2016 Dodge Viper ACR

What do you guys think?
How is it compared to C7 Z06, GT3RS, or the GTR Nismo?

I think this will be too hardcore for street use compared to the 3. But beautiful looking car.

The older 2000ish GTS is the best looking Viper.


Maybe it is just me, but the Viper looks like a total attention whore. I know it isn't supposed to be subtle, but it is too over-the-top.

Looks good, but it has lost its sense of touch. Past Vipers were true driver's cars that required you to actually drive the car with little to no electronic safety. If you pushed it to its limits, you had instant respect from the driving community because at any moment you could lock the tires or spinout.

Viper is dead

GT3RS > Z06 > ACR > NISMO

Berzerker 07-17-2015 01:47 PM

The Viper is an Iconic car that I will always want one of. This one is no exception.

Berz out.

ACR should kill the Z06 if it sticks to tradition

teggy604 07-17-2015 03:09 PM

Wont be a car for a lot of us. This car has a steep learning curve, and you would need some serious seat time to even scratch the surface of its potential. Assuming you don't die from trying.

TheStig 07-17-2015 03:19 PM

Looks awesome!

Timpo 07-17-2015 03:43 PM

I don't know about this one but last gen Viper ACR achieved 1.5g skidpad, which is surprisingly good for a street car.

Looks hardcore, as it should. Bet it's a monster to drive

wstce92 07-18-2015 01:28 AM

Imo, this is a car you buy to tell people, "I like to drive and this is the craziest, fastest thing someone who likes to drive can buy"
Gtr and new gt3rs are for people who like to GO fast. I like to DRIVE fast.

Timpo 07-18-2015 08:15 AM

I know a guy who got VI for GT wing.

If cop doesn't know the law, you might get VI for driving that car.

earn3d 07-18-2015 07:38 PM

looks pretty badass

The Viper set all those records with 20TW tires. It doesn't fucking count when you're changing tires every other lap.

mpr 06-25-2016 11:56 AM

its actually 200 tread wear. many owners use them as street tires and do get quite a bit of life in them. I'm not going to deny it is a r compound tire but in my experience the compound is harder than say a hoosier r6/r7 40TW.

A true performance car. I've heard they have terrible quality control. I've read reviews that said they had bits falling off or the car failed entirely. Terrible for any new car. I'm not sure if the current gen is any better.

Mr.Money 06-25-2016 09:25 PM

still a car with no traction control or any sort of computer to save your ass if you Screw up.

I recall a person killed them self in one on a empty highway in Vancouver when it flipped ,landed on its roof crushing the person inside... found him the next morning off an embankment..
