Awesome video! I hope they actually do make a NEW Viper when all the dust settles. Frankly, I miss seeing them at LeMans. The way they DOMINATED that class was really cool! It would be great i they did and Corvette was still running. :D
I wonder if a bit of Ferrari tech might make it's way over here for the next version(if there is one.) Actually having just said that, I think the only place any Ferrari tech could actually help is MAYBE in handling. Maybe. Power trains are too different.
Ferrari would probably make a bigger difference in the acceleration. If the Viper has a weak spot, it's the transmission. Ferrari has some fast shifting gears, as well as gear much more appropriate for s sports car. They could also make an impact on the aero. Add a diffuser to the base Viper and it could have half the ACR's downforce for little drag.
I was just thinking, I wonder how cooperative Ferrari would be with Dodge for all this. After all Dodge did beat Ferrari's back in the Dodge's Lemans days.
Back in the day, I remember reading some of the stories around fights during the development of the Chrysler TC.
@MLGCODSTER24 I asked to test drive a repo'd think it was a 96 viper that a guy tore out is system out of and the inside was in bad shape becuse of it and sayed show some $ then test drive lol.. you cant just go and test drives nice cars for the heck of it they know what you want to do with it.
Ok, the whole Vette, Viper fight is dumb, I prefer the Viper myself, but each car is a beast in it's own way, the ZR1 is nice, but more so a luxury performance car, (fast, a stereo you can actually hear, more internal room, ect.) the Viper sacrifices the small bits of luxury for more intense racing kicks (lowered suspension, aerodynamic wing, weight reduction options, ect.) while it is faster, just stupid people math, V10 >V8, w/e you like better, your call, but each has its own pluses.
ZR1 is newer which traction control, fantastic ceramic brakes, its much easier and safer to drive. ACR its faster or a track, its made for that but on an ordinary street cannot compared to ZR1
So, because it's easier and safer to drive makes it better? And as far as being driven on an ordinary road, first off, why would you race a car on an ordinary road and endanger everyone's life? Second, how does the ZR-1 magiacally become faster if it's still a road?
since its easier, safer ,better equiped and newer model, yes its better.And its more comfortable to drive on daily basis like the Porsche 997TT.Does viper has any other advantage besides being faster or Ring?
@furbygr If the Vette was faster you wouls say it was better, look maybe the ride in the vetter is better but who cares? If I were to spend 100k I only care about two things, its fast as hell and looks great, when you drive up in a Vetter its like owning a Ferrari, Vettes are too common, now look, Vettes are great cars and very cool, but I cant see spending that much money on one, but hey I cant afford the Viper either!
Love the vehicle,was about to ask what vehicle was ahead shooting the video....but why do these guys brake instead of slide/drift into the corners????
according to Automobile, ACR did the Nuremburg at 7:22 and the ZR1 at 7:26. 4 sec difference. This is significant on a track but as an everyday car it's not that significant...
the acr is a race car simple as that so of course it'll tear up the zr1 around a track. would like to see a competition z06 like the acr with a big wing a bigger front splitter and a race setup suspenion and with a couple hundred pounds less
Viper ACR 600hp, Corvette ZR1 638hp. ACR has 80 lb weight reduction from the GTS. ZR1 has a curb wt. of 3333 lbs. ACR 3400. But the ACR is still faster.
You really can't compare a ZR-1 to an ACR, they're two totally different cars. True, the ACR is "street legal" but in reality it's a purpose built track car. The Radical SR8 is "street legal" too...
As for the "The ZR-1 produces more horsepower with a smaller engine" comment...it's got a supercharger on it. The Viper is naturally aspirated...that's like comparing apples to oranges. Two different ways to do the same thing. Is one better? Depends on what you're looking for...
i think the ACR is a better track car. i don't even think you should compare the ZR-1 and ACR. The ACR is pretty much a pure race car, not much of a daily driver at all as i saw in some vids. the ZR-1 is a combo of both. it's got all the goodies, leather, navigation, etc. Not trying to shave every ounce like on the viper. So, for a car i'd take the ZR-1 any day. but i like the viper as well. just my opinion. America is kicking ass now!
