I did come here to ask a ?

I had read that the Viper was to have a Supercharged version of the V10 rated ~750HP.
Was that just a rumor or was there any truth to it?

Seems like the ACR would have been a great car to showcase it.

I believe there was truth to it and that it was a specific dealer option. I don't honestly know where they are with that right now, as Id have absolutely no interest in one.

I disagree. The ACR would have lost its appeal to MANY purists/trackers if it went FI.

(additionally it was in the 900hp neighborhood not 750)

Ah the purist...guess they saved the high HP FI engine for the Hellcat.

Good luck with the car!

This is how I understand it from what I know (which isn't a lot). The SRT group likes to play everything pretty close to the chest. Nothing from the OEM, but it's a dealer option at the Viper Exchange IIRC.

We don't really get along, but I want to congratulate you on the ACR. I'm sure you'll enjoy it for many miles! You'll post pictures when you get the car, right?

Arrow is releasing a supercharger estimated at 900hp to be released in 2016.

It's treating me great Game

He will definitely need to invest in drag radials if he doesn't want to have to baby the throttle like "someone" did in this video...

very cool!
Not to prod too much... but are dealers flexible on price versus MSRP for these cars? what tracks will you take it to?

hopefully one day i will join the ACR club.

Congrats, enjoy!

I recently started thinking about my Corvette ownership and am wondering if I will buy another, not that Corvettes aren't great cars but maybe it's time for something different.....we'll see.
