I have driven a Viper once, and a classic blue with silver racing stripes example at that! The power and torque delivery will blow your brains away.....it was a deeply special experience, though I wouldn't call it an outright sports car at all. Especially with that horrible steering and gearshift. A looker up to the brim in character? You bet. But a sports car it is not.

Only the Americans could make, and sell, such a car.

Well, that's the definition of a muscle car, isn't it?
Go back in time, all the original American muscle cars were great looking had loads of power, torque and poor steering / handing and a heavy gears.
