The Viper has not been tested to date, but by this I'd say that the Lotus Exige (U.S. version of the Elise) is in some pretty good company. There is also a video out that shows a Exige beating a Porsche GT3 and a Ferrari F-50, sure on the straights the other two have the edge but the Exige out handles them both. The Viper doesn't hold a candle, a large front engine rear drive, versus tiny mid-engine rear drive built for performance handling....I dare say you stand corrected sir.
