Cars Your C55 is faster than.
I know its late and I just waiting for the wash to stop so I can put my close in the dryer. I was looking at this site that has all sorts of 0-60 and 1/4 times for all kinds of cars....So I was just looking to see what other cars I'm faster than or tied with.

Those are just numbers...
I agree that most cars that are slower than ours but some are actually faster head to head. For e.g, I'm pretty sure a viper would rape our cars.
Cool infor though.. It always make me feel better to see the Ring time of C55 as well.

C32 versus C55?
2002 Mercedes-Benz C32 AMG 5.1 13.6
HMMM, by whose standard?? A lot of these seem low and where did the C55 times come from??? From what I've seen, the numbers for qtr miles times can be all over the board, varying by up to a second in the qtr and 3/4 of a sec in the 0-60?? Even the magazines can vary by .5 seconds in the 0-60 and 1/2 in the qtr. It depends on many factors, not the least of which is driver, conditions, both track and weather, tire pressures, fuel, wind, etc etc. I dont give much credence to these numbers above just like the "stock" times on the dragtimes.com for the IS 350
(which I have never been able to replicate at Great Lakes WI )

This is from Edmunds:
At the track, the C55 turned in slightly slower times than the C32 we tested a couple years ago. The raw numbers came in at 5.6 seconds for the 0-60 dash and 13.95 for the quarter. Still quick, but one would rightfully expect that the V8 would be a few tenths quicker, not slower. As we have stated before, there are many variables that come into play when testing a car for acceleration — the track surface, weather conditions (cool air is better than warm) and driver differences.
So there you have it, according to Edmunds, the C55 is SLOWER than the C32. Only real way to tell is to track them both at US 41..............................

i never go by what the magazine says, they are tested in optimal conditions by professional drivers, and sometimes even "corrected numbers". I'm used to cars being ALOT slower than advertized living in the high desert of new mexico, the density altitude is usually hanging around 6-8000' wich keeps even pulley/exhaust cobras in the 13's. i have the code 3 pulley/ intake, and k&n's on my c32 and am hoping for a 13.7

C55 AMG, 135i, 911 GT3, GLE43 AMG
To give you perspective, here are laptimes of cars that are in the same "class" as the C55 from previous Sport Auto Supertests around the Nurburgring (considered by most to be a very good indication of the OVERALL performance of a car....acceleration and handling). Remember that they have used the same pro driver for all of their Supertests, so the driver factor should not be much of an issue. In order from slowest to fastest:
W202 C43 AMG: 8:51
B5 S4: 8:42
W203 C32 AMG: 8:37
E36 M3: 8:35
B6 S4 Avant: 8:29
E92 335i: 8:26
B5 RS4 Avant: 8:25
W203 C55 AMG: 8:22
E46 M3: 8:22
B7 RS4: 8:09 (on R-compound tires, which could shave 5-10 seconds off the time on a long track like this)
E92 M3: 8:05 (also on R-compound tires)
W204 C63 AMG: **coming soon**

Its always funny to see the c32 guys jump on and pull an article that says 13.9 for a c55 or something. Dude, lets all be real here, a stock C55 vs stock C32, the C55 comes out slightly ahead.
That said, while some drivers can pull a 13.2 out of a stock c55, its probably not the "norm" or "average"

I read that stock the quarters on a C32 was 13.5 average
but as low as 13.2 average for the C55
At US41 I don't think a C32 or a C55 stock will be present...maybe one but not the other either way driver error could make it or break it for either car...
The best way is to run your car to get the best time personally
In comparison to a stock for stock a C55 should have a slight advantage while modded C32 to Stock C55 the advantage should be the C32 but evenly modded its a drivers race or the 55 has a slight advantage.

I'm expecting to add a 32 or 55 to my garage before the year is up.
I don't hang out on this board enough to make up my mind quite yet....but....which has the potential to be ultimately faster with the mods available to each respective model ??
By faster I mean , street conditions. 0-100 runs.
Also, had anyone here owned both ? apples and oranges ?
Thanks in advance.

On average times are hindered by drivers while some may do better other may do worse....one cannot assume that the cars rated numbers on 0-60 and quarters are easily done...practice makes perfect...

Add a S/C to a C55 and its in the 55s court. That fact alone to me says that the C55 will be more moddable then a C32 but at a cost....But the LET TT project for the C32 will help push the C32 on top in modding advantage.

Vehicle I drive: goes 'round the 'ring in 8:22
Uh huh?? How many times have you taken YOUR car to the RING???? I've done both Hockenheim and Nurburgring and I can see how the C32 would fare so poorly. The C55 is probably better handling, BUT I still maintain that the C32 stock versus a stock C55 is a faster vehicle (drag) and thats the real world that I live in. Except for occasional stint at the Auto Bahn Country Club, the real world USA for me is stoplight to stoplight and the occasional highway stretch worrying about getting a love letter from Uncle Sam.

[QUOTE=c32used;2826645]With your modds the better race would be AMG-Jerry or any other similiar modded car but I don't want to be a picture in your rearview mirror...

LOL, Vic I am dropping off the car in about two weeks to get the cams installed that should be fun after! I had forgot to mention it to you!! Btw modding this car is pretty expensive but the turnout is well worth it if done correctly.

Modding the 55 Engine
[ Add a S/C to a C55 and its in the 55s court. That fact alone to me says that the C55 will be more moddable then a C32 but at a cost....But the LET TT project for the C32 will help push the C32 on top in modding advantage.

Thats the very reason I have NOT modded the 2001 ML 55; Theres not much, save headers, intake and ECM that you can do on the cheap. For $600.00 you can get 40 RWP for the C32. I looked at the Kleeman S/C for the ML 55 but it is $15 K or more. Anyone know of a better source of SC for the ML 55???

Tell me more, tell me more!! On the ML forums, there's not been much modding done!! Shame, because in the wet slippery stuff, NOTHING will touch me off the dig, save for a 63 or SRT-8. I ran the truck at Great Lakes one time and it was actually a tad faster in the wet than dry due to so wheelspin being allowed taking off.
