I've seen quite a few wrecked Vipers as I'm sure you all have too. I've owned my Viper (supercharged) for 3 months, but only driven it for 20 minutes (another story) and will soon be home with it in a week...YEEEAAA!!!!
With all the wrecked Vipers (some being brand new) I'm a little concerned and don't want mine to end up that way. Keep in mind that none of the owners believed it would happen to them either, or they wouldn't have made whatever mistake they did.
How are most of these people wrecking their Vipers? I know the first thing that will come to a lot of your minds is stupidity, and I'm sure this makes up a percentage. But what is commonly going wrong? Is it accelerating too much in a turn? Running out of road too quickly or miscalculating deceleration distances? Combo of wet weather and too much use of power (doubtful)? Drag racing and end up 180 or 360 degrees before they knew what hit them?
I just don't want to become a statistic. What close calls or mishaps have you guys (and girls) had that we can learn from? What was the root cause of the failure?
Thanks...
