Got taken down!!
I got schooled today by a S2000 in the C240 loaner car. I thought I had the upper hand when I pulled on him and then I heard the whinning of his turbo spooling and I knew it was all over.

That's probably the only C240 that's ever been in a race. 
I've been picking on C230's just to get an idea how much of a distance I can pull on them with the Buick, but nobody wants to race. I once got my sis to race me when I was driving the Jeep, but after losing even to that she doesn't want to race anymore.

oooops, the loaner is actually a 2006 C280 with six speed auto stick.... I think it had a chance against a regular S2000 if i'd just up shift and redline the crap out of it. Now a different story if I was in my baby...

I'm not gonna bash the C240, but I've driven one, and its safe to say many, if not most cars can take it on the road. It's probably just as fast as the Chevy Tahoe or something.
