The Japanese import fanboys have been so focused on how great the GT-R is...the car that arrived this year with little or no fanfare is the 08 Viper ACR...truly a track monster and a incredibly proficient alternative to the 997 GT2 at half the price.

That MOPAR is freakin flying, could easily shave a few more seconds off. Then you would be in Edo 996 gt2 7:15 territory.

The GTR hype has been ridiculous. The car is overrated and isnt all that fast at all. Even the so called V-spec is no match for the ACR.

here's something else to chew on about the acr...there are no electronic helpers...it's all driver. just imagine if it had helpers and the driver shifted to 5th a lil more.
