Driver error. That car is fully capable of outhandling and outgripping a s2000.
of course driver error. However, that car is a friggin beast to drive if you don't know what you're doing, the front end plows like a mack truck, and then the rear likes to snap oversteer.

Yes, of course, but only in the hands of a capable driver.

I'm willing to bet that most Viper drivers bought the thing for status and shaming others at stoplights.

I'm curious as to why a Viper would be so prone to understeer.

An AI driver? Sweet. That's a pretty cool series. My roommate and I have kicked around the idea of getting into it sometime...or AIX if we had the financing to.

At a guess, 8.0L engines aren't exactly light.
