ACR Viper vs Corvette ZR1

[Master Shake]

this is at the nurburgring.
AnthonyF mentioned something about the vette always losing to the viper, so i had to find a vid of the 2 competing.

and found nothing in the search.

[AnthonyF]

^the 2008 ACR Viper did beat the ZR1 with an N/A engine. :goodjob: It also smoked the R35. So sad they are getting rid of the Viper but oh well.

-Ant.

[Master Shake]

does suck they are getting rid of it, but i kinda understand why though. its not like everyone can afford the car. but chrysler is also getting rid of the pt cruiser, which i completely understand that. the car is a piece of shit anyway.

and the vette just seems to always be the underdog, and whatever they try to do to out the viper, it just never works, but then again, the viper is also running 2 extra cylinders which is allowing more power/torque for the car, might have a little more weight, but the power difference makes up for it.

and i had to post the vid since everyone was all like "zr1 kicked a ferrari's ass"
well the vette has been getting its ass kicked by dodge for a good 10 years now.:lmfao:

[AnthonyF]

The Ferrari weighs a good few hundred pounds more than the ZR1.

The viper is "expensive" it just isn't Chryslers money maker. They dont make very much money on the Viper.

Fact: There are more Vettes made in ONE year than ALL of the vipers ever produced combined.

vette underdog.........wut???!???!??!??! um ok compared to the viper hmmm idk wat to say im going to have to do some research

[Elbow]

A guy I know ordered a new ACR a few months ago.

They are MEAN cars. I haven't driven one, but from the reviews and videos they are true raw driver cars and still beat the new age Playstation powered GTR type mobiles.

[Master Shake]

vette underdog.........wut???!???!??!??! um ok compared to the viper hmmm idk wat to say im going to have to do some researchstock vs stock, viper is gonna win. you can research all you want, its a fact.

the zr1 won't be able to keep up with the acr, i haven't found a video of the cars doing a straight line run, but i'll look, and honestly i think the acr would take the zr1 in that too.

[Master Shake]

did a pretty good search for the specs on the ZR1.
this is what i found
* 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds
* 0-100 mph in 7.0 seconds
* Quarter-mile elapsed time of 11.3 seconds at 131 mph
* 205 mph top speed

and the ACR Viper
ok i can't really find anything on this one. if someone else can, please do!

[AnthonyF]

-Ant.nice.
i seen it, but was looking for like official times, just to show. i did find all base model vipers, they run like i think 60ft is like 3.6 or something, and 1/4 of about 11.7

[DieselNuts]

That Viper PWNS hard. I'd like to see what the vette can do with an intake, pulley and a tune.

[AnthonyF]

I can't find ANYTHING on it. I believe they are keeping it under wraps. I've been on viperclub.org and searched everywhere. I can't find anything on the ACR.

I know one reason is b/c Dodge doesnt care what the car makes in a 1/4 mile, don't we all know by now it's what you did around the 'Ring?

-Ant.

-Ant.yea, i couldn't find shit on it either.
i think it might be able to run with .1 or .2 of the zr1, but they focused mainly on the body/aero and downforce. they thing loves some extreme highspeed turns.

[AnthonyF]

^exactly. At 150mph the ACR has 1,000lbs of downforce. HOLY HELL

-Ant.

[OneSlow5pt0]

Z06s will out run a SRT-10.

i like vipers and vettes,i think thier great for each other like the mustang and camaro...but the viper is not end all american sportscar.

and im pretty sure ZR1s can run in the 10s.

[AnthonyF]

Z06s will out run a SRT-10.
lol. Gen III Verts, Maybe/yes.


i like vipers and vettes,i think thier great for each other like the mustang and camaro...but the viper is not end all american sportscar.What? It's not a sportscar. It's an Exotic. The Vette is considered an American sportscar.


and im pretty sure ZR1s can run in the 10s.
So can a honda, whats your point?

-Ant.

[OneSlow5pt0]

C6 Z06s run mid 11s in stock form,and ZR1s will run high 10s..........these both faster than the stock Vipers they are up against.

well the ACR is the ZR1s rival so i was just stating the ZR1 is faster.

i mean just cause u like the viper,doesnt mean u have to hate the vette.

