Funny you should mention the starvation. I was at a Chrysler press event once and the pro driver giving thrill rides spun a bearing in an SRT-10 convertible. That said it was probably the wildest track ride of my life and I've been in a car with Rohrl. Driver was a French-Canadian guy names Claude Bourbonais. Holy fast!

There's a new viper acr-x full race spec rated at 640hp coming out. Seems like a bargain at $110K. Mike

I can't wait to run into an ACR on the track at VIR and go head to head with my GT2, hell even drive one... They are heavily competent in the right hands, i've been in the older ACR with a pro driver around Limerock, hardly a course for such a car and it was FAST!
