It's taking me about 10 seconds from cruising at 60 and punching it to get to 80. If I were to compare these times would I be accelerating already when I hit 60 or start from a constant velocity and accelerate? How does that sound to people? I know it's not fast compared to some cars, but cruising at 65 I can pull out and pass SO easilly. I do need to regear though. 3.69's aren't ideal...yeah I dunno where I got the idea I had 3.47's.

That sounds aweful slow to me....I do need to clock mine however. It seems like its half that on mine.

damn I must be too used to the 240, it felt pretty fast to me. My timing method was looking at my speedo then down at my stereo with the CD counting the play time, so not super accurate. I know I'm past the torque peak with my gears but I was just wondering what I should expect if I regear, I mean at like 85ish I'm pretty much going as fast as I can stand to hear and cringing. I want to measure 0-60 too but I gotta find a road, I like that these cars aren't fast enough to be like "I need a g-tech that will measure to the hundredth of a second"

I think my W123 is quicker 60-80 than my W116 , but the W116 is faster 0-60

But like I said thats totaly based on the Butt Dyno..(and we all knoiw that can be real accurate )...I will have to do a seconds hand timing of it in the next week however.....

I'll try and get a 0-60 time, my butt feeling is 10-12 seconds, it's probably because that's what I want, it's prolly more. Also I'm at 5300 feet, but I hear the turbo's don't feel it as much.

The Turbo will negate much of that altitude difference....the non turbos would really feel it.
