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.

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.

That doesn't mean it's going to fly off the road into a ditch in the rain.
