After a little research, I've come up with a few clues. Stiff suspension and slutch is mentioned.. Just imagine some spindly, well off software developer is in the middle of a decreasing radius corner. He downshifts, but because he's a spindly weakling, he dumps the clutch. Bad news.

Another idea (that is my own thought), is the Viper is relatively cheap for a supercar. So blue collar Joe Blow goes from driving his piece of shit FWD minivan to a comparatively monstrous RWD car, with no experience driving aggressively at all, let one in a RWD. He assumes he can just punch it and fly, but without traction control or stability control, he wraps his new whip around a tree.

Higher HP RWD cars require a certain.. Delicateness, that needs to mesh with aggressiveness in certain instances. Unless you've hooned in lower HP RWD cars to understand the basics, which most blue and white collar guys with the stereotypical 40-60 hours a week job, 2.5 kids and a mortgage, have never had the freedom to do as they want, like hooning. The blue collar guy is too busy fixing his shitty minivan and renovating his house bit by bit, and the white collar guy is too busy playing tennis at the ritzy resort and taking vacations to Italy and the Bahamas to keep up with the Jones's. The thing they both have in common is neither is truly free- they both live paycheck to paycheck, and they both can't afford or be seen with a beat up LS Miata or S13 to learn how to drive.

That's my guess anyways.

Right? For me, a limited slip is the best all around compromise unless you're pushing stupid HP numbers, but either way, f*ck open diff's.

Makes sense to me. It still surprised me how few people can drive stick, and how many fewer can drive stick with a modicum of elegance. Everyone around here seems to have grown up driving auto subarus or fwd auto econoboxes, and I highly doubt they could drive anything without ABS, traction control and two pedals effectively, especially in the snow.

AWD and stick, only because what's the point of an auto RWD (unless it's something like a semi auto BMW M3 type machine)

Epic suspension set up with shitty chinese tyres vs the best tyres with standard suspension.

Miata any day.

And I'm sure you're comment above is right. The vast majority of people 100% suck at driving. Something like 80-90% of interstate accidents in Kansas involve hitting power poles. If you know anything about Kansas, you know it's flat. No terrain variety at all, and nothing to crash into except wheat. Fear+ target fixation = crashing into power poles. Seriously, people suck ass at driving.

Dirt jumper for downhill or dh bike for cross country.
