Nice! But the video was way to short!

Re: Top Gear Video: Viper vs. Corvette
The lock-on targeting system is pretty cool.
Definitely needs more time and detail on the weapons systems they're emulating. Side-mounted, forward-aiming rockets?! Of course with only front arc weapons on both cars it's mainly just a 'how do i get behind them' exercise... if it was an actual duel. And apparently handling-wise, the Viper wins. I'll not blame it on driver skill. :)
