not to bust ur chops but the numbers are basically the same, if not...0.1 difference. it says it in the manual.
as for the C280, it has 230hp but still doesnt feel as fast as my 320. even my brother gave up the thought of changing his c230k for that 280...maybe kuz we have a huge problem with the local mb dealer lol
but but but but...no matter what...get manual...I regret getting manual...after sitting in C230_05's coupe lol goddam...

It does make a difference, specially on the C240, the 0-60 was about a half second slower with the slush box. In some cars, like on my wife's Wrangler, the slush box is considerably faster because of the geating they chose to punish people with manual trans.
