Default Unknown Mercedes

Tonight on the way home I was playing with a car that appear to be a Mercedes, but could not tell what model it was. We did race some the thing that surprise me was how easily I was able to catch up to the car. I would think a Mercedes would have enough power to out right kill my car but it didn't. When ever it pulled away it took me about 15 or so seconds to catch up to the car and at times to even pass it up.

I was on the freeway when I was doing this and I did had the HOLD mode on as it seems I get a better torque response from it. I also was able to break my top speed of 120 as I was able to 125 MPH. The Mercedes was a coupe but besides that I could not make out anything thing to tell what model it was, besides that it looked like it was a 20xx model.

I am pretty sure it was a Mercedes due to the tail lights. I did some searching on this, and the only Mercedes that had the same tail lights that I saw was the C class coupe, which was discontinued in 2004. According to wikipedia it can be either of two models the C 160 or the C 180. The specs are as follows:

C 160
S4 cyl 1.8L 16v 120hp

C 180
S4 cyl 2.0L 16v 127hp
S4 cyl 1.8 16V K 141hp

I may be able to beat the K variant of the C 180, but I can easily take on the other two engines/cars with ease as I have roughly 135 or so hp from my mods.

Its an auto. I have the BMS CAI and a cat back on my car. As I mention before I pushed the HOLD button as it seems I get a better torque response from it.

I am pretty darn sure it was a coupe and the tail lights where very much like the 2000+ models. So unless the A and B class also have coupes, it was a C class one.
