Viper Alley - Dodge Viper Forum -SRT Viper
lots of info there from real owners.
I've rode shotgun in a couple around road courses, on the same track day as driving my '82 SC, so back to back I was able to compare both, as I was in intermediate class and he was in advanced, about 20 minute sessions.
I'd love to have a Viper, serious. I've worshiped them since they've come out. I have the 4x4 Truck version in a long bed ram. The torque is phenomenal
that said, on the track, the Viper pushed HARD in the corners, even with it's aluminum block that V10 up front is heavy.
So way different it having major under steer, pushing, compared to the over steer pendulum effect of "lifting throttle in the corner and the back end gets real light" of the Porsche 911.
the Viper is what it is, raw pure horsepower. No it's not a refined corvette that owners want traction control and the onboard HAL 9000.
daily driver maybe not,
but something to orgasm everytime you punch it...........I had a ride in a '96 Blue/White once, torque hits hard off the line and we got up to 55 mph.............THEN he shifted out of first gear..........
true story.
