Well, you heard it here first. I would have posted this yesterday, but I was too drunk in the casino, lol.
Its official, you ZR1 and GTR leghumpers better hand over the crown, the Viper ACR just slayed the ZR1 on the ring… without factory support, and WITNESSED by Motor Trend… by FOUR POINT THREE SECONDS. Final Lap Time was 7:22.1, and sits on top of the hill except for the group of extreme power/race cars.
More to come later… off to the Chelsea Proving grounds.
Nice

Hard Core package that sheds another 40 pounds with the elimination of the audio system, trunk carpet, rear cabin sound insulation, tire inflator kit, hood insulator, and steel battery cover.
What tires does the ACR use?
7:22.1 is fucking hauling. :eek:
That car is soooooo hot…
ugh they should have just done away with the vert, its needs to be a coupe

Miss you Dan <3
God I love Vipers
I will own one soon enough.
Wow that is sexy.
is that the stripped down version tho with no radio and nice stuff or is that how they come now?
That takes quite a bit away from the 4 second victory then, considering r-comps can usually get you 2+ seconds on a 50 second autocross. Gaining more than 4 seconds on a 7+ minute track seems pretty easy for the Vette by simply putting on race rubber.
Still, man that Viper looks hot.
I think this is the same article thats in CAR & DRIVER Aug 08. Read it on the plane when I was on the way to NC, really good article.
buahhahahah… people make me laugh when they get all defensive over this stuff.
anyway. Apples to Apples should be compared… I wonder what the vette would do with race rubber.
factory spec=factory spec
True but you are comparing a factory prepped race car (aka no radio) and race rubber with the ZR1 which I am sure has a Bose audio system and street tires so the average vette owner gets at least 10,000 miles out of the tires
This used to be a stop-2-finish race in factory trim. Then Nissan goes in with slicks, runs a rolling start-2-finish and now everyone just does whatever the fuck they want. This is ridiculous. Fuck the ring.
that is insane
