I suggest you get to wearing those 16" tires out. Your car is gonna look so much better with the wheels of my superior.. err.. I mean, off my Sport package sedan.

I drove Trey's car in Kennesaw on Friday night. It drives great - the new suspension makes it sit and ride a lot like my car, only without the somewhat ridiculous harshness of the 2005s in particular.

Just got my tune an hour or so ago
They were great had an issue flashing my car but I have had issues with star not talking to my car properly so I don't blame them for that. They got it done and all I can say is wow.
I didn't think i would really notice anything different well i am glad i was wrong. The car has a meaner sound to it then it use to and my dad also said that too. It revs faster and goes faster what more could you want. I will update you guys once i have driven it for a few days and can also check fuel millage.

Let me know if anyone has questions about the tune would be happy to help

We should've raced. There was no power difference at all, and you know it.

Did you really just say that.. Lol thats a funny joke

Its crazy how much that amg body kit changes the look of the car. No wonder after the C32 they decided to put it on all there models.

Glad to see you got the tune.. Blah keep me updated on how everything goes with it

Yes I did. Trey and I each drove each other's cars and unless I grossly misheard him, he agreed. A new C320 vs a new C230 would obviously be different. However, a decade and 155k miles later a car just isn't as powerful as it once was. My C230 has no trouble with a 2001 330i, either.. a car faster than either C230 or C320 when new.

Well i just got back from a 4 hour drive in the rain and i am still very very happy. The car has a new sound that is addicting which sadly is killing fuel millage but that is my own fault. Yesterday i was able to get around 28mpg so it does not look to have hurt fuel millage as of yet.
So to sum it up best mod ever and yes i like it more then my bix

decided i was not going to push my luck it was at least 2 feet in one place lol and moving really fast









My car can get 32mpg so it is fuel efficient right?

I'll buy that as fuel efficient!

WTF! They ever post one of those signs here, and I can borrow a 1970s Chrysler or something I'll just have to park it there. Add that to the my list "stupid things I've seen."

So today I took a drive with a friend down to Luray Caverns and Skyline Drive. Well sadly we did not make it to Luray till 4:45pm and the last tour was at 4pm. Since we wasted like 2 hours driving down there we decided to have a fun trip home. We found my new favorite road in my area. It had very sharp switchbacks but they were sloped so you could fly lol. Then once we got on Skyline drive i started to take some pictures. Enjoy there are some really good ones that I actually plan to get professionally printed and hang them in my room. Yes my camera sucks it is 6 or so years old I will be upgrading in the next few days to a DSLR
My Favorites














Many More pics
