I have never driven a viper. I would guess with the gazillion pound feet of torque you could just release the clutch at idle and then give it gas to go.

I drove a friends Spridget (part Austin Healey Sprite and part MG Midget) and it had a modified engine with no torque at all down in low RPM. It would rev up and make a little power but it was a challenge to get rolling without clutch slip or killing the engine.
