The article was surprising, then depressing, then upsetting....in that order.

Either the 240's suspension is softer for 08 or the driver(s) all had problems
adjusting the traction control dial.

The viper acr is a factory TRACK prepped car. With 600 horses, no stereo, no spare tire, and 1000 lbs of downforce at 100mph it should have walked away with most of the accolades.

For the car with the least horsepower and the least torque in the group, I think the Lotus did very well.

Seems that less is more!
