Shut yo' mouth!]]>Nov 8th 2007 3:29PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/new-dodge-viper-acr-breaks-cover-on-autoweek-cover/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/new-dodge-viper-acr-breaks-cover-on-autoweek-cover/
street legal racecar, i wonder how streetable it is?]]>Nov 8th 2007 1:49PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/new-dodge-viper-acr-breaks-cover-on-autoweek-cover/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/new-dodge-viper-acr-breaks-cover-on-autoweek-cover/
That IS one bad-a$$ mutha. I can't even fathom driving this beast. I mean, there's no way you'd want it on your daily commute (i dont think anyone would want ANY viper as their daily commute) but some fun on the track, car shows and the odd sunday drive - crazy! Love it.]]>Nov 8th 2007 1:52PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/new-dodge-viper-acr-breaks-cover-on-autoweek-cover/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/new-dodge-viper-acr-breaks-cover-on-autoweek-cover/Nov 8th 2007 4:17PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/new-dodge-viper-acr-breaks-cover-on-autoweek-cover/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/new-dodge-viper-acr-breaks-cover-on-autoweek-cover/
Height adjustable suspension with one of the settings as low as 2.5 inches of ground clearance, plus the rest of aerodynamic package seen today in GT1 class (front splitter, flat bottom, rear diffuser) will make 2G cornering a reality for mass-produced sports cars.

GM should focus on this for their next Corvette, not on useless DOHC engines, rear mid-engine configuration or any other pointless engineering exercise.]]>Nov 8th 2007 1:52PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/new-dodge-viper-acr-breaks-cover-on-autoweek-cover/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/new-dodge-viper-acr-breaks-cover-on-autoweek-cover/
I'm looking forward to SRT making a new Challenger ACR, T/A and other variants.]]>Nov 8th 2007 2:00PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/new-dodge-viper-acr-breaks-cover-on-autoweek-cover/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/new-dodge-viper-acr-breaks-cover-on-autoweek-cover/
I wonder how Chrysler/Dodge can make such a badass car, yet the rest of the lineup is utter garbage? This thing looks awesome!]]>Nov 8th 2007 2:29PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/new-dodge-viper-acr-breaks-cover-on-autoweek-cover/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/new-dodge-viper-acr-breaks-cover-on-autoweek-cover/Nov 8th 2007 2:46PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/new-dodge-viper-acr-breaks-cover-on-autoweek-cover/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/new-dodge-viper-acr-breaks-cover-on-autoweek-cover/Nov 8th 2007 2:51PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/new-dodge-viper-acr-breaks-cover-on-autoweek-cover/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/new-dodge-viper-acr-breaks-cover-on-autoweek-cover/
Hardly comparable. ]]>Nov 8th 2007 2:57PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/new-dodge-viper-acr-breaks-cover-on-autoweek-cover/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/new-dodge-viper-acr-breaks-cover-on-autoweek-cover/Nov 8th 2007 2:53PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/new-dodge-viper-acr-breaks-cover-on-autoweek-cover/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/new-dodge-viper-acr-breaks-cover-on-autoweek-cover/Nov 8th 2007 4:45PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/new-dodge-viper-acr-breaks-cover-on-autoweek-cover/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/new-dodge-viper-acr-breaks-cover-on-autoweek-cover/
To try and dispute that the Viper is a fat-ass even with a "massive" 80 pound weight reduction is just flat out stupid.

This car is nothing special, and the same would easily be accomplished on the Z06. The tires alone would make an -incredible- difference (run-flats vs. street slicks). Finding that having a park bench rear wing and a 3-inch splitter generate downforce is hardly an amazing accomplishment either.

Any way you slice it, those 1,000 pounds of downforce would be more effective on car carrying 200+ fewer pounds.

Thanks for coming out. ]]>Nov 8th 2007 5:16PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/new-dodge-viper-acr-breaks-cover-on-autoweek-cover/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/new-dodge-viper-acr-breaks-cover-on-autoweek-cover/Nov 8th 2007 9:14PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/new-dodge-viper-acr-breaks-cover-on-autoweek-cover/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/new-dodge-viper-acr-breaks-cover-on-autoweek-cover/Nov 9th 2007 5:42AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/new-dodge-viper-acr-breaks-cover-on-autoweek-cover/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/08/new-dodge-viper-acr-breaks-cover-on-autoweek-cover/Nov 9th 2007 10:59AM
