Congrats, Benz Addict. It looks like you took a C36 that didn't know it was racing.

haha yeah right all jokes aside C36 can't compete to a stock S500 at the following: Off the line c36 will be 1.5-2 car lengths ahead but S500 catches up and passes very quickly highway speeds in my case I was gaining right after 60km/h. 3.6L vs 5L V8 180km/h++ you go figure.

DAN it was silver with dark tints, black painted monoblocks with a pounding system and it was in Mississauga not Toronto so obviously not you.

Unfortunately benz_addict that wasn't me you were racing. I drive a Tectite gray C36 with silver Monoblocks. However, I am in Mississauga often so maybe we will get the chance to meet on the road so I can really give you a run for your money!

I love messing around with bigger Benz's like the S, E and CL class because they never suspect a C to keep up to them and pass them!

Those 3 little letters on the back are there for a reason and make a Big difference.

I will say that one time I ran an m119 swapped 560 SEC w/ my C43 on the freeway, and it was impossibly close, way to hard to tell if he was pulling or me. I'm sitting at 302 bhp, him at 330-ish plus a lot more weight and only slightly more torque. So stranger things have happened than a big body S pulling on a C36

yea

true, i toyd with a lot of cars and the 36 does an excellent job. i can't wait to turbo mine. it's fun messing with the beamers and the other day this guy in a charger R/T was being all "gangsta" n stuf, he was driving pretty agressive next to me, so when the road was clear, he punched it, so did i, his car was fast, but those chargers are REALLy heavy, once i hit 40MPH i started pullling got about 1 one car length