Amazing car, and to all of you fanboys, this car would be faster than the ZR1 or GTR because it's pretty much a track day car. IE not a very good street car.
u ppl dont understand the viper is super strong when it gets to 60! the reason its 0-60 times arent amazing is because of all the torque.... put racing tires with slicks and a 03 viper would smoke a vette
Didn't i just say the zo6 would lose to an ACR on the track? A ZR-1 isn't going to though. And for you to say the zo6 is 'leagues behind' the ACR is just disrespectful. Last time i checked it doesnt even have a better 0-60. Why do people hate on vette's so much? i never understood. because they make people look bad..i guess
So you meant drag racing. In a straight line, it's closer, but the Viper is still faster. Better power/weight ratio and more traction. Since the Viper isn't a drag racer I didn't think you'd bring that up. On the track, yes, the Z06 is leagues behind. It's basically street car vs race car. BTW, I don't hate the Corvette, or any car. The Z06 is one of my favorites. I would have liked to have seen a sportier Z06 instead of the ZR-1. Probably would be faster.
One there is no -, in "ZR1" They dumped that to make it seem special from the then "radical" car of the 90's 0-60 is for people that cannot take a turn. Vettes are geared for the... I drag race next to taco bell at midnight people. Vipers, Are better balanced, better braking, no understeer, like said vette. Check any road course specs. Viper ruled class racing in 97, 98, 99, Got quitely banned. So vettes, rule nothing but, chevys only last grasp on high performance road machines.
Hmmmm. The ZR-1 beat the GT-R's lap time at the ring by 1/100th of a second. When the ACR was run against the GT-R on a tighter track that hurts the ACR it beat the GT-R by FIVE SECONDS. Sorry, the ZR-1 will have no chance against the ACR.
Check you times...the ZR1 beat the GT-R time around the Nürburgring by 3 seconds. The Zr1 produces 38 more HP and it only has a V-8 (SC) rather than the 8.3 litre V-10 that the ACR has. ZR1 is better than the ACR.
Commom sense favors the ACR Viper over the regular zo6, on the track since its suppose to be a track car. But common sense favors the ZR-1, where it has more power than the ACR. Not to mention the regular zo6 stays right with the ACR..imagine another 130hp and better traction? Common sense before testing says the ZR-1 will..and should own.
You've been misinformed. The Z06 is leagues behind the ACR. It is also slower than the base SRT-10 in straights and through corners. The ZR-1 is not lighter than the ACR, it produces less downforce to my knowledge, has less grippy tires, and lacks the ACR's racing suspension. It does have more power, and will probably win a drag race, but on a track with corners, the Viper has too many advantages. It will have higher corner speed, and put the power down better coming out of turns.
Doucher? I'm sorry to dissapoint you ristika89, but i have driven both cars. Not an ACR, but an 08 viper coupe. My dad has an 08 zo6, that runs a consistent 3.4 0-60 with borla exhaust. Not to mention excellent handling, and low 11's quarter mile. And no the viper was not more fun to drive, but the viper does look nicer. And anyone with common sense would know that an 09 zr1 is and will be overall better than an ACR without question. Thats if you know anything about cars though.
Common sense favors the Viper. It's a track car, so it should be expected to win. The ZR-1 is very GT like by comparison. I'm pretty sure GM isn't even worrying about the ACR because it's so different from the ZR-1. It's also hard to absolutely know, as you claim to, when one car isn't ever out yet.
Oh really? The new zr1 would get killed by the ACR viper if the track had turns? Did someone really just say that? Yeah it beats the zo6 because its a special viper. You must be confused. The zr1 is not the same as the new zo6. It has another 125 horsepower than the zo6, and will give it to the ACR on a track WITH turns. Nice try though.
yes, i know the difference between a zr1 and an acr,
okay the acr is a "special viper", but remember the Zr1 is a "special corvette" also, not just a zo6
both cars are great, but everyone's going to have an opinion and choose a side, you like the corvette, while i like the viper, so everyone will try to defend their favorite car
