An ACR would probably be a better comparison. That aero has to help.

SLS Black Series looks like the street legal twin of the FIA GT3 championship winning racer.

not a very pretty $300k car. pretty quick. if they put sequential / dual clutch in the viper I am pretty sure it would win in all categories....but... old fashion rowing gears is way more fun.. (just my opinion)...

Just saw this this morning.

SLS AMG black to start at $275k. STARTING price.

For that price. I'd rather get a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta....which is around $300k...

Wouldn't the viper win the track test if it had the Michelin pilot sport cup tires instead of the Pirelli P zeros? It seems a little unfair to test a car on summer tires vs one on track tires that you can drive on the road if you needed to.. The viper might even be faster in the quarter with those tires...

I think the SLS is pretty ugly and for the money, aren't there less expensive AMGs that are as quick?

I've seen a couple of these in person and they look pretty damn good to me. The red ones look especially striking.

The only thing that a $300k Ferrari gets you over this is status... and that's what most of the people spending this kind of money really want anyway.
