Pretty cool to have the record go to an American car.
nasty, but whats the acr-x?
bullshit fucking car. Typical american style to toss in a car with R-comp tires and full race track aero just so they could take the prize. IMO this should be competing with cars like the Zonda R and not production spec vehicles.
Holy shit! Did you guys know there’s a guy on here with a Viper!!! Is THAT him??
dude thats a production car. You can walk into a dodge dealership tomorrow and buy that same exact car. My buddy was looking at getting one in 2010, but he ended up not getting it because it doesnt have any power options, no ac etc. Its a direct race car. Its no different then the mustang cobra jet.
Wait, the ACR-X is not being produced or sold so its not a production car. Take it off that list.
Even if it was, it got beat by:
7:11.57 Gumpert Apollo Sport
6:55 Radical SR8
if you drop it down to the non-production, non-street going car it would be beat by these:
6:47.50 Pagani Zonda R
6:58.16 Ferrari 599XX
So what record does it hold?
the article is about the ACR (production one) that did 7.12
not the ACR-X that did 7.03
So either way, it doesn’t hold a record?
I curious what tires they had on it. Looking at the list it looks like Chevy started off the whole R-comp thing with the ZR1 and now Porsche and dodge are reciprocating. LFA was done on legit street tires though.
Meh
Nice car for sure. Don’t really think this time means shit though. Production or not this thing is hardly a street car
LFA > that Viper
Werd. Neither of the times are recrods. Maybe set record for fastest American car? Or te fastest Dodge Viper ACR?
:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl
“The 2010 Dodge Viper ACR set a new major automaker production car (excluding artisanal automakers like Gumpert and Radical) record run of the Nordschleife in just 7:12 and change.”
I would expect so, considering you can buy 3 different color acr’s and still have money left over for the price of 1 lfa
fastest dodge neon
Viper ACR is less 1/4 the price of an LFA nurburgring edition. R-comps or not this is extremly impressive. Im sure if the LFA gets some new tires it will shave 4-7 seconds but the fact that a 100k car can run with a 450k car is badass
.
^ :rofl
Why would a Viper, ZR1, or LFA get compared to this thing? The Radical was clearly built to do one thing and that is definetly not to drive on public roads.
Good one.
