C43 C205
Independent 0-60mph or 0-100kmh times C43 and C63

Has anyone taken their cars (43 or 63) to a drag strip or tested the 0-60/0-0100 times? Would be interested to see if the factory 4.6/4.7s and 4.1/4.2s times are accurate

yeah then you're talking about the C43. you had it written as "cars (43 or 63)". there's clearly a huge difference you know anyway I didn't take it, however a friend took his and he made a quarter mile in 11.7 seconds IIRC.

I've seen the c450 measure as low as 4.5 from magazine publishings.

The gearing on the 43 is supposed to be better, so I would imagine slightly better.

MB reported times are always conservative to represent more of the worst case scenario.
