You speak the truth. And, from a performance *feel* the E55 is probably close. But let's remember, cars like this Viper are track toys that are increasingly comfortable to drive to the track. The Viper is thus far the ULTIMATE American muscle car. It clearly is attacking the Corvette Z05 and winning. The 'vette is much maligned for it's *horrible* daily driver ride. I'm guessing the Viper fixes that as well as boosts performance. And I say all this as a HUGE german car fan. (I have an 05 S4 and 06 A4) The thing is, German cars are made to be Autobahn stormers: you can be chatting on the bluetooth and easily pass a truck. Even the new RS and AMG cars are not built to be track toys. Audi's lean towards safety, all weather performance, and performance in the twisties. Benz leans towards the drag strip (although the E63 softened the E55 quite a bit. Maybe that's not good) and luxury. BMW is in the middle. All of them are built from a luxury platform and then performance is added in. The Viper is built from the track and then softened for daily use. TOTALLY different philosophy. This fecker is a beast.
