Tuf call but i would say yes! If you get kleemann on your 430 it's a close one.

I've been thinking about this one for a while now... On the 0-60, I think the Viper would win. On the qtr-mile, I really don't know. I would have to actually race one to know. Anyone have a Viper? I do know that any guy with a Viper, who sees a CLK keeping up with him, would be impressed.


On the otherhand, a 55K would eat a Viper for breakfast.

I have a couple Vipers. Sub 12 second 1/4 mile runs are not uncommon with Vipers on street tires. I would guess it would be tough even for a CLK430K to keep up if the Viper driver doesn't miss their shifts.

I meant a 55 with a Kleemann Supercharger on it.

Looks from the other post that you may be coming up to the track with us in June.

i've riden in a viper RT callaway and i really really don't think the CLK55 kleeman has a chance! Bring on a porsche turbo, maybe... but not the viper!

i could be wrong!

however.. if the kleeman does kick ***.... then i want one... and YES.. i'll start going to the mosque!!!

The Kleemann definitely kicks ***. My CLK430 is putting out over 485 hp and 465 lb/ft of torque. Nevertheless, I don't see my car beating a new Viper. I have seen my car on the track easily hang (and on the street, in a pure straightline race, beat) a new Corvette Z06, but the new Vipers have a ridiculous amount of torque. I hope to close the gap with a full engine conversion. As for a Kleemann CLK55, I think it would be real close. The Kleemann CLK55 has run 12.4 consistently in the 1/4 mile with stock rims and tires. Even with my car, traction is the biggest limitiation. I'm planning on having fender work done so that I can go with much wider tires (than the 265/30/19's I have now) in the rear.

I know that you've emailed Brad in the past, however I'm not quite sure whether we've talked. Give me an email at ben@evosport.com. We'll arrange something. BTW, the track lesson coming up will be awesome. You get great instruction for the whole day, gourmet food, and as much track time as you want. Any car is welcome to come, but you'll definitely have much more fun in the 360 Challenge car.
