The Viper ACR is 100% street-legal; the tires are Pilot Sport Cups which are DOT-approved and the center part of the splitter is quick-release so it can be removed for the street and installed at the track.

I'm not a fan of the grill on that Lexus, but it's 10x better than the can-opener looking grill on all the latest Acura models.

I started to type a similar reply to this, but decided not to have this same discussion AGAIN about the ACR. Corvettes are not the only badass performance cars made -- Vipers are awesome and not ILLEGAL just because they run a faster 'Ring time!!!

That said, the viper definitely has more presence than the Vette. You see a Vette ZR1, and you're like "Super car....?"

You see a Viper base model, and it's "SUPER CAR!"



Hahaha, yeah. The "clown shoe".

It called the Lexus LF-LC sport coupe design and will be shown at the 2012 Detroit Auto show starting on Monday!



I take that back; it has an ugly front end; the same one used on their 2012 GS350!
Maybe it's just me, but the front end looks like the face of "Predator".
