Just smoked a BENZ C 230 in my brand new 2k2!!!!!!!!!!!****

I just raced my friends '02 benz c 230 or 240 i forget which one it is, anyways I wrecked him, yes it it automatic, but its still a big engine, with enough torque, i recked it off the line and all the way up to about 65-70 mph which is about 110/120 kmh....
not bad at all IMO
just thought id let ya all know, by the way my car is almost 2 weeks old and i have 1600 kilometers on it already, and its still bone stock si (ex in states)

Maybe your friend didn't know you were racing.

A Benz should've handed your ***.

C230-Inline 4 Supercharged 192hp, 200lb-ft@2500rpm
C240-2.6L V6 (not a typo, C240 has a 2600cc motor) 168hp, 177lb-ft@4700rpm

And they have 5 speed auto so the gearing aren't as bad. German slushbox doesn't rob as much power as Japanese ones. They weight quite a bit more than your Civic but still they can all run 0-100km/h in under 9 seconds.

If you have a stick Si you ~might~ tie the C240.

I'd have to say that your friend probably didn't know that you were racing. My parents have several of the newer Mercedes and while none of them are C classes, they're probably some of the fastest cars I've ever driven (aside from my patrol car).

there is no way a c230 coupe would lose to a civic, but the c230 sedan might... i don't think the sedan c230 is supercharged

guys, remember that horsepower specs aren't the only thing that matters when it comes to racing. there are so many other variables that i don't have to tell you about. the biggest one is probably driver skill (when power is reasonably matched).

I really don't know much about the C class... I've driven a E320, an older S600 and the new S55... they're all VERY well-made machines. I don't think the "baby" benz would be any different. I don't know how you beat your friend, but I can't say you didn't.

He was a BAD DRIVER. That car could smoke you, me and everybody else who owns a 7thgen. I have driven the car, it is supercharged, and while it is not the fastest thing on the road, it is AlOT faster than what we are driving.

End of story.

When you own something, everything else is ugly, unless of course your daddy bought it for you.

Veloz you can stop crying now.

It probably happened but because of one of two things: your friend can't drive or that car wasn't up to good mechanical condition. Either way that car would beat you.

The K20A2 isnt gods gift either. In the Type S its still a mid 15 engine/car.

A hatch with a decently powered B series could beat it.

ok, this is so annoying, I am not lieing!
Thats it this weekend i am going to get a video camera and make sure you all see it...he has a c 240, sedan which is automatic, so how can he be a bad driver? ITS AUTOMATIC, i had 2 people in my car and so did he, dont forget that that car is pretty heavy, it is a benz after all!
I encourage all of you find one on the road and race it...you will see that you can take it! and if you don't ur civic is a LEMON!
i smoked him, like 2 car lengths, this weekend i will make a video of it....so watch this thread!

I just don't understand how a Honda Civic could take a Mercedes. I often borrow an '01 E320 that my parents have and the difference between it and my Civic is night and day.
