I know most of you are going to say, take a good driving school and then you'll learn. I'm not really in a position to get out of town due to responsibilities present. I live in an area that is not in the middle of nowhere, but you can see it from here.

When cornering at high speed usually I approach the corner wide, break a little to set the car, turn in gently and then apply the accelerator to try to balance the front and rear tires. On the Viper I've noticed that it tends to understeer when I do this. I've got the larger front tires, which seemed to help.

What I've noticed is that if I just barely have my foot on the accelerator the car seems to hold the corner much better.

My question is how much are most of you on the accelerator in the turns. I realize the Viper is a pretty torque car. The last car I had was the Porsche TT and when you gave it a little gas it sort of pulled you through the corner.

This is just sort of a posting for general comments regarding handling.