I dont exactly have anything against the Viper but the ZR-1 is better....easily. It has a 8.3 litre V-10 that only produces 600 Hp, the Zr-1 has a 6.3 litre V-8 supercharged and produces 638 HP and has already laped the Nürburgring in 7:26, which is faster than a Zonda F. ZR-1 greater than Viper ACR.
Geeez. Another guy who thinks the Viper produces 600HP because that is all it can produce. There are Vipers out there producing nearly 2,000HP. The street car has 600HP because that is all it needs to cover the competition, including the ZR-1.
Yes I realize that there are Vipers out there that produce more than 600 HP. Like the Hennessy Viper which produced 1,000 HP and set the record for fastest 0-60 time. But the ACR viper which is the Viper in question only produces 600 HP. ZR1 produces more HP with a smaller engine. Not only does the Zr1 produce more power but it also gets more torque, ZR1 595 lbs-ft, ACR 560 lbs-ft. ZR1 is better than the ACR.
If the amount of power compared to the engine size is so important (it is not important at all) then you must think the GT-R is a FAR better car than the ZR1. The ZR1 figures are estimated, not measured, and that torque comes at a FAR higher RPM than with the Viper's V10. It produces big block-like torque a just a few hundred RPMs above idle.
HP/L means nothing. And if you're going to say a car is better by that alone, you can't really know what you're talking about. The Viper beat the ZR1's Ring time. It has better suspension, aero, tires, and brakes. From a performance standpoint, I'd say it's the better car. Though Ring time alone doesn't count for much.
its really hard to say that. until the ZR-1 true stats come out. I will keep a open mind to anything. I will say this though. I have owned them both. I owned a 1990 ZR-1 and now a 1994 RT/10. It was pretty close back than I am sure it will be close now. I am rooting for the ZR-1 though
The ACR would kill the Z06 and the ZR1 in a track with "actual" turns,
there's even proof in the Car And Driver Mag Track Test where the ACR, beat the Porsche GT2, Z06, and Nissan GT-R, in 0-60, overall lap time, and skidpad g's
all good cars though but the ACR is the best handling period
Except your overlooking the fact that dealerships are not going to get these cars. Every single ACR was pre-ordered and will be delivered to its lucky customer. This car is already sold out. You cannot place an order for one anymore.
Road & Track took 3 cars to Willow Springs: a Lamborghini Superleggera, A Porsche GT3 RS, and a Viper SRT-10 ACR. They had Steve Millen drive all 3. The lap times? Porsche - 1.33.14, Lamborghini - 1.32.47, Viper - 1.29.33. The ACR only costs $5,600 more than a regular Viper (less than half as much as the other 2 cars) and it is also street legal. So much for the superiority of European engineering.
you're that viper that told me the viper acr beats the zo6 in every category. well, it did win the skidpad, slalom, acceleration, top speed, and virginia international raceway. the viper convertible side view in venom red is irresistible. much better than the bubbly glass dome at the back of the vette.
Hell yeah, viper power...except you'll get cooked in the ACR lol but if you can afford any of these you've probably got a decent Accord or something to putter around in anyway.
The Viper and the Corvette are both great cars, but the Viper is a better track car, especially with this ACR. The Corvette though is better on the straights and is beaten by the Viper on the track.
Sure the ZR1 would beat the normal Viper, but its probaly going to run over at least 100,000. I know the ACR is 100,000 also, but it all depends on what you want, a overall better track car, or a straightaway car. (P.S the Viper!!! lol)
And, I have a dodge Viper gts acr with a venom 1,000,000 engine, im thinkiof getting the acr with the Ultra Ultra Ultra hardcore packcage all JET Black though with even blacker 27 inch rims, don't like red even less.
i have a 2001 dodge viper gts acr with a venom 1000 engine,im thinking of getting the new acr with the hardcore packcage all black though with black 20 and 21s inch rims,dont like red that much.
vitto ur a FUCKING RETARD, u think the viper doesnt turn? it has almost the best G forces in the world, only being beaten by what the Atom and the koenigsegg? wowee, and best brakes in the world THE BEST, FIRST, and this new viper acr holds the record for the tracks its been on so fuck you loser
