leaped ahead. He must have had nitrous or a supercharger or something and twice the horsepower. If he had run up against a Kompressor V8 it would have been a different story, but these NASCAR
drivers in the POS trying to race all the time is ridiculous. I was thinking about changing the pulley on my supercharger again to get more boost. Would this work or just how much boost can it handle? Any comments?

I wouldn't put these two cars in the same category...not even close...I wouldn't sweat it my man...its a Ford Mustang for crying out loud...just fix your badges so I'm not pulling up next to you making fun of you too...or debadge it....

His badging makes sense. It's fully Kleemanized and it is a 2.3 liter m111, so a C23K makes complete sense.

Thats weak.
I haven't seen the badges so I may not be tracking with how it looks...I'd love to see some pics of this C23.
Sorry guys I clicked on the c class section out of habit...I'll go back to my E and ML sections now...
That K in a normal MB badging lineup would NOT reference Kleeman... these are modified badges...

I'm fully aware of the engine lines...let me ask you this did it leave the factory as a c23? No, what he is trying to do is make it look more like an AMG.

The picture they have is of a C200 Kompressor w/ their body kit. Their badges say C20K on the right side. So, since he's got the 2.3 liter, C23K makes sense because that is how Kleemann has it! He's fully Kleemanized!

No, he's just following what Kleemann did. Look at this pic from their website of the C Class Sedan.

Also, thats a picture of a sedan not a coupe.
I want pics!

Is your MX-6 an M-edition after the spoiler install? - I'm just kidding - we are on the same team here...

It doesn't make a difference if the sedan is listed on Kleemann's website or a coupe. It's still a w203 and still the same chassis, just different engines (and 2 vs. 4 doors). All the letters represent are 2.3 Kompressor. That's it. It's not posing or trying to be anything but exactly what it is.

See, but that's a bad comparison. The "M" edition on the MX-6 wasn't Mazdaspeed...LOL. In this case, his car is tuned by Kleemann, so he has every right to put on the badges of the company that tuned his car.

Kleemanized C230K Coupe
Not sure why some of you guys are picking apart my car. If you read my first post, the mods were done after market. Yes, I bought the C23 and The Kleeman emblem, it was NOT FACTORY! I don't see why you want to give a guy so much cr&p over improving his ride.

Look at my other posts. I even gave you some input on what I've done with my m271 engine to get the AFR down, so that it's not close to detonation. Although, the m271 (from what I understand) has a higher AFR than the m111's just from stock settings alone. My car was ridiculously high with all the bolt-on mods, before I got the custom injectors.

Actually the C23K does not represent 2.3L it represents C230 Kompressor m211 or m271 just like a C20K represents C200 Kompressor(not avail. in U.S.) All they do is drop the last zero and put the "K" in it's place. But there is nothing wrong at all with a Kleemann tuned car to wear Kleemann tags.

[QUOTE=gr8pilot;2257109]I am sure that i will be kicked of by tommorow. I just had a couple simple questions and then this whole thing got out of hand. 1st; what is a C23 Kleeman?]
c23 is probably a bit too much since no such thing exsists,
[Didnt really mean to offend anyone, except that ***** guy.
Anyway, getting tired here. Good luck with your cars, I really do admire them, just can't see myself in a foreign car. I am sure some of you can understand that.]
that would definetley make a lot of sense if foreign cars weren't miles ahead in quality and technology.

Update: Some choice quotes from above:
". I am very modern since I love to wear jeans" Is that all it takes?
"Would prefer a lady with large breasts and that is the only thing I require. I love to play with Breasts." I concur....but I would require more than just breasts.
" I live alone with my dad."
Lives ALONE with another person?
Reminds me of that movie (Airheads!) where some band takes over a radio station, and they called themselves the "Lone Rangers".
The radio guys is going, like if the lone ranger was lone, how could there be more than one?

Scarily there was all kinds of things that popped up in that Google search, but hey, maybe there's more than one person with that handle?
