car just loses control all over the place when i apply the throttle how can i fix this?

i've tried to drive the dodge viper in the game, and it just takes off and loses control after like 1 second

 

Because it's a 8.0L RWD beast, if you are on keyboard then enable ESC / ABS and tap the gas instead of holding it down

 

Because you need to stop trying to drive a car with a keyboard

 

Ok, let me just get my $899 dollar steering wheel that I totally own.

 

Relax on the throttle, its a viper, which already sucks at controlling
Press the forward/W key once, take a break for a second or two, and then repeat and maintain the path and don't turn it like its an AWD car

 

It's a fair point though. A keyboard just doesn't give you enough control. A $40 PS3(-like) controller with analog trigger buttons does the job fine if you don't want to invest in a sim rig.
