Hi all,
i know the c300 isn’t particularly fast, but i love mine.
i love to floor it on the entance ramps, and passing cars on the highway.
Just curious, has anybody figured out what gear, or what speeds/rpms, or downshift techniques one can utilize to squeeze the most out of this fun little engine? Is our car(w205 c300 4m sport)faster at accelerating at a particular speed?...
Again, im aware this isn’t a really Fast car(although 270lbs torque is fun!!), i just wanna know how to max out this car when appropriate!!
When your ready to get on the highway from the entrance ramp, drop it into neutral, floor the gas till almost redline, then drop it into D.. takeoff is killer!
Well.. reminds me of advice from Forrest Gump... pull left paddle/hold 2.5-3sec - tranny will drop to "power gear" for that speed/condition - then hit the accelerator - 2.5/3sec pull on right paddle takes you back to D.

Do you know why these stock numbers are much lower than the w205 mbusa specs(stock)?
My c300 was supposed to have about 240 bhp and 270lbs torque, which is about the same as the Burger Stage 1...

Dyno numbers are normally at the wheel, MB rates engines at the crank. Cars normally lose around 15% to the wheel. You should look at the power difference not the number
Why buy a family sedan and then try to hot-rod it into being something it is not! If you want a hot car, buy a hot car. The most common fatal last words are "Hey, fellas, watch this!" Closely related, the second most common fatal last words are "Let's see what this baby'll do!"

i have a c43... the above works for me.. if you don’t like it don’t do it.. if I break my car then I just get rid of it and buy something else.. It’s the hardest launch I can get that way.. so quiet down

Being a funny troll is funny. But being a douchey troll is, well, douchey. Take a guess as to which one you are...
And we know that you don't actually do this considering that not only will the car's 'dummy-proof' protocols not let the car go into gear if you were to attempt this, but the engine is limited to 4,000RPMs when in Neutral or Park.
Remember, you may think you're being "funny" but there are ignorant enough people to do these types of things based on some comment made by idiots like you. So you might be safe on this one, but I'm sure this won't always be the case if you keep this BS up.
