They are all about the laughs I wish Jeremy and James would have given there honest opinion of the car instead of just adding to the narrative they hate America. I was disapointed in the episode.
Thanks! And I will say hi to Chazz for you Tim! I miss the drives....If any of you guys are around KC during driving season we would love to have you join us.
Jalopnik getting in on this.........

That article was just awful in every way. So disappointed.......you can only hope this test is a fluke of some kind. That other tests will prove wrong. I would be interested in what SRT has to say.
If SRT agreed to the test than they must have thought they had a sorted car. I hate to say it (And I'm one of the biggest Viper fans out there) but it's their own dam fault if these rumors are true. They shouldn't have let the new Viper out if couldn't at the bear minimum beat the old ZR1.
It has always been the Ultimate Roadcourse machine.
The ACR is still at the top of almost every Roadcourse comparision test out there. (See the ring times, Car and driver's Lightning lap, etc.)
Here are some of the other cars it was faster than at Laguna...

Interesting to see what the corvette forum is saying:

What car (besides Corvettes) is a Viper GEN I and Gen II main competitor and why? What is the main car (Besides the vette) that competes with GEN I and IIs in the used car market? NSX? Lotus Exige? 911?
I read it and looked at the "What to Pay" prices wasn't that impressed. Especially the GEN I prices seemed to be a bit off. Funny I thought my car and the rest of the GTS prices where pretty spot on though.
We are meeting at Saints for Viper Friday night this Friday at 7PM. The weather is looking GREAT!
Hope to see you there!

Top Gear is calling it the: "bargain supercar of the decade" so they must be doing something right..........
"Is this the bargain supercar of the decade? Absolutely. We get up close and very personal with the new 2013 Viper at the link..."...
