Weighs same as your c230. And if you think weight equals balance, then you have a lot to learn about cars. The F1 cars that do 360km easy don't even weigh as much as the engine and tranny of that v6 Camry.
I wasn't talking weight.
I meant "feel heavy" like I said before.

Doesn't change anything.
You mentioned bounce as if it was going to fly out of the road. Don't shift goal post.
The suspension and steering tune is to provide a soft feed back to the user.

It wasn't designed to feel heavy and harsh. It's not a sports car.

Again, most sedans in the same class with same engine size weigh almost the same except those with AWD. The AWD adds additional weight.

You need to upgrade that your Benz. 160km/hr in town is crazy oo. U be my pal oo.

The G35 weighs less, has a higher hosepower, better torque, has a better 0-60 time, better 0-100, better 0-200, also has a higher top speed.

I'm curious, on what basis are you going to kill it with a C350?
This is the reason why we humble shitboxes everyday.
A Mercedes Benz that have "official" top speed of 200kph will do 250kph...na the d secret wey Benz they hide from competitors...u will never know this until the car figures out that u r thirsty for speed.

Airport road,not town ooo.
PH isn't that free anymore,road wise as construction is going on everywhere now.
Upgrade?Time never reach yet.
So you are trying to say those cars I mentioned don't bounce around at high speeds?
Cos I travel a lot using these motorways and is more prone to these races from time to time and i tell you,most if those cars start bouncing up and down and looks like it will lift when close to 180kph.
It's something i see all the time.

They don't. You have either been riding in badly maintained Camry's or racing against same.

I used to drive a big for nothing. Did 185km/hr in that big thing. It wasn't all over the road and definitely wasn't bouncing around. Now this Camry has a higher ground clearance and softer suspension than the muscle that replaced it. It was even a 4 cylinder. grin

Used to have the picture. So I don't know the Camry's you've been racing against, but they sure aren't bouncy. Yeah, they won't corner well as the Mercedes c230 but 0-60, ah well. You know. wink

Same reason someone asked if a Benz doing 100km/hr is same as a corolla doing 100km/hr or will arrive at a destination at the same time.

We have come to accept that fact,I agree.
Japs of equal or likely category are quicker than their merc counterparts but then,the mercs are faster.Deal?

Has to be year for year; no wahala. So 2008 vs 2008.

BTW, the C63 is not a 6 cylinder.

Inform me of a 6 cylinder car the MB produced that beats the Infiniti G in performance.

If you no get any one, o boy just hide your face o.

You get time to dey follow am argue.

Funny enough, even the 2008 G35 is still faster than the 2012 C350.

0-60 MPH
0-100 MPH
0-200 KPH.

You'd have to jump to the turbocharged C400 to finally beat the G.

Turbocharge the G and it wrecks the C400 and even the C43.

The annoying thing na say na people with 200 HP W203 dey run mouth pass. Talmbout speed. What do you know about speed? What do you know about acceleration?

If na dem Jakumo with CLK550 dey talk, I for no even dey put mouth. They're calling powerful engines, people with 200 HP four cylinder and one lethargic V6 go dey talk.


Here's the fact. Yall cars aren't fast. Y'all would lose to any serious Japanese V6. JDM has matched Germany for decades now, and at the highest level too. A 2009 GTR still just about schools any Mercedes or Bimmer out there.

Kmt.

You're doing the same thing we mock and accuse Benzedes kids of doing. An S class is not a racing car. It's just like competing your little racing car with an Infinit QX80 or Toyota Landcruiser (apologies for mentioning these unreliable shitboxes I just mentioned alongside the legendary Landcruiser).

An Sclass, although looking as plastic and childish as Benzedes CLA is heavy (only the massage seats in the back is enough to add some kgs) so you and the people who made this video are comparing apple with oranges.

It's a completely fair comparison because the S Class has almost 100 HP more. For what it's worth, racing that S550 vs an M56 would yield similar results. Both are heavy cars, no?

That was how I saw this video of Gwagon doing tug of war with one tiny Supra. When it's bigger brother, the Toyota 4runner later showed up the Benzedes flying carton was bullied mercilessly. Please let's not throw away our senses while trying to be savage.

It's not a racing car, so all the car journalists racing them are stupid, and you're the smart one.

Do you think S Classes are slow? Lmfao. Have you driven one? Have you raced one?

Racing an S Class is very different from a tug of war between a Supra and G Class. Tugs of War are mostly dependent on weight, whereas weight is just a factor in a race.
