Default Motor trend SRT8 test

Septembers Motor Trend did a Head to Head on the SRT8 Magnum and the Mercedes E55 AMG.
1/4 mile
AMG 12.3 @113.8
SRT8 13.1 @108.2

600ft slalom
AMG 64.8 mph
SRT8 67.1 mph

Lateral Accel.
AMG .84g
SRT8 .90g

60-0
AMG 115’
SRT8 113’

Power
AMG 469hp, 516 lb-ft
SRT8 425 hp, 420 lb-ft

Price as tested
AMG $96,565
SRT8 $43,035

Fuel mileage during test

SRT8 13.8 mpg

Acceleration was the only thing the AMG beat the SRT8 in.

Looks like a bargain at $43000.

The main thing for me is

AMG $96,565
SRT8 $43,035

and there's no compairison in looks.
Magnum by far is the winner.
