yeah, heavy weight straight line only car, eh? Last time I checked, Vipers are damn fast around a track too; with wily oversteer handling.

The longer you people think this way, the more I'll ingrain it in every thread about M3's, Zonda's, Ferraris, etc. etc. etc.

the ignorance is just simply appalling
I was talking about the old Viper Nth not the Srt :roll:
Oh, I guess your right, that old viper is slow around a track too, and is only good for straight lines :roll: Find me an M3 that handles better then the old Viper GTS... sure, a porsche will... and a ZR1 is near equal, as is Ferrari.
