Vipers not scary at all???? I would like the look on their faces when they get smoked on the street by one.

I beat up an E55 pretty good from a 10mph rolll.. All I had were smooth tubes/exhuast ... Wasnt even really much of a race.. They are pretty heavy and not really in the same class.. but whatever
I couldnt even imagine the beat down it would recieve with the Twins on the car.. LOL

Ha they still make for a bad ass daily driver..

Maybe I don't run into fast Mercedes..........but I can't say I've lost to one before? Oh well, whatever

i've never raced one. but its easy for any fatass to jump in an automatic car and run good times...just add drag radials on that thing and it should be pretty good. do i think it'll stand up to a viper on the highway..nope, they are still boats.

That's some good shit...

Do they remember the viper is 14 year old technology, lol. Both cars are really good bang for the buck. Id take an E55 as a DD anyday. But to match a stock viper with a driver who sucks dick to a modded auto supercharged benz is in the words of jason heffner "retarded"

I raced my friends 99 R/T on the highway and I think he was going to pull me on the high side. He missed a gear so we couldn't get a clean run. I will need to arrange that again. We are both stock. The VIPER's advantage would be on a roll. Stock tire to stock tire on a UNPREPPED track I would give it to the E55. Interesting discussion over on the MB boards with a modded E against a stock viper......hmmm

from a dig the e55 should kill the viper until about the 1-8 mile

Thanks to GaryJ and GetBit for talking all that technical Benz shit over there upholding the honor!

I would have to disagree with you here. Is a CLK AMG comparable to the E55? These are about the results you would get either way.

To most on the street, who street race ( middle America ), I think the Viper is 'the title'.

Everyone wants a shot at the title.

You have to disagree but you don't even know the difference between a CLK AMG and a W211 E55? Please. The answer is 130-150 hp, depending on the year of the CLK (and that video actually says it's an SLK, but the answer is still the same). C/SLK/CLK AMG's are n/a; '03+ E/CL/S/SL AMG's are blown.

Mistyped, sorry, you mean the ones with intercoolers right?

Yes, they have intercoolers because they're supercharged from the factory. And the whole Viper v. E55 issue has been debated here before:

Some interesting opinions in there from some usually reliable sources, especially on the second page.

The Viper is capable of walking one but it is a nice car.

A typical E55 running at the strip.
