C230's 190HP has been Smacked Down
Well, some guy in his brand new C230 mini-van thought he was the ****. It had cloth interior, but tinted windows and chrome rims. This was funny. He kept on coming up to me and driving to my side and staying even with me.
We were both doing 80, and I would speed up and hit 100, and he would be all the way back there. I let him catch up to me like 5 times, before I just let him have me. Once he got about 3 cars in front of me, I just hit the gas and zoom zoomed right by him.
The look on his face when he got passed me must have been great. Not so much after I killed him.
Lesson to learn: Do not race a C230Coupe unless it's against a Ricer.

toog4me: correct me if i'm wrong, but don't you have a clk320? Can that actually compete with an S55 on highway speeds?
this is no assault on your integrity, just a question. i know the weight difference is significant, but an AMG versus a clk320... hmm.... i'd like to know....

You are right, but i was not talking about the CLK. The clk would go down into history against an AMG.. I was talking about my GS430. It is pretty close to the S55, and can beat the old C43s???...

Of coarse my GS would win against your C. Of coarse your dads SS will win against my GS. That's abviouse. And if you read correctly, I did not start the race, he did. So before you go on about how I'm braggin, remember I did not start the race, and remember what forum we are in!

But that was what it sounded like when you posted about the GS vs the coupe. I know you didnt start the race with him, it just sounded weird . I was only kidding about racing the Chevelle. There not even similar cars. I know the GS would KILL the coupe, big deal, but you gave that guy what was coming to him. Nice kill

I don't care if you're racing a CLKGTR vs. a Go-Ped, it's still fun.

Accord-
Agreed.
Timmy-
I see your point. Taken, considered. I did not mean to brag. I just dont like when people try and race me thinking they can win when they really have no chance, but think they can... do they think my car is not as fast as I know it is?
Agreed.

Toog4me:
I'm not to sure how the C43/GS430 matchup goes. They are within the same ballpark in the number aspect. I guess next time I find one I'll see. Do the same if you ever run with a C43.
