Why did they have to drive a Viper in the snow? That is going to create an uproar among the faithful! This car should only be capable of being driven on sunny summer days!!! What's next after ESC, all season tires??? OMG

Even with ESC the Viper would be a ***** in the snow.
I've driven mine in the snow - that was an experience!

I think it's pretty impressive that they were even able to get the Viper up to speed in the snow with the torque and wide tires. That had to be a blast.

Agreed. Maybe now people will realize the 2013 Viper is going to happen.

That's packed snow on a track or other closed course. Even if and when they spin out, not going to hit or break anything. Now, try that where I live, with steep hills and unplowed side roads, it's another story, ESC or not!
