Never seen anything about this. It has pretty much the same supercharged 4 banger as before? If so, that thing was nowhere near a 5.5, that was more like 7.5-8.0.

The new C230 has a V6 this time around. I don't have any performance numbers, but here's some simple specs from the Benz website:
MSRP: $29,975
Engine: 2.5L 24-valve V-6 engine
Net Power: 201 hp @ 6,200 rpm
Net Torque: 181 lb-ft @ 2,700 - 5,000 rpm
Here's some more info I just found on the website:
Acceleration: 0-60 mph in 8.0 seconds (manual) 8.5 seconds (automatic)
P.S. - Sorry for all the edits. Just wanted to put it all in one place.

But still if your friend is a compulsive liar, why even waste the time on him?

Most people aren't too bright. They hear "Mercedes" or "BMW" and immediately think rich person's car. They have no idea that some of their models are inexpensive and not very powerful.
I remember some guy saying that his friend had a "Beamer" and I asked him which model and he said he didn't know. I asked him to find out and he asked "why, aren't they all the same". Hmmm. Remember the BMW 3.18? That thing had a starting cost around 18k and had a 0-60 time in the high 8's (from what I remember). Yeah, that's basically the same as a M3.

thats just the typical dude think to do, can't get mad at him. plus you have an 8 so anyone you know will probably round down the numbers to think they're in league with your car. let them lie, we know the real winner.

BTW...he was a previous rx8 owner and thinks they are slow....thats fine, but considering what he has driven...he just keeps getting slower and slower cars
