the 430 should beat both, no question. Maxima is about 6.5 0-60, c70 is about the same. However, those are both estimates for manual transmissions and most out there have autos. I know this sounds bogus, and alot of it may have been differences in driver ability...but i have a stock 98 clk 320 and i beat a 2005 Maxima from a dead stop to about 80. I did get a really good jump on the light tho. You cant think so much about 0-60 times because of the way our cars are geared to shift before 60. The Maxima started catching up fast around 60 but then my car shifted and pulled away again. It was close, not a thrashing by any means. Plus that C70 comes in high and low pressure versions. If its an LT you'll win easy, if its a HT you should still be ok. Im not sure about quartermile times.

CLK 430
I have a 02 Maxima SE and a CLK 430. The 5.5 gen (02-03) maxima is faster than the 6th gen maxima (04-05) but I would think that the maxima would take the CLK from a stop but from a roll or at highway speeds I believe the CLK would win it.
