Viper ACR selected production king of the 'Ring

[costanZo]

Viper will still be king of the ring of production cars in 5 years. The Gen 5 ACR is going to be a real mean SOB.

I agree, I can't wait for this!

Did you guys know that the one driving the acr to this record is also Dutch?!

Yep. Tom Coronel. There was a few page article in one of our VIPER quarterly magazines that went into detail with the trip to the ring.
Again. Well documented for everyone to see/verify.

....And so {PHawker} what's your excuse for not being at Chuckwalla on the weekend with NARRA?...

He misplaced his driving shoes!!

...The purpose of a dead pedal is to directly link the driver to the chassis, as opposed to providing a comfortable place to place your foot.

A proper dead pedal will be made of metal, with no padding, and solidly mounted to the chassis with no insulation. When the car is braking, or cornering it supplies the driver valuable information about the track surface, and how the tires and suspension are reacting to the track surface.

This is also the reason that most driving shoes have thin soles, to aid in the tactile experience....

Two things always bug me about that vid. One shift into the wrong gear and the constant pounding on the rev limiter. Everyone of us knows that with the amount of torque we have there are gains to be made shifting up and down rather than bouncing along on the limiter. What could have been......... GTS Bruce

Tom was new to the car........ very knowledgable 'Ring-Rats have suggested there were 2-3 more SECONDS that more seat time could have netted Tom or others. And the 2010 gearing would have helped too.......
