You do know that driver is a professional race-driver for the Dodge Viper, right?
FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) driver Tom Coronel, who pilots a Leon TFSi for SEAT Team Holland,
he's a million times better than you at driving a Viper.
[QUOTE]Btw, it wasn't 100% stock, what with the R compound tires and stuff.

Well, I stand corrected on the tires. Didn't know it came like that.
But still, this is basically a 600-hp race car driven by a professional racer. That time is impressive, but not that much when comparing to the ZR1 and base GT-R.

As if a ZR1 isn't a race car either or even the GTR for that matter? No DD needs 400+hp to get to work and back. Last I checked the viper has a full interior complete with leather seats. A "full" race car, is completely stripped, has a roll bar, etc and this is far from that so don't hate because it blew away the competition.
Do you think the Zr1 / GTR were driven by amateurs as compared to the viper?
Oh the Zr1 has more horsepower then the viper as well...

Apples to apples, oranges to oranges!Fact: the base GT-R costs the same as the Z06 and over $10K less than the base Viper. We all know what it does to the Z06 on the tracks already.

Do you think Nissan and GM grabbed somebody out of drivers ed for their ring runs?
But to say that the driver in this ACR sucked is ridiculous. He knew when to shift and when to keep it in gears. He was paid to drive it.

as I recall, their drivers were not paid professional racers.
