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. ---

> [@BigRon](#): > > ACR comes with Michelin Pilot Sports Cup tires, which are indeed R-Comps 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. ---

> [@OfficerK](#): > > 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. ---
