Sloppy driving. This guy's braking and shifting were so badly timed entering turns that he misses the apex the majority of the time, in some cases almost missing the entire turn. The Viper stays true to its character; if you're not skilled enough it will try and toss you out. This one looked like it wanted to kill 'em. With that said, I still want one.

what. this guy is dealing with corner entry understeer...and being close to or on the limit, he's deciding between managing the rear end or managing the front end. he opted to keep the back end planted and dealt with the understeer instead of getting the car all unsettled. Given the power and oldschool nature of the car, i think he drove it well. i emplore any of these armchair racers to try and drive something high torque + rwd even remotely this fast. this isn't gran turismo, boys.
@PianoWolf74

I have driven my good friend's Viper GTS launch edition. Yes it has plenty of torque, but it also has more than enough grip when turning so long as you don't wait to the damn near last second to brake and you don't try using all the power exiting. @1:20 The driver in the video is coming in too hot. He's braking and downshifting all while mid-turn so he didn't have both hands on the wheel(mistake). He knew what he did wrong and you can see his frustration in it. A cleaner lap could have gotten another 1/2 - 1 sec off the lap time easy. Lastly with my own driving experience, I also am a fan of the Gran Turismo series and believe that it does an pretty good job at recreating vehicle tendencies. So don't count those armchair racers out.

I'm sorry but this should not qualify was a lightning lap. There are tons of driver error in this. Not saying I would do better, and I understand the viper is a tricky vehicle to drive, but this isn't fair to SRT or the viper to label this the fastest that this car can go around that track. Loads of accelerator input when he should be coasting, turning in too early, a constant error messing up the driver's line throughout the whole video. No disrespect to the driver, but the viper should get a re-do.

The engine and gearbox are no jewels exactly and the chassis is no where near being good (compared to the new Stingray for example). And there are so many design mistakes in this car which is why nobody buys it. I guess only a pro can drive it fast safely and that only on a track.

What exactly in the video showed why nobody buys the Viper? And what exactly is wrong with the engine? It couldn't be it's weight since it's 130 lbs lighter than the GTR's engine as well as less than the Vettes engine(120 lbs?). It's also naturally aspirated with a torque curve that's as flat as your sister. Did you just pull some shit out of your ass that sounded good in your head?

thybigballs Hard to control when driving fast. That is what was obvious at least to me. Maybe a pro driver can control it better. It's not exactly a sports car for the average driver. And all the design mistakes that you can hear about in all test drives are the reasons nobody buys the car. Plus it's way too expensive for what it offers. Reminds more of the not so good designed super cars of the 70:s.
