What's faster?
My friend just got a 1999 230SLK, and I was wondering if our cars where faster. He's got an automatic.

I think that you guys are looking at the SC'd version....the normal 230 is a slug...16s if it's lucky...that thing weighs a lot!!!

Yes in one mag they ran a 15.0 sec 1/4 mile but in all otehr mags afterwards the lowest 1/4 mile time was 15.5.. I must amend my earlier message. you will probably beat him.. although not by too much.. but remember you have the Xephyr CAI.

You may want to worry about an AMG E55 or C43. all the other MB are porkers. Remember these are upscale luxury cars and they are made for cruising at high speed. Just be confident in your CL and stick it in SS and kick butt once or twice.

Actually, other Benz's will give a stock CL-S a hard time- current models, S500, S600, CL500/600/55, SLK32, CLK55, C32, CLK430 (roughly the same times), along with the E55.
But then again, not too many of these cars drivers go nutso in street racing.

I would disagree somewhat here. I agree with Beltfed. Those mentioned Benz will give us competition. Even the E430 will get you in the 1/4 mile if your R/T is slower.

I just did find out that all SLK230's are supercharged. It's funny how much there 0-60 times vary depending on the magazine, they even got one mag. stating that it did 0-60 in 8.1sec. I'm not being a magazine racer, I'm just doing some research. We will just see how fast these cars are this weekend...knowing that I'm definitely a better driver than he is, I think I should be able to take him.

For your information
These are the # given by MT mag.
0-60 for the following MBenz
C43= 5.9 sec
S500=6.5 sec
S600=6.2 sec
CLK230=7.6 sec
C320=7.1 sec
E55AMG=4.8 sec
Clk430=6.5
ML430=7.5
ML55AMG=6.3
So again we just need to worry of the AMG models. Any ways you are also comparing V8 and V12 against our 3.2CL-S that gives better or equal performance 0 to 60 times for less dollars.
