Got a new car - SRT Forums

Yup... finally got a new car.

And it's boosted.

Too bad it's slow.

2004 Mercedes C230. 1.8L supercharged RWD. It's not fast, but it has pretty smooth power and it's fun to drive. Got a good deal on it too. I figured it's a good practical car for me to have for a few years. I seriously considered an SRT-4 until I saw what my insurance would be

Anyways, it's fun to drive. Now I should be able to attend some meets.

Oh, and while I was getting the car Carmelo Anthony came in and picked up a Maybach 57.

pepsi21463 · 05-13-2007, 04:16 PM

Yeah, I still have the DSM.

The car was $24,900.

Thats a pretty pimp car! did you buy it at glauser mercedes? there's an aston martin v8 vantage there.. it looks sooo hot.

pepsi21463 · 05-13-2007, 11:04 PM

Yeah, thats where I got it, they have great service. I looked at the C320 with 4matic, but I opted for the 230 because it had a supercharger and RWD. I figured with some small mods it would be more enjoyable to drive.

Heres some pics:

Damn Pepsi ! That's a lot of car right there !

dommo_g · 05-16-2007, 01:36 PM

Damn...I shoulda bought that instead of my Mazda and saved 2 grand.

I know this is late, but have you looked into how much performance modifications cost for that car? I was looking at a crossfire (since they were 12 grand off sticker) which is essentially a 320 and they are hella-expensive due to it being a benz.

if you're going for a crossfire, go for the srt6. call it a day

**firegryphon** · 07-11-2007, 06:06 PM

Well I suppose I would have but for 2 problems:

1) I would have to slit my own wrists if I were drive an automatic again.
2) They didn't have any in stock.

However, a Kleeman supercharger is as good or better than the AMG variant that comes on the SRT-6.

cybr · 07-12-2007, 03:55 PM

I agree... Kleeman rocks.

Aren't they from Colo?

**firegryphon** · 07-13-2007, 10:41 AM

Actually they are from Denmark, but US operations are based out of the springs. In fact they drive up and test customer cars (upon customer request) up at Bandimere during test-n-tune.
