Ring Bomb of the Day: Dodge Viper ACR laps 'Ring in record 7:22.1 [w/VIDEO] "Yes!"

[EJ25RUN]

God I love those cars. Good to see that raw racecars are still being built for production.

That was great "Real" driving. Autoblog wrote 1 bouched gear change but it was actually 2. He missed coming out of Adenauer Forst.

How much more simple can you get?


Again. He is working to drive it and that is what most impresses me. He hasn't got an electronic 4wd system, a chassis developed in part by Lotus, No, it is just him fighting ten cylinders and chassis that could be ranked at best average. Brilliant driving on the part of that man and i hope Vipers will start selling like they used to again. I know that in Japan, the Chevrolet Corvette is sold as its own brand of car. With the financial woes of Chrysler LLC now, i hope they make more of that push to insure the Viper lives on.
