2013 Dodge Viper is back

Pharmacist

well, it's a quite a big stretch to call it a "production car". the viper ACR is more like a barely street-legal race car. The more mass-produced srt 10 is plenty fast, but not nearly the fastest around the ring.

Ding!
It is like the Vette using very specific tires in the Z06/ZR1 now which were designed for tracking purposes. Still a production car and does really help make the car much better.

if you really wanna put it that way, then the fastest "production car" is the radical sr8 LM at 6 minutes and 48 seconds.

Okay, your turn now.

Radical SR8LM for sale

What's your point? I never denied you can go buy an ACR. The point is that anyone can go get a race car and put on it the few basic necessities to appease the government and be able to put license plates on it. That doesn't make it a "road car". A road car has to be able to clear a speed bump. A road car has to be able to travel through a few potholes. And a road car has to be able to be driven on a rainy day without totally flying off the road and crashing into a ditch. The Viper ACR doesn't fit these criteria. Neither does the Radical either, or even the Gumpert. they are more like street-legal track cars, not road cars. So to compare them to proper road cars like a 911 turbo, gtr, or corvette zr1 is a bit ridiculous.

Why can't you drive an ACR in the rain without crashing into a ditch?

Though I do agree that it isn't much of a "road" car in the traditional sense.

Because it has barely street legal race tires with very minimal tread.

I can buy, right now (if I wanted to be stupid), a car IDENTICAL to the one that ran a 7:12.XX around the 'ring. it will include a 3/36 warranty, and come right off a dealer lot. ACR 7:12 edition.

I can also LEGALLY drive it home.

To me, THAT qualifies it for "production".
