It's hard to imagine the McLaren couldn't beat the ACR's time given their additional testing, better power to weight, and fancy aero stuff. Not that we should care that the newest supercar in the world can beat a 8 year old platform that's out of production and costs 1/3 as much.

what 's up with this ?

My guess is that because there was no official press release and video from Dodge, they took it off. You'll notice, they didn't pay attention to the ACR-X number I had put down below...haha. I'm not going to stress about it. When the video and stuff comes out, we'll put it back up.

Bernie, what are the plans for the actual two 'Ring cars themselves?
Are they back yet?

Or is this info under lockdown as well? :rolleyes:

Starting to get fricken stupid isn't it. I'm pretty well over it.

Very true. At this point it better be HUGE news, like the ACR-X they ran was actually a stock Gen V underpinnings or something, because with all the anticipation that they've built up, anything less is gonna be "meh" news.

I received a press release from SRT today touting the exploits of Ralph and his crew at the Targa Rally. They did really well and raised lots of Money for the charities. CONGRATS.

BUT in that same release in the following paragraph they mention breaking the Ring Record by going 7.12.

Is this the big press release we have been hearing about? If so what a disappointment.

I cut and pasted the info as I received it.

Targa Newfoundland recap, Viper ACR Nürburgring record lap and preview of the last two races of the 2011 Dodge Viper Cup.​
[h=1]driveSRT dialed in: SRT dominates 2011 Targa Newfoundland.[/h]

The 2011 Targa Newfoundland Rally is now history. After five full days of endurance racing across hundreds of miles of challenging island roads, Team SRT prevailed. The trio of SRTs drove to a pair of class wins, won the Sirius Satellite Radio President's Manufacturers' Challenge and secured the Autism Challenge Cup by helping to raise more money for the cause than any other team.
Aside from its wins, the event served as a testbed for factory-installed components to be used in the next Viper. Both Pirelli P-Zero tires and Pennzoil Ultra synthetic oil performed flawlessly throughout the endurance race.
Meanwhile, an entire continent away, the Viper ACR recaptured the title as fastest production car to lap the world-famous Nürburgring. A recorded lap time of 7:12 bested its nearest competitor by two seconds, and eclipsed SRT's previous record by a full ten ticks. The record was set as European SRT fans welcomed the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The highest-performing Jeep to date will go on sale in select European markets early next year. Its unmistakable appearance and all-around capability will make an impact.
With that announcement, maybe Herb can tell us what he knows.

I'm not sure what everyone is expecting besides a video. I mean the VCA prez. made the announcement. It's been on the SRT FB page and numerous other websites. What more can they do besides post the video???

Dear Bernie,

I wish those two record setting ACR's were coming back to Tomball and with "for sale" signs on them....but there's always the 4 special editions you have in stock correct?

Regards,
Aaron
