Man, that 1.00 g on the skidpad seems so extreme to me. I'd rather just have an audi station wagon with all wheel drive. I'd feel safer turning.
Man, I would HATE To have that car. I mean, who really wants to do 190? Shit. Add drag tires and you would have a competent drag racer, add slicks and you could have a strong autocross car.
I would much rather have an all wheel drive car and go to the twisties and brag about how my car is "SOOO much faster" than the viper. :rollseyes:
[/sarcasm]
I grow weary of the viper haters out there. It's faster than 98% of ALL other production cars to date, so get the fuck over it. That includes the corvette. Seriously. There is absolutely nothing wrong or substandard about the vipers engineering (with the exception of an underpowered-for-size engine, which is for safeties sake) , period. I don't care how much it costs, there is other cars that cost more, and not all domestics are pieces of slow junk.
Sure, there is some modified civics that could beat a viper in a drag race, and we've all seen the videos. Everyone also note that these same civics are running drag slicks and the vipers are running unaggressive street radials.

My favorite part of this is the engineering bit....
WELL
Obviously you haven't driven in one while staying in Arizona....
When you run the exhaust pipes next to the doors in such a fashion...
It adds heat to the main 'cabin' if you will
I'd call that an engineering flaw
Anything else, yes, vipers are fun
