Why is this thing so hard to drive? Every one says it's

because its a snek

can you handle your dick when you see a sexy ladi?

It's not. Randy Pobst has already stated that the Viper is actually easy to drive. It's just that no Viper owner would ever admit to that.

>rwd with a truck engine up front
gee I wonder.
Apparently the 2016 has a lot more downforce though

>>14216529
This, people realise dodge took a diesel truck engine, converted it to petrol and slapped it in that car right?

>>14216499
Any smaller tires in the rear and it would literally become undriveable because 8.4L Torque.

Tame the traction, give it Aero and it becomes a 50/50 Weight distribution RWD Track Driver's true dream machine, as evidenced by the ACR.

Viper V10 !== truck V10
You can't cal them the same thign especially after Lamborghini basically reengineered the entire thing

American suspension geometry.

You didn't see the Snek BTFO the Vette by 3 seconds?

Randy starts driving it around 7:20

The Head2Head with the zo6 vs the viper acr

>>14216499

Experienced drivers find them pretty tame due to the easy torque curve.

Its kind of like a Hayabusa, people love to talk up how its a beast to ride due to the power but in reality that fat as fuck torque curve means that you dont need to wring it out and live on teh edge and actually at 8/10th its very easy to ride.

Vipers are the same.

>>14216549
His half ass, Randy said the ACR is comparably easy to drive to the base and TA Viper. A Viper with no Aero is much more of a handful like the new Z06.

>>14216506
he was talking about the current gen snek tho, right?

>>14216551
it's still a big ol' mass of metal with a lot of inertia

>>14216554
>>14216549
Oh, and later on, one other presenter describes it handling like "a big spec Miata"

Earlier ones were lightweight, rwd, powerful, and didn't have bullshit fag electronics like traction control.

>>14216580


Fuck yeah.

Agreed.

>>14216506
I love Randy and all but
>one of the best professional racecar drivers in the world said that this car is easy to drive
gee anon, it's almost like we're all dagumis who race down the toegay during our daily commute

>>14216551
Lamborghini didn't do jack shit, the only thing they helped with was casting the block in Aluminum. The Viper V10 is an extended LA V8, this is a fact.

>>14216586

Thats like saying:

"One of the best chefs in the world says this food is yummy."

Pretty sure he'd know.

>Lamborghini didn't do jack shit, the only thing they helped with was casting the block in Aluminum
So that covers designing heads from the ground up?

>>14216543
You're an idiot.

>>14216617
Most of what Lamborghini redesigned in the Block and Heads were thrown out of the design when it came back to the Engies at Chrysler because in their view it had no consideration for low end Torque, Produce-ability, or Reliability. They also didn't like the fact that it was to be sleeveless.

The Chrysler Engies took it to themselves to wipe the slate mostly clean and finish Lamborghini's magnificence which they wrongly saw as crap.

This is why the original engine only had 400 hp. It was tuned for Torque and reliability.

Eh Chrysler, should have listened to LamboBull senpai.

I love Snek anyhow.
