THE C350
Wow that looks like fun wish I had my w203 still
Don't think a e320 Blutec with luxury suspension would be to much fun on a track.

Nice video! The second half looks pretty lonely, though. Did that make you want to change anything about your setup?
Watching that makes me want to get an MX5.

I hustled the beast, those were some good drivers. My setup is completely stock with the exception of race tires. (Continentals)

The C230 Sport is not a bad car. Ive owned 4 miatas but with the baby, I needed something with seats. Plus its more comfy going home.

Thanks for the complement, I actually host that event here in Atlanta. If anyone is interested its www.jzillatrackdays.com

The only thing I want to do is put H&R springs so it doesn't dive so much when braking. I also need about 30 more horses. Since the car is manual, i think I will try to find a W204 C300 Manual to replace this one.