[AnthonyF]

C6 Z06s run mid 11s in stock form,and ZR1s will run high 10s..........these both faster than the stock Vipers they are up against.You use that term "faster" loosely don't you?


well the ACR is the ZR1s rival so i was just stating the ZR1 is faster.
No it's not. The ZR1 is a waste of metal.


i mean just cause u like the viper,doesnt mean u have to hate the vette.I dont hate the real Vette's. Ahhh the ones from the 50's and 60's. :goodjob:

What was the time of the ACR around the ring? What was the ZR1's?

Why are you stating that the ZR1 is faster?

-Ant.

[AnthonyF]

What I find hilarious is the fact that the ZR1 cost $120,000 while the ACR cost $99,000. The ACR is N/A while the ZR1 is boosted. The ACR has already out ran the ZR1 with $20,000 less to spend. So, that being said...think what the Viper owner could do with that extra $20,000...

If the Vette actually out performed the Viper I would give them credit for it. But a drag strip is pointless. Exotic cars are NOT MADE for the 1/4 mile. They don't give 2 shits about a drag strip.

-Ant.

[OneSlow5pt0]

see saying the ZR1 is waste of metal...it hating the vettes.

on the street the Z06 and ZR1 are better cars.

Again, you use the wrong words.

Comfortable might be a more correct word. But please state how they are "better" since you have driven or know so much about all 3 cars.

HERES THE BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VETTES AND VIPERS (from a civilian on the road)

"Hey, look...a Z06. Sweet"

"WHOA! Holy Shit a Viper!"

-Ant.

[OneSlow5pt0]

well the Viper is a V10,so i dont see how u can hate on them having a S/C V8..

i really dont care if the viper is little faster on the track,i just dont see why u cant respect the corvette.

[_Christian_]

I personally like the ACR, but I'm a Viper fanboy.

[Master Shake]

^exactly. At 150mph the ACR has 1,000lbs of downforce. HOLY HELL

-Ant.exactly!!!, so its running 600hp, like 720tq, and with aero specs on the car that is just fucking ridiculous.




see saying the ZR1 is waste of metal...it hating the vettes.

on the street the Z06 and ZR1 are better cars.honestly, the ACR isn't made for the street. the base model viper is, but the ACR is more of a exotic track car open to the public for the streets. i wouldn't really recommend the ACR being used for daily drive ability, car was built with some pretty adnormal aspects to it, where as most of it woudn't do on the street unless you were doin like a buck twenty everywhere you went. read what i first quote with this reply. and tell me where things like that play in street driving? it wasn't for it to go in a straight line, thats for sure.

[OneSlow5pt0]

well guss that makes the vette even betetr since its a mass produced sportscar that keeps up with a "exotic"

[Master Shake]

well guss that makes the vette even betetr since its a mass produced sportscar that keeps up with a "exotic"on a straight away, but the straights isn't whats gonna get your ass away from the cops! :police:
flying down asome curvy back roads and you're ass just turned into a ghost!

[OneSlow5pt0]

on a straight away, but the straights isn't whats gonna get your ass away from the cops! :police:

but u act like the ZR1 isnt a good handling car..........it was right behind the fucking Enzo,Zonda and MC12...LOL

[AnthonyF]

LOLOLOL @ ZR1 a EXOTIC

Sorry, but it isn't.

I don't know if you saw this fact but here you go:

"There are more Vettes made in ONE year than all the Vipers put together"

-Ant.

[AnthonyF]

+15 or more to Tran. lol.

-Ant.

[AnthonyF]

HT-your right though, the ZR1 WAS behind those....and the Viper.

-Ant.

[OneSlow5pt0]

i never called a ZR1 a exotic.......so idk where u got that from.

[OneSlow5pt0]

i give up...........

[srt-4life]

Viper owned too bad there getting rid of it just like the srt-4neons :(*

[AnthonyF]

^well put.

-Ant.

[Master Shake]

i never called a ZR1 a exotic.......so idk where u got that from.the vette is just a upgraded street car, ACR is a track car. the vette was behind all those cars, and all those cars were behind the Viper.

around the 'ring, the viper is holding the #1 spot for best time, now if thats not some great perfomance, then i don't know what is. vette could hold its own on a straight, but it straight gets owned on a track.

vette is a good car, it just doesn't have what it takes to out-perform the acr. now, if the zr1 was focused on the aerodynamics and not the hp and 1/4 times then it could hang with the viper. wether you know this or not, the acr viper, is basically a base model viper with a very highly designed aero body.

for some, its not all about the straight line driving.

[Brian*]

Now that is hauling ass
