> 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
I wouldn’t say it’s badass at all. I have nothing against Vipers or ANY car that can come within 30sec of what it ran around NuR, but I wouldn’t consider it badass. Same reason I don’t think it’s badass when a $5k Civic beats a C6 Vette. People just work with what they got. You can only get so far with X amount of power, a suspension setup, weight and tires. Two cars with similar power, weight, tires, and suspension geometry shouldn’t be too far off in times.

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.**

I don’t think one person here said it was unimpressive. I think a majority are just “upset” that Dodge is setting their own record classes. It’d be similar to a top fuel drag racing team saying “we set the fastest record for top fuel cars under 300mph.”
There are faster production cars, but they don’t want to include them so they can say it’s their record. They’re trying to create a gray area on what’s a production car in order to cause people to question the faster cars and reclassify them.

Blame reading comprehension levels?
Back on topic…
They specify in the article that is a major manufacturer production car record. Essentially that’s like breaking down records that already exist.
Record -\> Record for a car -\> record for a production car -\> record for a production car made by a major company.
What’s next? Breaking it down to fastest major manufacturer production car by wheel size? Tire size? Color? Engine configuration?
I’m not saying the “record” is bad at all, good for Dodge trying to set records for cars that are no longer made. I’m going there next week to set fastest E46 BMW M3 record on street tires with a fat driver and stock suspension record. I’ll let you guys know how it goes.

A production car is different than a production race car. The Viper has no power, a/c, like you stated. It also doesn’t use street tires and is only street legal if you remove the front splitter, which makes a huge difference. It may be available for purchase and be street legal, but how can you compare it to an LFA, GTR, ZR1, etc that have all the street car amenities? Remove the a/c, power, nav etc and throw R-Compound tires on an LFA, GTR, or ZR1 and see how the ACR fares against them.
Also, you can’t compare the ACR to the Cobra Jet because the Cobra Jet will never be able to drive on the road legally. It has no vin number.
