    New Video with Ralph saying they tested the TA edition with sport cups

    I see. But the upcoming ACR is getting much more aero, brakes, suspension, less weight etc so why not more power? Wont those improvements tame the extra 100hp especially on a track like the Nurburgring? It would be something if they introduced a DCT box with the ACR model. Goodness. On...

    New Video with Ralph saying they tested the TA edition with sport cups

    Something to consider about the upcoming ACR vs the upcoming hyper cars like the P1 and F150. According to Mclaren the P1 will produce the most downforce of any street legal car at 1320lbs of downforce. The old ACR was at 1200lbs downforce. However, the upcoming ACR is said by Ralph to...

    New Video with Ralph saying they tested the TA edition with sport cups

    Loved that interview. Pretty obvious Ralph is a car guy through and through.:2tu: As I suspected they softened up the GTS suspension quite a bit from the pre-production hence it was able to beat a Merc SLS in not only performance but in GT'ness too in a recent test. I can see a TA on equal...

    Road and Track Viper GTS VS Mercedes SLS AMG

    :rolaugh: l...But honestly I wasnt worried about the results on this one as they did test the SLS against the 2010 ACR a few years ago and of course the ACR mopped the floor with the SLS. So performance wise it was obvious the new Viper would beat the SLS. I am however surprised they chose the...

    Viper TA @ NY Auto show

    I agree with BD. The porportions on the car actually look great from this angle.

    Unique Acr hood?

    I remember Ralphs words years ago about "wild and radical" or something to that effect for the next ACR and that would definitely fit with a GTSR for the street. Id wish for a widened body for the ACR a la GTSR. Take a look at the below quote. Its quite in keeping with Ralphs words several...

    Does the ACR need to break the 7:00 mark at the Ring?

    All this is why I think we will have a sub 7 min Gen V ACR.

    Does the ACR need to break the 7:00 mark at the Ring?

    I agree with you on what you said. But Im basing my premise on what Ralph has said. He said those things knowing what you stated. Now like anything else it could just be talk and hype from Ralph about the next Viper ACR being wild and radical and all that jazz. But the Viper program was dead...

    Does the ACR need to break the 7:00 mark at the Ring?

    In my opinion I think SRT will try to be the top dogs on the Ring regardless of whats about to hit from the Competition. When the Gen IV ACR came out Ralph and SRT issued a challenge to any "production car" mfg to beat the ACR car if my memory serves. I dont think at the time anyone stepped...

    Botomline is the two cars are essentially equal in performance at Laguna...............................As long as the Viper is wearing Corsa's that is:smirk:

    SRT retakes Laguna Seca record with 2014 SRT Viper TA!!!

    Congrats SRT.....This is what the Viper should have done from jump even with those tires. Not a beat down but certainly bodes well for things to come. So much more improvement to be had its scary. And Im not even talking about the upcoming ACR.

    Track testing for Motor Trend again. Kinda secret. All the new Vipers. Rock on.

    Yes that is true. We both agree that this is not what happened in the case of the Gen V though. I'm glad SRT took it in stride and improved the car. At this point its water under the bridge though and cant wait to see what they will do with the Viper in the near future. Things are definitely...

    Track testing for Motor Trend again. Kinda secret. All the new Vipers. Rock on.

    To me just common sense rebuts the theory that SRT and its team of race drivers and engineers were incapable of developing the Viper fully in 2 years so they gave it to MT with their superior staff of drivers etc to refine the Viper in front of the whole worlds eyes. Come on man. If that is...

    Track testing for Motor Trend again. Kinda secret. All the new Vipers. Rock on.

    I'd say the CCB's, MR shocks, gear change added a whole lot for the tires to exploit too. You can have all those things but if you have garbage rubber vs your competition, its meaning less. So I see where you are coming from. You are not discounting the other improvements just stating that the...

    Track testing for Motor Trend again. Kinda secret. All the new Vipers. Rock on.

    Ralph himself said they had a ZR1 similarly equiped for "2 years" during the Vipers development before giving it to the mags. Everything you said they already did for a few years. They had already developed the Viper before giving it to the mags. It just wasn't a very polished and proper job...

    Track testing for Motor Trend again. Kinda secret. All the new Vipers. Rock on.

    Yes I read that it stood for Zora as well so Im confused as to how it became a zero instead of a the letter O. Oh well... EDIT: From Corvette forum. Looks like we both read wrong info on the name. "That's an RPO Zora and his team came up with as a special performance package in '63. RPO =...

    Track testing for Motor Trend again. Kinda secret. All the new Vipers. Rock on.

    I hear you. Until SRT proves how serious they are with the next ACR we can only speculate. However I remember about 2 or so years ago Ralph himself said the upcoming ACR would be wild and radical compared to the then current ACR which still is a serious machine. So with that statement in mind...

    Track testing for Motor Trend again. Kinda secret. All the new Vipers. Rock on.

    Remember a while back that Ralph had tweeted that the cars were coming in much lighter than expected. This was in response to someone asking him why the cars had such a high ride height. So Im not surprised they are much lighter than originally stated. :2tu: This bodes well for a 3200lb or...

    Track testing for Motor Trend again. Kinda secret. All the new Vipers. Rock on.

    I agree that it would have been a lot more conclusive if they retested the ZR1 at the same time etc. But you have to admit that on rain tires, to come within .5-1 sec of a MPSC equipped ZR1 is saying a whole lot of something. While I wished it regained the title there is no way it was going...
