Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
I have seen various figures quoted, the truth of the matter is that the C2 and C4 are very well matched in speed I tried my old C4 next to my friends C2 no real difference between the cars, the Triptronic will slow you down by about 0.5 Secs to 60, but it could be said that you can keep 2 hands on the wheel and not need to change/miss a gear?

Suggestion · Original poster
The various tech sources quote between 5.5s to 6.0s, but my car certainly feels faster than that, especially now that I exclusively use Shell 'Optimax'.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 3Original post

5.1 for the C2 manual and 5.5 for the tip. C4 is 0.2 of a second more than the C2. Pretty quick eh?

POST 4Original post

Obviously it depends whether your talking about the previous 3.4 or the new 3.6 models too

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the responses so far - I've got the previous 3.4 litre model. What are the differences?

POST 6Original post

Newer 3.6 has more bhp and torque. According to Evo it feels much quicker, "more like 4,5 to 60".

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Has anyone done or seen any reliable 0-60 times for this car. The various tech sources quote between 5.5s to 6.0s, but my car certainly feels faster than that, especially now that I exclusively use Shell 'Optimax'. I realise that 0 to 60 is a bit irrelevant, as the car has such great mid-range and cornering abilities, but the boy-racer in me is curious nonetheless. All comments appreciated (as long as they're not along the lines of 'bugger off and join a 'Max-Power' forum!)