the viper and the corvette Are both very nice cars. and most say that the zo6 could KILL a srt-10. but where else can you get 600HP for under $100,000 and nice looks. and are we all forgetting that the viper can reach 0 to 100 mph in just under 4. now thats what i call a car....
i have a viper so all of you haters are talk!!! skittleskatr your good!!! everyone else, watch your bitch, make sure i dont see her!!! request me & get shit on!!!! myspace/firstroundkofightgear
flash news...Dodge doesn;t wat to continue doing the Viper for the 2010,,they are gona make a new mid motor supercar..that can turn in corners i hope.
Dodge definately wants to continue the Viper, it's Cerberus that's against it. A bad move I say. And there is no confirmed information on the end of production or a replacement, and why would it be mid engined anyway. A Viper replacement would probably be of lesser status than the Viper since the only reason to end the car would be cost. And in case you haven't noticed, the Viper is one of the most capable cars in corners. This one is even more of a track machine.
yous are posers vipers are a bullit on a straight line (not turning) viper is one of the fastest cars made 0-100 3.9 secs read the viper specs dumbasses
yeah!, if you actualy look it up in the dodge site it would say that but they also proclaim that the 2006 can get from 0-100MPH in less than that but i highly dout that it can do that. their just trying to sound better than anyone else
POSER!!!!!! viper is also my fav car and also my friend has one and i was also band from my scool computers for looking at the specs OF THE VIPER I KNOW WHAT IM TALKIN BOUT YOU STUPID LITTLE POSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok people, you can call me idiot and whatever you want, i dont know too much about cars, but, what happens in rain water gets in through the hood vents >?
man, everybody knows that european cars are the bets in the world, but, viper is fucking awesome, it would look even cooler if would've been driven by some good driver instead of those faggots..
i sewr if i get the guy that fucking drove i would beat his face up he dose not no how to fucking drive thats not drifting he fucked up the colls on it
The ZR1 cannot touch the Viper. The Z06 has a better shot a beating the Viper because it has a weight advantage. The ZR1 and the Viper weigh almost identical. Plus, 120K for a ZR1... fuck that... If I had to drop that kind of money on a vette (which I wouldnt) I would drop 70K on the Z06 and put the additional 50K into a top-line turbo or supercharger for my Z06 and make it just as fast if not faster than the ZR1 and Viper. I would never buy a vette though. I think they are gay.
yes the viper would prob win on an oval track and drag race...but the ACR is a better handling car so I would like to see them on a track with lots of twisties
Because the Corvette is a better engineered car and was designed to be a track car. The Viper isn't exactly the best engineered car and while I suppose you could race it on a track, it performs best in a straight line. If you want to race a Viper, best stick to the drag strip. Regardless, I LOVE the Viper and HATE Corvettes. The Viper is so much more "in your face" and is such a badass ride, how could you not like it? The Z06 I do like though, while I would never buy one, its still a boss car
Yeah, it is possible for someone to hate something and still have respect for it you fucking idiot. I hate fucking corvettes. I think they look like shit and there are way to common amoung poser racers, but at the same time, I respect them. You are fucking retarded.
Um no vettes have never had better track times until the C6z06 which has been completely even, hell the 08 viper is well over 2 secs faster then the z06 (which was tested on a better day) at VIR. 2006 Viper and 07-08 z06 tested at VIR ran the EXACT same times.
Um no, VIR the cars numbers where IDENTICAL when tested by Car and driver, Popular Mechanics the Viper BEAT the Z06, and ALWAYS? so the 3 years the z06 has been out is always? Up until 2005 the viper beat the corvette in every aspect. The z06 is slightly faster in a straightline but on a course its anyones game.
I dont need to look at the video real, I KNOW itll be a track monster, stacked up against the ACR with just 20 more HP and no weight advantage the ACR will kill it on a course, in a straightline is a different story but thats not what the ACR was built for. ( Dont get into this underrated stuff the viper motor is well underrated). Yes the ZR-1 is a great machine but on the course the ACR is going to win. Im tired of arguing can we agree that no european car today will touch either?
