ACR Video Review

[CitySnake]

Sorry if this is a repost, but it was the first time I noticed it.

Pretty much an accurate review, by Motor Trend no less!

If TV Chuck would ever finally take delivery of an '08 ACR, I figure he'd be saying much the same as this driver!

I had not noticed that video before either, so thank you for posting it~! (Really..Motor Trend usually favors shall we say, 'other' vehicles?!!) There's no faulting an ACR, great driving there too. ~juli

Thanks for the link. I think Randy, other than being one of the best road racers out there, also gives some of the most entertaining interviews.

But Randy Pobst only rated the ACR subjectively sixth behind cars like the R8, GT-R, M3, and even a Mini if my memory serves. Of course, the ACR had the fastest time objectively.

Good stuff. Loved the comment about not having all the electronics and the standard H-pattern straight into the tranny.

I KNEW you'd enjoy that.

Entertaining video - yes.

Good driver - yes.

Just consider the source, an ex-auto crosser now racing a (butt heavy) Porsche who's not really familiar with Viper. Watching the video, he slid it around a bit in places where someone familiar with Vipers would not slide the car.

It would be fun to see him try to drive it fast after a some extended practice sessions. I think he'd grow to love it and say bye-bye to his European preferences.

Dan,
I thought you were talking about me. As I'm an autocrosser, had been autocrossing a 996 GT3 for 4 years, and now into Vipers. Yeah, I need to learn how to handle Vipers though as my recent 5 years are all with either mid or rear engined cars.
