Muh buddies 1997 Honduh wood smoke it....yeeeeeee haaaaaw!
Awesome car. I just want to be the first one to talk about my "buddy's car" that is most certainly faster than yours even if it is a bucket of bolts covered in rust.

Dynamic engine mounts per MB option description,
Computer-controlled dynamic engine mounts further elevate performance. They're filled with magnetorheological fluid that can be stiffened progressively via electrical current. By individually optimizing their support, they can maximize handling precision in extreme driving, yet deliver smooth refinement in normal driving.
Driver 2,
That's excellent performance numbers.
I notice that your build included the DEM option,
question, do you think that even thought you were in a quarter mile (straight line) event, the DEM helped with the time?
Thanks for sharing,

Impressive times what do you get for 0-60?
And was you in Race mode or Sports+ mode?
I am planning to order the CLE 53 Premium Plus in April but debating whether to get the AMG Pro performance option as it comes with race mode and bucket seats.
But you can't get the bucket seats with the massage option in the UK.
If you was in race mode how does it compare to Sports+ mode?

Yes, it is possible to estimate the 0-60 mph time using drag strip data, though it won't be exact. Typically, to get an accurate 0-60 mph time, data from a full speedometer or an accelerometer is required, but we can make an educated guess using known intervals like the 330-foot or 1/8-mile times.
One way to estimate the 0-60 mph time is by looking at the 330-foot time. Most cars reach 60 mph (96.56 km/h) at some point between the 60-foot and 330-foot marks. By comparing this interval with known data, we can estimate the 0-60 mph time.
For a car that completes the 1/4 mile in around 12 seconds, the 0-60 mph time is typically in the 3.5 to 4.2 second range. Given that the car's 330-foot time is 4.957 seconds, it likely reaches 60 mph before this mark. Based on this data and the trap speed, the car's 0-60 mph time can be estimated to be approximately:
0-60 mph time: 3.8 to 4.1 seconds
This is a rough estimate and could vary based on the car’s launch and traction. For a more precise calculation, more data points (like the 60-foot time) would be required.

I am planning to order the CLE 53 Premium Plus in April but debating whether to get the AMG Pro performance option as it comes with race mode and bucket seats.
But you can't get the bucket seats with the massage option in the UK.
If you was in race mode how does it compare to Sports+ mode?

I'm also wondering if the stated overboost was available during the run. I suspect that it was given the performance but I didn't have a chance to check the Engine Data...going 112mph kept me focused on the track.

The QM ET is quite good but not impressed with the 112mph trap speed, would have expected something above 115 mph considering a 12 sec ET, this might mean power starts to wane pretty quickly
CD was only able to achieve a 0-60 of 4.1 QM ET 12.5 at 111mph - meh

As far as CD's results, the weather etc. would be factors and, I do have Race Mode and apparently 12 seconds of extra hp + tq boost from the electric motor.

I just ran a simple on-line 1/4 mile trap speed vs E.T. calculator using my car weight & hp. The results were 12.06 at 112.2. My results are right on.

I came from a C8 and can definitely say it was not a practical car at all. Visibility was horrible and performance was not all that great given the reduced level of comfort. I gladly gave up the extra fractions of the vette for a luxury car full of creature comforts. But that's just me. I also had an M4 which was a beast and a 911S that was nice. I've ordered my CLE but due to the red interior, build date is not till the end of February..

It's the end of the racing season here, maybe next year if I find myself near a drag strip I'll take the car down the track for another few passes.

Car & Driver is estimating 0-60 of 3.8s and QM ET of 12.2. Do you have a link to their actual test?

Stop the presses, I just re-read this ^^^ and see it's for the 450 which brings up another issue, the QM times/traps are perilously close to the 53...WTF?
There's also this:
Mercedes - AMG CLE 53 Coupe C236 specs, quarter mile, lap times, performance data - FastestLaps.com
And this:
Corvette Stingray Fights BMW M440i and AMG CLE 53 With a Truly Unexpected Twist - autoevolution
Unfortunately no traps speeds here otter than for the c8, but the 53 held its own to a point

If one wants performance in this class go for the new M4 comp it traps at 122 mph all day, has about 75 more hp and ~40 lb ft trq in the AWD version. Personally, I wanted more creature comforts like massaging seats and a softer ride, but since they're at somewhat of a similar price point very well equipped, MB should have made the 53 with at least 480hp to get close to the m4 non-comp. The 53 is actually more of an in-between competitor of the 440/M4. I also think the 53 looks better, way better.