that's the key point right there "european car today will touch either" the vette and the viper are on the same team. and these people keep talking about the gtr is the shit, while it aint bout nothing.
The GTR is an over rated over priced machine Id pick up a z06 over that crap anyday. Im over this Vette vs Viper crap I could careless. There isnt one european car still in production that will beat the Viper ACR or ZR-1 around a track, (out of production is a different story) would be interesting to see and Enzo, CGT, ACR, Zr-1 at VIR or Laguna.
we have been going back and forth for a while. our cars or cheaper and still run faster. people think american engineering is bad, it's better than what they think it is
All import tuners think the skyline is the best thing since sliced bread. Yes its a nice little car no doubt but stock skylines up until the GTR are slow as sin stock. The GTR is nice but fails in comparison when compared to anything it competes with from vipers/z06 to porsches. Given the choice 80k I would buy a Z06 or viper or spend the extra money to get Porsche GT2/3
Uhm no. The new GTR was purposely built to beat even those specific cars you mentioned. It's purpose was to beat the Porsche 911. Not ALL the stock skylines are, especially the Z-tune Skyline, and the GT-R LM's. The older ones are slow by todays standards, but a few years ago they were on top from the R32 and up. Don't get me wrong, the Skyline isn't the best car, but get your shit straight first son. Also the Z06 sux, the ZR1 is where it's at. I drive an E30 M3.
Yeah purpose built to beat cars like the porsche 911 but not cars like the Z06, viper and CGT they are on another level altogether. Get my shit straight? Yes they were fast in their day but not that fast at that, Z-tune Ill give you that but great only 20 were made out of USED skylines, the LM was nothing special it had no boost in power it was just a commemorative edition for their N1 Le Mans car. And the z06 sucks? Thats why its a known World beating sports car. I dont care what you drive.
Um how so? The DOHC hemi produces more power per liter gaurenteed, im talking about top fuel racers who use Chrysler DOHC hemis which produce well over 8000hp on 500CI engines.
No it aint, not when Edmunds tested them, not when Car and driver tested them, not when road and track tested them. Write this down, VIR is not the only track in the world. On Hockenheim for example in the Z06 beat the old viper by about 2 seconds
And Laguna Seca the viper beat the z06 by full second your point? You have only proven that the z06 and 2006 viper are a drivers race when it comes down to course racing and the old viper weighs 277lbs more then the z06. Put those numbers to the ACR and ZR-1 which has no weight advantage whatsoever, virtually the same power, the viper handles better, better brakes, better tires, lighter rotors, wider tires, better traction. The ACR WILL come out on top.
Really? A lie that the ACR will beat the ZR-1 on a course? Really lets see, 2006 Viper (3450lbs) vs a 2006 Z06 (3180lbs) ran at VIR by Car and driver on the same day 3:01.01 Dodge Viper 3:01.06 COMPLETELY identical (alright not identical but a mere hundreth of a second means nothing) Thats weighing over 250lbs more. Now the ACR with virtually the same weight (there goes that advantage), better brakes, more downforce, better Gs, better tires, lighter rotors wont win? Numbers speak for themselves.
120k? What the hell are you talking about? The ZR1 is going to stick for 100k. You think they are gay, I think you need to come up with better insults...
Yeah, 120K is the price revealed by chevy. Go look it up. LOL, you tell me to come up with better insults then you call me gay... perhaps the lamest insult ever........pathetic!!!
No 100k is the price revealed by GM, I think you need to look it up. ROFL, you are a true waste of space, I didn't call you gay, I said you need better insults. Now its clear, you need better insults AND a reading comprehension class
The ZR1 will cost more than 100k, I guarantee you that. It will probably be a little quicker than the 86k 2008 Viper SRT-10. But the added blower and stuff adds more than 200lbs to the front of the ZR1's frame, moving the front weight-bias to 53%front/47%rear. With 620hp? Sounds scary when the Z06 can already spin like crazy off the line. If it becomes an all out HP war, Viper will win unless GM radically redesigns stuff. You can see it in the tuning world, Viper is a superior platform.

