Sport Auto Viper SRT10 vs MB SL65 AMG
:arrow: http://www.is-mad.com/upload/userfil...RT10vsSL65.zip
...well, the editor isn´t very satisfied with handling of the Viper, steering is awful - it has a dangerous tendency to surprisedly change from under - to oversteering, with little feel to control it, so a pro behind the wheel is absolutely necessary to be really fast...
well, on the tech-side, everything is kinda old and rude - but also charming is some way...
the SL on the other side is - yes u guessed it right - WAY to heavy to be a real performer on the track, but i think we agree that it´s not supposed to be one...
excellent V12 engine and nearly perfect ESP setup are good to beat the 500kg lighter Viper at HHR race track...
well...both aren´t my type of car but that´s just my opinion...

Must say that it's amazing how the SL65 can beat the viper at a track. Mercedes is definetely doing somethign right. Hopfully someday Mercedes learns how to make lighter cars and then...

the Merc can make up for the loss of two corners by one straight line
Viper=Male with overgrown muscles
Sl65=Female secretary in tight mini skirt
The answer is clear on which one get the boss's attention

SL65 cost two times more than the Viper. for the rest of the money you can modify your viper to make it faster than the sl65 :roll:

Neither of them is my type of car, but I would get the Merc over the Viper if I had to.

I would take the Merc anyday over the viper. I think this should be turned into a poll - strange choice of cars, but would you take the AMG or the Viper?

Screw the Merc, it is way too heavy and has no manual option, Viper for me!

I think there was something wrong with the Viper in this test, a couple of month ago the same magazine tested the Viper on Hockenheim(using the same driver), they clocked the car, the laptime showed 1.14.9 min. I mean the difference 1.16.3 min now and 1.14.9 min in a earlier test is very strange.
A M3 with 343 hp has the same laptime as the Viper in this test.
Come on a 343 hp car same time as the Viper, nah this Viper wasnt healthy.

Funny... the first thing i read on the first scan is "Die Dodge Viper".
But yeah I would personally prefer the Merc over the Viper. The Viper is a hell of a car, but I don't like it very much for some reason.
