Can the IS 300 and the Mercedes C230 hang? I was driving down the street and I saw a C230 and it was some younger person like myself and he wanted to play but I was turning, anyways I was thinking which car is better overall? I thought I knew a lot about my IS when it comes down to it I do not know nearly as much as all of you do. So help me out
Which car is faster the IS 300 or C230 stock and moded?

honestly I dont know much about the c230 for stock to stock but when you said moded it can go anywhere your money wants it to.
But its comes down to wrhp, cars weight, driver etc etc but anywho give me 50g's to put into my IS and ill whoop up on a c230

umm..... the 230? the kompressor version? i hate to say but i never pay attention to that car. i think you can take him easy. the c320 is faster and it's still not very impressive
you have a much better car in every aspect imho

I hanged and was actually a little ahead of my friend's clk 430. That was when I only had an intake. With all the mods now, I think I can take him good. I got i/h/e, safc II, and hks cam gear.
Damn well the next time that I see that same guy maybe I should test my car. I just rather take it to the track but evryone here where I live likes to take it to the street. Thanks guys

the c230 is pretty weak according to my friend. since he has one, he keeps telling me that it's gutless when it takes off, but on the freeway, it's not bad. i'm used to driving a 6 so getting into a 4 feels totally different even if it's s/c or turbo, there's still some lag.

My SC tore a C320 apart so I figure your IS should do the same to a C230.

Those 2 cars shouldn't even be legal.
