Great fun, and a true Viper experience.
The GTS was a very different ride. Brakes seemed more consistent. Did not feel like chassis was wiggling underneath you.
Suspension was much more consistent. You could work on your turns and it was the same every lap. Extra 50 hp was welcome and the pull out of the turns was a quite a bit more controllable.
GTS had better aerodynamics. You could really tell at fast tracks like Willow Springs where you could really pull on the RTs over 90 mph.
The GTS had a better thought out and executed suspension. Lighter weight hardware etc.
But I gotta tell you, when you hit it right on the RT, all was good with the world. Some times it scarred the **** out of you, but sure was fun.

I never noticed how each turn would be different. Seems pretty consistant in my GEN I.
I have heard the suspension is better. Wonder if it's a bit easier to control at the edge?
