correct me if im wrong but arent the c230's 4 bangers? i thought mercedes did their engines like lexus: 200 are 4 bangers, 300 are V6, and 400 are V8.

mercedes are very heavy cars with wonderful engines, and amazing traction control nannies.

id put my money on you with an auto and if your 5spd id be extremely confident

if your not going to the track, try to be somewhat intelligent about where you go to run.

Well it depends on if your racing from a set speed or from 0. I played with on the highway and he floored it and I was behind him. I couldn't pull on him being that I don't have my mods on (VI and Y). If I had that stuff on the car I would have smoked him. The C class had an SC also.

ya that C230 is supercharged. But all Benz's are heavy! overall superior build, but not meant to be fast, least not a lot of them

The C230 is a nice little car, and is indeed blown. Should run in the mid-high 15's, so they are quicker than most ppl think. Don't sleep at the light next to any car that is in the 15's.
