Motor Trend's C55 1/4 Mile Results
The November '04 issue of MT gives a quick snapshot of the C55's performance #'s. Here's the break down of the mag I picked up today...
0-60mph: 4.9
1/4 mile: 13.2 @ 107.3
I'm happy with the 1/4 mile time!
I think the CLK55 AMG does 13.1 so not bad C55!!!
What's Hot:
"Killer powertrain"
"Outhandles some sports cars"
"Superb price/performance ratio"
What's Not:
"Steering heavy at low speeds"
"Electro-nannies still present"
"Cramped rear seating"

I gotta get that issue. The 0-60 time is pretty good. I somehow have a feeling with perfect conditions and a great driver the C55 is capabe of at least a 4.8sec 0-60 and a 13flat 1/4 mile.
