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

[cwhiteboy]

Its a mans car....I mean a real mans car, not like a gay ass skyline metrosexual mans car....but like a hairy chested, thick necked, 400 plus pound bench press kind of mans car. Its a car that takes skill to drive you don't just point it in the general direction you want to go and stand on the gas like you do with the GTR. You actually have to put some thought into driving it. You turn it in and ask it politely if it wouldn't mind if you went around this turn quickly...sometimes it say yes sometimes it says no...and when it says no you grab it with your big ass man arms and you tell it listen here you are going to fukking go where I tell you and your going to like it.....then it crashes you into a wall and you go backward through the pearly gates in a fireball.....yes its that kind of ****ing cool.

You shouldn't even be allowed to mention the gtr in the same breath as the Viper or the Corvette for that matter.

OMG, just made my week man, that was some of the funniest ****.

I have to agree, I do love the GTR, its a "pretty" car, but what I hate the most about it is its not a drivers car. The Viper is just the basic, no bullsh!t. Man, and that time on the ring is just astounding, great thread EJ.

My biggest problem with the GTR is it is WAY too heavy. The GTR needs all that motor stock just to get out of its own way. 3900 lbs from the factory?? Are you kidding, I have seen Buicks from the 50's that are lighter. Sports cars should not be heavy and save. I drive a BMW 2002 (and I may speak for the guy with the miata above) and I know if I have a serious accident on the street, I am probably going to die. However, while I am driving, there is no more direct and involved driving experience than a light, front engine RWD sports car/coupe.
