CL600 2007-2010 0-60 times ???

I can't find any information on the web about 0-60 times of CL600. Official info states that it is 4.5 seconds. However, after reading the latest Car and Driver, which tested new CL550 (2011) - they were able to get 4.2 seconds on CL550. Now i am puzzled - how fast can CL600 accelerate to 60? Is it slower then V8 version???

The new CL is a very, very fast car with the new 4.6L twin turbo V8 but IIRC the 0-60 is 4.8-4.9? I guess I will have to go pick up the new c&d.

Car & Driver: 4.3s

Road & Track: 4.1s

The new CL550 is AWD, do it helps greatly with 0-60 acceleration. The CL550 also lighter and the new TT V8 is mated to a quick shifting 7 speed tranny (the CL600 has an old 5 speed auto).

TMC - thank you!!!

Looked at both sites previously and didn't find these stats. I used their site search functions.

4.2 - sounds good, but, looks like it needs a RennTech to be competitive

Competitive with what? A slow missile?
