The ACR is one hell of a car. Can't wait for the ACRX.

They may be American, but POS? They are really hand-crafted race cars, rough around the edges, not like a cadivette. The suspension design is better than a 911, but lacks the fine tuning. Mine makes me smile every time I get to drive it, like a classic 50s or 60s sports car, you don't ride in it, you need to actually drive it

It could use better seats and shocks, that would really improve it. Adding Toyo R tires was a huge improvement, now I can use the throttle unless it's very cold out

And people are friendly to Viper drivers, it's a fun car, not like if you are driving an Italian exotic.

It's a ridiculous car which is one reason I like it. If everyone drove Vipers it would be a happier world and a lot of the jerks would have killed themselves

I don't think they will sell enough of them to actual racers for a spec series.

The Viper crowd is much like the Corvette Crowd in where older guys will buy a ACR to sit in the garage or for a weekend driver (that should be illegal) and are more worried about resale value than apex speed.

If they can run with the Comp Coupes they could just fit right in with the VRL though or maybe the Comp Coupe VRL guys will just switch. The races are too small to be considered significant compared to SCCA, NASA, etc.

You were too busy in conversation, and name-calling is the best you have, isn't it? Unlike you, I have manners. You needed a shave, though. Good grief. And please leave your sexual peccadilloes off this board.

Mike, I agree. Whyne has never been on track, so....

Car is alleged to be $100K.
