The car is anything but a handful. It's very predictable and reliable. I had a blast and immediately fell in love with it. You can really go 10/10ths in it and actually be able to explore the limits of the car. Unfortunately, I found the limits mostly due to the tires (2 sets of tire changes in 3 days) and areo, hence the reason I went with an ACR-Extreme.
I know a handful of people that own an ACR-E and track it on a regular basis. Most of these guys use it to set track records and have succeeded.
It just doesn't sound like you've driven one, especially on the track. Go try out a "run of the mill" GTS. Even these ones haul ass like no other.

Try anything from 1992-2010 and let me know how it feels. The 2013+ Vipers are a lot more controllable and a force to look out for.
Never driven one but I do read and know part of the history of the Viper from 1992-2010. Especially how very unforgiving the car will be and will "bite" you.