MLGCODSTER24 3 years ago
the acr is a race car simple as that so of course it'll tear up the zr1 around a track. would like to see a competition z06 like the acr with a big wing a bigger front splitter and a race setup suspenion and with a couple hundred pounds less
red83944 3 years ago
Viper ACR 600hp, Corvette ZR1 638hp. ACR has 80 lb weight reduction from the GTS. ZR1 has a curb wt. of 3333 lbs. ACR 3400. But the ACR is still faster.

You really can't compare a ZR-1 to an ACR, they're two totally different cars. True, the ACR is "street legal" but in reality it's a purpose built track car. The Radical SR8 is "street legal" too...
As for the "The ZR-1 produces more horsepower with a smaller engine" comment...it's got a supercharger on it. The Viper is naturally aspirated...that's like comparing apples to oranges. Two different ways to do the same thing. Is one better? Depends on what you're looking for...

The Radical SR8 is "street legal" in England! It would never be legal in the US
evan8683 3 years ago
i think the ACR is a better track car. i don't even think you should compare the ZR-1 and ACR. The ACR is pretty much a pure race car, not much of a daily driver at all as i saw in some vids. the ZR-1 is a combo of both. it's got all the goodies, leather, navigation, etc. Not trying to shave every ounce like on the viper. So, for a car i'd take the ZR-1 any day. but i like the viper as well. just my opinion. America is kicking ass now!
Nick1944 3 years ago
To close a lot of argument, the ACR lapped the ring in 7:22, unofficially. Faster than the GT-R and ZR-1
pace2012 3 years ago 3
Amazing car, and to all of you fanboys, this car would be faster than the ZR1 or GTR because it's pretty much a track day car. IE not a very good street car.

