there is no pt debating with you because you really don't know what you are talking about.....

First you make invalid and unsubstantiated claims. When I respond you question my experience and then casually dismiss the whole thing. This is a predictable formula.
I didn't say that the Viper is easier to drive [at the limit].
I did say that it was easier to turn comparable lap times with it. It has much greater outright performance. That is objective fact. This is in no small part due to massive downforce that gives it tremendous stability and fast-corner grip.
Driving the Porsche at 10/10th's to get the best possible lap time is no easy task either. The point I am making is that driving the Viper at 8 or 9 tenths will result in a comparable lap time. That can be achieved with less aggressive throttle input and all the drama that would go along with that.
Joe Average can push hard in the Porsche to turn his best time. Then he can hop in the Viper and leave a greater margin for error to achieve the same result.

where did you read this? the only scary porsches are GT2s and certain GT3s. the rest, no. it'll be easier to come out of a corner FASTER in a porsche than a viper. (and easier to drive, period)

This is total and utter bullshit.
If this M3 goes into production... if it does.... I highly doubt the wing will still be there, especially not colour matched.

totally agree....996 GT2s are almost as scary to drive as first gen 911 turbos.....

^ great vid.....I wonder how the GTS would fare against a GT3? The RS will definitely be faster.

I wonder how the Viper ACR would fare against the M3 GTS.
