Took my C230 at the track - Video
Usually i take my E36 M3 at the track. Due to issues with the suspension i had to use a different car so i said why not taking my daily and try it for the first time. It has new factory suspension components all around and CLK Black Series swaybars. No other performance mods. I'd say it did pretty good for what it is.

2005 C230K Sport Coupe
Impressive!
Especially considering that the 2005 C230K has undersized tires and brakes for a track.
Two questions:
1) Sedan or Coupe?
2) What tires did you use?
I use Bridgestone RE 7xx series tires (Ultra High Performance Summer e.g Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport) on my 'stang.
But, I don't drive it during the colder weather, or any bad weather. My guess is that even it gets too cold in GA during the winter to run Ultra High Performance Summer tires. My RE tires "aren't happy when the temps go below ~~45F". Below ~40F, their traction is beyond scary. :-O
