    Monday we find out who is faster at Laguna Seca, ZR1 or Gen V

    I'm betting that the Corvette Forum isn't as hard on the new Viper as this thread.

    Creative approach to paying a compliment...

    If you've owned your Viper for a while, you have inevitably heard several comments and compliments about your car. I took my 09 ACR to Best Buy today and the guard stopped me on my way into the store. He got my attention by saying "Excuse me, Sir"! (Im not sure if I have a guilty conscience...

    Beautiful beyond words.........

    For those of us who couldn't attend, thanks for posting these awesome pics! The more I look at this car, the more I want one. I think Ralph and team did a great job with the continuation of our beloved snake.

    ACR tires

    I drive my ACR all year long. But... in the winter I'm gentle on the throttle and humbled at the thought that a Prius might beat me on straight line acceleration, due the lack of grip from the Sport Cups.

    MOPAR ECU did not dyno well, lost 12wtq/gain 5whp - Graph inside

    I had my Mopar ECU and Belanger headers/exhaust installed on my 09 ACR prior to picking it up. I have heard a lot about the deceleration pop, so I installed my factory ECM today and took it for a drive. I have to say that I don't notice much difference while driving around town, except for...

    C6z06 Or 06 Srt10 Coupe????

    Every night before I go to bed I tuck my kids in bed, brush my teeth, say my prayers, and peek in the garage to see my Viper. After 14 years of owning Vipers I still can't believe how cool it looks, and that it's in my garage. No disrespect to Vettes (because I really want a ZR1), but I just...

    Top Gear USA

    I love the original (UK) version of Top Gear. But, it was really nice to see the Viper finally get some respect and not described as American Crap with a cheap interior. I've been around the track a couple of times, and I think the Stig did pretty good in the ACR, and the Lambo for that...

    Top Gear USA

    Loved the show, because it's the first one to run the ACR as hard as they could run it. I found myself being disappointed at first, because they weren't driving an ACR. Then, they put it on the track, and beat up on the Lambos!!! It's about time that a show about fast cars shows everyone that...

    Need help choosing!

    Feel free to use it. I saw some of the posts where someone seemed frustrated because his pic was used. I don't see what the big deal is? Good luck selling your car! :2tu: Oh yeah, as payment for using the pic, I will need a ride in your new Murci if I ever make it to your neck of the...

    Need help choosing!

    I love both colors, but I'm partial to the graphite. The graphite color really compliments the carbon fiber on the car! Bottom line, if it says ACR on the side, you can't go wrong.

    Zaino or Turbo Wax

    I have used Zaino for years, but gave Turbo Wax a try last summer when I ran out of Zaino. My loyalty has now switched to Turbo Wax! Both products offer a good shine, but I think that the Turbo Wax is better. Most importantly, I can get the results in about 1/3 the time! Turbo Wax comes off...

    Wingy Thingy

    The ACR wing is perfect!!! I can't find an angle that doesn't look great. Then...you take the car to the track and realize that you can go around corners at speeds you have never experienced before. Man, I love this car!!!

    First Drive 09 Ssg Acr

    My ACR is pretty twitchy, and searches out the smallest grooves in the road. I have added camber for track events, and it compounds the "twitchy feel". But it is worth it on those warm track days! As for the tires, I stepped down on the pedal a few days back to see what kind of traction the...

    Little video of me on Autobahn

    Hey Cop Magnet, I didnt get a chance to talk with you yesterday, but I had the third graphite ACR that was running in the green group (not in this video). Yesterday was my first day at this track, and the ACR was a blast to drive. Not to mention, the track is fabulous!!! I believe that...

    I made it back!! New 2008 ACR

    Forgot to answer your other questions... I recommend 6-Point TeamTech belts. I got mine from Jon B at PartsRack.com. He is great to work with. I also ordered one of my shoulder straps in red and one in black on the drivers side to continue the red drivers stripe - looks very cool!!! The...

    I made it back!! New 2008 ACR

    The Autobahn Country Club is a raceway in Joliet, IL. The track is approximately 3 1/2 miles, and it is a great facility. September 14 will be my first time driving on this track. I rode with a good friend of mine (Tom) in his purple/white stripe ACR a couple of months ago, and he scared the...

    I made it back!! New 2008 ACR

    Congrats on your new toy, and welcome back! The first thing you can expect when you put your ACR on the track is to pass a lot of Porsches! The car is impressive in all the right places, but the braking is nothing short of amazing! I have been to Gateway many times, and I have seen many...

    Viper ACR at Honda Track Event

    Unlike my previous Vipers, I don't plan on making any cosmetic changes to this one (other than the temporary decals). I think Dodge pretty much achieved perfection, so I'm simply going to enjoy it. I do kinda wish that they would have continued the drivers stripe down the back end, but that is...

    Any Ssg Acr's Yet - Pics

    Congrats!!! And, we can't wait to see the pictures. There is no comparison between Anaconda Green and SSG. Don't get me wrong, Anaconda will look lovely on the ACR, but SSG will look bad a$$. In the words of Forest Gump, "Thats all I have to say about that!"

    Viper ACR at Honda Track Event

    Here are some pics that my buddy gave me from the event. Have you ever just had that crazy feeling like someone is following you??? :D

    Viper ACR at Honda Track Event

    It was funny to watch the transition that took place during this Honda event. Most everyone was looking at me like I was a two headed alien that didn't belong there, and there were several comments (as mentioned above). While working with my student, who had never been on a race track, he...
