There's an old Top Gear episode where Clarkson compared a Corvette ZR1 to an Audi R8. He decided the Audi was the better car, but he still preferred driving the Corvette. My own summary, it's because the Audi was so well engineered (traction control, throttle response, suspension), it lost something. The car was driving you. With the 'Vette - will all the "help" absent - you were driving the car. The Viper was very much the same. It's unforgiving, it won't rescue you from any mistakes. And you might pay for them. But if you can control the instrument, it plays perfecty. Side note: In the mentioned Top Gear episode, when they gave their pro driver a lap in both cars, the low-tech Corvette set a better time.
