is the viper acr wide? (newest Gen)

[dpe_viper]

quick question, the new viper acr (2008-2010) do they look wide, like other exotics (lambo,ferrari)? ive seen pics, they look wide from the front, but unsure how they look in real life, havent had a chance to see a acr or even a regular viper on the road, so rare.

thanks.

They do in person, look much different than in pictures, they are lower and wider. IMO pictures do not do these cars any justice.

They "feel" and look wide due in part to the aero

nice, but compared to a Lamborghini murci (lp640) do they look simlar in wideness? how about the rear of the acr? looks low mean and wide? i wish i seen one, but extremely hard to catch one, even in dealers or meets/shows

That's for sure. Big Viper fan and I saw my second Viper for the year this week. pulled up behind it (2nd gen) in my C6 vette and I felt like I was sitting way higher than the Viper. Before this I thought my Vette sat pretty low.

yeah the corvettes dont really look wide, i see like 3-4 daily

Not even close. The gen III/IV viper, because of its tall back and the overall flatness looks much more narrow than the Gen II GTS.

The Murcielago is a wide SOB. Around 5" wider than the SRT Coupe, maybe more. IMO for the gen V they need a GTS style back that is curvier and more dramatic with a width of about 78-79 inches. It would give it one hell of a street presence.

oh i see, but in pics the ACR looks wide as hell, i was saying that it "might" be in the same category as an Ferrari/lambo width

dpe: great pics of the ACR..."no comparo", in my opinion...the ACR wins, hands down.

 

[dpe_viper]

yeah, thats what all my friends are telling me, that the viper acr looks the best, out of most exotics today

THe front they may be the same width but in the back the murci is much wider.

ACR - 75.7" wide
Murcielago LP640 - 81" wide

does anyone know to confirm if the 75.7 width is for the rear or front?

and also can someone please get a measurement of the front of the gen 4 acr?

I've got a width comparison pic. Not a ACR, but my SRT next to a 430 at the Texas Mile:

When you drive behind a Viper, they look very w-i-d-e and low and the tires look fantastically wide.

They look a lot wider when your looking at them. The Gen III/IV when lowered look even wider.

Well the ACR LOOKS wider than the gen 2. Dont think they actually are wider though

They are much "shorter" and wider than what comes across in pictures.....looking from the back with the rear tire width is a great view.....

does anyone know to confirm if the 75.7 width is for the rear or front?

vehicle width is always given at it's widest point without the mirrors....

Next to my GT, the Viper looks small, but still great.
