Actually that viper only gets the pass and stays ahead due to horsepower…

The STi is out braking him in every corner, catching up by carlengths and more at times until the viper can get back on power.

So if you want to argue that a track prepped viper will beat a stockish STi on the track, i would definately agree with you.

i was bout to say that, but viper would handle better even if power was the same, rear wheel driver is coupe bigger tires and lighter body.

anywayz, viper sick as hell the way he passed him, lol

p.s. i used to drive a viper on my old job car is really really scary i only w.o.t 4 times just to test but it moves like a mother leaving a big trail behind, that car would eat my old c4 for lunch.

Holy shit! that’s exactly what happened. How did u guess?

Ask the yellow GTS driver at BMW GVC last August how he managed to lose nearly half a track lead in ~8 laps…

The car is very capable of being a very good performer in any type of racing event (auto-x, road course, drag) and A viper performing poorly in any of those can mostly be blamed on driver error/incompetance. (Not saying it’s the best, just saying it’ll be good)

rj-92: that Viper had a sucky driver. 😉
