Interesting, the top gear tests the C32 DESTROYED the other two. Probably because it has the most torque by far... Wow, it also has the most horsepower, but not by much... but that extra torque must make it hella fun... I think I'd like the C32 as my daily driver the best since it's automatic and the M3 as my track car.

The reason the Mercedes destroyed the other two in top gear test is because it is an automatic trans....
There's no contest at all between flooring it in 6th gear (manual trans) and flooring an automatic. That's a pointless comparison....apples and oranges.

Good memory, I knew that 5.6sec wasn't going to be the case....but to be honest, I didn't think it was going to be as fast as this C&D test showed (5.0 to 60).
Let's see what some other mags get, 5.0sec for such a heavy car with 340hp is really fast.
I was expecting 5.2-5.3sec.
Anyway, guess I'm going to really need that ECU for the S60R.
