C300...you have been CHOPPED and SCREWED !!!!
So well was coming back with my girl from her school....Usually I just cruise at around 70mph.....In my rear view mirror I see MB C300 guy trying to intimidate a Porsche Boxster S....
He was tailgating his ass and wont let off.....the Porsche guy is prolly thinking WTF
I decided to pull in and burn him once and for all.....we were at 80MPH.....and side by side.....
Dropped the baby to 3rd and VTEC roared all over his ass....by the time we hit 120 mph, he was an easy 8-10 car lengths back.....surprisingly I have never seen my car go from 80 - 120 so quick....or that he was just surprisingly SLOW.....
So yeah its confirmed....C300 you can BURN!!! C350 will be a close call I guess....

I drove the C300 at an MB event and a non-Si Civic could take it. 
The C350 however, is the one that would make it interesting.

I drove a effin E350 and damn shit was slow..... I doubt if a non-Si Civic would take out a C300....i think a Si Civic would....my girl has a 06 Civic Ex and damn it takes ages to go from 80-100.....115 topped off on a downhill....

^^^ I never said the VTEC was a BIGG DEAL.....but when you shift the car from 5th to 3th at 80mph....and the rpm jumps from 2.5 to 5K....the engine roars....plus not to mention the CAI..... and there it WOT obviously.....
specially all this when you are running alongside a MB luxury sedan which doesnt make any sound (i wouldnt refer to engine or exhaust sound as noise ).....thats all I tried to say....
and about a boosted car....yes I have driven quite a few and the way they pull is amazing....but yeah am pretty happy with what I have and prolly will be till I grow over it..... <-- not happening anytime soon

but then you have a CAI....pretty much 5-7HP at the wheels....and you are ~200 pounds lighter....
so the HP are pretty matched up and you are lighter....and since you won....guess you are a good driver

C300/C350's are sedans....dont get confused with these coupes:
CLK350 (same engine as C350 but light and hence quick)
CLK550 (v8
)....CL550 (v8
)CL600 (v12
)on the way back from last years KC meet, I was messing around with a CLS63 AMG (6.3L V8 507@6800 rpm)....started from 70 and raced upto 130....i mean i was 130, he was way past it, he had like around 20 car lengths on me
so dont get confused between models LOL....

This is what I say for C-classes:
Unless you're AMG, you're wasting my gas. If you ARE AMG, I'm wasting yours.
~Cheers~
P.S. I did lose to a C350 once, though, with 5 people in my car and luggage vs. him driving solo. Oh, well, you win some you lose some.
