He was factory testdriver and helped to develop the ACR

 

[Jonne]

First 1994 built date was 08/02/1993 and last built date for 1994 was 08/23/1994 so a little bit over a year (year and 21 days) ?

Tomball Dodge provided two ACR's off their showroom floor for the trip to the Nurburgring. (2011)

How were they painted?

 

[Jonne]

Red ACR and Snakesgreen with black stripes and sides

 

[Jonne]

There was also silver with black stripes, but not sure if it came from Tomball also?

 

[ViperJohn]

Silver with black center stripe and silver drivers stripe.

 

[Jonne]

I'm guessing the red cam from factory, so silver with driver stripe and black sides and snake green with driver stripe and black sides

 

[ViperJeff]

As a follow up Triva question

What two other performance vehicles went with the two ACR's?


No, they have not been previously identified in the discussion

 

[Jonne]

Pump! Keeping the post alive. so tomball sent the silver (w. driver stripe) and Red (w. driver stripe) for the test since dodge did not have any, and guessing the two other cars where Challenger and Charger

 

[ViperJeff]

I will confirm answers tonight, however, the Charger, Challenger answer is not correct

 

[MoparMap]

SRT8 Grand Cherokee for one? Would make a good gear/support vehicle and be fun to run at the Ring too.

[broomrider]

[ViperJeff]

We all know one should properly break in a new car.

How were the two Tomball Dodge Vipers broke in before the Nurburgring record attempt? (2011) ... or where they?

They were handpicked from Tomball Dodge and sent immediately to Germany. Farnbacher was the driver of one of the Vipers and when he broke that record, it was his first
Time driving a viper.

 

[ViperJeff]

Um...... No

 

[Jonne]

The cars were "broke in" at the Nurburgring track, since the hot lap testing was done in two days, first day 9/12 about 4hrs testing (on a wet track about 7.15's), and second day 9/14 when they finally hit the final lap 7.12.13

 

[ViperJeff]

You're all going to hate me... they were broke in, in the USA. How and where is the answer to the question
