The Viper test was hilarious

The thing about the 300C was I don't think it was designed to compete with either of those cars. Why not just throw a Cadillac in there instead?

those guys are idiots, fitst of all how can you test handeling in the sand? second of all it's really easy to turn off track control on the 300. My mom has a hemi magnum and you hold down the button on the other side of the dash that says "esp off." I've done tests, three tenths et between track control on and track control off. Plus those cars come with those crappy continental tires. And if they were smart, they would have had one of the SRT-8 300's sent over, then that would have dusted those other two off so bad.

When traction is at a premium a cars handling balance becomes all the more important, better handling, lighter weight cars with the ability to quickly switch directions and accept steering and throttle inputs more quickly shine in wet weather, not all that different from sand.
