Hi all. i hope to get some feedback from C36 and C43 owners as well those familiar with the car. (Noah, Lee, etc.)
i just read an article from 1995. C36 vs. BMW 540i and other cars. the 1995 C36 did 0-60 in 5.8 sec with only 268 HP and 2.87 diff. now, a 1998-2000 C43, 302 HP, 3.07 diff and the latest C&D when comparing C43, M3, S4, Saab said that the C43 did 0-60 in 6.1 sec? i dont get it?? is Mercedes trying to keep the figures conservative just to avoid problems with the USA automobile authority? i would imagin with the increased torque and HP, the C43 should be doing low 5s 0-60. (like 5.1 or 5.2 or maybe even 5.0) the C43 weighs less than the C36 and has more power...

can anyone add to this? can anyone give results of 0-60, 1/4 mile with the C43?

i am thinking about getting a C43. i used to have a 1995 C36 and gave it to my mother since i am a nice guy

i C36 felt fast off the line but it wasnt neck snapp'n.

thanks all!!
