Motor Trend has got the President of SRT Ralph Giles mad. Angry enough to call them out on twitter concerning their fear of the Viper.

Jalopnik is covering a minor feud that erupted over Motor Trend’s comparison driver between the SRT Viper and the Corvette ZR1. In the end, the magazine gave the win to the Corvette which Giles took to twitter to voice his opinion. He doesn’t feel that the car failed to win, but the person behind the wheel.

The first tweet reads, “There’s is a lot more left in the car, Randy has always struggled with the Viper.” Jalopnik seems to take the middle ground, seeing the perspective of both parties involved. They admire Randy Probst’s skills of driving, but at the same time feel that Gile’s is correct in calling them out for not unleashing the maximum potential of the Viper. In the past, Motor Trend has labeled the Viper as scary and hard to handle.

It’s a question of if that is what drivers want in the Viper, raw power that is scary to even handle. When you sit behind the wheel of one, it’s hard to deny here’s an allure that the SRT has always had to it, and drivers are certainly expecting and wanting that when they drive a Viper.
