car and driver, or someone tested the C320 in 6.6 second 0-60 mph versus 330i at 6.6, and X-type 3.0 at 6.5 seconds.

btw CLK does not come with a manual transmission, at least not in the states anyway.

the C320 sport they tested was a automatic. You just need to download the Data Panel (pdf file) to see.

the C320 will likely be faster because of the extra weight the CLK320 carries.

I think the number from the MB web site is the most accurate, because I got the same 0-60mph time in my C230K as the time MB stated.

2001 C320
320 o-60

The 2001 320 will get it done in the 6.8 to 7.0 range. They changed the rear end ratios in 2002 for better economy and less engine /road noise. This means the 2002 and 2003 320s are a few ticks slower. I raced my friend 2001 vs 2002 and pulled him 4+ car lengths to 60.
