Why is C55 slower than C32 0-100km/h?

[Bilal786]

Due to the supercharger of the C32, and Mercedes' TYPICALLY UNDERRATED power output, I would say the C32 put more power to the ground, maybe close to 370bhp-380bhp. With supercharged engines, its very easy to make the power increase, some SL55's have dynoed at 540hp at the crank while the 600's the worst offenders, make in excess of 560-580bhp at the crank. From this evidence, I wouldn't be surprised if teh C32 made more power on a cold day than the C55.

But gimme a N/A 5.5 V8 from AMG anyday.
