This thread is great. Insults and non sequiturs peppered with the occasional meaningful remark.

Was offered to drive my friends 1-of-1 ACR-E at Daytona-Rolex today. Unfortunately, the Gen V ACR does not have a rear differential cooler, and he was meatballed for cloud of burning diff oil behind the car. Hopefully it will be fixed for tomorrow's session, pictures may follow.

Wing = Airfoil != Spoiler

Fiber wheels, and a 200 shot to yank all that ACR DF down the 1/4. Kind of done!

That should fill it out nicely:

Well the Viper can be modded with the Mag-like Tractive suspension which is an improvement over the stock Bilsteins from what I've read. Instead of a blower there is a H/C package that adds about 100 hp with supporting mods that's been a proven reliable mod. It can also be lightened further with exhaust, battery and seats mods etc.

I always thought it called a gurney flap. Either way.. Id rather DD this one rather than the Fast and Furious wannabe wing on the ACR.

Oh yeah its the butthurt insecure troll from the C6 section. I guess I just love being stalked by a bunch of 8-10 year old C6 owners
