Just an observation from a newbie with 650 miles - I got my car about 6 weeks ago where in PA it was averaging 90+ degrees each day - car felt like it would stick forever on the road - recently we have dipped into the 50's and the roads are getting a bit colder especially in the morning - the car feels ligher regarding its road touch - by this I mean less traction - I can now sense a little better the limits of what to do and not to do in colder weather - I plan to drive my viper through the winter as long as the roads are clean and rock salt levels a non issue. Its simply an outstanding damn car!
The feel is begining to change

I lay in the pedal guys - just saying that the colder its been getting there is a change in the feel - there are a ton of stangs, 911's and vettes that turn the other way when I rumble down the streets! Thanks and Viper D I hear what you are saying about the tires. I had run craps on the C6 Vette I had before the Viper - when the traction control was off the thing just didnt hook up right - the Viper is actually better then the Vette in my opinion but nonetheless the tires stink.
Finally got it !

Yeah be careful. I learned the hard way a few months back what cold weather and run craps can do...
No frame or suspension damage. Just cosmetics.

On a 32 degree day, pulling out of my driveway at idle, the run-craps would spin. Now that I have Bridgestones, it's like night and day.
