W203 C55 1/4 mile times

What are some of the 1/4 mile times posted by some of your W203 C55's?I noticed that there are several modded C32's that have run mid to high 12's.And finally does anyone care to list their launch techniques?

There aren't too many C55's around yet. Give it time.

Best published 1/4 mile is 13.2 @ 107.3 in Motortrend.

Best published trap speed is 13.3 @ 108 in Car and Driver.

(this is as far as I know)

thats modded!!

people always come up to me in there Mustangs while im in the SL and say how there car can kick my cars *** and how much cheaper theres is,.....and all i hear i screaming of a SC/TC engine,.
abvoulsy a forced induction Ford V6 pushing 390hp will take my NA 5Klb V8 any day.
i think to be even, we should judge the cars in there stock position, stock to stock, or modded to modded.

my input-

Those are C55 times on street tires with street pressures. That's how these magazines test. The same magazines get 13.5's for a stock C32. Just a change to drag radials will most likely drop a 13.2 car to a 12.9 car.

I would dare to say that the C55's are quicker than some of the 13.01 second W210 E55's I've seen posted on here.I'm shooting for low 13's high 12's in mine.
