It came with it's own personal crew chief. The guy adjusts the car to suit whatever kind of track their on for maximum performance. I think it was Road and Track that ran like 10 cars through 4 different kinds of racing or so. Like autocross, short road course, long road course and oval track. The Viper wasn't the only car with adjustable suspension but it was the only one being adjusted for each type of track. A bit of an advantage if you ask me. Although anyone who buys one would be able to do the same, they wouldn't necessarily have a pro to do it perfectly.

That said, it's still impressive. The nurburgring is a great performance benchmark because it requires a car to excel at all performance aspects so it's very relevant.

The car is street legal, but you can take off a piece of the front body work which will make it illegal.

It's perfectly fair to compare the two, but it doesn't mean you have to like the Viper because it's a few seconds faster.
still sour about losing? wow
