I think you need to learn control of your Viper over a range of speed. Yes start with a car control clinic, graduate up to a few Autocross courses to learn lower speed control, then try out a road course. The correction speed and smoothness requirement is different at different speeds and the lower the speed to start off with the quicker it is to learn and the more time you have to correct it. These are basically race cars for the street and the sooner you know what the car it trying to tell you the more time you have to correct the problem. The biggest thing the new owner needs to learn is check the ego, this car won't save you, you need to know what not to do and how to tell the car what to do when it starts to go wrong. Understand the stick your tires will provide and not asking them to do too much at one time, breaking and turning and accelerating and turning apply greater stress that just asking for one thing at a time.
