    It sure is! I enjoy everything about this car. Was finally able to try it out at a track at the viper experience. Man that was a lot of fun!!! The car handles awesome! Had a blast at Vegas speedway. I was able to get the fastest lap time of the group and was only slower than the instructor by .02 hundredth of a second around the autocross!!!

    I am in the same boat. I had tracked the Viper before but never been on an autocross and it gave me a whole new appreciation for its handling capabilities. What an amazing car. I ended up winning the day before you. They'll have to do a Viper Experience all stars event in a few years.

    Rapidrezults... That's awesome man! You guys left those viper with chunks missing off the tires. They had to put new ones on mid day. It was a great event. What time did you run? I managed a 29.87 and Ricky (the instructor) did 29.85.

    The best I was able to get was a 30.1, hammers (instructor) best was a 30.06. I know the other instructor got a 29.9 that day. We laid the rubber down the day before so you guys could get better times. Lol. 29.87 is screamin' fast! Congrats! Which car did you like better, the '15 white w/stripes or the red? (assuming they used the same cars)

    Nice man!! It rained the night before, so the rubber washed away J.K. lol... Yea we used the same cars. I ran the fastest times in the white with black stripes. The cars take a beating all day long but continue running strong.

    I Love the Rosary beads hanging from the rear-view, as if to say:

    "Hang on, and Say Your Prayers!"

    -or-

    "Our Prayers have been Answered!"



    And those of you who get within .1 of Hammer or Ricky on same-day drives have my respect!

    My new claim to fame? I was on the podium with Rapidrezults. lol.. Came in 3rd with a 30.6 First time driving auto-x & was really surprised how much fun it is, especially in there viper's. The 3 mile road course was also Big fun! It still amazes me how reliable theses vipers are. Running all day long, bouncing off the rev limiter & never over heating or under performing what so ever. Hats off to Viper Experience for providing a bucket list event!

    Honestly, I thought the video review was way off base. The guy said that on the track, pushing the car would be scary, but it was stable in a straight line. ALL cars are stable in a straight line. I think that the genius of a viper is that it is SO stable on the track at high speeds. The Viper is a road racing car, not a dragster. Come to VIR in June for the Viper Days event and learn how to drive the beast.
