Final-drive ratio..........3.07:1
Wheelbase..........105.9 in
Track, F/R..........59.3/58.0 in
Length..........180.2 in
Width..........67.8 in
Height..........53.0 in
CdA = 6.4976
Frontal area..........21.4 sq ft
Drag Coefficient = 0.31
Curb weight..........3240
(F:0.9-2.0" / R:0.8-2.0")
Pitch Charachteristics =
Rolling Resistance =
Pitch = 2.0

According to the aDyno Android application "Need Pitch Characteristics for accurate 0-60, quarter mile times."
My 0-60 currently reads 6.19sec
This run was from one stop light to the next. By the time I got to 60 it was time to slow it down.

No brilliance on my part, I just report what they tell me 
Per the 2001 MB USA press kit (I tossed / can't find / lost the 2000 kit but they are the same), these are the differences:
I don't know pitch characteristics, rolling resistance, or drive train losses. They don't list that in the new press kits either.
I keep a lot of W208 stats here.
I do know your speed @ RPM numbers, but these are only good if the tires have the same diameter as the original Michelins (close on others though):
1st gear @ 6000 RPM 38.6 MPH
2nd gear @ 6000 RPM 63.4 MPH
3rd gear @ 6000 RPM 98.3 MPH
4th gear @ 6000 RPM 138.7 MPH
5th gear @ 4800 RPM 155 MPH (electronically limited)
I hope that helps.

- MB doesn't list quarter mile times.
- The height is listed at 54 inches (but they list that for the 320, 430, and 55)
- I don't know what CdA is, byt the aerodynamic drag (Cd) you listed is right.
- I don't know the frontal area.
- US models were rated at 3265 pounds for the CLK320 coupe, but they have 4 cats rather than your two. That might be 25 pounds.

Thanks Boss
Ok found the formula.. http://ecomodder.com/wiki/index.php/...t_of_Drag_List
CdA formula = Cd * Frontal Area (Duhh) lol
So CdA = 6.634 given the Frontal Area number is correct/accurate.
I visit your site often for reference and information.
My diameters of my 20's is pretty much the same as stock. Can't remember exactly but it was only off by just a few i.e. 0.02.
According to the aDyno app, to have a accurate 0-60 I need the following information:
[Pitch Characteristics 2.00 degrees/G - (pitch angel @1G acceleration)]
Hopefully the "Oracle" will have answers - GGLE

99CLK320,
back in the day
back in the day, when I had a black series motor, I couldn't afford the gas as the mileage was horrible so I sold it and settled for my good old 320. The 1/4 mile times I never bothered with. It was my daily driver. Hey, I have a great bridge in NYC I could sell yah if'n yer interested.

Pretty much got all my details dialed into this aDyno android application.
Just need the Rolling Resistance data which I emailed Nitto tires.
Did another 0-60 run today and clocked in at 6.174 secs
