John Phillips of Car & Driver Just Plain Throws Down on Vipers

[PhoenixGTS]

I have read a lot of hash words written about the Viper over the years, but John Phillips just goes off in the March 2016 Car & Driver. From inception to the Gen V, he disrespects the car:

Yea..... The Viper was smart and tried to kill him!!!!! More than once

Seems the Viper is a good judge of character

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but his opinion really *****. He sounds like a burned out car salesman at the dead end of his life.

Well. Here's my opinion on the writer. It would seem that his harsh words are a mere reflection of his driving skills and career. Holy crap, cooking eggs and bacon,
Realllllllyyyyyy!? I don't want to drive any thing that doesn't make me feel alive, excited and maybe a tad afraid at times. He obviously drives a prius in the fast
lane of traffic with cruise control on. Some people just don't know how to let go and embrace raw kick *** fun.

Clearly a case of a frustrated, disgruntled automotive writer with driving skill set dysfunction. He needs to get a prescription for Drivalis.

I think this first post at the end of the article says it all (and it makes you laugh!!):

yeah it is just the fasted production street legal race car which has broken every record it attempted, yet this ass clown who has owned more pieces of s**t that our back lot, thinks it is a POS? Maybe he should take his skirt off before entering the Viper.

Add another a$$ clown to the list of old bastages that forgot how to have fun....

I wonder if he feels the same way about a Shelby Cobra....or does it get a free pass because it's not a Dodge
