Motor Trend quote "Stock ACR specification with Hardcore Package"Originally Posted by HypnoToad
With that wing, yeah, that is the Hardcore package.
all this Zr1 and gtr talk, everyone forgot about the ole ACR! Nice post!
Damn right.
JITB, i gotta admit. Anyone that calls you a GTR nut swinger is stupid. You got that common sense.
BUT I AM!
no vids?
Ring Bomb of the Day: Dodge Viper ACR laps 'Ring in record 7:22.1 [w/VIDEO] "Yes!"
I want!!!!!!!
One Big Ass Mistake America
That's an impressive time no doubt.
Props to them...thanks for sharing.
Out of the 3 I say its the most "all out." I wander what it laps on street tires, apparently the "hardcore package" comes with race tires. GTR's lap times on street or race tires? If I was to buy 1 of the 3 it would probably be the viper.... Just look at it. I must say Dodge really stepped up the interior on the new vipers. That was the biggest turn off with the old ones.
The issue on the other forums has been the tires and ....the splitter
But here is what Michelin say about their tire.Well the ZR1 did use Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires, while the ACR used the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup. As in this picture, the two tires are totally different, and look how "slick" the cup tires are:
So don't tell me these tires don't make a difference.... because they practically do. As for the GT-R V-Spec, I don't really know what tire they used, but I'm sure its not something like the Sport Cup tires....
Street Legal, Competition Ready. A DOT-approved competition tire, the Michelin® Pilot® Sport Cup tire offers extreme cornering grip and consistent lap times.
Features and Benefits
*
Consistent Performance — Lap After Lap
A race-inspired tread compound results in enduring performance characteristics in both wet and dry conditions, with consistent lap times over the entire life of the tire.
*
Powerful Performance Cornering
An asymmetric tread design utilizes a semislick outer tread and a wet-styled inner tread design to help deliver powerful wet and dry cornering, promoting high performance confidence.
*
Race-Like Reflexes
The high-tensile steel cords and polyamide belt package help provide enormous support for the tread and crown areas for consistently powerful cornering capability and quick steering responses.
DOT Quality Grades (UTQG Ratings)
Treadwear Grade 80 <--------
Traction Grade AA
Temperature Grade A
Isn't that faster then the ZR-1?
yep and cheaper
+1 for you being a GM owner and telling the truth.
+1 to Mopar for being my Detroit Choice
hmmm
80 is a little more than a pure track compound. That some hell grip.
yea,i dont like this.........but hey.guess we will have to wait to see some real ZR1 vs ACR
ZR1 - $120,000 bucks correct? somewhere around there
ACR- $95,000-98,000
ZR1- Super charged
ACR- N/A

Your are wrong about the price of the ZR1. The mark up is crazy high on that car not sure on the ACR. I think Mr.Kidd did a thread on the mark up a few weeks ago.
**Found it****
TO ALL THE ZR1 LOVERS! LOL@ PRICETAG
My current vehicles
04 A4 GTO
02 A Camry
Those are some really good pictures. That car looks amazing.
Could you imagine navigating 8.4litres of fury around that track w/o any electronics. I am sure that wing is more than needed.
After watching the video he could possibly shave a second or so off from the misshifts, but that car is badass. Another lap in the car he could definitely be in the 7:20.8 range. I hope this car is on GT5.
edit: lol, I am getting confused between the 3 threads.

I can..sorta. I've navigated the 8.3L along 85 and all over GA, but then I had to put it back in the garage. (It's dads)

Sure cant spell it.
LOL can you say jealous?
Can you say yes. Lol.
In the 10 minutes I spent in one, it was surprisingly easy to drive.
No idea how it performs at its limits though.
I saw the vid on viperclub.org The car is absolutely perfect. The driver is a little jerky with the wheel in the video and the gearing seems incorrect but that course you can't really have the "perfect" gearing.
ACR > ZR-1 all day...every day.

I would drive the hell out of the Viper and probably kill myself in the process....it's just a beast of a car.
simply stunning......number and the car itself. I wasn't really diggin the Devil's Stripe, but the red paint scheme really did it from me...i am in love.
I love the stripe, makes it look evil. Which is more than appropriate.
I have to admit, I adore the way that viper looks - freakin SICK.
Forget the ZR1, I'd take one of these anyday. Beast of a motor, monster of a car!
Technically speaking the ZR1 is 99k-105 MSRP. Pretty close to the Viper, but I doubt you can find either of em without markup.
This WILL CHANGE - as the "omfg look its the new ZR1/ACR" factor wears off, the prices will go down.
Has the FGT been on the ring yet? Wonder how it did.
For that matter I wonder how the Z06 would do with real tires on it.
well dont put down the vette,without it thier would be no viper...........i love having both cars in the automotive world
lol @ acr not having any markup....
So he was in 2nd 3rd for most of the run?? Crazy.
Incorrect sir. Without the Shelby Cobra...there would be no Viper.
There isn't. SRT-10 was at 92k first, then the SRT-10 coupe was at 98k, the Viper ACR is supposed to be right at 96-98k
3rd,4th and 5th.
