The ACR is street legal because no rollcage.Its got a full interior and all epa requirerments.I had a black one and its not a dd but if you want the ultimate track car you can drive home this is it.

Gt3 are nice but when the ACR blows by you at the track it does make you wish you had one at that time.

Having tracked both cars at Willow Springs, I can tell you the 08+ Vipers are much faster than the GT3 and the RS. That being said, the Viper will kill you faster too. It is very unforgiving and easy to get over your head in. Also, the Porsches are built better, smell better, sound better, and in my opinion, more fun to drive.

And it has all the DOT equipment (which Cup cars do not).

4.5 pounds/HP would be pretty serious...

I am not sure which is uglier the viper or the prowler!!! If I bought a viper I would use a Pontiac Aztek as the tow vehicle!!!
