Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR: New Nurburgring Record

Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR: New Nurburgring Record
ChryslerVideo has something to brag about...and then some.

The battle for supremacy at the Nurburgring is an ongoing one: virtually every month there's a new car trying to best the record set by its competitors.

How does the Viper stack up against its competition? In the hands of Dutch driver Tom Coronel, driving the car for the first time and on only his third lap - following a couple of slight adjustments to the shock absorbers to address an understeer issue - the car can now claim the title of Fastest At The Ring.

By comparison, see the ZR1's 7:26:4 lap

2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR

2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR

The car in this video from ReedBrothersDodge doesn't even move and we don't even care!

How f***ing cool does this car look?! It's a 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR, which stands for American Club Racer. Because, obviously, 600HP is simply not enough to please people these days. They have to have just a little bit more.

And that's where the ACR edition comes in. While the motor is untouched, this beast of a machine gets several upgrades that reduce weight and, thus, give us more power. Amen to that!

Extra air-flow management, enhanced breaking (did you see the size of those rotors and calipers...), lightweight wheels and some additional weight-saving measures mean this car means very serious business.

We're in love with this car and we haven't even seen it move or heard it rumble. Who we gotta pay around here to get some goddamn RWD, tire-smoking action of this thing?

For some 2-wheels vs. 4-wheels action, who d'ya think's gonna win when it's a Twin Turbo Dodge Viper vs. Turbo Suzuki Hayabusa

Drool over the 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR here.
