Default Bye bye ACR, hello 2RS!

Traded in the Viper ACR for a slightly used GT/RS. Hoping it will arrive this week and can’t wait! I’ve dreamed about a GT2RS for a while, so finding this was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. Will be frequenting this section of RL a bit more in the coming years.



The new ride

Soon to be gone. These are amazing bang for the buck!

Congrats, that's a beauty of a color combo! I for one will not be upset seeing your avatar in posts outside of the Racing/DE section.

The ACR is a perfect example of just how great the GT3 RS is.

huh? The ACR is an amazing car. At the time, I was trying to get a 3RS, but the 100k ADMs were insanity. So I ordered an ACR for under sticker, drove it for 4 years and traded it in for more than I paid. All in all a good deal .

If a GT3 is a scalpel, the ACR is a meat cleaver. It’s awesome to drive On track, and not that bad on the street either. It does attract a ton of attention though.

I think you misunderstood my message.

It was actually a compliment to the GT3 RS based on how good the ACR is.

The ACR, from my limited time behind the wheel, is an amazing machine -- grip and downforce like the hand of God is pushing the car -- but the thing has so many failings that is unfortunately so emblematic of Dodge products -- terrible interior materials, grabby and chunky gearbox, and sight lines that would make a Camaro blush. Then you get into a GT3 RS, you realize that Porsche mimics the ACR in terms of driving capabilities about 8/10ths but improves everything else (interior UI, materials, layout, sight lines) by about 11/10ths.

Oh, and don't even get me started on those exhaust pipes on the ACR ...

The ACR is a great track weapon for sure, but the best bang for the buck is clearly #3 on this list.

The sight lines are truly horrid. It's like being in a jet fighter but with half the canopy blacked out. Cant see squat. But the gearbox is ok and the interior is certainly better than a Tesla! No doubt I am excited for the refinement of the Porsche, as I agree it will be better in nearly every way.

She's a beaut, love the paint. Congrats...don't forget to join the GT2 RS FB group too. But Dude, No Mag wheels? WP, Mag and LWBS were on my must have list, with GR my preference. But your GT car looks awesome, enjoy, they are Engineering masterpieces that also happen to look like supermodels.
