Are there fixes for the reported "snap oversteer"? One answer I'we gotten is that the Motons improve the feedback and make the car behave better when the oversteer happens.
I found this in an epinions review:
"The addition of the Quaife made cornering performance even better, and eliminated the occasional snap oversteer induced by the stock Dana speed sensing unit."
Any truth to this? If yes, how much truth?
Thanks!

Definitely true. This is why the new Viper will have an improved differential. On existing Vipers, a Quaiffe will solve most of the problem. But remember, part of the snap oversteer problem is caused by the car's huge low end torque and giving it too much throttle on corner exit. Scarey when it happens.
The Viper doesn't have any snap oversteer. Snap oversteer is a term applied when the suspension can no longer articulate and the car swaps ends because one of the tires (or ends) is ask to do too much work too quickly.
All the Viper is going to do is accentuate your habits...good or bad. It's exactly what a good driver should ask for out of every chassis.
Here again is a good solution to this problem even more so for you few that actually drive in the rain. Racelogic traction control systems are by far the most cost effective way to combat this tendancy in any car. See more info here: Traction Control Woodhouse Dodge Viper SRT.
