Wow where to start? Kind of a rare car in Great Falls Montana. Even though I had to register under Washington. I believe only current member in Mt. Anyone on this forum visiting Glacier or Yellowstone you have a place to stay!

A little history first. Retired air force, family man, not rich by any stretch and a proud owner of a 09 snake skin ACR! Hole family loves this car especially my 12 year old daughter, best friend and fellow gear head. This is an awesome place to own a car like the ACR. Most don't know what it is. But it causes an emotional reaction to young and old.

Previous 99 GTS Hennessey 700 R owner. Good looking but I didn't care for that car, cramped, oil leaks and rough idle. Im 6'4 and 250 pounds and that car was tight. Many previous cars have been pro touring 60's and 70's style cars. Just came out of a 1000 hp 13 GT 500.

Fell in love with the Gen four ACR after doing a little research. Found this car on ebay had been previously damaged on a track day (tire barrier). Car only had 4k miles. Had the car inspected before purchase. Never could have afforded this car otherwise. Upon delivery the car was pretty much as described. All new dodge parts used for repair. No frame damage. Have had expected issues, passenger window regulator and cant get TPMS light to clear.

I've already put 3k miles on it in a month. I will say it makes previous cars seem boring. Love it! Here are some pictures and I have added the factory splitter back to the front! Expensive!!

Thanks for everyone's great posts! Great site, lots of info. Found the upgraded regulator thanks to members here.

Glad you are here and liking the car. Very similar for us both as Im currently running an 09 ACR but also had a 99 GTS that Hennessey did along with other tuners. I had zero problems with the 99 and it was an awesome GTS R replica with almost 700 HP. You will really like the club and some great information to be found.

I'd recommend a front splitter if your are going to do any high speeds, without it your aero isn't balanced with just the big wing and front canards.
Like the car! Watched it on eBay for a long while.

thanks for the kind words and as I said in my post I already replaced the splitter and the price was painful.

Great looking ACR. Snakeskin Green forces people to look, they cannot resist.

What pro-touring cars have you had? I'm one of the original moderators over on Pro-Touring.com, same user name here.

Tony, last build a 70 Chevelle 540 merlin, 65 Impala 502 with 871 BDS, 67 RS SS with small block 427 and procharger. Will go back again someday but right now I love being able to jump in my viper and explore MT. I don't see how this car only had 4k miles. But glad it did. How about you?
