Thats not the car its the driver! Did you see how hard he was pulling the 355 on the small straights between the turns. It all comes down to a driver no the car. Good thing the viper survived the fall of the cliff though.

huh ?
Do you know the term "concertina" wrt to cars on twisties ?
First car out of a corner ALWAYS pulls away frmo an equal car and it then all closes up again at breakign points.
From the clips they've chosen you can actually tell NOTHING about the cars -- until the Viper falls off.

I don't see why you thought that was stupid? It's what you'd call an "unforced error" in any sport. That's all I'm saying.Originally Posted by Matra et Alpine

no probs, greg, but I do have to point out I never said it was stupidOriginally Posted by greg.harvey
Every "crash" is an error and for a good driver all are "unforced".
I only asked from the vid how you came to the conclusion. I was trying to hopefully have explained what you saw that led to that conclusion as I'd missed it. To give it a framework I explained the common problem of a lead driver when pushing on.

Sure. I just meant it was good driving conditions, he wasn't having to defend his line as the other guy wasn't close enough - ie: he wasn't "under pressure" like you are when another driver is monstering you trying to get past, so IMHO at that particular point all he had to think about was the road ahead. So apart from pushing himself on, which of course all racing drivers must do, there were no other immediately obvious circumstances which would've contributed to a lack of concentration, etc. In other words, given the conditions a good racing driver oughtn't to have got it wrong. I guess that's my point.
And he was looking like pulling away at the point he lost it - from the start of the vid the Ferrari is really close, but as it goes on the Ferrari appears to slowly lose ground.
I'd still rather have the Ferrari, mind you! Especially given the state the Viper's in now!

I agree it all comes down to the driver. A car could have 100 more horse power and drive 25mph faster but if you can't drive than it's a waste of power. Plus Chevy is the best.Originally Posted by rev440
Id rather have american cars but ill admit that some of the european cars are good too.
Long live the CORVETTE
I don't divide so much by where it's made as I do by when it's made. There's a much deeper division between new "cars" and classic cars than there is between American cars and anybody else's cars for me.
