In my opinion, the viper should'nt even be called a sports car. I saw a documentary on t.v about the dodge viper, and I was suprised at how that car is built, from what I've heard, it's a dodge ram engine blueprint, just re-designed with 2 extra cylenders and it's built with a mostly fiberglass body. Fiberglass body, an it's still that heavy. I don't wanna mention hp per liter, people are tired of hearin that $hit, you already know what kind of hp per liter the viper has.
Back to my main subject, the viper shouldnt be called a sports car because, well, porsches are faster, and so are ferrari's. And don't tell me that vipers cost less, I already know that and that doesnt matter, price aside. The reason I don't like the viper is because of the terrible handling. Handleing is a sports-car trait which the viper lacks. And how much R&D is behind the vipers engine? Not as much as a porsche, that's for sure.
