Default Toomuch power for some

This happened yesterday. Picture worth thousand words. The funny thing is, this was his brother's car that he took for a Sunday joy ride. Enjoy!

BTW, I had to make an emergency stop this morning. German brakes work great compare to US cars.

Default The Viper is very fast in straight line off the mark. Lift off during hard acceleration, though,...

That'll buff right out!

Don't know where you have heard about the "lift off during hard acceleration problem" though. In 3 years of ownership I have never experienced any problems you describe?
By the look of the pictures I'd say he came around the proceeding corner too hot, lost it and over-recovered to shoot off the road.

Friends don't let friends drive their VIPERS!!!
