Thumbs down

Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR
King of the Nurburgring!!!
Cheaper than the ZR1
Adjustable aero
ZR1 KILLER!!!!!


Therefore, the ZR1 sucks!




The GTR is a great car for the money. The same concept is used when stating that the Z06 is great car for the money.
If it was my money, I would go for the GTR. More practicality, and more bang for the buck!

yes there is, at the engine/flywheel. Once that power hit's the flywheel, it's out of the SC parasitic loss arena.



maybe it has something to do with the huge wheels, the rear mounted trans, and the GM "Torque Tube".

What's a torque tube?
The trans on the vette is mounted in the rear. There is a prop shaft inside of a tube that goes to the rear trans.

I'm sure the ACR beat's its times just guessing.

I believe the ACR currently sits on top the Ring leaderboards. Will get back with the time.

8th place on the Nurburgring for $76,xxx. Sounds pretty good to me.


Too bad all those cars under first place suck!

Zonda ....love.


I expected more out of the CCX...... I think MANY expected more outa the Carrera GT but I already found it to be a over hyped over-rated vehicle.
