@@xxthehuskycaboosexx Nope. "The LX platform isn’t exactly a carryover from a Mercedes E-class, however that is not to say that the Germans didn’t help in redesigning the LH platform from which the LX is derived." So if you're good at reading, you'll notice that the LD chassis is as you say slightly tweaked LX. The LX, in its turn, is derived from the LH platform. The LH was developed "*WITH THE HELP*" of the Germans. So in short, the LD is two derivations/generations away from the LH which was CO developed with Mercedes. And that to you is enough to say they're the same chassis? Sounds like you don't know shit. Good try tho
@@xxthehuskycaboosexx By your stupid logic, a Toyota Camry, Sienna, a Lexus RC-F and a Land Cruiser are all on the same platforms right? Because they're all on Toyota Global TNGA platforms, just different variations, but that doesn't matter according to you right? Good try tho?
Good race! 392 for the win! I find the "if it was a e63 it would've won", "with a tune that e53 would eat it" comments very funny. Stock vs stock that car is already $35,000 more...you guys find anything to distract from a loss
An actual argument would be that the e53 would beat it around a track with proper turns unless it's maybe Monza or something. End of the day both cars are awesome
That AMG53 vs a Hemi V8 is impressive!! This is why I have so much admiration for the AMG series, especially the AMGE63. The better race would be the E63.
Interesting race. I have a 2018 Scatpack Challenger with a full magnaflow exhaust (obviously no HP gain there the car just breathes better and I love it in the cold) but my roomate has a stock 2012 E63 AMG Mercedes which is a V8 Biturbo and unless I get a perfect launch he beats me every time. I get ahead and we stay neck and neck for a bit but he slowly moves ahead. When it comes to a roll I can beat him again with a perfect downshift but 8 times out of 10 I’ll be ahead, we get neck and neck, then he slowly pulls ahead. Props to MOPAR and Dodge but It’s honestly awesome what German engineering has done with their cars.
E Class did really well with slightly more weight and less power. I'm sure an older E63 with the NA V8 would mop up a 392 fairly easy. Current E63 would be unfair.

392's have a bad launch. I out ran one in my 2011 TL 3.5 for about 300ft (in sport mode), then he caught up with me. 😎👍🏿. Still felt good to get out ahead on him.. this was a Good race
The original LX chassis from 2005 was in fact an all Chrysler design. It was designed to share MB parts like the the rear suspension, steering, A580 5 speed among others and some electronics. It had been revised in 2011 and dubbed LD. There is probably still some minor parts interchangeability, but it's always been very much a Chrysler designed chassis. Other than weight, and loosing AWD from anything Hemi powered when the 8spd debuted, it's still a perfectly fine chassis and still selling well, basically printing money for Stellantis.
Dodge does not build their car on the same chassis as that Mercedes. The Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 use the old Mercedes from the late 90s.The chassis between those two vehicles is not the same. This was in part due to the fact back in the late 90s early 2000s Diamler Chrysler was one entity.
Why would you use track mode for the charger? Track mode removes traction and would hinder a launch. Track mode is for a "track". You need as much traction as possible for a 1/4 mile race.
Good race! This just shows that E63 would walk on that Charger. There have been 3 versions of the Eclass since The MB/Chrysler merger dissolved. So it's not the same chassis. Even back then it was mostly suspension related overlap. Fun fact, the outgoing Grand Cherokee/Durango are old school MB Mclass chassis.

You falsified the race.
the first race you went 10/10. second race you shorted 3rd which bogged 4th. you did it again in the roll. shorted 3rd which bogged 4th. for viewers that dont believe me time the first 2 ending 4th gear. second race was longer in e53.
you can hear the power drop in 4th and it struggling to climb out of low rev.
also it looks as if you have sport exhaust. was it turned on?
Which one would be the better car to have if they are both 2021/2022? I'm interested in getting a car and these two have been at the top of my list. I like the luxury part of the Mercedes, but I want a big body car. And if I were to get the scat pack it would be widebody
Comes down to you. Price is nowhere comparable imo.
They cater to two different markets.
I think you know what side I stand on, with V8s going extinct the value of my car keeps increasing.
@@MrM4rvelous this was my exact thinking. Thanks for solidifying my choice for me. Plus I save like $20k lol
@@jzman222 sure np! Would love to see it when you get it
Torque was what made the difference. Mercedes had less torque than the dodge.
Here we go.. MOPAR, MOPAR, MOPAR!!!
He said the Mercedes is turbo charged and supercharged. Its a turbo charged inline 6 cylinder with eq hybrid. This guy know nothing about Mercedes
Really first of all he doesn't have a tire he is spinning. Put a tire on it so he can get the power to the ground won't be no gapping like that guarantee
Also, not all 392 chargers are the same. I have the lightest version scat pack with cloth seats, no sun roof and no bells and whistles.
I have mine with no rear seats, no A/C, no radio
I have mine with rear seat delete, exhaust delete, engine delete, wheels delete, it’s the lightest thing out there
Scat packs were rated one of the top 10 getaway cars for bank robberys lol
@@Gaptv1320 source? Just curious
@@infosneakr search "top 10 getaway cars" on Google and it will give a list of 10 cars and youll see charger In there as top 9. Your welcome
Good race
The guy in the charger doesn't look like hes having fun why is he so serious
Scatpack vs s7 c7.5 v8
Amg53 held its own if that 53 goEs well against a V8 a dig AMG 53 if tune well it will destroy it
It’s just not fair to race in all wheel drive car against a challenger or charger
The price on that E53 is crazy lmao no wonder yall are salty
I don't believe that Dodge is stock.
Believe it bub, I'm the owner of that vehicle and it has zero performance modifications aside from a strut tower brace.
@@MrM4rvelous Hard to believe kiddo, but I guess your car could be a factory freak. Normally, you shouldn't be able to pull on a E53 AMG. I still have doubts that your car is stock.
@@billybones2385 well alright, pal you're entitled to your opinion regardless I hope you enjoyed the vid and if not...thanks for watching!
no replacement for displacement
Would take the E53 over charger
E ..53 (?!) AMG?! wtf is that, some low budget e63 amg ..build specific for that franco-british colony?!
You gotta do a race with v8s only. Mercedes’ is nice but you can’t mess with dodge you already know. The dodges do have a lot of wheels spins but they are great on rolls. They have a good amount of weight also.
The 392 won by a tiny margin
@@SamCarLegion yeah it did, you should do a race but with more ground then you can see the real difference between the cars.
@@Youcallthesebagels_ 🧢 did a run with a 55 and literally side by side.
2nd run, he catch you early because you shift from 3th gear to 4th so early otherwise he will not catch you.
It’s in auto, he wasn’t shifting, so that excuse doesn’t work…..
@@marcohinojosa4348 Actually, if you listen to him, he said “it (HUD) tells me exactly when to shift”. He was using the paddle shifters, and he DID shift early from 3rd to 4th which let the Charger catch up.
@@re14437 exactly, charger barely win run race from 50km no way he would catch it like that way
@@re14437 That was during the roll racing, manual mode. Original posters comment is about the second race from a dig, which was still in automatic sport plus.
@@MrM4rvelous I am talking about the second race. Listen for the short shift from 3rd to 4th. He does that every so often to keep things interesting and drive engagement/comments.
The coupe e53 would’ve won since its less weight
