Admittedly the viper always look quite goofy and childish, like a cartoon of sorts. Yet I've always been a fan, seems like a realy fun and wild ride. This new one, looks to be able to set some records, looking forward to.

I like the color combo they went with.

Too early to tell, but if any of you think our beloved GT3 can keep up w/ this new Viper on track, you're not just kidding yourself, but an idiot to boot.
Yes, I'm inviting criticism, so bring it on. I'll call it for what it is.

In the hands of a pro I don't doubt that it will set faster lap times than the new GT3. However, I'm not so sure that will be true in the hands of the average Joe, who does 5 track weekends per year. With tons of torque, mega-downforce and manual everything, driving this monster at even 7/10th's its potential will require someone better skills than the vast majority of enthusiasts. I saw a guy with an earlier version of an ACR put it into a wall on literally his first lap of the track in the thing. This was someone with quite an impressive car collection and many, many track days in other high end machines.

GT3 and Viper ACR. These are 2 different cars designed to achieve the same goal in different ways. If you think the be all end all car is the Viper you are on the wrong forum board.

It's just great to see track-focused options even exist, vive la difference!

I look forward to learning how to tame this car. I'm not a pro driver, but can wheel around a track okay. Put a deposit down Friday and am going to the dealer Thursday after lunch to spec out my allocation based on the contact I got from my Dodge dealer. They are supposed to get the option/price books around lunchtime on Thursday supposedly.
This car isn't going to be as good all-around as the GT3 and as I've told a few friends, I think I'd like a GT3 better overall than the ACR, but I couldn't get a GT3, so I'm getting this ACR and I also have a deposit on a GT4 that I will hopefully get by early next year based on how the allocations go with my P-car dealer here in DFW.
So, the ACR will crush about anything on the track and the GT4 will be a fun around town car with a few track days thrown in just because I'm sure it'll be a blast to toss the GT4 around the track.

Disagree - different goals; GT3 is more all-rounder and I suspect way better on the street. ACR shares goal more with RS; both being more track focused. Question is whether the ACR gets taken to the track as much as it deserves. The old ACR did not get a high percentage track duty.
