so do most race cars. do they handle like pigs?
highly unlikely...

have you driven one, ridden in one?

:finger: I saw Motor Trend Television comparison between Cobra R, Z06 and the RT/10...the RT/10 sucked, it understeered and simultaneously over steered, it sucked! I never saw an $80,000 pile of crap "sports car" handle so bad on a roadcourse. That RT/10 is only good for morons like Charlie Sheen, that seek attention, and cruise for hoes. Some sports car.

so you haven't driven one?

they said it did both at the same time?

:huh: < this is me finding that hard to believe..

and if i remember correctly, the course they used was very small, very twisty, and had short straights...

they used a silver gts coupe, yes?

I didn't say that! I'm not giving my personal opinion.

I taped that MT episode, I know what that test driver (Johnny Knoxville look alike) said.

Yeah, and boy did it suck! Even the Mustang smoked it!

they also said that the viper was not at home on the track, that it was a pretty small track for that car.

you can't just pick and choose what you heard...

there's more to it than the car not handling well

:finger: < and that, to me is offensive, for my asking a question.
is unappreciated...

I didn't say that! I'm not giving my personal opinion.

you haven't driven one, so you're basing your opinion/information on one show that you saw... which is the same show i saw, and yet i remember that the driver noted that the track didn't do anything to show the viper's better traits... hmm...

selective vision?

[flylwsi]

The Viper RT/10 handles like a pig

by the way, i doubt they said that in motor trend, so i'm assuming it's your opinion, no?

a little cartoon offends you?

[flylwsi]

the reason for using it offends me.
i very rarely use the icons there, b/c they would offend me, b/c they denote the nature or attitude you post with.

therefore...
i'm offended by it.

anything else?

No, that was the impression I got from the testdrive report. Just like you getting offended by a little green guy, I find the little green guy funny. People see things in different ways.

I saw what I saw, a pathetic RT/10 going around the turns like a staggering hippo while the Corvette and a Mustang looked like they where riding on rails, they didn't have problems with the "track being too small". (I hope you get offended)

[flylwsi]

you're a child.

the point is that they (motor trend) noted that the track was short, windy, etc. and did not help the viper's handling.

they did not say, nor imply, that it handled like a pig.

that, my friend, is your derived opinion.

go drive one and tell me if it's a pig to you.

as we all know, different sport cars are designed for different types of race tracks. for example. on a tight twisty small track, a evo would leave almost anything else for dead. a medium sized track, the skyline would leave almost anything else for dead. on a long big track, a nsx would leave almost anything for dead. each different track layout shows the strenght and weakness for each car. some cars were designed to race on that specific type of track. that track was obviously too small for the viper to be in. and about what Tiff said about the TVR. heh i didn't know that he was comparing it those cars. but now that you said that it was compared to the likes of the super exotics, i take it back, TVR all the way baby.
