These new Vipers are really something else, we recently set up an ACR for track use and installed our stage 2 performance package, I received this cool response!
Hi Dan,
I think you would have been very impressed with the ACR last week. I had a private track day with some friends at Thunderhill and the ACR was spectacular. At lunch time we closed down the main straight and did rolling start drag races. From a 40mph second gear start, the ACR not only beat the ZR1 Corvette, but also beat the fastest road car Ferrari has ever built (599 GTO) by 2-3 car lengths and was pulling away hard at the end. The GTO did pull an initial lead, but could not stay ahead long. This despite paddle shift benefit on GTO and wing drag penalty on ACR. Third gear pulls are absolutely amazing in the ACR.
The ZR1 did one dead heat with the GTO and on another run lost to GTO by one car length.
This was the finishing order:
ACR
GTO
ZR1
R8(10 cyl) - RTronic shifter
997.2 GT3RS
Enjoy the attached video.
