Those gold wheels are my Forgelines and I keep PS2s on them. They are 20 rear, 19 front so those are the only acceptable tires that fit. Yes I used them while Wheel Solutions painted the OEMs that I use for the track. I'll put them back on after Dec 20th when most of the track sessions are...
Mark, since I don't drag but track instead, will the 5 into 1 with a different gear ratio give me more overall power thruout the rpm range or am I better off with what I already have? My only real complaint is throttle response/launch speed issues out of the corners.
I don't know if anyone else thinks the throttle response has always been terrible, but I do. This is my 3rd Viper and they have all had that problem compared to other cars. I really hate having less hp cars pull away from out of the corners while I'm sitting with my foot to the floor waiting...
I live in the country in Texas where all roads are bumpy at best and I don't find the ACR darty or hard to drive at all. My ACR is lowered and set up for the track and I leave it that way. I did get better times on our tracks around here with the suspension set at 6 compression, 7 rebound in...
Wallbanger, why don't you come to the race track with that beautiful bad boy? Strategically placed blue on those rims would really be cool too. Alloy wheel specialists in Carrollton,do a great job.
You are absolutely right! I keep forgetting I put a lot of extras on my new ACR before I ever picked it up and drove it. The only other '08 I've driven was a friends vert but he had the Venom 650R pkg already, that car was fantastic too. I was really comparing a new, mods included, '08 ACR to...
Grant, Lee is right on about the ACR being the better car period, IMHO. My '08 ACR is my third Viper and it is so much superior to the other cars, they shouldn't even be mentioned on the same day. I leave my ACR set up for the track all the time and I drive it on the street all day every day...
Yes it's the HPDEins link. Recently, we also had one of the PCA guys put a link up for track ins but I didn't save it. You might check with them too. Viper Days would be more of a problem than a regular HPDE because they put a transponder directly in your car and post time sheets after every...
I've had the run flats, PS2s, and Sport Cups all on the street and the track. I know you will like the Cups better if you plan to do both. They give you the best of both worlds and last 9,000 miles if you don't track much. If you're just driving on the street all the time go with the
PS2s...
My agent is a track rat also and he swears that State Farm will cover you. Other agents have said no they won't. I have a link for racing insurance that NASA emailed me. The cost is about $1200 for 8-9 events with a $4000 Deductible. I think I'm going to buy that coverage in addition to my...
Thanks for the white pics, it's soooo hard to decide what color looks best since an ACR looks great in anything! If I could buy another one, I think it would be graphite though.
I will second the motion on the PFC 01s. I use those on the front and Brakeman 3s on the rear. You will find a tremendous front brake bias on that ACR on the track. I hate the price of the PFCs but they work great and off track excursions can be very costly.
I put the Belanger headers and exhaust on my '08 ACR and he sounds fantastic just tooling around town but he absolutely BELLOWS like an angry bull on the race track, very cool! I highly recommend the system. My check engine light came on some at first and I would go get my tech to clear it...
Mark will these new ECUs give an additional boost above the Belanger's and if so how much can we expect and about how much will it cost? I see you already answered this question, so we can expect about an additional 20 hp increase above and beyond the Belanger system, right? I want one as soon...
I don't know what the law says about the front plate in your state, but in Texas it says "must be displayed". I put my plate inside on the dash up next to the windshield and no more tickets!
I have a black w/red stripes ACR and so does Lee, then there's one more like that. There are at least two of the blue ones w/stripes. Yours rocks though, I love that orange, CONGRATULATIONS!
I'm on my 3rd set of Sport Cups in the front and 2nd set in the rear. I'm getting 4500 miles out of the fronts and 9000 miles out of the rears. I've driven about 50/50 on the race track. When the cups are gone completely, you know it. As they get more heat cycles on them it takes longer to...
