w203 c230k vs. w202 C230k
Hey guy's, I have a 1999 C230k with an upsolute chip.
So the other night, i was coming back from the SD Fair on I-15 when i see some really nice bi xenons coming up at me really fast, it passes me and I see that it's a new c230k sport with no plates. I was already going about 75 mph when he passed me, i have no idea how fast he was going. But i mashed the pedal and followed, I think he saw he so he floored it even harder as well. at 90 i was a little bit behind him, at 95 I was even with him and at 110, I passed him by a whole car length and continued pulling. I flashed my hazards and slowed down. He slowed down too and flashed his hazards as well. It was nice little race, i was always curious how the old c230k performed against the new.

probably it would be even if it was just a stock w202 c230k, but since my car was chipped, most likely it had a bigger advantage.

Good kill. 
I had a 98 C230K and that car was much faster than the 328's of that time. People really underestimate the car. I have driven in one of the newer models (1.8) and it didn't feel that fast. I think even w/out mods you would have beaten him as well.
