Anyone have OEM performance data for late models?
I’m looking for a source that give stuff like 0-60, top speed, ¼ mile, lateral G's, etc. The only data I can find so far is thru a tab on autotrader.com ads, but I don’t think I really trust that.
Thanks... |

Road & Track, Car & Driver, and for Mercedes . . . Mercedes Enthusiast Magazine . . . typically have data summaries.

I used the search engine on all the major magazines, but it was hit and miss, mostly miss. Very little data, and 0-60 times range from 6.8 to 7.9 for the same car.
I was hoping for a baseline to compare my cars to. Also an estimate of what I need to do to beat my girlfriends dad's brand new SL500. He's supposed to be at the 6.1 second mark. I figure that is doable. My girlfriend is also a threat, she's looking at an '02 ML55 AMG. I can't possibly let a chick in an SUV beat me. |

Go to a Barnes and Noble or Borders and buy Mercedes Enthusiast magazine.
It gives performance figures on virtually all Mercedes models on a several page chart at the back of the magazine.

Damn, I went to Barnes and Noble about three months ago looking for any data at all for Mercedes. All the staff or I could find was some picture book on vintage Benz.
Before I bought this last car I wanted to see what the difference was between a C, E, SL, CLK, SLK, etc. No one, not even the dealer could tell me. And I don't mean 2 door vs 4 door. I mean, weight, performance, engine details, suspension, drivetrain, creature comforts, etc. What exactly is interchangable, what is not. |

All I see is some basic data there. According to them I'm already quicker than the 04 SL500, so I question that data. I tried a book store today, Borders I think it was, nothing.
