Tom Coronel drivining Dodge Viper ACR at the Ring with Telemetry

We're not terribly surprised that the Dodge Viper ACR has apparently made it around the famed German racing circuit faster than pretty much anything else you'll find on a dealer's lot. After all, the ACR is a race car, as evidenced by the video that Motor Trend has posted. The most venomous Viper has done the deed in 7:22, fast enough to make grown men cry.
this result is FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) driver Tom Coronel, who pilots a Leon TFSi for SEAT Team Holland. On his fourth attempt, he established an amazing 7:22.1 (first two laps-a 7:42 and a 7:35 and third 7:24).

i still think tom coronel knows what he's doing more than all the internet racing drivers posting here.

I guess gear ratio was set to that.

Shifter is shaking because the driver is banging on the rev limiter on purpose rather than shifting gears and losing time. Anyone here actually ever track a car? All these comments are from couch dreamers.

[Kinnanigans]

why was he in 4th gear for the final straight? he could have easily gotten to high 5th gear.

[jorjinos]

nice gear lever !! is it shakeweight?? LMAO !!

[MrTforMe]

I love how the gear shifter shakes whe he goes in the high RPM. :P

@spyzox Thats what I was wondering too, cause the ACR has a top speed of 205 mph and I doubt he could get to that on the straight so it shouldn't be hitting the rev limiter

[spyzox]

was he in 4th(at rev limit) on the final straight?

@hsieh811 Lexus LFA is 7:38.. ran by Sport Auto. And first two cars are street legal in the UK only, hence why no one recognizes their times. Gumpert is now officially the fastest. You are also missing the '11 GT2 RS and Donkervoort D8 RS(which i think is only street legal in Netherlands, if at all).

[mosery77]

what an incredible rev limiter

@sancus123
