Pretty well balanced and a lot of power, but very heavy feeling.

I had the opportunity to drive one at Putnam Park once. In my 911 I could barely top 125mph on the front straight if I got a good line through the previous corner (~1:25-1:26 laptimes, not great, but OK). In the Viper (student's car) I was staying away from the railing and short shifting the car and hit that speed waaaaaaay before the braking point. I just let off and coasted to my braking point from there. I can't afford to write that check.

This was an early model where they still had the throttle sync problems and lots of other problems. It was a fun car.

I caught a ride in an ACR coupe later in the day. I think he turned a 1:17. It was fast and unbelievable. Love to have one, but missing the $80k in my bank account. I'm pretty sure if I had the money I'd just backdate my SC with a 3.6 and build a nice big garage........
