How fast would it be????

a C32 with the supercharged amg v8. I have seen times as fast as 4.4 seconds to 60 and that was in a freaking s class. So what do u guys think, how fast would the C32 be in 1/4 mile and 0 to 60?

My guess:

0 to 60: I think with the proper launch (little wheel spin) it would probably do 4 seconds flat, perhaps even high 3's.

1/4: Again with the proper launch i would say right around 12 seconds flat, maybe even high 11's.

Don't get your hopes up ...

A C32 is touchy to launch already.Adding more nose-weight and torque will not help things.Keep in mind that an S class also has a longer wheelbase,which helps at the dragstrip.I don't think the C32/V8 ET would be a whole lot better,but your trap speed would be way up there.

I'd say it would probably be slightly slower from stand still. It's hard to keep the rear tire not spinning already. The best a C32 ran is 4.77 and 13.2 1/4mile (motor trend).

I would "Venture" to guess based on pertiant varibles, the high 12's in 1/4 mile. Also the person driving is an important factor

how much more does the v8 komp weigh then the v6 komp?

I think with some practice this car should be capable of some crazy performance, even with the extra weight.
