Default Drivers race! c220 v.s. 323ci

So Im driving in my little sisters C class and some silly asian looking gentleman with drew carey glasses pulls up next to me in his bmw 323 ci. Using my critical thinking skills the car is obviously stick because he is rolling back on 86th street. He asked me if "I wanna go" so i told the kid yeah. As we waited at the red light he puts the car in 1st, the light changes to green and we are off! right away we are tied, I am already 1 car length ahead of him at 50. As we aproach 65 mph he starts to gain on me. I beat him to the next light hitting 70 and only beating him 1/2 car lengthes. It was truely a drivers race

I think we should shoot them both and put them out of our/their misery.

2 cars that should have absolutely no business racing whatsoever.


It's like, hey I bet my slow car can go slightly faster than your slow car. Wanna race?

don't hate on the w202 mercedes, my previous car was a modded C280. I loved that car and still miss it sometimes.

You're kidding, right? Have you ever driven a BMW before? A 3-series is much more enjoyable to drive than a C-class Merc.

BTW, not that it's all that important, but a 1995 C220 does not make more power than an E46 323i. The C220 has a 4-cylinder making 148-hp. The 323i has a 6-cylinder making 170-hp. Neither car is exceptionally fast, but a 3-series BMW will out handle any C-class and is much more fun to drive.

ive owned both cars fool, the 3 series is on rails, but there is less power then my sisters 1995 c220 with 114k miles. when you shift into first the car is so underpowered it feels like its going to stall out.
