Viper ACR-X (FAST!!!)
Ran a 2:08.6 earlier this weekend at Sebring with Kuno Whitmer driving.
That's insanely fast for a car weighing over 3000 lbs. |
any pictures, i love that car!!
|
ACR-X is a helluva car, and Wittmer is a great shoe....but I believe the factory-claimed weight & engine power of this SPECIFIC pre-production car are not quite accurate. ;)

Probably right. It ran 1:30-1:31 at Leguna on R6's though which is realistic compared to the regular ACR which ran 1:33. On slicks that's high 1:20s'.
Point is at the very least, it's about Cup Car fast on similar tires. (maybe not the 2010). Which is astounding for a 110k car. PS. I am not at Sebring, this came from one of the development guys posting on Viper Club. Therefore no pics. |
600+ stated HP (probably closer to 700 in pre-production form) and slicks sure would have no problem doing Cup times in the hands of a good driver. Sort of like "enhanced" cars that get stellar times on the 'Ring: the goal is to sell cars! :D

I agree, it's pretty easy to throw 700-800 hp + big df at something and run Cup times.
Still Kudos to Dodge for doing it anyways and making it available to everyone. |

Is it a VRL event? If I can bring my car and drive I may come.

Yes. And yes. Didn't know you had one, sorry. July 10-11 (not sure yet about a Friday open track day). I will be doing some coaching, as well as acting as CDI (for the DE/Challenge time trials) and Chief Race Steward. Professional Racing and Driving Coach |
I don't have a Viper but if I'm not mistaken they allow other cars in the Driving School/Time Attack thing they do.

Yes, absolutely. Professional Racing and Driving Coach |
The ACR puts down VERY impressive times for a 3400lb + driver car...sure its got monster tires and HP, but still impressive times...

Factory lists the weight as 3,190 + driver. Professional Racing and Driving Coach |
Iceman, you are talking about the regular ACR which weighs 3375 or so. The ACR-X is the non street legal version which drops a couple hundred lbs. Same car, different variations. We were talking about the race car version of the ACR called the X

Good thing Marchionne is calling the shots at Chrysler, somehow I don't see Obama letting GM make a car like this. |
