Perhaps the car was recently purchased and the driver didn't want to liquify their tires, the TCS wasn't disengaged, and the driver wasn't as experienced. Let's face it, most Viper owners know how to drive their cars. The same can't be said about most Vette/Z06/ZR1 owners, due to the fact that so many are built, and many fall into the hands of those who want a status symbol with a supercharger....but nonetheless, congrats on that Viper driver. They know what they're doing.
Gotta love the V10.
