My C32 & My Other Ride
I actually bought my '02 C32 about 8 months ago but haven't posted here until now. I have been lurking here for a couple of months to get some questions answered and check out some of the members' rides.
I decided to take advantage of some recent overcast days here in LA to take some pictures of my C32 and my other ride to share with everyone here. Both are bone stock for now...

nice c32 as well as viggen. How do you compare the power of the viggen to the c32. One of my friends has a viggen and the turbo in that seems to be very strong and the car always seems to pull pretty hard.

Thanks to everyone for the welcome and compliments.
The Viggen is very fast with little or no turbo lag, though there's massive torque steer when pressed hard in 2nd gear. It's 225 hp is sort of low by today's standards, but the 250 ft/lbs of torque and light chassis make up for it.
Compared to the C32, though, it's fairly crude - the ride is stiff as a board, there's plenty of road, wind and engine noise, and the doors don't close with that solid thud. On the plus side, the sport seats are ultra supportive and are about a hundred times more comfortable than those in the C32 (Has anyone figured out why the seats in the W203s are so hard and flat?!)
But their contrasting qualities are why I have them - the C32's my "uptown" car that I take on special dates and occasions and when I need to chauffer family and friends from out of town, while the Viggen is my everyday driver and/or when I feel the need to stir the gears.
As for the third spot in my garage...do you think I'm independently wealthy or something, Glasgow Gold?!
