These are very different cars. The SL55 you can drive every day, in all weather, very very comfortably and quietly, and its properly fast with the supercharged motor. It's a great car to actually drive. If I had to drive it every day, I would definitely choose the benzo. If it were a second car, the viper would get a nod. The cars are extremely different, but both pretty crazy for what they are.
Mercedes ALL the way.. my family owned all their life's and that was my first car for my 16th bday... Noting compares to a AMG.. dnt get me wrong Viper is sick but for me It would be the Mercedes !!!!!
loooooooooool!!! if you drive the VIPER you dont need to shift!!! it can do 70mph in 1st gear!!! so... it is faster and the americen version can do 0-60 in 3.9 sec!!! VIPER4ever!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! mercedes sucks!!! BMW 4ever!!! the mercedes is slower than the VIPER, it has lower top speed, is less beautiful, it is much more expensive (without reason) and mercedes are the only GERMAN cars that need superchargers and turbos to give a lot hp!!! what else do you NOT want from a car??? :D
Viper: Hardcore sports coupe. No luxury, no class. Basically a dedicated sports car.
Mercedes SL: Convertible hardtop, luxury car (Massaging seats, navigation, voice activate electronics, intermittent wipers etc...), sedate daily driver (try calling a viper that) as well as being a hair raising beast.
If you can't figure out why the viper is a LITTLE bit faster, your fucking retarded.
I'll take the .4 of a second, to have the luxury, the class.
The Vipers 1.05g skidpad is bad handling? Get your facts straight. The SL65 weighs in at 4494 lbs and has a .93g skidpad. The SL65 VS SRT10 VIPER on a track would be a massacre. Oh and the Viper gets 8 MPG more while dusting the SL65.
That's practically a racing car.. pit it agains the SLR McLaren 722 or the new racing version that'll come. Don't whine about the price please because I know all of your cars are cheaper. But there is a reason for the difference.
actually no, you almost certainly could not buy a porsche 911 of ANY kind, not even a base carrera for the price of the viper. the viper is not a peice of shit, its unsophisticated. its what a sports car SHOULD be, raw, brutal, menacing, and dedicated PURELY to performance, not luxury. in the words of Clarkson, "driving a viper is like going out with your friend whos alot of fun, always up for the party...but theres one problem, he does occasionally like to kill people with axes."
JIMMYJIBLETS, ur right because the only BIG thing that's better about the Benz is that it's a BENZ, that most people and riches like because of the name, and it does not have anything to do with luxury, because most people don't worry all the time about luxury.
Because in Europe we have stupid rules... saying that ppl can be burnt because of side exhaust... but since the exhaust pipe still runs under the door... this doesn't change anything...
The SL's top speed is actually closer to 320. It's limited to 250kph for safety, something this review doesn't feel neccesary to mention. I love both cars though. Considering all the heavy luxury and technology crammed into the Mercedes, I'm not surprised that it doesn't blow the viper away.
dumb cars to compare. the sl is beautuful and has so much tecnonology. u can be messaged in the seats. my dad has an sl55 amg with a lrinser package. its a bit heavy though. type in " mercedes sl55 amg lorinser" it should be the first video
here we go again NO! a supra CANT kill a viper! a over tuned supra and a under tuned viper is what you see most of the time.
i live about 1 1/2 HR from a track and the only 2 vipers that run are the only cars that MUST hit the brakes about half way down the strip so they wont get kicked out of the track. and they hit low 10s
Nice video!!!Mercedez is a nice car ...but it does not have enough power to beat The Viper!!!!!on the other hand Viper is much more cheap than Mercedez.
Agreed. It has power, technology, beauty, style, elegance, safety, and in my opinion the best looking interior of ANY car EVER. I freakin love the SL class.
I drove the SL500, basically the SL55 but with less horsepower and what this lady fails to mention is that the merc sucks in corners. Ironic since they always make fun of American cars for not cornering well.
Hey dumb ass they're both owned by the same company. AND NEVER INSULT AMERICA AGAIN! WE HAVE KICKED YOUR SORRY EUROPEAN ASS BEFORE AND WE CAN DO IT AGAIN AND HAVE FUN DOING IT!
HAHAHA!!!! Nice joke....... Eh, the Germans came up with luxury and performance FIRST before the Americans...... And btw, the Germans can easily smoke the Americans in a 1/4 drag....... Trust me......
Viper all day over SL65.....oh may I add I own both. Marimerc, ever raced a Viper against 65 or you just saw videos or know someone who has? Let me tell you somethin': There's a flock of people who just don't know how to drive them Vipers. I swear to fuckin' God..Where are you from? If you're East Coast I'll drive there put up 10 Gees on any SL 65 stcok trim, My coupe is Stock also 07. I'm bout to get that 08 LOL
no s--- the sl 65 would smoke the viper, but the mercedes costs almost twice as much as the viper. And the 2008 viper is gonna have 600 hp, just as much as mercedes sl 65
