my first play
so I got my c43 one week ago now. put it into the shop to have all the fluids drain, new filters, new rear brakes. went to a car meet with my mechanic/friend today. He was driving his friends e36 with pretty much ever available bolt on option. The car was nose and nose with him from a dead start to about 80 or so when we let off. I was very impressed by the power and pick up from my little bone stock c43. Cant wait to mod the **** out of it.

the m wad heavily modded with every bolt on possible. cams, headers, exhaust, chip. blah blah blah....
my car was in W mode. Have to try it in S. Still getting used to all the buttons and learning what everything it.
Either way it was fun and I am pretty impressed with the car. When I was buying the c43 I was also looking at buying an E36. Those were my 2 choices, glad I went with the benz.

Seriously, I am willing to go and play with whatever. Just needs to be a safe place and somewhere where there are no cops. I can bring some friends with there cars too. Lets set something up. I am always very curious to see what my cars potential is.

How about Fri 8:30pm same spot at the Starbucks lot. If you dont write back I assume your not going to show. SLK55 is too fast. I want the c43! I just ran a 14.0@99.3, 0-60 5.5sec today in 77F 66humidity! Its sticky out. My beltimer is very close to real world drag strip times.

Alright maybe Sat night same time and place. They say its 268hp. But doesnt seem like it. Its bone stock to the filter. Maybe its the 3inch exhaust pipe!
