That 200lbs will not even be noticable. It would be no different than having someone in the passenger seat.
By that thinking, the fastest of the non-AMG C-class cars would be the C230 Sport Sedan. It's lighter than the C230 SC.

of course it makes a difference why are people always trying to shave off the slightest weight,like a carbon fiber hood,which saves roughly 50lbs,so they have faster 0-60 and1/4 mile times every fraction of a second counts

And if if's and butt's were candy and nuts we'd have a fine Christmas. You didn't mention mods in your original message. I believe the question is does the weight difference between the two models make a difference? The answer is no, the 320 is faster. I doubt a pulley on a 230 makes it faster than a 320 anyway...what's your point of reference/facts?

no point on that,yes stock 320 is no doubt stronger and faster than a 230,no question there,but when it came down to weight and dividing weight to hp ratio factor,does the ilbs make a difference and you already answered that thanks,and back to my pulley in my coupe,which is a auto,it is faster than my brother-in-laws c320,we dragged it numerous times from light to light,and i get him everytime
