need help with 0-60 times and other info

As I am doing some research for my next Benz purchase, I made a list of all 2006 models (excluding R-class, G-class, ML-class), and put it into Excel.

Now can any of you double check my figures (especially the 0-60 times) on the spreadsheet, and correct me if I'm wrong? I had to get the info from many different sources, and found the most discrepancies in this field.

Thanks in advance!

I think some of the S classes 0-60 times are wrong, or mixed up?

yeah, the s-class stuff is off. the s55 number is for the n/a car not the s/c car. the s500 number should be 6.1. the s350 number should be ~7.6.

ok, that's what I thought.. those websites had really widely varying numbers..

now, this may seem like a stupid question, but what did you mean when you said "the s55 number is for the n/a car not the s/c car" ???

N/A = Naturally Aspirated

S/C = Supercharged.

You can find all the 0-60 times as well as the other stats at www.mbusa.com

Thanks... that's where I got most of my values, but they were missing a few, so I had to poke around various websites to find the rest... that's why I had some discrepancies...

Ok, here's another update. I've included every car model from MBUSA.COM. There are 2007 models for the S-class, and SL-class (prices TBA).

Also, I have updated all MSRP values, and Disp., hp, and 0-60 times (unavailable for S55, S65).

Finally, I left the mileage values as before, so some of them could still be incorrect, but you get a feel for what range it's in.

(Please free to post corrections if you spot any errors... thanks!)

Nice spreadsheet. Are you interested in curb weight and 1/4 mile? I would be interested in those because I am starting to shop (very beginning stages) for a car that will be a daily driver and later a race car. All I know is that I drool when I see an S, SL or SLK.

Yeah, i was thinking that...

i am actually going to build a Benz fan site (not to compete with this one of course... I love this site), something complementary...

it will always have current information on all car models, with the ability to view the spreadsheet, filter, sort, print etc online

i just look at it and drool.... lol

i will post the updated spreadsheet below... I just need to add "year" as well, as I have now mixed in 2006 models with newer 2007 models...

I'm buying another home, lol...

I want to keep my current home, get a second home.... and then get my next car... and my top choice? I think it's going to be the SLK.

I am going to refrain from getting another C-class sport sedan until the 2008 redesign hits next year.

And when I can finally afford it, I want to get an S-class sedan too. (in a few years, hopefully... and I also need a 4-car garage to keep all these cars in.. hehe)

I'm still in my 20s, so I think I'm doing ok. :-)
