For those who drive HARD, how many have spun their Vipers??

[VIPER GTSR 91]

I gradually worked my way up to the limits of my RT/10. I finally spun it. There was no traffic, no cars anywhere, just me on a one-way road with a sweeping left turn in it.

When I spun my RT/10 at Moroso I decided to get a GTS for the track. The GTS has seen the grass and kitty litter many times.

Click on the Road Atlanta link for a spinout.

How the hell is someone that bad at driving working for Car and Driver? It definitely wasn't on purpose cause you hear him say he's gotta try it again.

It sure as heck explains a lot about what they write, doesn't it?

Awesome clip, thanks for posting. I like it for the sounds...certainly not the driving!

I did think though that they were trying to get some "drift" footage for the Saturday morning show. Maybe they just really are bad at those corners....

If you still have it, post it again - I tried to open it before I noticed that your post was in 2001!

This is a really old thread.

Half spun at Thunderhill. Was just cresting the cyclone when the S2000 in front of me braked really hard. Rear was really light. Half spun left, half spun right, then left again. Never left the track. I looked over at my instructor, expecting a thrashing. He turned to me and calmly said "pass that guy!".
Did spin on track at turn 15 when I did a 2-1 shift accelerating out of the turn.

You should be coming out of 15 in third!

3d and 4th is all you need at TH.

No kidding! Was very confused when I was reading how YOU were learning the limits of your car!

Was thinking he should know that by now!

Then I looked for the date...

Who spins their Viper? Not me *cough* * cough* Whut?! No, that's not me!

Notice the distinct sound of a flat spot at the end there. Four new wheels and tires later it's good as new.
