Personally, I cannot stomach this US knock off show for more than 5 minutes and this was not exception. However, these five minutes were enough to conclude that the show is still as awful as ever and new Viper is just as awful.
What is very ironic: putting the turdy SRT Viper on the track along with McLaren and Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale and McLaren 12C Spider. What separates Viper from these two? TECHNOLOGY. Compared to these two, Viper is an equivalent of hopped up steam locomotive competing with maglev train. Sure you can dress it up to disguise its shortcomings but as soon as you open the hood, it becomes painfully obvious this is still the same original Viper that started out in the early 90's while the other two are true mid engine sports cars utilizing carbon fiber tubs instead of this truly archaic steel frame new Viper has (it is identical to Generation 4)..
Nevertheless, a failed car belongs on a failed TV show. The highlight of the show: MOBILE COFFIN moniker for Viper-pretty good one although not sure how many months took these three geniuses to come up with it.
