Default GT3 RS vs Viper vs Z06

Well not entirely.
But the RS does make a cameo.

Too bad it's such an effort to drive in the real world, just like all the previous Vipers. At least this one handles!

They should have included a GT 2 in the comparison, IMHO.
The Red viper on slicks!

I had a 2013 Viper and it was my daily. I put nearly 8k kilometers driving it in Toronto. It wasn't a problem for me at all. The clutch is way lighter than you would expect. The only downside is the visibility was poor.

A bit off topic, but what were the first gen Viper cars like? Besides the crude interior and the lack of a real roof and side glass!!

I'm feeling a very strong urge to do down to Peel Chrysler and order an ACR with the same colour combo as that one. Just epic!

To answer your question...go drive a Cobra replica. That's pretty much it. By Gen III though, despite still being pretty raw, it's livable. Although on the rutted Gardiner with those massive tires skipping about it feels like you're going 200+ even at 90 km/h...no stability control until the most recent generation so your right foot and your brain are the only thing between you and being ***-up in a ditch. Fun stuff!

I am pretty sure the power was understated from the factory....

Have a custom exhaust designed and installed by EU Autowerks, for added sound
and pretty sure more power. Wevo engine mounts, lightweight battery,
Aftermarket rims for weight savings,
Alignment and track setup by EU Autowerks, car is just brilliant to drive on track.

Pretty much, a few suspension bits. Car comes from the factory with coilovers, ceramic brakes.
According to Champion I do not have an ECU flash, and all diagnostic tests done here showed nothing as well. I'm pretty sure it's fast due to the fact that I have Overrevs! OMG you have Overrevs, OMG!

LOL
