Gotta give credit to Chevy! Tires being equal the Zr1 beat the ACR fair and square! Time for Dodge to step up or shut up
I really wish they would take the 2010 ACR on there and crush the ZR1s time just for the hell of it. I think it would lower the vette owner's morale a bit when an 'older' car steps in and retakes the title with minimal effort, and then the same brand re-ups it when the 2012 comes out

Beat the 08 ACR. Not the fastest of the breed.
that vette had no extra aero on it as well, no big ass wing, no big splitter, no canards, throw those on and see another 6 or more seconds come off the time. just watch the video and see him sliding in the corners, he even went off the track numerous times.
Dodge better step up their game is all i can say
Seriously, we need to stop this bs of could have, should have, ect, ect... We are sounding just like the Vette owners did when the ACR crushed their time and they ******* about the tires Chevy kicked ass period! Time for Dodge to step up or shut up period!! In the meantime, Hot Damn that Vette is fasssssst
Seriously? Where did I say the Vette didn't deserve it? Did you see me say the 08' ACR could beat the 2011 ZR1? I'm pretty sure I didn't post that. The 2008 ACR was worked over hard at the ring by Dodge with a great driver and I believe the 7:22 was a great accomplishment. The 2010 ACR was improved upon addressing the tranny gearing and personally believe it would beat the 2011 ZR1 time.
Has it done it? Nope.
Do I wish that Dodge would take it over? Yep.
So get over it that's just my opinion.
Hey sorry dude, I didn't mean to direct my opinion towards you particularly. It's towards all of us viper owners who are ******** and complaining about the gearing of the 08 car.... I happen to agree with you and most about the 2010 but still wont bench or key board race. That's what the vette owners did when we trashed their record! Hopefully the gen 5 will put us back on top where we belong
Takin a non-production car (as in now out of production car 10' ACR) over to the ring is pointless. Auto Industry is what have you done for me lately. Concentrate on the GEN V and nail it. It is okay for Chevy to have a a few years in the sun. We should all be happy as hell here as that means Dodge will have to make the new GEN V that much faster. Ralph has nothing else to concentrate on now, other than pure SRT focus and some design work. Have some faith boys! 10' ACR will always have a special place but I seriously doubt it is the fastest Viper that will even be made.
Hey guys,
It is time to take the old heads out of the arses so to speak,
If you were at a race track and a car with NO WING and NO splitter kicked your butt, you would not be bragging about how you could come back with a gear change and knock a second or 2 off or how they just barely beat your track record by 1 second, AERo makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE.
For a car to beat the ACR with no aero is incredible, just think what an 08 viper with only the KWV2's would have done on the Ring ????
Maybe a few race guys could chime in and give some opinions here, but the lack of aero on the Vette is significant when comparing it to the ACR.
Dodge should be shooting to beat the Vette with NO AERO on the car and then do it again with the aids.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a die hard Viper guy but its time to wake and smell the Coffee
Steve, the Vette made all it's time against the ACR due to better gearing along with the tires. Plus, don't forget the computer was helping. The Vette made up 2.3 seconds on the last straight alone. Very fast car.
And if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle Should have could have, will never get us anywhere. We are talking a margin of 2-4 seconds on a 17 mile track! I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it! Now if that CNN report about the new viper is true, that's worth getting ********** @
Congrats to Chevy, great to see another American car company come out on top. FU Europe.

Good points here; I'll give the opinion that the ACR has aero and the 'Vette uses electronic stability control = a fair fight. As for the reasoning behind using a '10 ACR in an attempt to regain the record... outside of the logical arguments (building brand, re-introducing SRT, data for the Gen V team) there's always the most simple reasoning of all: it's a competition. Informal, unsanctioned, but still very visible. So when somebody takes your record... you take it right back. Never Neutral.

I wanna see how U fu** Europe?
I agree, I think personally I just want to see the Gen IV ACR go out on top.
