Unknown reasons?.. That was one awful snake-bite! One good upgrade for future Vipers would be traction control. Too many people have lost their lives because of the rear end sliding out.

All my condolences to the relatives..

Terrible news regarding a fellow viper owner. We all need to be careful out there and remember that the colder weather and cold tires make for a dangerous situation waiting to happen. My condolences to the family and friends!

Don't mar the goodwill for a deceased Viper owner with your garbage. Using your argument, there should be a speed regulator on all Vipers because most people don't die from lack of traction... they die from GOING TOO FAST! If you were only doing 10mph, you'd have to go out of your way to get "bit" right?

Keep the Viper simple.

Condolences to the family.

Falconeer, hardly a thread to start propping granny aids.

I simply CANNOT believe I read we should have traction control on a thread about someone passing away in a viper. The car left the road for unknown reasons.. Swerving for an animal? Dizzy spell? Hydroplaned from a water build up? Heart attack while driving? Diabetic shock? How does traction control help that??

Keep your garbage comments to yourself.. I know it wasn't mean harmful, but lets try and think before we type next time


That's a whole new low.... unreal...

This is tragic. I hope their family finds the strength to put him to rest and be able to move on in life, but yet never forget him. It is such a fine line and difficult to do!

I would also like to add a comment, with hesitation but I think it needs said. This is for any "low mileage" Viper owners and it has been said many times before. If you have a low mileage GEN I and it has the original tires on it, replace them. It is a serious safety issue even if there is plenty of tread left.

I am not assuming this was an issue here, no one may never know exactly what happened, but if this comment reaches just one other GEN I owner and opens their eyes it was worth while to put in here....
