I would say that if you own either a 427 Cobra, or any Viper, and you learn how to drive them, you'll be fine with the GT. Truthfully, the GT is tame in comparison to the other two. What I find, is that it's easy to spin that back end out but, it's much more predictable than the Cobra, and especially the Viper. I have little fear stomping the pedal in the GT at any reasonable speed, and I'm far from stock power. I'll kick the back end out at 80-90 in 2nd and straighten her out easily, but I can't say the same about my Viper. That car is so poor in the streets it shouldn't even be allowed off the track, seriously. It should have had nanny's since they were available. It's very unpredictable. Once that back end goes out, it's a nightmare fighting it to get it back. Nothing about that car is driver friendly. On the track, not much can outrun it, but in the streets, it's a bitch. There's way too much rubber on the road and not enough weight to make it work. A rough road makes that car dangerous at speeds in turns. The GT is right at home under the same conditions...

I learned about my GT by driving my Viper... :)

You have to drive the Viper backwards to get it to handle like a mid-engine car! LOL

You have to respect The Animal. That's what I call it. You get antsy, cold tires, cool road, shaded area, you step on it with the steering wheel even slightly cocked and get ready for the left rear to go left and you better turn into the slide or it's a curb, tree, bridge, or guard rail. I've saved it 2X, hope I never have to do it again:)

All the stated cars require "maturity" to drive safely.
