Who's waiting for the ACR ( or track version of the gen V) ?

[bushido]

As a track rat count me in,but I wanted to see who else was doing the same. Thank's..

 

[Allan]

You don't consider the TA as worthy offering?

If there's going to be two track versions to choose from. Then it's the ACR for me..

 

[mnc2886]

I would have figured that we would've seen an ACR teaser by now, but we haven't....

I hope they still plan on making it.

 

[johniew398]

I've had cash in the bank for the next ACR for several months now.

 

[Paul Hawker]

Viper just released a track only model. GT3-R. Based on the LeMans GTS-R.

Not a track rat, but no way I'd get an early Gen 5 with the ACR looming in the future.
I want the best there is and that will surely be it.

Oh and purists be damned put paddle shifters in it. It's 2013!

If the TA is what it is, I can't imagine what the ACR will be.

And I agree, sticks are fun - but SRT needs to keep up with the times. All of the competition is headed towards paddles, SRT will need to. If you want an ultimate performance vehicle, you have to give some...

 

[Nine Ball]

I can't wait to see the new ACR. I'm betting it gets the fog light nose like the GTS-R. Can't see them doing many other changes, other than aero mods. It would be cool if they had 700 hp stock, but not likely.

 

[PDCjonny]

It'll be a heap of money too.

I have a 2009 ACR that I bought new and really like. Never tracked the car, low miles and bought it with an extended warranty. I'll consider the 2014 (?) ACR when it makes an appearance but I'll need some more information. What does it look like, what is the performance vs. the "old" ACR, what it costs and the price difference I would be asked to pay. I would need to see some really attractive "answers" to those questions in order to take the plunge for a new ACR. So my WAG is that I'll keep what I have -- but we'll see once the new ACRs have been out for a bit.

 

[madninjaskillz]

I'm guessing 2015 ACR at earliest and probably 2016, after they release a vert.

 

[BigDawg]

If it's an ACR like the previous with some aero, brake goodies, and suspension slapped on I think it would be a huge slap in the face to wait a few years to release it. Sure they need wind tunnel testing but with the GTS-R experience I'm hoping they have a head start.

The only reason to delay the ACR a few years is if in fact they are creating a true track monster. Wider body, more HP, etc.

My predictions. If ACR comes within the next year and a half it will be similar in offering to the previous. Maybe more interior mods, race inspired seats, etc., but overall the same idea.

If the ACR comes out in a few years it will be far more extreme. A blend between the GTS-R and regular GTS.

 

[bushido]

A dry sump and a dual clutch option would be wonderful..

 

[mnc2886]

I don't care if they decide to add paddle shifters just as long as the good ol' true manual is still an option.

 

[Mopar Boy]

I would have to do some serious thinking if the ACR had the right look......

 

[Next Phase]

I can't see spending that kind of money on a car just for the track; and I don't see driving a dedicated ACR track car everyday....

So the answer for me is no. TA or base track pack car is what I'm debating (if in fact I decide to go with a Gen V)

That's been my dilemma too. Some of my Viper buds are asking me if I really want to track a Stryker Red. I've been thinking about buying an older Z06 and tracking that. If money were no object, I'd have two Vipers. A GTS and a Gen V ACR. I hope I can control myself and not spend the kids' college money when the ACR comes out, lol.

I may wait a couple years and pick up a used Gen V red track pack car, deals ought to be had then. Slap some MCS and aero on it, and go play.

 

[VRYALT3R3D]

I am waiting for the ACR.

When I am able to order one, there will be one in my driveway

 

[sween]

I wouldn't be surprised if SRT is waiting to see what #s Chevys Z06/Zr1 will have, even the new Gallardo replacement.

If the price is going to be alot higher they have to be ready to be the best track car on the market, which I'm sure it will be.

 

[mnc2886]

It'll be a heap of money too.

I'm really hoping they build upon the base SRT to keep the price under $140k, but given where they already went, I doubt they will....

If a $140k Viper isn't selling well right now, I doubt going over it will work. Oh well, I hope that if I love it as much as I bet I will that I can be lucky enough to earn the opportunity to get one.

C'mon SRT! A teaser is way past due!

 

[ACRucrazy]

I think a wicked GTS-R style ACR would be the only Gen V I could give up my '09 for. Even then if its stupid money I will pass. The ACR has always been about performance for the dollar. It has never been about over the top super expensive exotic extras. I would hate to see that happen with a Gen V.

Start with an SRT, offer ******** without the expensive electronics (for a savings!) Keep the brakes/wheels they currently offer as standard. Love the GT3-R aero. Some MCS suspension and more weight redux (seats? battery etc) with a bump in power without redoing the whole engine or costing a fortune and it should be great! If it had the GT3-R/GTS-R style body panels it would be hot hot hot!!

 

[MoparMan]

I am waiting for the ACR.

When I am able to order one, there will be one in my driveway about ten months later.

Fixed it for ya.

 

[HyperViper]

That's funny!

Hang in there Matt, your car will be amazing.

It's going to be real hard for me to let go my ACR too..

 

[MoparMan]

It's still in trim status. Hoping it won't be much longer.

 

[ViperGeorge]

Check out the inside of the rear hatch on a Gen 5. There are two recesses for mounting of the wing. At least I've been told that Ralph himself indicated that is what they are for. So an ACR must be in the cards.

 

[KB Viper]

i just want the gen v race computer and headers, that will be my personal verison of an ACR!

 

[Bill Pemberton Woodhouse]

Interesting question , and I find the answers revealing to a degree, yet the puzzling part is even though we are all pretty sure they will build an ACR in the future ( guess around 2015 ) , there seems to be alot of buzz about the TA. I know we have quite a few deposits and even got another question today on that car, yet the calls about the ACR are no where near as constant. I wonder if the track rats are calling on the TA as the price point should be good for the equipment listed believing the ACR will likely be more than they want to spend because it will approach a cost where many will not want to use it for what it is designed for. Those of us who take our ACRs to the track realize many folks never stretch the legs ( whoops , bad analogy for a reptile devoid of such appendages ,ha ) of the Viper on a road course, yet they want the beast that continues to conquer track after track. So is the TA destined to become the new track rat and the next ACR ( or GT3 , if they elect to call it that ) more of a supreme track machine, but also the top of the line Snake ---meaning more options? I actually like the idea of a little differentiation similar to say the ZO6 and the ZLI, and it seems the TA and eventually a new ACR/GT3 might be the answer. I just know that considering the past , the majority of the ACRs of the future will see no more track time than the current ones and that is partly what leads me to a possible conclusion that the TA may be the more common track Snake in the future - your thoughts?

 

[VENOM V]

I personally am not that interested in the TA. I'd just get a stripped SRT, add MCS and carbon aero, if I were thinking something like the TA. But my vote is for something more extreme...

I'd rather see a reasonably priced ACR. I want the adjustability and the extreme aero.
