Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I don't see a front splitter on your car. I fail to see how the car will handle any better with 900+ lbs on the rear without downforce on the front also. As a matter of fact, Dodge even ADDED another set of dive planes on the ACRX.

Car looks sweet though.:2tu:

It will never see 900+ downforce on the rear. The split is about 40/60 front/rear. So at most 600lbs at 150mph. The extra set of dive planes on the ACRX adds about 50lbs of downforce to the front end.

The regular ACR was generating over 1150 lbs at the ring. The ACRX wing generates more downforce then the regular wing. I betcha it's alot closer to 900 lbs at the rear then you think.

That would be my next viper combo, dude, you're killing me.

Absolutely awesome, thanks for showing me what my next dream viper would look like, congrats.

Scrolling again for another look ..... man that's awesome - it's a combination of classy, sporty, and bad *** all at the same time, great job.

Car looks great! Can I ask where you got the new Dodge decal. My dealership doesn't have any.
Thanks

I found them on a website that makes the decal configurations for the ACR-X Cup races. I don't remember the site anymore, Im sorry!:(

Well I need to report on the performance of the X-Wing. Spent nearly 6-7hours open lapping at Mid-Ohio last thursday (even overheated my diff). The wing is truly as ********* as it looks. The back of the car wasn't just planted it was glued! My back tire temps were up almost 3psi over normal:omg:. Lowered them down and man late braking took on a whole new world. Finally all 28inches of rubber accross tha back is working for me instead of trying to skip around for traction. That wing has so much downforce back there I found myself having to tighten up harness leg restraints because of the braking force the car has now and when im into ABS. Crazy stuff! Anyway the wing is the real deal and even though my car is a Semi Vert/Coupe the wing works *********! Again I tilt my hat to Steve for making such an incredible setup!:2tu::2tu:

We did it in matt and it looked awful:confused:. Then did it to match the stripe and that looked perfect. Semigloss wouldnt have made any difference in the paint shops opinion.;)
