BMW FTW
well given that they're already rolling (as opposed to going from a dead stop) as they come onto that straightaway, i can totally see a Viper not being able to close the distance between him and an E55K in front of him. heck, i suppose a Viper could possibly lose ground to an E55K were it not for the E-class's "brick in the wind" aerodynamics. regardless (and like i stated above), that particular video says his E55 is stock (not yet an E55K).

Look at what you have done. You now have MBWorld's biggest a$$hole getting involved. Let it begin..............................
Well my Jacuzzi tub driving, trailer park trash troll.....this is a Mercedes forum.
M-E-R-C-E-D-E-S forum.
What? Oh, that's right...you HAD one. A S-class in which you where confused if it was a 430 or 500....with a hps supercharger. Right? Wow, what a move "up" you made.
All you do is talk how great your Jacuzzi tube is.....congratulations. I bet you are the happiest tool in the trailer park. Why so bitter? All of those years ridding on the short yellow bus anger you?
Why stay? What do you bring to the table? Your typing is horrid. Your grammar is terrible. The only time you chime in is when someone compares their car to a vette or thinks their Mercedes is faster then something other then a Mercedes. As a matter of fact, all your cronies on this forum are trolls. I guess back in the day on the short yellow bus....you all had to stick together.
Your figures you quoted are.....once again.....one sided for your gain.
But, giving some credit where credit is do.....the E55K is comparable to the Viper on the straights. Viper does show some better times......but there is a huge variance. We all know E55K can get below 12 seconds stock. But rare. 2006 Viper has 1/4 mile times up to 12.3 with some times as low as 11.77.

ChicagoX stated the factory viper would not pull on the straights. He has a valid assumption. The viper should be faster, but I guess it depends on the apex acceleration and how strong the cars are.
hey ricker....ball is in your court now.

How's your old $15,000 dollar e55 210 Kettle say hello the pot...lol
In order to make fun of my Grammar, & typing, you need to have better skills than I do, you type, spell, far worse than me guy
I'll give credit where it's due, though I disagree w/ChicagoX, he at least has superior grammar, typing, skills than I, you on the other hand..Please hahahahaha Also this is a CAR FORUM! not English class D-bag
Get a grip SRT10 Vipers own E55K, 12.3 being the slowest quoted time for a SRT10, **** man...The slowest E55k go as high as 12.7xx you have no points, shut it!
I stay here and impart a great bit of knowledge for lessor informed individuals such as yourself, it's ok Korky, you'll get better w/time/age
I also have a bunch of good friends here, it's a great forum! Enjoy your free speech ramblings Korky

. the overall amount of drag is equal to the Cd x frontal area. suppose for a second that the Viper GTS has half the frontal area of the E-class, and suppose the frontal area of the E-class = 1 (we'll leave units of area out for simplicy's sake). then it would follow that the Viper's frontal area is then equal to 1/2. then the aerodynamic drag force on the E-class = 0.27 x 1 = 0.27, while that of the Viper GTS = 0.35 x 1/2 = 0.175. even if the frontal area of the Viper was more than 1/2 of that of the E-class's, say 2/3 for example, the Viper's total aerodynamic drag would still be 0.35 x 2/3 = .233...that's still lower than the total drag of the E-class. the RT/10's total drag (if we assume it's frontal area is 2/3 that of the E-class) is 0.45 x 2/3 = approx. 0.3. that's barely higher than an E-class...so the E has the advantage over an RT/10 (based on my assumptions of frontal areas of course), but, as i'm sure you already know, wind resistance is but one of several factors that must be considered, even when only figuring a car's straight line speed/accdeleration. hence there must be other factors involved since a stock SRT/10 Viper will pull an E55 in a straight line, despite the E's aerodynamic advantage.

slow down there zoom-zoom. 
you are getting excited and not making any sense. I don't know ChicagoX from Adam, and I don't care to. I do care that a pencil-dick punk like yourself is lost on the wrong forum. This is for...and I quote...."MERCEDES ENTHUSIAST".....hence the name, MBWorld. Someone made fun of a 350z and you show up on the forum. Why? Go watch Fast and the Furious and buy the poster. Sure it's a free country.....but like this country, ignorance is not tolerated.
Oh, for the record...my **** does stink. Eating fools like you are bound to cause something foul.

Also, oh brilliant one, to be an enthusiast doesnt nesessarily require ownership....As for the reason I showed up here is because I ran with a few MB's on sunday and was totally impressed and figured Id run into some of the guys on here......Not because of some nonsensical rice comment....Im not a brand loyal lemming like you seem to be...I like performance cars period...Wheather its with 2 or 4 doors...So step off, STFU and slap yourself as its pretty obvious who the ignorant one is....Heres a hint for you Michael Jackson...Its the man in the mirror...

I made perfect sense...You felt the need to hang from someone elses ******* and I called you on it..Im pretty sure Chicago X could have responded for himself if he felt it nesessary...You can throw as many juvenile rice comments as you want, you are just making yourself look stupid...I dont mind the little ribbing its what makes car forums fun but you obviously believe your bull*****...

we disagree about Viper perf? big deal...The best part of MBworld posting is having a good sense of humor which most of us have, very entertaining

Both, the knowledge came from (I believe it was your post) the explanation of the drag on the viper and e-class. The entertainment was from the back and forth ripping from those 4 members...I had to hold my laughs in at works...
