ps: don't forget that on ctc230k dynos he had K&N upgraded filters, that's a reported 3-5 hp gain over stock...

You can clearly see the effect on ctc230k's dynos when the torque goes down to 110 at a 7000rpm peak. so unless you drive your car at redline all the time whe it's hot outside your car might even drop under 100 torque. you will especially notice this if you try to accelerate going uphill. You'll understand what I mean. I mean on the dyno HP might look good but it's not moving any weight at all. now add the sport package with larger and heavier brakes, larger and heavier wheels, we're talking about a lot of unsprung weight here, that's why ctc230ks dyno shows him at a much lower HP than the MB numbers.

...but his Torque peaked at 145, not 110. And it was at 7500 rpm, way off from MB's spec. I think ct's dyno is hardly representative of all C230s.

Ahh yes sorry, you are right, I was referring to his 110 torque at his HP peak....

Sheesh. All this moaning and groaning over 2 SLOW *** cars that weren't even designed to race. I've owned a few with my daily 2-liter diesel 1-series for crying out loud.

Bragging about a 4matic, we're the one laughing, the c230k barely beat a c240 4 matic with like, 80% drivetrain loss

Why, why, why are people arguing about the C-230 and 240? Way too much idle time on our hands fellas.
