Hi everyone, my first post here, great site! I'm a long-time Mopar fan with a couple of old ones, but starting to get serious about purchasing a Viper.
I'm pretty set on a GenIV, and currently trying to decide between a used 08 coupe or a new 09 ACR. I'll have to scrape up and save a while longer to get the ACR (Tomball or Baxter have a few great choices), but could probably make the 08 happen fairly quickly.
As for use, it would just be a cruiser/toy, zero or very little track time. I know the overall performance benefits of the ACR and the look is amazing, but I'm curious from real-world experience about any comfort trade-offs, where as just a cruiser the 08 would be the better decision. How does the ride and handling compare between the two as a street car, not as a race car? As far as I know, that's really where the difference would be... correct?
Thanks again for access to this great site, and thanks in advance for any opinions.
