95 C36 Amg vs C43 Amg
Went from a dig to 120. I knew this guy in the c43 was in race mode. He got me by 1/2 car to 120! I'm surprised that we were so close considering the c43 has 302hp vs 268hp c36.

I don't know man...1995 C36 is rated about equal as the ML55 from 0-60 (6.4) I know they're underrated, but C43 is underrated as well. I'm not saying the C36 is slow by any means but its a bit hard to believe it would be dead even. Maybe he was in W mode because first time I raced my friends ML55 I was in W mode and we were dead even until about 100 and something.

An old issue of Road and Track the 95 c36 ran 5.9 0-60 1/4 14.4. The c43 ran similar times. Its about quick as my 03 350Z which ran high 13s!

268hp is more like 300hp. Way underrated. My 03 Z with minor boltons which is about 295hp and 200lbs lighter than the C36. Runs close times.

Which is funny because the ML55 runs 350z/ G35s. (stock) I doubt the C36 is underrated, dyno it. But I honestly doubt it, the only underrated thing about that car is its actual 0-60. Mercedes tests their cars with full passengers and full baggage load.

After driving the C36 and C43 back to back, I would say that there was not a ton of difference in terms of straight line performance from a dig. I didn't line them up obviously, but they were close. The '43 will edge slightly past 55 mph, and I presume walk away in excess of 100. The results of this race don't surprise me either.

All I could say is my C36 is a rare car with lux,performance daily driver. But for the price a payed for it was a steal.
Luckily there was a clean one only couple miles from my house. Another one was 100miles away.
