2008 ACR

[Need1]

I admit I didn't research this at all before posting, lol, but, has anyone received an '08 ACR yet? I'd love to see some more pictures (other than the stocks)

 

[wallbanger]

These pics have been around 4 a while,,, house is to small for me

 

[Bill Pemberton Woodhouse]

The answer is no, concerning any ACRs being out yet. This is one that was sent to Prefix for striping and fitment of the wing and splitter --- killer photo though !!!

Are the ACR's being built on the assembly line yet? Do the ACR's have to go to the Jobber for stripes?

Nice pics. House is the Meadowbrook mansion. The house built by John and Matilda Dodge, though he died before it was completed, and occupied by Matilda and her next husband Alfred Wilson. I took this picture back in 1995 to introduce the Dodge Viper to the Dodge mansion. as stated it is quite small. Only 88,000 sq ft and 110 rooms. we have had MCVO events in the mansion in the past. Impressive.

No info on the ACR though.

WOW Wallbanger. Those pics are gorgeous!!!!

 

[Bill Pemberton Woodhouse]

We have some listed for build in late February, but I have not seen a change yet.

Stripes will be done at Prefix and I believe the wings/splitters also, though I have not confirmed the latter.

So the cars will be hung up for at least a couple of months on the stripes and wing/splitters. The black stripes on my SSG have slowed the process considerably.

Admitted MAJOR ignorance here but ... is ACR factory ... or strictly some after-market thing?

Also, is it performance upgrades AND cosmetics ... or strictly more cosmetic (or at least body diff's ... knowing aerodyn's help, etc ... perhaps I mean more along the lines of does it include "internal" performance upgrades).

Thanks and again, forgive the ignorance regarding.

Road and Track tested the ACR next to the 08 in the April issue (which i just got yesterday). The ACR was the fasted around the track out of every other car tested there, (ZR1, Z06, 911, 911RS, Gallardo, Gallardo Superlegera, and 08 Viper)

The ZR1 was not there to be tested, there is a thread about this. http://forums.viperclub.org/srt10-srt10-coupe-discussions/611672-r-t-april-issue-gives-acr-nod.html

Really quite surprised nobody from SRT is on this web site.Someone who could tell use when the ACR will actually start production.I know 2nd quarter but I would like alittle more exact.

I just won the first ACR from the Viper Club raffle. They are still waiting on production parts and should begin building ACR's mid March. Chrysler will let me pick up the ACR after production begins before Easter. March 17th sounds correct.

 

[xlr8ion]

Today is the 20th and no word of ACR production???So much for the 17th as a start date.The cars were to be delivered 2nd Quarter of 08,that time is fast approching.

 

[wallbanger]

My plain red vert has been in I status for 8 days.....

 

[Paul Hawker]

March 17th...Saint Patricks day...Maybe they will be making Green ones?

 

[fastmd]

I heard prodcution had started yesterday.

 

[snakeplissken]

I heard prodcution had started yesterday.

Can anyone confirm this?

 

[xlr8ion]

Bill P. is the only one that will really know when the ACR goes into production.Black is suppose to be done first but who knows.I have a feeling black and red will be done at the same time.

 

[snakeplissken]

Does anyone know has ACR production started?

 

[Lee00blacksilverGTS]

Congrats Lee. Will love to see it soon.

 

[wallbanger]

Going to E status is great but then you probably will be stuck in I status for a month or longer if u have a stripe/s

 

[InjectTheVenom]

Lee, what color combo and package (******** or just as-is) did you order?

 

[Lee00blacksilverGTS]

Black with dual red stripes and black and red interior. And yes, Bill told me it's still going to be a long time coming.

Not only was the ACR faster around the track, the second fastest was the 08 Viper. The 08 also beat everything else out there except the ACR!

 

[mjf6175]

Black Mamba is EXACTLY right. The "regular" 08 Viper beat all the other models INCLUDING the track models of the other brands. Which means the ACR really beat their a**.
