The VCA and SRT are very proud to present...

[InjectTheVenom]

That yellow is KILLER!! Ok, off to go rob a bank now... see ya on tonight's newsreel... a few last words btw, Dodge *caugh Chris and Bob* are you looking at this????

WE WANT YELLOW, WE WANT YELLOW, WE WANT YELLOW ADDED TO THE COLOR PROGRAM!

 

[Y2K5SRT]

Can someone photoshop the solid black car with a red stripe, solid red with dual black stripes and solid black with dual silver stripes please.

Lest you think I was slacking (especially with a free pizza at stake!), rest assured that I have spent WAY too much time studying Photoshop online tutorials and much more to figure out how to do black as a color change and still pick up all the lighting and features of the car itself. I can change the hues of the car all day long (and not as well as Austin), but changing any color to black seems next to impossible. Hopefully somebody else can figure it out in the interim - it's giving me a migraine!

 

[fastmd]

I placed my order with Bill P but can't decide between the orange/black or violet/black. Could someone please photoshop what the violet/black may look like? I was told violet will
come down the line before orange.
Thanks!

Here is a very quick black. Its your one freebie. And as Chris mentioned (thank you Chris), black is a very difficult color to do and do correctly.

Could you add the red stripe please(see prior post) Make that two pizzas.

Well, still not perfect but the best I can do I am afraid. No anchovies please!

[Y2K5SRT]

And since the lovely Venomiss thought it would look good with a yellow driver's stripe, what the heck...

Of course I don't know if you would get too much crap for having a yellow streak, but maybe that's just because I was picked on as a kid. And as a teenager. And as an adult.

[doctorbob]

This is getting expensive. I am down two pizzas and hold the anchovies. Thanks Chris and I getting ready for the high speed pass to LA for the autoshow this weekend to look first hand at this car. Bob

P.S. Tell me when you want the pizzas delivered to the Marshall residence.

Oh, and here is a quick clip of the ACR testing at Putnam Park - enjoy!

[doctorbob]

Yep..Chuck is going to have significant "need for speed and need for that ACR". Love the sound of that car. Did you "share" that clip to Chuck's private messages? That car is seriously growing on me. After all the issues I had earlier this year on whether to buy a coupe or another convertible and wanting something different...this comes along. Damn. I am lucky I am down only two pizzas.

Looks awesome!

 

[Smog Dog]

Dodge and SRT really did a great job with the 2008 Viper. There is something for all of us this time. This new ACR really gets right in your face. I think more than a few of the GenII guys are going to be dragged kicking and screaming into the SRT camp by the ACR. SRT really did listen....GREAT JOB!!

 

[Catwood]

Looks awesome!

ordered....

 

[Cop Magnet]

I've never seen a car more deserving of black -- with or without the stripe -- except maybe the batmobile. That thing looks like an Stealth fighter jet.

Even though there are no direct visual similarities, my first reaction when seeing Austin's all black ACR photoshop was the all black, V-8 Interceptor from the movie Mad Max.

What is it going to be like actually driving on the track with that stripe to follow? I am having some trouble visualizing that. Can someone mock up an 'on board' video?

Very surprised there are not more comments on this video. The beginning of the shot where the driver hit the dirt was interesting, but the really good parts were the exit out of the first turn and then the constant acceleration up to the corner. For the life of me, I could not see brake lights and he travelled like a bat out of ---- through the corner. That baby can corner but good.

 

[Y2K5SRT]

Pretty awesome indeed! Oh, and somebody asked about the "track extension" for the front splitter. It will come in the trunk of the car and can be attached (and detached) easily by the owner. Also interesting to note that the splitter has replaceable skid plates on it for those eventual driveway rashes...

 

[PatentLaw]

Somebody smart is going to buy a load of those babies. When they stop making them, they are going to be very valuable. I can see curb hits, etc. by unwary drivers on the street.

 

[xlr8ion]

So the extention is not installed on the show car???????

CORRECT! You guys (and gals) are all getting exciting over the wimpy STREET version of the ACR! The only reason there haven't been any pictures posted with the track extension is that they would need a defibrillator for Chuck...

LOL---call your doctor if it lasts more than 4 hours!

 

[tbsviper]

Im showing grey. I know its not an option, but it was a color I liked and thought looked nice. Just thought I'd share.

I agree that is a sharp color combination. While I understand Viper White is also not offered, do you have any thoughts on Viper White with stripes. Can you work your magic on a rendition? Thanks and super job on your graphics!

I've been defibrillating my brains out since the first stats were posted.

THAT is going to be a tough one. White is a very difficult color to pull off. I will see if I can do one, but I cant guarantee a good result.

Here is an orange one I did for a member.

I guess that makes me #3? Thanks Bill P!

I don't know why this car rocked my world... I guess it was because I missed my old Viper so much. Hmmmm, they look somewhat similar

Austin, another great graphic to visualize the final product. Can you or another member tell me if the orange or violet have ever been offered before or are they new for 2008 like the snakeskin green? Thanks!

The orange and violet are new colors for the Viper and are two of the five NEW colors that have never been on a viper before the 2008 model year.

Question:

I just spoke to a leading Dodge dealer and they tell me only 100 ACRs will be built, anyone able to confirm that?

thx

Sounds like absolute and utter BS. So, Dodge would go to all that development time and expense for only 100 cars??? Go to another dealer.
