1) The North American Car and Driver magazine tested the C350 with a 6 speed manual transmission in Nov 2005 issue. 0-60mph in 5.5 seconds. 1/4 mile in 14.2 seconds. Don't worry, your C55 still blows a C350 away in terms of straightline speed.

2) No, I don't own a C350.

no need to worry because the average driver probably cannot achieve the 5.5 seconds time that the test driver from Car & Driver got. He has got to be a pretty good driver and your chances of running into a C350 with manual transmission are slim (as manual C350s are not that common) and your chances of running into a c350 with manual transmission driven by a pretty good driver are even slimmer. Beside, MBUSA says your C55 can reach 60 mph in 4.9 seconds
