for that kind of hp and torque i'd expect better numbers than 4.9 sec 0-60.

How do you figure, the s4 gets to 0-60 in the same time and its roughly the same size and weight

That's a manufacture 0-60 time. Very under estimated.

The current C400 which has 30 HP less tested 4.7 0-60 and 13.3 1/4 mile.

C&D consistently get really low 0-60 times for all vehicles they test. I have always wondered about that.

But back to the OP, it is a very conservative time I am sure it can do better
