Re: For those who drive HARD, how many have spun their Vipers??
Hmm, I think I've spun my '08 ACR five times and I've had it since October. The first time was at EMP after you'd left, Chuck. I cut one of those curbs a bit too close and unsettled the car while being WOT in 2nd. It was my first time really trying to correct for a lot of oversteer in the car and my hands hit my knees as I counter-steered.
The other four times were at our test track in Gainesville, where you'd have to try to damage your car. The first two were from accidentally setting the right-rear damper much stiffer than the left-rear in bump and then cornering over uneven pavement. The third was due to hydroplaning, and the fourth was just me trying to slide the back end around to get heat into the tires.
The trick is pushing the car where you can afford to go off, and working up slowly everywhere else. Oh, and knowing when to put both feet in.
