When the Viper was introduced it was a 'halo' car: something to make people think Chrysler had products worth examining. Let's not forget that this was still the era of the dreaded "K-car". Part of the engineering justification was learning how to work with composites that led to the...
Let me get this straight.... 180 MPH on a public street. Then followed by 200 mph on the same street in a car with no roll bars. And the entire sum of the skill involved is... pressing a pedal three inches?

Have fun. We'll be at Summit Point with the FFR Spec Cobra and the wife's 944 Cup car for a little practice. We'll be back at VIR at the end of the month.

As for driving the Viper or the Vette at it's limits.... I might take minor exception. In my mind, the Viper is easier to drive at the absolute...
