He should known...it's a damn Viper for Christ's sake! They have the worst suspenion ever and lose control easy as hell. They are only meant for straight lines...a Hugo would take a Viper on the curves!

I have seen quite a few Vipers at the track and they do just fine. This is just a driver error nothing more.

They do ok on the track ( im talking about the international racing series that vipers race in) They do very well on straight stretches but they do get eaten up by vettes, porsches and audis!

I hear you, but if that guy were driving a Porsche or Audi he still would have gone off. Driver error not car

Huh? Instructing at a Viper CLub track day I found the car quite easy to drive. Granted I only got it up to about 140 on the back straight at Portland, but what do I know?

That women screaming was the icing on the cake, driver error, he panic, stood on the brakes and locked up. Shame because the viper could have made that corner with a better driver.

I would take a viper over a 7 any day of the week.

But the 7 is a better car for my price range
