Nonetheless.. they are pretty slow. But I like to think it's just so people have more time to appreciate how damn good they look.

2006 C230
Are y'all really gonna hate on Benz like that?
I googled it for about an hour and found a site that said 16.1?
This sounds about right?
And the car is NOT that slow. I have driven a souped up EVO and then drove my Benz and I will say the EVO is 10X faster however the C230 gets up and goes when you know how to handle it.
Last week I was driving down a local highway (60MPH), came next to a newer 350Z, yes I did get my rear end handed to me but the C230 isnt really a performance car. This isnt the C32 or C55 AMG. I was just looking to compare this vehicle to a 2007 Scion TC stock. No, im not looking into buying it, just wanna know that my C230 can kick the crap out of my girlfriends ex. I know it can (providing its stock), just wanna know by how much.

350z = never tried not looking to find out, LOL.
But then again i drive a coupe with a I4 2.3 s/c, not a sedan with a 2.5 6 banger. You should be able to beat a Scion Tc with no problems.

In a 1/4 mile on a dragstrip, a 60ft time is not a 0 to 60 mph time.
So...1/4 time is one thing and a 0-60mph time is another thing
Each is predicated on a proper launch technique and requires some przctice to really get a realistic time. I use to drag my Pontiac Grand Prix down to a 14.8 sec 1/4 mile after about a year of practice at the track. I haven't taken my C230 to the drag strip, only to the road courses..which are more fun in my opinion.
