@TheBreakfastLover 8 ай бұрын

If Mercedes is going to downgrade to a 4-cylinder mild hybrid, it should either be faster or cost less than the 6-cylinder C43 it's replacing. In this case it's neither.

Not really, it's not just a 4cyl, it's got a mild hybrid and that's not cheap. Many cars with mild hybrid system will cost more that their regular gas version of the same car.

I was trying to figure out the difference between the first roll race and the second. Screen said you were in 2nd gear in the second. What were you in in the first roll race?

@johnsharp5753 8 ай бұрын

The Audi appeared to be in 3rd or maybe 4th in the first race. You can hear how low the RPM is from the Audi's camera. I think maybe the driver just used paddles to downshift to 2, but if you drive with constant throttle and no input, the car will automatically shift into 3rd or 4th, unless you actively bump the middle console shift lever to the right. In that case, the car will stay in manual until bumped back to the left. I *think* the Merc launched the same way in both races.

I'm uncertain whether it's impressive that the S4 is able to keep up with or even outperform the supposedly 'improved' C43, or if it's sad that the brand new revised C43 can't beat the S4 alongside with claiming to have more horsepower. It's worth noting that Audi has been using the 3.0T engine since 2018. They are the only German manufacturer yet to update their engine to compete with the new M340 and C43. Nevertheless, it seems their 'older' engine is still doing the job quite effectively on the C43 😂.

You think Mercedes make these type of cars to please KZfaq racing channels. They make cars for everyday daily driving and they won't compromise the drivability and technology of their cars for a drag race for shits and giggles. They don't think "how can we make our c43 slightly quicker than our competitors", they put technology in the cars for efficiency and drivability reasons. A BMW m340 has an over boosted inline 6 cylinder made for performance. It's probably closer to 450 horsepower in real life and lighter than a c43. You have to drive both cars to know both purpose and strong points.

The Canadian pricing for the C43 is ridiculous. Love Mercedes, but their pricing strategy lately has been outrageous. If they improved quality, sure ok, it may be justified over the competition. However, they haven't done that. There is no reason why the C43 is 18k more than an S4 and almost 10k over an M340i. Even if the engine is handmade and a true AMG engine in that sense, that is not 10k more than a B58.
