maybe we could have dragon, bennyz, and some kid from southern california's mom go head to head to head in a supertuner shootout.

2x WTF?? LOL

Even if this true (WHICH IT'S NOT), he wouldn't stand a chance for a multitude of very obvious reasons.

For starters, torque wins races and a 570 hp 1.8 would definitely lack in that department.

i guess i layed the sarcasm on TOO thick. im just trying to point out that a 570hp c230k would be in the same ballpark as bennyz and dragon, but obviously a c230k doesn't have the potential to hang with a seriously modded c55. also, if you read the thread on amgpower.com, this guy is not talking about his own car, he's talking about his mom's car.

p.s. sorry about the dry sense of humor
