i would like to take this for a ride….or it would take me for a ride???!!!???

“Prices for the ACR Viper are said to start at under $100,000″
Holy crap! This probably means MSRP base model will be $99,999.

Oh, Yeah!

Thats a sick beast. Especially for the dollar.

Pretty cool.

that removable front splitter would make a big difference it are daily driving this thing.
although 40 lbs isnt that much, the biggest difference where the weight would be noticed is in the wheels. it should sound sick with it’s exhaust.

so bad ass….. except for the damn wing

That thing looks sweet!! I’d take one for sure

100K for a race prepped Viper? Nice. I wonder how much the race prepped Z06’s go for.

Awesome. An american car done right: big loud, brash and not a hint of class, but at a track it will repeatedly kick you in the balls until you bleed.

Perfect car for the little pee-pee crowd…

Do you get a free gold chain and Viper medallion with it? I think a bushy mustache is required as well…

EGGcellent. The Viper rules, losers!

Needs more street cred. I want to see this car racing in the big top events, like Lemans.

Still Awesome car. But they could find 300 lbs to drop in that car I’m sure.

For the life of me, I think that’s a “Motor Trend” cover.

Brutal. Scary. Just right.

ZR-1 bait. Even considering the price. Munch. Munch.

Something about the Viper speaks to the wide-eyed 7 yr old in me in a way that no corvette will ever be able to. Would I ever buy one? no. But you gotta respect 600hp and no traction control. This is the kind of car you pull up next a porsche with and rev the engine. Odds are 10-1 the porsche driver avoids making eye contact.

Man those things are sexy. I’d take that over any vette any day.

delicious

sweet car. just like someone above said: this car is calling for the 7yo in all of us, who doesnt bother about consumption, usability, decency and so on.

still, apart from some of those beasts being cruised around closeby california beaches, most of them will just live their lives on the track (where they are the most fun… you can still meet the porsche there… then again, it might be a gt2… would be interesting seeing those two battle!

Cyclone is very right.

The Corvette engineers need to take some lessons from the Viper design team on how to sex-up a car.

Corvette needs to get away from the committe design look.

The Corvette has lost it’s lustful look. A big fat rear ends only remind me of big fat bottoms, but then some men really go for that…

1.5g !!! Can’t wait ’til the magazines test and confirm that.

Sweet. Although I’d hate to have to baby that car over every dip and speed bump I encounter.

Of course old man golf doesnt get the Viper, its to fast, fun and loud. Shhhh hes putting.

Will there be a diesel or hybrid variant too?

j/k if it isn’t obvious.

This is one smokin sex machine of a car. Yum.

40 POUNDS???? WOW OH MY GOODNESS ! QUICK SOMEONE CALL GUINNESS BOOK OF RECORDS POP OPEN THE CHAMPAGNE AND LETS CELEBRATE (!)
I’LL TAKE AN F430 CS PLEASE

golf4me: are you gonna measure?
Gold Chain?
You’re confusing this with the IROC
HotMustard: great characterization.

I think this is great… and although the spoiler is gaudy, this a very high powered RWD car… I am sure that the spoiler actually serves a good purpose.

The Viper ACR will also have an available “Hard Core” package that shaves an addition 40 pounds from the ACR’s curb weight by deleting the audio system, underhood sound deadening material and trunk carpeting. Door panels are also replaced with carbon fiber and a lap timer can added where the audio system usually resides.
.
try reading the second paragraph there is an additional 40pounds guys 40 + 40 does not equal 40 guys, jeez

i need a change of pants

in terms of style viper >>>>>corvette.

if i had to buy a race prepped car then this would be it. otherwise i like to do it myself.

Hot Mustard, you pull up to me in my Porsche you will get a huge thumbs up but no race;)

This is a seriosly fast car and one that can be made even faster with some mods to make it a dedicated track car.

However, this is not a car for the poseur who is worried about comfort. They will never drive this car. As well they shouldn’t because the first time they put the pedal on the right all the way down for more than a few seconds the car will be wrapped around the nearest tree/telephone pole.

This is definitely the sickest looking Viper ever. And if this goes for under 100k then I say Dodge has done this very well indeed. Although It wouldn’t have hurt if Dodge gave it a slight hp increase even though 600hp is probably enough. I love both the Viper and the Corvette, but look out Viper once the Corvette ZR-1 debuts.

The Hyundai Genesis Coupe is sooooo gonna pwn this.

I prefer the ZR-1, but this is pretty hot.

As we all know however, thanks to 1115’s guidance, the Honda Accord dusts both these American crapboxes.

wow, 40lbs off!!!! that’s a hardcoreness!!!

Sounds fast but I honestly think the car looks so ugly. The previous generation ACR Viper was a much better looking car that looked clean and sophisticated. The new ACR looks tacky and a bit ridiculus. I would like to go for a ride in one on a track but its just too ugly for my taste.

It still looks like a kid’s drawing. Not sure yet if that’s good or bad.

I’d take this over a Z06 any day, it just looks so much better.

the Scuderia will eat this thing alive

928dreamer: “This is not a car for the poseur who is worried about comfort.”

well said.
R-Head: “The Hyundai Genesis Coupe is sooooo gonna pwn this.” No, that would be the Civic Si

LP640: “the Scuderia will eat this thing alive.”

See above

Can’t the Viper design team visit GM’s Corvette design team for just 1 day.

Just 1 day is all I ask for.

Make me drool over a Corvette again, make it eye candy.

e46ne90… I hope you were being sarcastic… to remove 40 pounds from the wheels is like removing 120 pounds off of the body. That is going to be a huge improvement on such a high powered vehicle.

READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE, 40 from the wheels 40 from the interior, every 80 pounds counts.

a scud cost five viper and a sundae genisis won’t come close this is a track machine. lock up your daughters and shoot your sons cause this car is kick ass and cheap

This thing is bad ****in ass. I wish the wing were just a tiny bit shorter(not as wide). It kinda seems to hang over the sides of the car. The wing of a C6-R is a good example, IMO, of a functional wing that’s decent looking.

One thing I find unacceptable, however, is the addition of those little pieces on both the front corners below the fog lamps. It makes it look like something out of a Fast and The Furious movie.

Three world sports car championships undefeated on any track in Europe until Chevy whined to allow a highly modified Vette to win,the fact that the Archer brothers are dominating american sports racing while adding how much weight to the car.A Hennessey dual turbo Viper is good to what 235 mph and will get faster this summer.I think this is a Viper blog so go dream on your blog site.Hell Mopar Action Magazines Plymouth Valiant the brick smoked every Vette and a couple vipers in the one lap of america so take your confused ass home.Oh yeah a Viper wins the one lap also….

c6 good eye, nice attention to the details.

wow dodgezilla other than the regular haters we all like this car, are we confused for liking it? who were you even commenting to, it just seemed out of place when you read the comments.

Yeah Cts just adding some history for golf,blakkar and lp640 who does not know what unsprung weight is.so are you confused who the haters are.

441Zuke: hahaha…I like your style, man! You’re damn right!

C6 and CTS: those carbon fiber “things” are called ‘cannards’ and are functional for keeping the car on the pavement at high speeds. Maybe you should get your heads out of your asses and actually watch a race sometime
