Keep in mind the viper is a rwd car. It takes a lot more to drive a 4wd system. If something is going to give on a high powered rwd car, it's more likely going to be the rear tires. On a 4wd car, it's got so much grip, if something does give, it's most likely going to a the clutch (especially if it's under spec'd). That with the combination of rough driving just accelerates the deteriation of the clutch.
Things that Lambo should look at is possibly upgrading it's clutch. There's 3 options I can think of atm, they can be used as individual options or a combination of options.
* A larger clutch in diameter
* A multiplate clutch
* Try changing different compounds
I'm not exactly sure what they are using atm as I'm new, but just keep in mind larger clutches or a multiplate clutch may remove some of the ease of drivability by removing the ease to slip a clutch. Changing the compounds used in the clutch is probably the simpliest solution as the design of the clutch will remain the same. It may also be used with the above, but the trick will be to find the balance between drivability and durability.
Just wondering if there's an after market solution available in the mean time? Has anyone looked for one?
