You always have to be aware when driving cars like that.

Lightweight, big power, RWD, minimal electronic nannies can mean disaster.

+1 to this, not a great time to be driving a viper out there


OP: Sorry to be offtopic but what kind of dash cam setup do you have. I noticed you have a rear camera as well?

Vipers tend to get wrecked when it rains.

Vipers are too light in the rear and too heavy up front IMO. I have driven a friend's Viper on numerous occasions (including the ACR) around a race-track and it is impossibly hard to handle even on a dry circuit... with R-compounds, lol... BUT it was so much fun!

I would never drive the Viper OR a Z06/ZR1 Vette for that matter, unless it is mid July with sun scorching the asphalt, lol.
