Your judgement of the Viper is unfounded. In a brief search for lateral acceleration, I found: Delorean: .86 NSX : .89 Viper : .99 It's handling is rivalled only by the newer vettes, ie z06, Mclaren f1, and ferrari f50/f40. I can understand preferring the Delorean, but to call it superior is insanity.
