First of all the 98 C230 has 148 Horsepower not 159. Also, the Camry with the inline 4 has 158HP.
here are the specs.
1998 Mercedes Benz c230
148HP, 162 ft.lbs of torque
Curb Weight: 3250 lbs
0-60mph: 9.7 seconds
2007 Toyota Camry 4 cylinder
158HP, 161 ft-lbs torque
Curb Weight: 3263 lbs
0-60mph: 8.8 seconds
So the answer to your question is the Toyota Camry will just barely win in a straightline race against the MB. Both cars have almost identical power but the Camry has a little bit more, along with a slightly smaller curb weight.
Hope this info helps
