    New Unsold 09s

    Yes, I'm surprised, especially with the used 09 ACR going for $110k at Barrett-Jackson, that there are still ones around, and they're priced very, very attractively right now. In particular I'm looking at the Viper Very Orange ACR at Baxter. They've made an offer on my Challenger for trade...

    New Unsold 09s

    I sold my '10 ACR Vert and am working my way around to getting a replacement after realizing how much I'm missing it. I've been in touch with a few folks and a dealer or two about new unsold '09s that are still sitting around. Anything I should know before (if/when) I pull the trigger...

    Viper Myth Thread. What have you heard?

    I'm no engineer, but as far as I can tell, at those speeds, the drag difference isn't significant. Over 100 mph, sure.

    Viper Myth Thread. What have you heard?

    Absolutely. 2010 ACR. 6th gear, 60-65 mph, it'll do mid 20s all day.

    Viper Myth Thread. What have you heard?

    Yup. On the track, I got about 3-4 MPG. On the highway, 25-26. Fair trade, IMO.

    Seven Gen Vs At Once!

    RE: Vipers in the snow, I seem to remember before the GenV was unveiled that they were testing its systems in GenIVs... in heavy snow and ice conditions!

    Seven Gen Vs At Once!

    I think you nailed it. The JGC SRT-8 was a 2014. I would imagine they're working on upgrades and changes for the '14 model year at this point.

    Seven Gen Vs At Once!

    Was out with the family (wife and 3 kids) doing errands, getting dinner, and on the way back home I said, "Oh, hey, those Vipers are probably in town by now. Let's stop and see if they're here yet.." and they were. Had I been thinking before we'd left, I'd have brought out the nice camera and...

    Seven Gen Vs At Once!

    Yeah, yeah. It's just like being a Viper driver. It's not the fault of the hardware... it's the human behind it who fails. They were on snow tires, so I'd imagine they just pulled whatever was available out of the storage shed for this run. Didn't want to ding up the nice wheels, when all...

    Seven Gen Vs At Once!

    Word around the campfire was that there were going to be 7 GenVs out here in Central Kentucky on a verification run. Got to catch up with them, say hi to some of the engineers and Dick Winkles, and got some snapshots with the cell phone before leaving them to finish up their data downloads...

    Viper Myth Thread. What have you heard?

    Someone (maybe on here) once said there was a motor oil commercial that incorrectly attributed the Viper as having a V-12, and that's where the myth started? My ACR had a lot of comments like, "Where'd you get that body kit? What'd it look like stock?" (it came like this from the factory...)...

    Top Gear 2012 XMas special, not until Feb...

    Not to mention that Clarkson actually owned a Ford GT and a Corvette ZR1. He likes to play up the anti-American sentiment for laughs, but secretly he's as red-blooded as Hamster is.

    Gallardo.....Scuderia.......Gen V Viper

    Absolutely would still take the Viper. I've no interest in maintaining a prissy Italian car. I want a fast American car that I can work on myself.

    Delivery, drive or ship?

    Can't beat road trips for memories. That said, I'd probably have it delivered, just because making a several-day hole in my schedule is difficult.

    ACR Track car value?

    This is probably accurate.

    Count me in on a group buy. Edit: just saw the group is 10 or more to a single address. Oops.

    Where did you buy your Viper?

    Put me down as another one for Bill Pemberton at Woodhouse. Made it wayyyyyy too easy. I was all too happily parted from my cash in the blink of an eye. Gave him the CC number for the deposit on I think a Thursday and that Saturday afternoon I had the car unloading in my driveway. Everything...

    2014 ACR on the Top Gear Test Track

    Great video, but I agree, a little wider rear fender flare would look amazing.

    GEN-V considered a mid-engine?

    I've heard Vipers described as mid-engined several times. It just depends on your definition of the term I guess.

    Well here she is !!!!

    Very nice, congrats! My two cents: leave it as-is, at least for a few months and then see how you feel about striping it.
