Over 5 seconds 0-60 ... these guys are seriously lame and seem to have zero ability to get any performance out of a vehicle. Almost _anyone_ can get virtually _any_ C43 model to do significantly better than these people are showing. If you look at the multitude of instrumented reports "out there," you'll quickly see that AMGs virtually always beat their 0-100/0-60 specs ... and, yes, that also applies to the C43 models.

TFL are the worst car reviewers. They make gtrs get 0-60 in 5 seconds. They review cars terribly

For everybody here complaining about the 0-60 times please remember their over a mile above sea level. You lose about 4% every 1000 ft so their losing at least 22% or so.

Yup, and the altitude equates to about 1 second of additional time to reach 60.

Then they should publish some density altitude numbers (ideally along with adjusted perfromance numbers) and make this visible.

Regardless, if you look at how they launch the vehicles, it's "less than optimal."

The main point is not what the flat number values are but how they perform relative to each other.
