On my way to the mall today, and I drew the attention of an EVO8. He kept wanting to play, but traffic simply wasn't allowing for a quick run. He liked to keep flyin by me a lot, but I wasn't gonna bite amidst the traffic we were in.

I know my place on the food chain, and it's not above an EVO8, but I would still give him a run for his money. Eventually we got a chance to go, and I downshifted and waited. I gave a little rev, and heard him downshift so I took off. Apparently after all his shifting and making a big deal to race, he wasn't actually ready for it. I got a jump on him for some reason, and pulled ahead for a bit. This was already starting from about 85mph. The jump I got on him put me 2 lengths ahead right away. He kept pulling, but we had to shut down about 110mph due to upcoming traffic. he never got past me, but I have no idea wtf he did when we started, so beats me.

Next up, I'm off the freeway headed toward the mall, and this little prick in a mercedes C230 kompressor is f**king with me, trying to get me to race. The dude looked all of 16 and had his 12 year old girlfriend in the car too. Not having room to run just yet, i was a car length behind him to his right going about 30mph. I dumped it to 1st gear and hammered it, taking a layer of paint off his door as I went by. His girlfriend suddenly had this "wtf was that" look on her face. lol. priceless.

He apparently was unconvinced and once we had the next light, I gave it a quick run. By 60 I had probably 2 buslengths on him (without launching). It was enough for me, but what I don't understand is why some parent would buy their kid this car, or buy this car. It's a sub $30,000 mercedes stripped of anything that is mercedes, other than the emblem and the headlights, and if you're looking for cheap luxury, you're far better off with a more powerful, faster acura, or a bmw 325Ci or 325Xi. All of the above having more features, being faster, and better styling IMO. to each their own, but it's still a turd hardly worth a 2nd look. It's just one of the several cars on my list that are like.... why the f would you even buy one of those when you can get much more for your money out of the low end luxury/sport market.</rant>

Now if there's something about the kompressor I'm missing, then feel free to explain.

C230 is absolutely a POS! Even an Acura TSX is a world better in terms of driving, handling, quality, realibility, etc. So, yes, you are right, a C230 is pretty much a POS.

C230 is like a BMW 318... people who couldn't afford a "real" MB or BMW, but are soooooo proud of their German engineering!

Screeeems Poseur!


Love the "paint off the doors" comment. LOL

Officer_down

Yeah, BMW 318!

But would you rather all the other 16 year olders say "look at him driving that acura" or "look at him driving that MB." It's all about the bling these days

well like i said, why not get the bmw then? more for the same amount of money basically

I would suspect maybe the evo suffered a little turbo lag but probably wasnt ready as well. From an 80 roll I put about 1/2 car length on one to 140. I pulled a couple cars on a girl driving one.

No everyone is looking for high HP cars..... if you do not care in Hp numbers why pay more for something that you need?

80% of the aftermarket parts are "cosmetic" things



BTW a BMW 320 with leather and roof is expensiver than a S2000
