    Red coupe around pole

    I still cannot understand why I get bashed so for saying there are not enough drivers/buyers in the general public to drive this car safely. It needs TC. At this rate, the car will be uninsurable, you can bet the insurance companies are taking notes. Everyone wants to hype the potential of the...

    Comp Coupe Beats 08 ACR Heads Up @ Pocono

    Actually Dimitrios, you do not have that much confidence on a new track, even if it's your second time, to be racing and beating someone in a comparable and better suited (which doesnt always mean faster) and complete race car. On top of that you dont have that type of confidence your first...

    Comp Coupe Beats 08 ACR Heads Up @ Pocono

    I was going to mention the aero advantage of the CC, is lower and has much less air passing under the car with the body work. Aside from that only 2.5 seconds behind with a first time in car, new to track, vs a pretty darn good driver in a definitely fast non street legal race car. IS...

    ACR crash?

    Well in racing the goal is to equalize the cars and most times there wont be a big difference in straight line speeds compared to what we see on the street. Of course his Viper isnt stock, but he has a restrictor I'd bet and there is no way it's 528 rwhp. So your comparisons to vettes vs his...

    Could that be driver advantage? An ACR @ 2900 lbs would be insanely crazy.

    HUH? What vette?

    Comp Coupe Beats 08 ACR Heads Up @ Pocono

    400 lbs > 100 crank hp ANY DAY OF THE WEEK. What were the lap time differences? If the ACR was close, then that's more than good enough.

    ACR crash?

    You mean grass as in drivers left at the start of the spin? I dont hear any engine note as he whipped back across the track to the other side. I doubt he would have his foot on the gas while going sideways at 100 mph.

    ACR crash?

    That is a T1 Viper, the ACR couldnt race in T1 without being completely neutered. You'd have to put a mega restrictor, and remove all of the aero which would essentially make running an ACR in T1 obsurd. BTW the engine wasnt revving when he was in the grass, he just added too much throttle...

    08 VIPER/ACR in NASA?

    If you cant understand it with an elementery school level explanation, you never will. I'm done with it.

    08 VIPER/ACR in NASA?

    Wow, comparing wrecks of ALL OTHER CARS over the US and the REST OF THE WORLD vs what we can see on almost a weekly basis right here. I guess probability and statistics wasnt your best subject.

    08 VIPER/ACR in NASA?

    I see you still havent gotten the point yet. I do think the Viper needs traction control, but for the last time, NOT FOR ME. Since you cant seem to understand the concept, THIS IS WHY!!!!! (only a couple of examples)...

    Nissan GTR Versus The 08 Viper

    Atlanta, hence the reason I ended up at Palmer. I'm going to see how the car fares in it's first year with reliability, and cost to run. Who knows, they may sell out for year two before I can get to one. I go hard, and am not a casual DE guy and beating up a 100k brand new car might make me a...

    08 VIPER/ACR in NASA?

    Boxer- I dont know everything that's on the car, but there is easily 250 lbs that can come out without gutting the car. In fact I would think that more Viper owners would be executing a diet program for their cars since it's. Fiske Wheels - ~30 lbs Full Floating Rotors - ~30 lbs A6 Tires -...

    08 VIPER/ACR in NASA?

    I'm pretty sure it has 500-600 lbs over a stock ACR so you're correct the ACR has room to work. I'm just getting my car to the 3300 lb range. I dont know how they did it but I'm cool with everyone at the shop and the car is 2800-2900 with Reese in it. At the very least it's sub 3k with him in...

    Nissan GTR Versus The 08 Viper

    I dont like the GT-R one bit, nor do I like the R8 (I think it's ugly). I dont like the S/C on the ZR-1, but I know Chevy couldnt build a reliable NA V8 with that much power so seems like they had little choice, but I dont like it as a track car. As for renting a Porsche or exotic, I've...

    08 VIPER/ACR in NASA?

    I agree from the standpoint of Viper owners being able to do both. In the southeast, if you're willing to travel a bit, you can do 2 events a month between florida region and southeast region and the tracks include: Homestead Sebring Road Atlanta Roebling Barber CMP Rockingham High Rock...

    Nissan GTR Versus The 08 Viper

    Ok, I see where you are coming from now. In terms of innovation, you may be right, the Stealth may have had more to add to current vehicles than the GT-R will add to future ones. DSG, AWD, and stiff suspension arent exactly cutting edge, in fact I think the GT-R isnt anything innovative at...

    2008 ACR Raffle car on Ebay

    To me the first ACR is an anomaly. You cant track it (well technically you can, but you get the idea) like it was meant to be if you want to keep the value in it, and you cant really drive it on the street. So unless you're a collector who doesnt mind having a car sit in the garage for...

    08 VIPER/ACR in NASA?

    Boxer- trust me, I love the ACR. But I've driven against that vette on many occasions and it's no joke. It's got hundreds of hours in the wind tunnel, 620-650 WHEEL HP. And weighs under 3k lbs with the driver in it. If you show up with a stock ACR you'll get raped. You're giving up...

    08 VIPER/ACR in NASA?

    Actually that is MTI racings shop car, and it's their track developement car which is driven at MANY MANY track events in the southeast. You can see vids of it on their website. I know them so well because they tuned my corvette before I sold it. I have no idea how they keep it so clean, but...

    08 VIPER/ACR in NASA?

    Better have your game together, TTU is no joke. If you think showing up with a Viper and mediocre driving skills you'd better get some lesson. Porsche Cup cars are running TTU which I think is garbage, but nonetheless they are there along with some serious hardware in the form of a corvette...

    Nissan GTR Versus The 08 Viper

    Ted you are forgetting that the first motors were NA, so NA is OLDER than anything you mention. At this point almost everything is ancient with refinement. But you cant say the RT10 motor is better than the 08 SRT motor, and that's almost 20 year old technology as well. The fact is that...
