Street Racing in Dayton Ohio
Here this viper does what it is quite famous for, - loss of control when the V-10 hits the moneymaker point in the powerband.

Well he did pull ahead... we used to be able to go to IMS and on parade laps lay back and then catch up, INDY at 120+ is an experience that many will never have.
Yep. Vipers ruined that too when on a parade lap in the mid 1990's a guy got on it, lost control in the same way as in the video above, and put it into a wall - hard. After that radar guns and permanent track bans for violations.

That one can probably be removed from the registry...

Ugh, lose your Viper and have it immortalized on YouTube for all time after being goaded into the dumbest street race imaginable. I don’t think I could handle the shame.

No reason to lose control like that so world may be safer w/ him uninsurable/off the road. Strange he hit a Goodyear sign...car turned in by itself wanting to shed its factory Michelins?   ~ Pete .

People over estimate how well they can hook on street/hard tires.

The viper is perhaps the most wrecked car on the planet. Like I said when the V-10 hits a point in the Powerband the rear end breaks loose If this is accompanied by a down shift then it is double trouble for control.
Here is a site that tracks them all: http://www.wreckedexotics.com/dodge/viper Last edited by 70 copo; 04-14-2022 at 10:27 PM. Reason: Added context.
