C'mon...they're both built for speed and their racing characteristics. Nothing more nothing less.
Props to Viper for regaining their "King of the Hill" status at Laguna Seca Raceway!!!
PS. I'm a lifetime high performance Vette owner that has never, and may never own a Viper but I certainly have a great deal of respect for them.

, most of the people who argue are the ones who Zaino their cars every week , and complain about wanting a automatic hatch closer , they read magazines and havent been near a racetrack.fact of the matter is the ZR1 will never beat an ACR Viper around a course, period, get over it already

Perfect post, athough the ACR is geared more for the track, it is a street car, just like a corvette, what people dont know is that there is all all purpose race viper called the competition coupe, that dodge has sold for years. BTW I own both Viper and 06 Z, brand loyal people are always going to make excuses, tires, illegal splitter , bla bla bla, most of the people who argue are the ones who Zaino their cars every week , and complain about wanting a automatic hatch closer , they read magazines and haven been near a racetrack.fact of the matter is the ZR1 will never beat an ACR Viper around a course, period, get over it already

Is the 2010 viper acr different from the 2009?
Edit- Looks like a revised rear wing, 5th gear ratio, short throw shifter and horrendous paint job.

top speed is now 202 mph, and quicker (it can reach said top speed a whole 14 seconds sooner than the 2009 model). How? Gearing, specifically 5th gear, which has been revised from 0.741 to 0.796. Also, the end caps on the giant wing have been revised, resulting in that higher top end.

honestly, im sure the viper is an insanely impressive animal BUT your comparing it to a car that comes with navigation and heated seats yada yada... Hell, do base vipers even have cup holders? Even if you stripped a zr1 to nothing like the viper and set it up for the track, im not sure if it would win or not, i just know going on a nice trip or for an occasional drive or even daily driving is possible and comfortable with a vette, while still competing with animals like the acr. Holy run on sentence bat man...

I wont be the one testing it though lol, I quit doing high-speed runs a long time ago, just too dangerous and not fun.

Is that 184 mph with the wing and splitter set to minimum or maximum downforce?
Jim Mero with full GM support, plenty of tires, alignment tweaks, and 6 laps would probably set a very close lap time in a ZR1...

you obviously (like many), never sat in a Viper, a car that comes with air power windows etc isnt what I would call stirpped, but yes any model corvette, feels like a caddy in ride, IMO my 06 Z is to numb, I prefer the feel my C5 Z had, but then again im in my early 30's, I like the bumps. point is we are talking about performance, not everyday driving.
