for C240 the 0-60 mph time is 8.2 for the manual and 8.7 for the automatic. i'm not sure about the 1/4 mile times. Mine does 0-60 mph in 4.9 sec and 1/4 mile in 13.5 sec.
i'm still jealous of you though...
can i trade my car with your girlfriend....

Its hard to compare 0-60 times from the various magazines since some wind it up and others just let it accelerate gradually. If you really want to compare check the offical numbers that MB publishes in their brochures.

The numbers that MB reports are generally much higher than what magazines report.

C 240 sedan performance
Car and Driver tested one (6 speed manual) in January 2001:
0-60 MPH: 8.8 s
0-100 MPH: 23.8 s
0-120 MPH: 38.0 s
s.s. 1.4 mile: 16.7 s @ 85 MPH
Top speed: 143 MPH (so much for the speed limiter, eh?)
23.0 MPG US overall
It's no rocket sled but it's fast enough to drive very quickly indeed.
The manual C 230 K is about a second quicker than the C 240 in the 0-60 and 1/4 mile run.
0-60 MPH: 8.8 s
0-100 MPH: 23.8 s
0-120 MPH: 38.0 s
s.s. 1.4 mile: 16.7 s @ 85 MPH

BCC, don't forget about your C43 . That certainly is fast.

What's bizzare in car-stats.com is that the C230 is quicker in the 1/4 mile than the C320. I've driven both and the C320 feels quicker to me, even with the automatic.

'02 C230 K
I agree, that is wierd. I have seen magazine published 1/4 mile times for the c320 for @ 15.1. The C230 sportecoupe numbers however look accruate. My best stock run was 15.77 @ 89mph.
