    09 ZR1, didn't buy it!

    I wish I was. I'm back in Colorado for a few weeks. Are you running tomorrow? If so, tell Phil I said Hi. I was there a couple of weeks ago with Chin. Seemed like an all Porsche event. Not that there's anything wrong with that. One orange Viper in the Novice group I think. My next event...

    09 ZR1, didn't buy it!

    Nothing that a set of Sparco's and Moton's can't fix. :D

    Comp Coupe help???

    I guess that makes sense. The CC was about seven seconds a lap faster than the ACR. Roughly 5 seconds due to the weight difference and a couple seconds due to the tire compound maybe. It would be interesting to see someone convert an ACR to a race car and see how it would compare racing...

    Comp Coupe help???

    When you ran these lap times what tires did you have on each car? Were the suspension settings and aero on the ACR optimized for the track? Do you think the biggest difference between the two cars is weight? I would think 400 pounds could be worth about 4 seconds a lap.

    Comp Coupe help???

    I agree. If you want more of a track car than a street car I would start with an ACR and gut it. Do it so that it can always be restored to stock. It would be interesting to see what kind of lap times (relative to a Comp Coupe) the car could generate at ~3,000 pounds with track pads and slicks.

    Lamin-X Tinted Headlights on my Orange ACR

    I've heard the same thing from a vendor who actually sells tinting material for lenses. And those are expensive lenses.

    ACR Calipers Sufficient For Road Course Use?

    Thanks Chuck but I think you are still "The Man" in a Viper. Does anyone know if the Comp Coupes have better calipers than the Gen 4 Vipers?

    ACR Calipers Sufficient For Road Course Use?

    I've heard various reports of brake fade from road course use on ACR's. Has anyone determined if the weak link is the fluid, pads, rubber lines or the calipers themselves? Thanks.

    Owners of 08s with 3.55 Gears Report

    There was a rear gear thread awhile back related to road course use. If I remember correctly, a guy and his buddy whom each have comp coupes changed the gears and compared before and after lap times. While the cars felt faster they actually got slower lap times. They attributed this to the...

    ACR has more power than ZR1

    C'mon Chuck! Can't we all just get along! :rolaugh: And no, you can't tell me to go back to the Z06 forums as my ACR is being delivered Monday morning. Mike

    Need Advice..'08 ACR vs non-ACR

    I've owned 6 Z06's and a Z51 C6 over the last several years and now I'm waiting for my ACR to be delivered (my first Viper). My thought is that historically the cars that dominated the Nring have been very high priced exotics. For the first time there is an opportunity to buy, what is for now...

    ACR Brake Pads - Track Use

    What brands of brake pads are available for the ACR for track use? Is anyone using Pagid? Thanks.

    2009 White & Black ACR from CAAP

    Hope that's mine! Any idea of how long before this would hit a dealers lot? Also, anyway to tell from the picture if this is a hardcore car? Thanks.

    Question about Pilot Sport Cups

    They do seem to take longer to heat up than say a Hoosier on the track. Usually about 4 or 5 laps compared to 1 or 2 for a Hoosier. I don't know that you could get them up to optimum temps on the street but for street driving at 70-80% I never had an issue with them. It's a great compromise...

    ACR Dive Planes - Extreme Use!

    Great information. Thanks. I've been tracking Z06's for the last 7 years but have an '09 ACR on order. Good to hear you are happy with it!

    4 ACRS on the track today

    Chuck how did the old beater do against the ACR? What did you think of the track? Mike

    ACR Dive Planes - Extreme Use!

    Good to see someone tracking an ACR. Especially in a monsoon. Can you make any comparisons to other cars you've tracked or other cars at the track regarding lap times? Just trying to get an idea of the relative track performance of the car. Thanks.

    ACR Wing Painted?

    Does anyone know under what color/stripe combinations the rear wing would be painted and when it would be clear coated carbon fiber? I saw a blue one yesterday with the wing painted and was thinking that the wing would look better if you could see the carbon fiber like the front splitter. Thanks.

    2009 ACR just went D

    I was wondering the same thing. My ACR is supposedly in "D1". Is that the same as "D"?

    ZR1 goes AGAIN to the 'ring... and yet can't beat the ACR's time
