'02 C230K vs. 330ci

me and a friend coming back from dinner in so cal yesterday, we got to a light and I wanted to see how this would end for me. He always told me after I drove his 330ci that he'd beat the crap out of me and i know it. Well now, i notion to him on this 3 lane road to go now now now. There is an SUV in-between us but when the light turns green we both take off. At launch I'm a good distance ahead maybe a car and a half! We keep going into 2nd, 3rd, keep climbin numbers quickly and he never caught up! I'm proud of my lil coupe cuz I lost respect in it after I lost to a modded VR6. My stock coupey can handle its own on thez streets and soon as i start puttin things on I'ma shoot for the big dogs and those who have violated me in the past.....they will feel my wrath. (btw after the launch we were dead even, no gain no loss from either of us) glad i have 6 speed

I know this guy who has a stage two GTI VR6, he is running low 13s, IMO for all the money he spent for that stage two and other stuff he should be running better numbers.

I'm surprised too. I've seen 4 races between 330s & C320, & the 330 has won all 4 times by varying distances. 330 magazine avg 1/4 mile times are about a full second faster than the C230 coupe (both manual, 14.7 s vs. 15.6 s).

I can't wait to see a good race but I don't think you will be able to have it this Saturday. It's supposed to rain and if it does, the Fest. I have heard will be moved to the following Saturday which is the 10th. Can you guys wait until then? That is the question...

my tires are as bald as........a bald cat. Point being me and 330 had a rematch......a few of them actually. From off the line, where I normally have advantage over every1......I have no advantage, I barely manage to stay even wit automatic cars. SHETTTT anyways we go at it again and again and again we'd go back and forth but it's nothing like it used 2 be. I wish I had unlimitted Zrated tires so I can have all my fun and not worry about losing my tires at 8000 miles (which is my current case) front and rear need to go according to americas tire co and my friendly service advisor .......... Nothing could suck more than having bald tires although I had fun in the rain while drivin my cousin and a few of his friends around. I didn't gain traction at all after startin the car off at 2000rpm. 3rd gear came alon and i had lost control so badly that I was in all 3 lanes of the road! which was a new experience from me. all i hear from the back is GO GO GO from the front i hear........NONONOOOOOOO (altough I played it off as if i knew what was going on and i planed everything)
ya thats just fyi.....ima go contact aliens with my super nintendo now.........aliens use UFO's and they dont have to worry about tire wear!

dang...man...mike...you and i are sure late to this thread....hahah

jerry's got stock other than H&R coilover, forge rims, sound system, and some spoilers from Lorinser.

btw, mike, you've already won. our C32 is no contest for the M-roady unless it's the S52. go find someone with a SLK32...i'm sure it'll be more interesting.

i don't know. all my friends that are looking for a car aint looking to get a roadster...don't know why...less practical i guess...lol

go check out BMW dealerships and see how much they are willing to give you trade-in. or just post up some ads in those free chinese weekly magazines you can get from outside of the 99 ranch market.
