Lol, watch this review. The "hard to drive fast" stuff came from a test of pre-production car that had a toed out rear tire and unbedded brakes. The car in this test is a post-production car (the ones customers actually receive) with all the kinks worked out. I'm not saying it's easy to drive, but it's no harder than any other high-hp, high-torque, relatively lightweight RWD car. At least it has traction control, unlike my now sold 996 GT2!

Bottom line is the new viper lost in a comparo to an out of production Corvette ZR-1 and after specifically gunning for it barely beat it . It's fastest TA version also was less than a second faster at VIR vs the Camaro Z28 . The C7 Z06 will destroy it on track . Hell I wouldn't be surprised if the base viper wasn't faster than a C7 Z51 . Dodge screwed up for the price pretty bad initially and that's why it sat on lots and sales will continue to be low once the Z06 comes out .
