I haven't driven a Viper, but I don't need to. I've been in many Viper discussions over at carforums, and all the info that has accumulated there tells me what I need to know.
I like TVRs, they're great cars, but don't start saying Vipers are toys for the wealthy and claim that they "suck ass".
You say its handling bites. Thats nonsense. That "big ass" 8 liter V10 isn't actually very big or heavy, and is set back far enough to give the car perfect weight distribution.
Comparing the Viper to a little tuner car like the ZZ2 is ludicrous.
Oh, and I just watched GT racing and a Viper beat the Speed 12.
