Clowned a C230 Kompressor tonight (funny schitt)
On way home, waiting at light and this red egg-shaped CLK230 Hatchback pulls up and starts throwing revs. It's a CHICK! (ok not a chick, a large hen).
So it goes green and she either SIDESTEPS THE CLUTCH or nuetral drops it, chirped a little. I 'bout couldn't contain myself from laughing but I did manage to throw the coals on the diesel and hand her *** to her.
She was kinda big, maybe weight played a factor. At the next light she rolled down her window and asked if my car was a diesel. MmmmHmmmmm.
She was big enough to burn diesel. So off goes the little C listing to Port, and I too go about my merry way home.
I don't know how many horses a C230K has, maybe 177 or so. In her case, her car had 178

Its not the horsepower where you have her, its the torque. CDI HP is very lackluster (lower than the regular 320), but as with most diesels the torque more than compensates from a standing start.

2005 Carlsson CD32 E320 CDI Inline-6
My CDI is 240 HP 425 lb/ft torque
Courtesy of Carlsson.
There is much more potential in the CDI engine, 500 lb/ft doesn't require any hardware just software. Diesels can make SKOOKUM power; most people don't realize it and if you tell a non-believer they are still a non-believer until they see it for themselves.
Even before the upgrade, CDI blows a C230 out of the water. I once borrowed a 2005 C230 as a service loaner. A CDI doesn't just beat a 230 off the line, it owns a 230 at any speed.
And its got legs....the 230 loaner needed gas like every 300 miles. I have strectched my CDI 800 unrefueled miles on a trip last summer.
I must admit, though, the sport package C has much better brakes and tires than the E320, lots of value in the C especially the new C350.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think a C230 doesn't even have 200 lb/ft of torque, and still weighs 3450 lbs. That's A LOT of weight for a 1.8 liter. The CDI weighs 3800 or so, only 10% more weight than a C230, and in my circumstance, 235% as much torque.
BTW its a typo in my original post where I wrote CLK230 I meant C230.

Yeh, if you ran into a CLK230 in VA, it would be a rare sighting indeed since they arent sold in the US.
