From muscle to luxury

Hey guys,

Just wanted to introduce myself. I recently bought a 2010 C Class with 26K miles in mint condition. Coming from a highly modified 2011 Camaro SS this took a little getting use to. I’m new to this whole Euro luxury thing but so far I’m loving it. I could tear apart the block to the Camaro and rebuild it blind folded. I popped the hood on the Benz and I couldn’t even find the battery

From this



To this

Battery is hidden in the wheel well. I almost went in the opposite direction. I was starting the process of deciding what to replace the 2008 with and the Camaro was high on the list when my dealer gave me a killer deal on the 2011.

The Camaro was a blast to drive. It was bitter sweet letting her go but I built it for drag racing. I think I over did it to the point where it wasn't safe as a DD anymore. Driving everyday with skinnies up front in the rain is a death trap.

Welcome!

If I may: what made you go from a Camaro SS to a C? Needed a more practical car?

Believe me if it was financially possible I would have loved to have both. But yes it was time to let the Camaro go. I built it for drag racing and the cam was a bit too much for daily driving. Not to mention firing it up with open headers at 6:00am. Neighbors weren’t too happy.

It was running 11.9 but I never got a chance to run it with the drag tire setup. 11.9 on stock tires.

Not bad at all, almost as fast as the "C".

Pretty sure I lost a filling in the Camaro. You're right though. Sometimes it feels like the Benz is not even running. Thought I stalled several times.

The battery is at the right rear corner of the engine compartment.
