ahh, i'm glad to see that people are finding this thread both informative AND entertaining. i was just going to say that this thread is actually quite informative if you can read between the insults.

LMAO..Damn it....I forgot about that line....I guess I owned myself with that one Gotta watch how I phrase things from now on lol...

Thericker

Yo! no fighting I just stumbled across an E55k time in that range...my bad though 12.62xx @ 112 mph
http://www.dragtimes.com/Mercedes-Be...lip-10438.html

Then another at 12.59x @112
http://www.dragtimes.com/Mercedes-Be...slip-9919.html

I know these are some of the slower times, and there are others much, much, faster just giving you a sample of what's out there in that range..

Once again NO FIGHTING, peace out bro

amgdriven

There must be a mistake. Those times must of been taken on "family day". You see Ricker, on "family day"....you have to load up the car with all of your family members and race....thus resulting in such poor 1/4 mile times due to the extra weight.

With my guns holstered........

and like I said in my earlier post, the Viper is a faster beast. The viper is just harder to drive fast then the E55K........unless you have someone who knows what the hell they are doing. The viper hands down will be a MUCH better track car. Chicago X just ran with someone who didn't do his viper justice. But, on a side note, hey Ricker.....you forgot to post my quoted stock E55K times.

And while I'm cherry picking times to try to make myself look good.......

I found this 2006 viper time

12.5 @117
http://www.dragtimes.com/Dodge-Viper-Timeslip-6764.html

I see Vipers all the time when I have my E55 worked on. Bobby Archer @ Viper Speed tunes and works on my E55. For those who don't know the name.....Bobby Archer is GOD when it comes to Vipers. Not only does he tune them.....he race preps them. He has been racing vipers for over a decade now.

I would love to have a Vette or Viper in my garage. With two kids who love long drives.......I would feel to guilty to own a two seater. Now, when they grow up and go to college......that would be a different story.

996Yayo

does anyone else find this an oxymoron?


if i'm misunderstanding, please explain to me what a stock E55K is...

350Zman

Gotta get at you for this post AMG....You take the best times for an E55 and then post the worst time for a Viper and somehow you think that tells the real story Best times to best times the Viper is 5-6 mph faster in the quarter mile at 11.7-12.2 et......Best time ever for a gen II is 11.7 @ 120mph...Best time for a Gen III Viper is 11.7 @ 124mph....We agree that a well driven Viper will kill and frickasee any Benz on a "roadcourse" save for the SLR Mclaren......On the highway or 1/4 its close enough that it may be a drivers race...I do believe the AMG has a higher top speed ungoverned though....

amgdriven

350Zman,350Zman,350Zman..................

I quoted on the first page of this colorful thread:
In which admits the range of times for the Viper from 11.77 to 12.3....stock.

Yes?

The Ricker pokes my side with this post to prove that E55K's 1/4 mile times reach close to 12.7.....in which I attempted to call him out otherwise:

The Ricker was showing me the E55K's HIGHEST times, not the LOWEST times.

Soooooooooooooooooo......

I came back and posted the E55K's LOWEST times and quoted the Viper's HIGHEST times.

Not in any of my posts have I stated otherwise. I agreed in the begining that the Viper is faster then the E55K. My most current post is still stating the VIPER IS FASTER. No smoke and mirrors here, man. The Ricker and I are having fun.

capisce?

amgdriven

You're new...and I understand that.

a) Maybe you had a stressful day...and feel you need some closure to your day by trying to call someone else out.

b) Or maybe, you are on a role with something and feel that energy might carry over on this thread.

c) Or maybe, just maybe, not really understanding what a E55K is; you're reaching out to the forum members to help you understand the meaning with a slight smartass tone?

Have I told you that my 2 year old daughter can't say yellow yet?

I think I'm going with answer c Sooooooo.......

E55 Kompressor. Germans spell it with a K on the AMG's. If you were referring it to a Kleemann....it would state Kleemann in all of those links that I applied. E55 W210 (years 99-02) have no Kompressors (supercharger). E55 W211 (03-06) have Kompressors. That is why we post E55 or E55K.

nyc_srt8

You guys need to take this show to hollywood. You can paid some serious 'bread' for this comedy.

996Yayo

and i can see you've been around for a long time . but even if you haven't been here as long as me, you must be knowledgeable since your post count is higher ...sorry, i don't live on this forum, let alone in front of my computer.

anyways i quoted YOU, and so i was pretty much waiting for YOU to respond. and you did just that...so thank you for helping me understand that you are referring to "Kompressor" and not "Kleemann." i wonder what would have given me that idea...maybe the E55 shown with the suffix "K3" at the Kleemann website, or the fact that i've seen and heard people refer to AMG's with Kleemann work done to them with the suffix "K" (and maybe those people are uninformed like i was just a moment ago, but nevertheless i've seen people make the reference time and again...and no i'm not thinking of Brabus - i know they use a "K" in some of their nomenclature).


and yes, this is the 2nd time you've told me of your daughter's speech impediment. what do you want ME to do about it?...if you can afford an e55, you can afford a speech therapist.

amgdriven

The first step to recovery is acceptance. Say it 996yayo.... I will say it with you......
996yayo is a DUMBASS.
there, do you feel better? Good, because I do.

I've got a question there sparky. Not knowing what it meant and no leg to stand on, you thought a smartass remark (albeit; no knowledge of the subject) would not provoke me?
Say it isn't so.
Your defensive response contradicts this:
Come on 996yayo, say it with me:
996yayo is a DUMBASS.

On the speech thing with the daughter......she will grow out of it with age, they always do. Now you on the other hand.....still say it.

996Yayo

the confusion began at the onset of this very thread...the OP has an "E55/klee," and the first reply speaks of an e55k. so while the reason for my my confusion is obvious, you seem to think that i'm a dumbass, as well as confused. good call...that right there shows exactly how little i know. but to answer your question (in spite of its rhetoric), of course i expected a reply like this...but i also expected an answer, and i knew you'd provide it. i noticed you've pounced on several others in this thread the minute they got your attention with their remarks, so i knew you'd be one of the first fellow smartasses to respond to mine.

needless to say, i got what i wanted, and you got what you wanted - i'm no longer misinformed about what "e55k" really means (or at least i know that i'm not the only one confusing a stock W211 e55 with a Kleemann e55 when i see "e55k"), and you got to rib yet another member and remind yourself how high above everyone else you are.

i find the internet ribbing, and the general demeanor of this forum for that matter, just as entertaining as anyone else here, even when i'm part of it. but your pulitzer prize winning responses show just how much time and effort you put into bashing other people. you thought long enough about my original comment to formulate three, yes three, possible scenarios that could have led to my saying it, and then explained it to me as if i didn't already know why i said it. get a life...outside the forums. funny that you're throwing names around like a child...and yet you're the father of one.

rather than emarrass the **** out of you, i'll be nice and just let you in on something: i assure you i'm not talking about the color yellow.




just let it go...this thread has gone off topic enough, and its amazing it hasn't been locked b/c of the bashing yet, i sure don't want it to get locked b/c nobody is talking about the topic of the thread...that would be kind of stupid.

amgdriven

yayo...I'm here for you. Please remember that.


.

Yeah, I know. In real estate, you have some idle time. What can I say? I'm a salesman. My job is to overcome objections. Just imagine my responses in person.................



I have one...and it's paid for. Oh, you said life....not wife. Yeah, I have one of those too.

For the record, I wasn't throwing any names around. It was intentional.
Father of two, actually.


please, whatever you do...don't emarrass me.


Okay, I admit it. You lost me on this one.

no.
