So coming home from downtown today, I was turning left and had the flashing left turn signal. Oncoming lanes had a red and while i'm turning, this girl in this W202 C230 turns and nearly cuts me off. Two stop lights ahead I go into the right lane and glare at her, yuck. Light turns green and she punches it, and so did I slightly after her. After 3000RPM or so I pass her with ease. She must have gotten pissed off so while I go into the left lane she comes into the right and glares at me. LOL, at the light, same results (good lord was her engine NOISY!). She turns right at the next light. Never encountered a girl who drives like that!

I'm just wondering if she had a C230 Kompressor or not. She had the special edition wheels and a sort of flary rear bumper at the sides so I think it was a Kompressor.

Stiggs

you said "yuck", does that mean she wasn't hot?

Stiggs, speaking of hot, wasn't it you back about a month ago that promised to post pictures of his mum?? Can't seem to recall them... And maybe I'm not recalling correctly who posted that!

Shouldn't a 320 pretty easily beat a c230 anyways...with about 25 more hp? I'm not really sure what the curb weight is.

There's nothing hotter than a hot girl in a hot car. A lot of hot girls around here in 996 porches. Mmmhuh.

Oh wait...just reread it and it was a w202 not a 203. Gotcha not as good as a newer model.

I wait when people are agressive and risky for particular reason....oh well.

Tsk Tsk....Why the Benz on Benz crime? .....Nice kill anyway.

I was loaned a brand-new 2005 C230K sport.

Must admit I was jealous that the C got 4-piston front brakes, drilled rotors, 245 17" Pilot Primacy, and nice bodywork, all which I did not get on my CDI and the CDI was probably $20,000 - $25,000 more.

The C Handles GREAT, and has a "planted" feel at speed which is not found in many "small" cars.

But....that tiny little motor. Power per liter is great....as much as an E55 puts out per liter. The problem is there is only a 1.8 liter engine in a 3400 lb car. Add fuel, driver, air conditioning, and you are a slug.

Off the line is so gutless....it simply sucks. Sounds kind of sweet when the SC spools up, sounds fast, but speedometer says otherwise.

Starting in "C" mode......forget it.

I was so happy to get my CDI back. WAY easier on fuel, and feels like a mountain of torque stepping off the line compared to the C.

Now the C320 CDI V6 sport sedan (not imported)...that is a NASTY little beast according to press I have read. PLEASE mb facelift the C and sell it here with the new V6 CDI.

I got an 05 230K Sport as a loaner two weeks ago and I have to say that the exterior styling is excellent, but the interior sucks a big one. The shifter was the only thing I like about it. I twas kinda fun to drive, but I have to say I like my 202 way better. However, after driving it, I have to wonder how the 320 Sport drives!

Stiggs

You are probably confused. I'm the guy that asked for pics of his mom......I don't have any pics. I only do the asking.

Man, w202 c230K owns the new one.

a few weeks ago, my wife had to drive to irvine. on the way up, aguy pulls up to her in a truck and stays side by side with her. for a while, he just stares at her. then he proceeds to start mouthing incomprehensible words at her. she was doing her best not to pay attention to him, but he would no go away. when she was a young girl, she had a very bad experience on the freeway, and this guy was starting to freak her. i asked her what she did about it. she said "i gave it some gas". and what happened? " i kept going til i couldn't see him in my rearview mirror, i wanted to be sure i left him far behind" did you happen to see how fast you were going? "yes" and what was that? "120mph" good girl, good car!
