nice vid.

as much as I think the Viper is a total POS dropped onto a decent engine, I was hoping it would do better against that Porsche.

When the Porsche passed him at the end of the final straight that race belonged to the Porsche.

The Viper could be a great car but the driver was crap Every time he try to overtake the Porsche he was at the WRONG spot, he never learn that the term RACING LINE existed for a reason How can he try to overtake from the right with sharp left corner approaching???? Is he stupid or what?
However nice video I really liked how they smoked the Lambo (around 6:10)

Nice! They need to put the Stig in the Viper!

I love how they blew past that VW...I mean Lambo.

Listen to the racing gearbox bang into gears, thats what they should put in the street one.

Lambo was being a sonafab!tch after the Porsche passed though, and the Viper could have had him I think at 9:00 if not for the traffic you think?

Yeah the traffic really hurt them. That BMW hurt the Viper to as he was trying to go on the inside.

My wife was listening and had to leave the room. She couldn't stand the "noise." I'm like what noise? That's a beautiful sound.
