american cars are nice and good but against italians and germans europe dominates

american cars are nice and good but against italians and germans europe dominates
At the world's biggest racetrack; the 12.9 mile Nurburgring Nordschliefe in Germany; the
Dodge Viper is the only American car to win the overall event; the 24 hours of Nurburgring.
This event is one of the greatest "benchmarks" in sports cars. The Viper was so DOMINANT in
its first season that it won every single race of the German GT championship by a "wide
margin". Since then, the sanctioning body have continually restricted the Viper to "slow it
down"! The sanctioning body couldn't tolerate seeing the Viper take three overall victories
so they imposed an engine displacement limit of 6.2 litres. That meant removing two of the
Viper's ten cylinders before it was allowed to compete, which it did ,coming in second place
with class victories.

Of the cars on the list I had to go with the Porsche and it was close between that and the F430. Had you used the ACR Viper instead of the SRT I would have picked the Viper.

The car you're referring to is the Oreca Viper GTS-R and can't be compared with ANY production Viper.

I'm quite aware of what the ORECA Viper is, and I was not doing a "Viper" comparison. As you'd prefer that I should distinguish between it and "production" Vipers it will be my pleasure. Tom Coronel, the Dutch driver for Peter Zakowski's Zakspeed Viper in the last two 24-hour races at Nurburgring, drove the street legal, Detroit built, Viper ACR to a lap of seven minutes, twenty-two point one seconds, (7:22.1) around the Nordschliefe.
This is a full two seconds faster than Maserati's MC12 at 7:24.29; the Pagani Zonda at 7:24.65; three seconds faster than the Ferrari Enzo at 7:25.21; six seconds faster than the Porche Carrera at 7:28.71. This event was sponsered by Chrysler and witnessed by two guys from Motor Trend and covered by German television. I'm sure that after seeing how the American produced Viper performed at their "esteemed" raceway, certain egos weren't feeling quite so..."dominant".
