So I was supposed to go to Dallas last night to go racing with a buddy from Oklahoma who has a KB SC Cobra, but he called me around noon and said he wasn't comming because his girlfriend was sick. Well, that sucked, so I called up another buddy, and we went to go see the 11pm showing of Wedding Crashers, which rocked hardcore.

Anyways, afterwards, I decided to follow my freind and take the scenic route home. We were about to go from a 40mph roll, when I saw a set of headlights comming up behind us. So I dropped into the far right lane (3lane highway), and my freind stayed far left, and a Sentra SE-R (I never saw the badge, but my friend said he saw it) pulled in between us. He had an exhaust (sounded way to good for a fart can), and maybe an intake, and as he nosed past me, I guned it and put about a length on him, to let him know I'm game.

He bites and then takes off to get next to me. I nod to him, and he punches it first, and I jump on it when my nose was at his rear door. I pulled on him slowly from 40, and by 95, had about a carlength on him, and let off. He pulled up again, and this time, we both punched it at the same time, and I put about two lengths on him, and shut down. He pulled in behind me, and I pulled into the center lane, and we gave each other the thumbs up before he turned off.

Next three or four races were against my buddy in the Lexus ES300, all kills except for one. We did two from a dig, and on the first one, my reaction was so shit, he put a car length on me before I even started rolling. Next time though, I got a good reaction, did a very light power brake (just took it up to 2krpm), and smoked him off the line.

Now, it seems that we have a number of people talking about soon to come races. Well, I finally have one you'll all be able to bet on. A freind of mine just got a Mercedes Benz C240 Kompressor. Four door sedan. Anyways, he has always been a Mercedes guy, and meself a Bimmer guy, so we have decided to pit the low ends up against each other, and see who will rise victorous. So, place your bets!

Also, pictures my baby comming very soon, possibly tonight.

Nice races.

I'm a bimmer guy too, I hope you rape him and then some....but in reality, I think you'll have him by around 1 car length.

You mean C230 kompressor? You should beat him, but barely.

I just assumed you american always had to have the version with the bigger displacement:p

So please clarify, is it a C230 K or a C240??

are you sure it is the c240, cause i always thought it was the c230 that had the kompressor. There normally shouldn't be a c240 kompressor, just c240.

"Three engines see duty in the C-Class lineup. The C230 has a 189-horsepower, 1.8-liter supercharged inline four. The C240 has not a 2.4, but a 2.6-liter V6 with 168 hp. And the C320 employs a 3.2-liter V6 good for 215 hp" :wink:

"edit", oops i now read the 2 other posts, lol.

I bet $50 that the race will never happen at all :biggrin:. And $30 that we don't see any pictures of your car Cassie.

:grinno: J/K.

What year was the SE-R by chance?

It was the newer body style. I'm not calling it an SE-R, I never saw the badge, my buddy just claims he saw one. I wasn't looking at the doors/fenders for one, just watching to make sure I didn't hit anything.

Also, Civ, heres the pics. Kinda...just ignore the link to where they are registered...it has nothing to do whatsoever with what my next car might be if I'm 100% unable to get an ///M3...ignore it I tell you!

The hint I got was that you are a geeky stoner. :biggrin:

Yeah sorry to stereotype speedthrill but I saw stoner written all over you...but no geek

yeah you should be able to take out a C230 Kompressor, they are not very fast, a lil to supple ride for a racer

and nice job on the kills

LOL :grinno:

Is it the long hair that did it, or is it because i told you guys i do it SOMETIMES!

Just to clear my stereotype a bit. :p

PS: just for the record: One third of the youth and young adults actually does it now in Western europe. It's not like they are all "stoners" like you call them. I say them because me i just do it more on occasions. Like the moment the pics were taken by my girl, that was a nice occasion. Remember the scene in "eyes wide shut". It was like that, only without the fight. :biggrin:

Nice, but id like to see a good daylight overview of the car, but that'll do...

and tell me, how is it you can come to afford paying for a bimmer while ur at school? I can barley afford rent...but then again I should prob stop spending rent money on beer...

and Gti, so thats how a VR6 is so unique...the cylinder angles are very small, so its almost an Inline 6

I don't need to pay for school, got basically a full scholarship, and I live at home=no rent. Yeah, I'll try to get some daylight shots, but I was feeling artsy that night, lol. I'm also not paying for 100% of it.
