1996 0-60

[Christopher]

I've read about all kinds of 0-60 times what are you guys running? I can't seem to beat 7.3 0-60 maybe its because of the weight from the 15" sub and heavy amp? But I doubt that's the reason its running two seconds slower than its suppose to

launch it. My c280 is balls slow if i just floor it from a stop. but if i build up the revs with my foot on the brake, then get on it....much quicker. These cars have some weird timing tricks to limit wheelspin of the line, hence the slow performance 0-60. try it.

and ive gotten around 7 secs in mine 0-60 ;)

[Christopher]

My c280 was 7.8, and I do launch it at 4500 rpms maybe its because of the p0400

[Christopher]

Maybe if I take off the asr =?

[anf6789]

that would definately help. ASR will cut out power if it senses slip. especially an older system like yours

[Christopher]

Next time ill take it off I did it in a hurry getting onto the freeway waiting for the red light to turn green. For some reason I thought burning out woukd decrease the times

[Christopher]

Even with the asr on it still twisted off the line

[Nine Four One]

strange thing is iam so nervous about flooring my car lol...i just feel like its fragile or something. but when iam around town and leave from a light my car is a complete dog. not sure if its just cause it is what it is or something is actually wrong lol. but yeah i just feel like this car in general is very breakable compared to my past cars....

[MikeD]

I feel like if I don't floor it in my C280 then I'm deprived of that M104 roar. This is probably the most solid car I've ever been in, and the sport package makes a difference.

As for 0-60 I'm somewhere around high 7s. Figures, the only major thing I've changed is body styling.

[Christopher]

Yeah I loved my 280 sport I was running 7.8 with a broken oil pan gasket

[anf6789]

i got my car at 116k now has 173k over 7 years. Ive floored this car more times than one could count. If it breaks, i find it fixes itsself. the car knows i'll get rid of it if it misbehaves. m104s need/love to be beat on. its your responsibility to yourself and the car!

[Christopher]

Yeah I treat this car better than I treat myself

[michael6129]

7.3 in the c36? that aint good should atleast do mid 6, with some really good tires and engine in perfect condition you can get 5.8+- like this one 5.7 let's say almost 6 sec aint bad
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arp_wSxTD0I this one 6.3 (next post) for some reason some c36's seem to be a little quicker. Anyone got an idea how it's possible some are a half sec faster stock? I think it's just the condition of the car (besides that the euro's seem a bit faster then us)

It might be because my cluster is out but as far as I know mine doesn't look like that

[Christopher]

My cluster light*

[Christopher]

Between the 50-60 it doesn't have the little Orange section

[Christopher]

Yellow section** or what ever color that is

[Nine Four One]

Yeah I can see what you guys are saying but you guys also all drive all the nice baller 6cly iam in the lonesome 4 lol

[Dearlove]

if some one has good grippy tires they're going to be able to put alot more of the c36's power down, i payed $1500 for a set of 4, can launch as hard as i want....

[SpEeDy230]

Between the 50-60 it doesn't have the little Orange section

you don't have those because those are Kilometer clusters. You probably have a MPH cluster.

[Christopher]

Well yeah we are in America

[SpEeDy230]

Well you are saying your cluster doesn't looks like that. Just clarifying. I have a KPH cluster and I'm in america ;)

[Christopher]

thats pretty kool, your car is awesome. does lowering lit like that make it faster?

[SpEeDy230]

LOL i sense sarcasm. Just trying to help and your taking stabs at my car.

[Christopher]

in all honesty i really love your car, lol. it seriously one of the freshest ive seen. i like the white on white and its a clean drop. theres only two things stopping me from doing the same thing number one is money, number two there way too many dips where i live and i dont like to slow down for rail road tracks. are yours adjustable?

[SpEeDy230]

LOL ok seem'd like it. haha. My apologies. first off no it doesn't make it faster by lowering the vehicle. 2nd its not adjustable which sucks sometimes lol. I would love more suspension work especially the stuff Dearlove sells. But shipping would be a killer from AUS.

[W202FTW]

I have about 7.9 seconds on my 1996 C280 ( no ASR equipped, no resonator, 16in wheels and stock airbox ).
