RE: Hyundai vs. Mercedes C230
Here in Houston we have a place called Rankin Road and its where all the 3AM street racing is done, I can tell you from experience (watching) some folks can drive and some cant. Ive seen the whole spektrum of craziness. Girls in Miatas beating Vettes to Toyota 4Runners Beating Mustangs you just never can tell. Although this does kinda sound like "Star in a reasonably priced car" takes on the Stig.

RE: Hyundai vs. Mercedes C230
kinda all comes down to how much money you wana spend on the motor! 
as for me a nice shot of NOS with a Procharger!!
like to see 550WHP+ and that would be plenty for me in my 540i

Wait did you remove it or it didn't come with A/C?
I didn't know you can buy cars without A/C since the 80's if not earlier

LOL, well my Hyundai doesn't have A/C. So no added weight from a compressor

I removed the compressor from my chevy(A-6 i believe) and I'm going to remove that heavy condenser.

I was too But this Losi I've been obsessed with is a fine replacement!
It's still an Accent, Jr. You could give me a brand new one and I would sell it and buy a used Benz haha Hell, my main transportation is a beat up, 170k mile Ranger 5-spd, and I would still take that over the new Accent. At least I'd still have enough torque to haul more than bread, eggs and milk. There's an idea! HEY GUIS!!!! THINK MY RANGER WILL BEAT A RAPTOR??? It has more powerz then me but yo mine is sooo much lighter!!!!lulz!!!

I'm 22 thank you. I'm far from the teens these days that want to drop everything and turbo it. God forbid someone does something to their car though, cause if you do, you're a child. And by the way, IFI did win, doesn't matter if it was a Benz or a Bentley...it got beat by an effin Accent.

RE: Hyundai vs. Mercedes C230
Drag strips are always fun no matter what car you show up with. Honestly might as well take your co-worker too the more the merrier and it's very safe. Definitely recommend LB's suggestion!

RE: Hyundai vs. Mercedes C230
When I went with my old company's quarter mile club to the strip.. one of the guy showed up and he had both the fastest and the lowest time of the day..
He showed up with a trailer home / RV and brought his Kawasaki ZX-11 in it.. he ran down the strip in the RV (yeah, LOL) in like 28 or 30 seconds (forgot), and then rip down in the ZX-11 in like 10.. hee!

I've been wanting to take the Hyundai to the drag strip for a while. We have one called Skyview Drags by me. Not sure exactly where it's at though. Everytime I mention it, the wife tells me I need to get a life lol.

When you do bracket racing, you are running against your own dialed time.. so it benefits the car/driver combo that's more consistent...
Maybe you guys don't have that at UK?

Yes the Hyundai has too much body roll to race around corners. I took a wide right turn one day doing 40 mph. tires were screeching like a howling monkey, but it stayed planted with a lot of body roll lol.
