Is the Dodge Viper as dangerous to drive as people say it is?
Dodge Viper is known as a handful to drive, many have even called it a 'widow maker' due to a powerful engine, the lack of driver aids and a tendency for snap oversteer. It’s just misunderstood, say some, and needs to be handled with skill, while others insist it’s really treacherous even for experienced drivers. The big question is often whether the Viper’s challenging nature is a feature or a bug, or simply if modern safety technology would kill the car’s raw, analog appeal. On roads and tracks, owners and enthusiasts often discuss their experiences taming the Viper and tips, or close calls, on the road. Over the years, the car's notoriety has only made it more mystifying to gearheads, who love to argue about it.
If you respect it, it’s not dangerous. It's got a ton of power, and no nannies, sure, but that's what makes it fun. All you have to do is be smooth with the inputs and not be an idiot with the throttle.
