2007 C350

Mercedes Benz claims a 0-60 time of 6.3 secs

Kind of confused, here.

Due to the fact Road & Track gets the following numbers.

2006 MB C350 0-60 5.7 secs 1/4 mile 14.2
2006 Bmw 330i 0-60 6.0 secs 1/4 mile 14.9
2006 Lexus IS350 0-60 6.0 secs 1/4 mile 14.2

I know Mercedes is pretty conservative with there numbers, but by that much?

BTW is the C350 quicker then the IS350 and 330i, also im aware that BMW just released the 335 so not a chance with that one.

Sorry for the newbie questions

1. They are conservative.
2. They do 0-100 km/hr a.k.a. 0-62

a quarter mile at a time
yeah that's a really slow time for the IS350. Maybe they had an underperforming car.
