We looked at a harley f-150 for my dad as a company car it had the supercharger and the whining was so loud it was annoying and my dad said he wouldnt be able to stand it as daily driver.

I've owed several motorcycles in the past and you must follow a strict BREAK-IN procedure.

So trust me on a car after 1000 miles the engine has pretty much settled (broken-in).

Of course with additional mileage the engine tends to smooth-out even further.

Just my 2 cents

C320 Coupe
According to the Europian web site, the C230 max's out at 149 and the C320 max's out at 154.However, I believe they use different rear gearing as they are much slower 0-62 than the US models are 0-60.

I've read C230 sports have 3.46 rear axles, where some C230 non-sport coupes have 3.27 axles. My C320 with C7 has a 3.27 axle.

The C320 6sp with 3.27 axle max's are 1st - 31mhp, 2nd - 53 mph, 3rd - 85 mph, 4th,
