A M3 with 343 hp has the same laptime as the Viper in this test.
Come on a 343 hp car same time as the Viper, nah this Viper wasnt healthy.
...well, the editor isn´t very satisfied with handling of the Viper, steering is awful - it has a dangerous tendency to surprisedly change from under - to oversteering, with little feel to control it...

^that´s the reason for the bad lap time...

MB for me, thank you. It might cost twice more than the Viper, but it is ten times the car (not only a mere twice ). It does everything. If it only came with a manual option......
