First Impressions

[01sapphirebob]

So I was finally able to get my recently aquired ACR out today and..... I cannot believe how much faster this car feels compared to my RT/10. I have seen a dyno sheet from one of the previous owners and it was rated @ 420 something at the wheels!!! UNBELIEVEABLE!!!!!

As you know the wheels on an ACR are a little lighter and the different suspension will change the way it handles. Improved aerodynamics do result in a slightly higher top speed. IMHO, you have the best of both worlds having both an RT/10 and ACR. Do you plan on selling the RT/10?

 

[01sapphirebob]

No. I plan on being able to pass these cars on to my kids some day. The ACR is a GEN II.

now just imagine the differance in the gen 4 with 600hp talk about power!! it feels like a completely different car

I was actually gonna get a Gen IV when I got back from VOI X last year. I had driven one and was really impressed. I keep thinking about the transmission and how smooth it felt! However I came to realize the Gen II body style was what I had fallen in love with when I was a kid and is ultimatly what I wanted.

 

[J&R3xV10]

very true but I have to say that once you have one, the new body style realy grows on you.

But don't forget that sapphire is much faster then the rest

nowyour just being ignorant......everyone knows yellow is the fastest

With two sapphire cars I can tell you for sure...Sapphire Blue is the fastest color.

But don't forget that sapphire is much faster then the rest

AAAARRRGGGHHH- You're killing me Bob

Selling that ACR is gonna haunt me for a looooong time. I think I'm going to need some form of sportscar intervention- the participants will probably try to convince me that's it's more socially acceptable to buy a Prius and sing Kumbayah whenever I drive it Oh, and Prozac, lots and lots of Prozac!