Didn't i just say the zo6 would lose to an ACR on the track? A ZR-1 isn't going to though. And for you to say the zo6 is 'leagues behind' the ACR is just disrespectful. Last time i checked it doesnt even have a better 0-60. Why do people hate on vette's so much? i never understood. because they make people look bad..i guess
yourajoke1 3 years ago
So you meant drag racing. In a straight line, it's closer, but the Viper is still faster. Better power/weight ratio and more traction. Since the Viper isn't a drag racer I didn't think you'd bring that up. On the track, yes, the Z06 is leagues behind. It's basically street car vs race car. BTW, I don't hate the Corvette, or any car. The Z06 is one of my favorites. I would have liked to have seen a sportier Z06 instead of the ZR-1. Probably would be faster.

KARASAWA40 3 years ago
Hmmmm. The ZR-1 beat the GT-R's lap time at the ring by 1/100th of a second. When the ACR was run against the GT-R on a tighter track that hurts the ACR it beat the GT-R by FIVE SECONDS. Sorry, the ZR-1 will have no chance against the ACR.
omcx1 3 years ago
Check you times...the ZR1 beat the GT-R time around the Nürburgring by 3 seconds. The Zr1 produces 38 more HP and it only has a V-8 (SC) rather than the 8.3 litre V-10 that the ACR has. ZR1 is better than the ACR.
godofwar2master 3 years ago
The GT-R V-Spec ran 7:25 and the ZR-1 ran 7:24. That is 1/100th of a second. The ACR will run circles around the ZR-1.
omcx1 3 years ago
Sorry, 1 second, not 1/100th.
omcx1 3 years ago
Commom sense favors the ACR Viper over the regular zo6, on the track since its suppose to be a track car. But common sense favors the ZR-1, where it has more power than the ACR. Not to mention the regular zo6 stays right with the ACR..imagine another 130hp and better traction? Common sense before testing says the ZR-1 will..and should own.
yourajoke1 3 years ago
You've been misinformed. The Z06 is leagues behind the ACR. It is also slower than the base SRT-10 in straights and through corners. The ZR-1 is not lighter than the ACR, it produces less downforce to my knowledge, has less grippy tires, and lacks the ACR's racing suspension. It does have more power, and will probably win a drag race, but on a track with corners, the Viper has too many advantages. It will have higher corner speed, and put the power down better coming out of turns.
KARASAWA40 3 years ago
Doucher? I'm sorry to dissapoint you ristika89, but i have driven both cars. Not an ACR, but an 08 viper coupe. My dad has an 08 zo6, that runs a consistent 3.4 0-60 with borla exhaust. Not to mention excellent handling, and low 11's quarter mile. And no the viper was not more fun to drive, but the viper does look nicer. And anyone with common sense would know that an 09 zr1 is and will be overall better than an ACR without question. Thats if you know anything about cars though.
yourajoke1 3 years ago
Common sense favors the Viper. It's a track car, so it should be expected to win. The ZR-1 is very GT like by comparison. I'm pretty sure GM isn't even worrying about the ACR because it's so different from the ZR-1. It's also hard to absolutely know, as you claim to, when one car isn't ever out yet.
KARASAWA40 3 years ago
Oh really? The new zr1 would get killed by the ACR viper if the track had turns? Did someone really just say that? Yeah it beats the zo6 because its a special viper. You must be confused. The zr1 is not the same as the new zo6. It has another 125 horsepower than the zo6, and will give it to the ACR on a track WITH turns. Nice try though.
yourajoke1 3 years ago
whatever doucher, if you actually had both cars, you could see that vipers are more fun to drive.
ristika89 3 years ago
yes, i know the difference between a zr1 and an acr,
okay the acr is a "special viper", but remember the Zr1 is a "special corvette" also, not just a zo6
both cars are great, but everyone's going to have an opinion and choose a side, you like the corvette, while i like the viper, so everyone will try to defend their favorite car
its all biased and based on opinions
xVTHokiesx 3 years ago
I dont exactly have anything against the Viper but the ZR-1 is better....easily. It has a 8.3 litre V-10 that only produces 600 Hp, the Zr-1 has a 6.3 litre V-8 supercharged and produces 638 HP and has already laped the Nürburgring in 7:26, which is faster than a Zonda F. ZR-1 greater than Viper ACR.
godofwar2master 3 years ago
Geeez. Another guy who thinks the Viper produces 600HP because that is all it can produce. There are Vipers out there producing nearly 2,000HP. The street car has 600HP because that is all it needs to cover the competition, including the ZR-1.
omcx1 3 years ago 12
Yes I realize that there are Vipers out there that produce more than 600 HP. Like the Hennessy Viper which produced 1,000 HP and set the record for fastest 0-60 time. But the ACR viper which is the Viper in question only produces 600 HP. ZR1 produces more HP with a smaller engine. Not only does the Zr1 produce more power but it also gets more torque, ZR1 595 lbs-ft, ACR 560 lbs-ft. ZR1 is better than the ACR.
godofwar2master 3 years ago
If the amount of power compared to the engine size is so important (it is not important at all) then you must think the GT-R is a FAR better car than the ZR1. The ZR1 figures are estimated, not measured, and that torque comes at a FAR higher RPM than with the Viper's V10. It produces big block-like torque a just a few hundred RPMs above idle.

