2002 CLK 55 AMG Coupe ;)
Interesting exercise:
Comparing a Viper with a CLK is like comparing a watermelon with plum. Two different machines with distinct characteristics:
Viper: it remains in character as a rude, crude, and lewd dude.
CLK: a luxury coupe.
A current comparative analysis & ROAD TEST - with parity/equals - is in this current article of MOTORTREND:
Dodge Viper SRT-10 vs. Chevrolet Corvette Z06

I'd go for the Viper, even if it is not as sophisticated and comfy.

........I am just amazed by how much this post has generated controversy that is entirely unrelated to the post. The post said "CLK55K vs Viper" not "CLK vs Viper." If you have driven a CLK55K you will understand. This thing is a beast.

Is it viper, - or Dodge Viper SRT-10, that is the subject?
Just focusing on one of the car's characteristics is just one characteristic: BRUTE POWER.
For that, the trophy clearly goes to the stock Dodge Viper SRT-10, - and for $10 grand less than the CLK55 with a super charger!

You have an amazing car, the NSX-T seems to be a fast car (i have no experience with one, thus why i didnt mention it). For the money, there are cars i would rather have, but thats my $.02. You didnt buy your car to impress me, enjoy your car!

NSX-T doesn't stand for turbo... its the same as any other NSX model sold in the states in the same model year. The "T" represents the T-Top NOT for turbo.
The only other types of NSX out there is the Zanardi Edition (limited), and the Type-S NSX (not sold in the states).
