C230 down =(
On the way home from work yesterday a new body style civic SI pulled up and starting messing around. I know stock they make the same amount of power as I do (a whopping 200 hp =/ lol) and are a good bit lighter than my 230, so I figured it would come down to the driver (I have a 6sp as well). It sounded a bit louder than stock, but I didn't think much of it, I have a cat back exhaust myself and it is in no way faster...
l figured why not.....I should have stopped while I was ahead. We were rolling at about 50 when we punched it.....he was gone. I then realized that whatever he was running.....was far from stock. He had about a car and a half lead on me by the time we hit 90, which is pretty much when I backed off.....I knew I had just had my *** handed to me.
I know im driving about the furthest down market benz there is, and it is by no means a fast or powerful car, but at the end of the day its still a looker.
Hate to be on the wrong side of a kill story, but at the end of the day it is a benz....not a rice burner.
