yeh i cant drive for anything, lets go to a track and check times... Ive driven many of vipers and they handle horrible, and now that ive had much track time and am pretty good, they are still horrible but are really fun to drive and push to the edge. But they are ridiculous for anything other then kickin around on a track, and thinking you look cool

im at willow everyother week.... oh trust me when i first started driving i almost killed my self in turn 8 i have no fear and now that im pretty good its nothing, and i dont need to own a viper i have been in enough kid so move on i think they suck end of story and ill out drive you in my lil piece of sh*t project car. then do it in a gt3 or 430, i dont know why you feel you think your cool to talk all this crap when you have no idea who is on the opposite end of the line grow up, my opinion is my opinion nothing is gonna change that i dont like the car i dont like driving it except beating around a track to the limit just for kicks but other than that it all ends there. im not the best driver but im decent and i have the ***** and the skill, to get the job done well, so come to a track day just me and you when we rent it out for testing. but until then keep your opinions and stop the elementary BS

Maybe if you spoke a bit more coherently or with merit people would take you seriously.

The one thing I can admire about the Viper is that it turned from concept to reality in an extremely short amount of time. How concept cars have you guys seen that you would buy on the spot if it became production? I can think of many, a recent one is the W12 VW Golf concept, but they just sort grab your attention and create a bunch of hoopla and then die off and get thrown in the corner of a warehouse somewhere.
Dodge, a company that wasn't in the best financial standing at the time, turned the Viper from concept to reality in something like a year or 16 months, and that has to be applauded.

I race a GT3 cup and when I saw my Vipers suspension I was shocked at how much better it is designed than the Porsche, which uses lousy geometry struts up front and not that much better in the rear. But the Porsche is tweeked by the best and they handle pretty well
I have yet to take my Viper on the track but if I could set it up a bit I don't see why it would not handle as well as a Porsche. Braking is another thing though
