Very nice vid. Interesting that he found the vette to be easier to drive. The other reviews I've read on the 08 viper say it's easier to drive then the z06. Still it's nice to see what they are capable of when taken to the limit.

Both are badass cars. It is a great time to be a car enthusiast.

I have the suspension alligned agressively so it turns better, but drives a bit twitchy. It was my car he tested.

Go to any one of the fantastic driving schools available in the country. You will learn more in a day than 5 years of driving on your own.

Yeah but I doubt some of the drivers that have gone to a driving school can control/slide any car like Sam Hubinette can that easily.

Of course they can't, but its certainly a start. A school will take you to your maximum ability faster than trying to do it yourself.

I learned by hitting a lot of curbs, getting a shitload of tickets, SCCA drivers school, trackdays, big wet parking lots with nothing to hit etc.

I drove that Viper, it didn't seem twitchy to me, I guess I'm used to it
What Darius said, seat time, seat time, seat time