HP/L means nothing. And if you're going to say a car is better by that alone, you can't really know what you're talking about. The Viper beat the ZR1's Ring time. It has better suspension, aero, tires, and brakes. From a performance standpoint, I'd say it's the better car. Though Ring time alone doesn't count for much.

The ACR would kill the Z06 and the ZR1 in a track with "actual" turns,

all good cars though but the ACR is the best handling period

Porsche - 1.33.14, Lamborghini - 1.32.47, Viper - 1.29.33. The ACR only costs $5,600 more than a regular Viper (less than half as much as the other 2 cars) and it is also street legal.

The Viper and the Corvette are both great cars, but the Viper is a better track car, especially with this ACR. The Corvette though is better on the straights and is beaten by the Viper on the track.
Sure the ZR1 would beat the normal Viper, but its probaly going to run over at least 100,000. I know the ACR is 100,000 also, but it all depends on what you want, a overall better track car, or a straightaway car. (P.S the Viper!!! lol)

Dodge definately wants to continue the Viper, it's Cerberus that's against it. A bad move I say. And there is no confirmed information on the end of production or a replacement, and why would it be mid engined anyway. A Viper replacement would probably be of lesser status than the Viper since the only reason to end the car would be cost. And in case you haven't noticed, the Viper is one of the most capable cars in corners. This one is even more of a track machine.

The ZR1 cannot touch the Viper. The Z06 has a better shot a beating the Viper because it has a weight advantage. The ZR1 and the Viper weigh almost identical. Plus, 120K for a ZR1... fuck that... If I had to drop that kind of money on a vette (which I wouldnt) I would drop 70K on the Z06 and put the additional 50K into a top-line turbo or supercharger for my Z06 and make it just as fast if not faster than the ZR1 and Viper. I would never buy a vette though. I think they are gay.

Because the Corvette is a better engineered car and was designed to be a track car. The Viper isn't exactly the best engineered car and while I suppose you could race it on a track, it performs best in a straight line. If you want to race a Viper, best stick to the drag strip. Regardless, I LOVE the Viper and HATE Corvettes. The Viper is so much more "in your face" and is such a badass ride, how could you not like it? The Z06 I do like though, while I would never buy one, its still a boss car

Don't get me wrong, the Skyline isn't the best car, but get your shit straight first son. Also the Z06 sux, the ZR1 is where it's at. I drive an E30 M3.

Yeah purpose built to beat cars like the porsche 911 but not cars like the Z06, viper and CGT they are on another level altogether. Get my shit straight?

And Laguna Seca the viper beat the z06 by full second your point? You have only proven that the z06 and 2006 viper are a drivers race when it comes down to course racing and the old viper weighs 277lbs more then the z06. Put those numbers to the ACR and ZR-1 which has no weight advantage whatsoever, virtually the same power, the viper handles better, better brakes, better tires, lighter rotors, wider tires, better traction. The ACR WILL come out on top.

Now the ACR with virtually the same weight (there goes that advantage), better brakes, more downforce, better Gs, better tires, lighter rotors wont win? Numbers speak for themselves.

The ZR1 will cost more than 100k, I guarantee you that. It will probably be a little quicker than the 86k 2008 Viper SRT-10. But the added blower and stuff adds more than 200lbs to the front of the ZR1's frame, moving the front weight-bias to 53%front/47%rear. With 620hp? Sounds scary when the Z06 can already spin like crazy off the line. If it becomes an all out HP war, Viper will win unless GM radically redesigns stuff. You can see it in the tuning world, Viper is a superior platform.
