Very close. Both 0 to 60 and 1/4 mile. I guess I would give the nod to the CLK350, both will do something like 14.1@99 to 14.0@100 but you have to launch the Boxster just right and power shift it just right to get there. In the Benz you just turn off ESP and mash it. Actually, it will launch even harder of you power brake it at the line (if it doesn't smoke the tires first!).

You have the 7G-Tronic? It's in sport mode right? Maybe do a reset on the ECU. Your CLK350 Coupe is within 80 lbs. of of my C350 and they both are spec'd by MB as running about 6.0. The magazines usually get 5.7 out of them. Pop a pair of K&Ns in there, reset the ECU and try again maybe?

Probably boxster, cus the 5spd. If both cars are auto, then it should be pretty even.
