Default Viable alternative to GT3RS

So you can't get the RS, and you really do want a track car to drive on track and you'd like a manual transmission. Would you consider the 2016 Viper ACR?

Stupid big wing. Stupid torque. Ridonculous power. Composite brakes.

This car will be a beast. As a multiple viper owner in addition to my pcars, I have a deposit on one. You can have it painted any color scheme you want with no pts mafia games.
My 15 GT3 is the only street car to compare to my Gen IV ACR on the track.

Even better than the concept ACR at SEMA. I don't see how the RS could keep up on track.

I don't think ANYTHING short of maybe a 918 or P1 in the "street car" realm will be able to keep up with this '16 ACR. It's going to be an absolute track day monster right off the showroom floor.

I want one.....

I've always lusted for one, but could never pull the trigger,...

'16 ACR would be trackday king.

Having owned a 2010 Viper I can say that will be one hell of a car but the wing is totally out of control for the street....I mean seriously?.....Really?.....I will bet however it will be one of the greatest track cars to date though....

2000lbs of downforce is what they are saying the wing provides, fully functional. Hope they establish a new ring record.

I'd rather have a Cayman GT4. Don't care which is faster.

Me too! But probably easier to get a 991rs than a gt4 at the moment!

RS is an RS there's no substitute
not cgt not 918
not la Ferrari
not p1
they are all different
but nine are RS
it's not about superiority
it's about rs

^ and they are correct
I also love Ferrari
but they aren't RS
and RS isn't a speciale either
the idea of SUBSTITUTING something bc u cannot get it doesn't work for me...
I want what I want
i wait, beg, steal... but I want IT not a substitute of IT
