    Car & Driver does it again.......

    the slalom could just be a typo. I could care less who the mag picks. The lap times tell the story for a car like the ACR.

    Why doesn't Dodge more actively promote the ACR Viper?

    Why not take the ACR to the 'Ring? Wouldn't cost that much $20k? $30k? It would be awesome to see what it could do. I still want the car in the worst way even if they don't go, but it would be interesting.

    Hennessey 2008 ACR in One Lap of America ..... looking good !!!!

    you and I know that is nothing, but turds with excuses just can't seem to come to grips with that. They also believe the suspension was changed.... :(

    Hennessey 2008 ACR in One Lap of America ..... looking good !!!!

    pretty nasty, IMO. The only lame thing about HMS running the car is fanbois of other brands are claiming the viper is winning because it's heavily modded. Too bad the car wasn't factory stock. It would still be cleaning house. Results: http://onelapofamerica.com/history/2008/re...08&res=EV05...

    Hennessey 2008 ACR in One Lap of America ..... looking good !!!!

    Viper won TWS in the rain today. Smoked the GT-R, in the rain, by 14 secs a lap. 2:14 in the rain Counter Clockwise.

    One Lap of America

    ACR got screwed in the wet skid pad. It won Road America easily though.

    Nissan GTR Versus The 08 Viper

    Nissan and Cheby are talking a lot of trash with their 'Ring times. Too bad the Mopar boys aren't making a serious run at the 'Ring production car record with the ACR.

    Camera Mount in a 2008

    I use a chase cam camera mount in my evo. It's cool because it's a suction mount. It can mount to any smooth, hard surface. I put a miniDV camera on it. This is the mount: ChaseCam Store - Window Mount, Triple Suction Cup Base The only thing to make sure you do is tighten the camera down...

    Unbelievable air filter replacement realization

    How old are you guys? On-line shopping is where it is at. It's not like if it takes 2-3 extra days your car will blow up without a new air filter or plugs? Also, if you plan ahead you can order them on wed and have them for the weekend.

    R&T April Issue Gives ACR Nod

    It is well known that pro drivers do better on tracks and in cars they are familiar with. My guess he has little seat time at Willow or little seat time in the viper or both. But, if the conditions were similar for all cars it's still a decent test. IF nothing else it shows how easy it is to...

    Awesome article about new ACR on Autoweek.com

    That's kind of what I thought which makes me wonder why the ACR on Cups is only 2 secs faster then the standard 08 on Pilot Sports according to Helbig. Seems like that would have to do with tires and not the aero and suspension changes. Seems like putting those tires on the 08 would result in...

    Edmunds First Drive: 2008 Viper ACR

    That very well could be true. I imagine it is, but it was just surprising. I have notput PCS tires on my car, but compared to the RA1s, especially shaved, they seemed to be slower on comparable cars, but it's always hard to tell because of different driver skill. If the tires are pretty much...

    Awesome article about new ACR on Autoweek.com

    Dude, then you are the guy to ask from another thread! :) Going from Pilot Sports to Cup tires is worth how many secs at Wilow Springs? I figured at least 2 secs on tires alone. From PIR (portland) in my experience going from Yokohama A046 to RA1s was good for 3-4 secs and shaved RA1s gave me...

    Edmunds First Drive: 2008 Viper ACR

    On my local track going from very sticky street tires to Toyo RA1s is worth 3-4 secs and it's a ~1:30 track on my pretty much stock evo. I changed nothing but tires. This is very consistent between different cars not just evos. 2 secs at Willow springs because of a tire change from street...

    Edmunds First Drive: 2008 Viper ACR

    Yeah, I'm sure Helbig was comparing one legged grandma's when he said 2 secs difference....

    Edmunds First Drive: 2008 Viper ACR

    The quote of 2 secs was from Helbig (Viper chief engineer): That is the part that doesn't make any sense. The fact the 08 has street tires and the ACR has R-compounds it should be 2 secs because of that...

    ZR1 FORUMS ARE

    When talking about the ACR who gives a flying crap about 1/4 times? The SRT engineers already said the ACR will be a little slower then the Viper coupe because of all the downforce.

    ACR in Top Gear magazine

    I don't think the author was against the viper at all. I think he was trying to pander to the guy/gal that thinks the viper sucks because it uses 'old' technology. He setup the beginning of the article pandering to the preconceived notions and then goes on to describe why they are wrong in the...

    Thanks to SRT Engineers

    Thanks a lot that was awesome. I didn't see any specific lap times for various tracks they test at for the ACR. That's too bad. I was hoping to see how fast it was at places like Laguna or VIR.

    08 SRT10 v ZR1 comments in Car and Driver article...

    His prices are a joke. It will be nice when other tuners start turning out parts for the 08 viper at reasonable prices.
