03 Mercedes E55 gives Gen I Viper performance w/ BMW handling?

[Foster1]

<FONT COLOR="Black">The 03 AMG E55 from Mercedes has a 5.4L supercharged V-8 engine. This puts out 469 HP/ 516 ft-lbs. torque. 0-60 in 4.5 sec and runs 12.4 @ 117 on the 1/4 mile! Handling is all computer controled </FONT c>

<FONT COLOR="Black">This looks like a real competitor for Viper. It would really be good if it had a higher top speed(155) I don't know about you guys, but I'd like to race one some day!</FONT c>

YOU ARE IN BIG TROUBLE NOW!!
BE PREPARED TO BE HAMMERED INTO THE GROUND BY THE OTHER VCA MEMBERS FOR MAKING SUCH AN OUTRAGEOUS STATEMENT!!!

EVEN IF IT IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE!!..

WHEN I POSTED THAT I HAD JUST SEEN THE NEW SL55 (465HP SUPERCHARGED V-8) BUILT BY THE SAME COMPANY (DC) AS OUR VIPERS.. I GOT BEATEN TO DEATH BY SOME OF THE VCA MEMBERS FOR STATING THE OBVIOUS...

IF YOU FEAR FOR YOUR LIFE...

NEVER BRING UP THE NEW 6 LITER TWIN TURBO-CHARGED V-12 WITH OVER 545HP THAT IS IN THE NEW CL600 COUPE...

BUILT BY WHOM!!

DAIMLER CHRYSLER...

THE COMPANY THAT THE SAME VCA MEMBERS INSISTED WOULD NEVER EVER BUILD A PRODUCTION CAR WITH OVER 500HP!!

SOME OF THESE VCA GUYS MUST LIKE THE TASTE OF CROW..

<FONT COLOR="Black">OK, just for ther record, I'm not trashin' the Viper. After all, It's my favorite car!! The Gen II and VGX Vipers will kill this thing. I'm just saying that there is another car trying to compete w/ Viper and that It would be fun to race one, THAT'S IT!!</FONT c>
