This week SRT showed us the ultimate version of their hand-built all-American, the 2016 Dodge Viper American Club Racer known as ACR.
The Viper ACR is put forth as the ultimate street-legal race car , offering aggressive aerodynamic and suspension upgrades, high-end carbon ceramic brakes and special tires specifically designed for ACR,
Dodge says the ACR’s Extreme Aero Package delivers nearly 2000 pounds of downforce at top speed, using a huge carbon fiber rear wing, rear diffuser, extended front splitter and additional dive planes on the sides.
The standard Viper already has a kidney thumping suspension, but the ACR goes further with 10-setting, double-adjustable coil-over Bilstein shocks which offer up to 3-inches of height adjustment at each corner for specific track tuning.
Its 19-inch wheels are wrapped with specific Kumho Ecsta V720 tires, 295/25 at front, and 355/30 at the rear. Dodge says these enable lap times 1.5 seconds quicker on the tire change alone.
And in the how much better than a standard Viper is it category, Dodge claims the suspension, tires and aerodynamic changes turn up to 1.5 g sustained cornering ability.
And stopping, well that comes courtesy of rather pricey Brembo 15-inch carbon ceramic matrix brakes. Power on the other hand remains stockly at 645 horsepower from its 8.4 liter V10.
Just recently we talked of the Viper 1 of 1 program. And while the new Viper ACR is very unique and special, you can also order yours though the bespoke 1 of 1 process. Gnarly.
