Conservatively for the CLK 430:

0-60 = 5.8 secs

1.4 Mile = 14.4 secs


These times are influenced by fuel quality, tire pressure, outside air temp, sea level and such. Also please note to shut off the ESP for optimum times.

Perhaps someone with a G-Tech can do some runs?

Interesting, that's about what I would have guessed for the 0-60, maybe a hair faster.

I would say these times (which are from the usual magazines, Motor Trend, Car and Driver, etc.) are probably with the ESP ON and tire pressure at too high of a level.

More realistically for a 3500lb car with 275hp and 295 tq, 0-60 should be around 5.5, depending on how you have your transmission "trained."

1/4 Mile should be around 14.2-14.5 depending on conditions...
