Ok that's just bad ass! Sure, the grown up in me likes to see a perfect launch with no appreciable wheel spin. But the little kid in me wants to smoke 'em sideways!

 

[Policy Limits]

my stability & traction controls are staying on...i dont think its cool to not be in control at all times...esp at high speeds

 

[Makara]

Is that Mullholland Drive or Angeles Crest?

 

[denniskgb]

one wrong move and this viper would have 15 min of fame at the bottom of this mountain.

 

[VENOM V]

Darn grown ups!!! Spoiling all the fun

 

[TrackAire]

Looks like that was the third take....practice makes perfect.

Nice find,

Cheers,

That,s all good, but while all that spinning and wheel hop is going on, the AWD Turbo Cars will be gone....

 

[Indy]

Judging by the tire marks, they have done it a few times....hopefully they all follow the curves by the end of the shoot and not straight down a cliff....

 

[AJ usmc]

did I hear a turbo whistle around the 9sec mark?

 

[99 R/T 10]

How come they wouldn't let me drive the mules like that at VOI????????????

Is that Mullholland Drive or Angeles Crest?

This looks like Stunt Road (appropriate name, no?) in the Santa Monica Mountains, on the backside from Malibu. I took my Viper up there many times, it reminded me a bit of Hill Climb races in the Alps in my native Europe where I grew up.

Here is a video of a motorcycle riding up Stunt Road: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2N6nwDjscQ

Enjoy, it is a really beautiful stretch of road and a great place to give the Viper a workout, I sure did and had a blast every time.

Only problem: revenuers know it is like shooting fish in a barrel, it is a very popular spot among real car and bike guys on weekends in SoCal.

I like the reactions of the camera crew in the background.

I always thought control at all times was the driver's job, not a computer.
