BADASS! Great color scheme and stripe choice. Congrats.

I'm shopping a new ACR right now. Mind if I ask where you got it from and how much? Please send me a PM if you don't want to answer here. TIA.

thanks!....I got it from Buds in Celina, OH....it was there last ACR....paid Invoice which was just shy of 100K and got 0% financing....pretty much any 09 can be had for invoice at this point and I think Dodge is still running the financing incentive....I know that http://www.viperexchange.com/vipers.php#new down in TX has a bunch of 09 ACR's and great service....I just went with Buds because I saved about a grand on shipping....

Thanks for the information. I'll check out the link. Would appreciate any feedback once you get her on the track if you don't mind updating this thread periodically. I'm subscribed. Thanks again.

Link to the GTR running a 7:26? This is the first I've heard of it.

According to wikipedia the GTR got 7:26....

20,832 m (68,350 ft) 7:26.70 Nissan GT-R (2009) Toshio Suzuki 23 April 2009 Nissan Motors conducted test. Completed on standard Dunlop run flat tires, video confirmed. Best Motoring (08/2009).[12]


This is just shy of the 7:26:4 that the ZR1 got.

You're going to have to do better than a wiki quote sorry. I've seen some bogus things on that site before. Until I see a link verifying a STOCK GT-R ran a 7:26 I'm calling BS.

Wikipedia isn't official anything.....anyone can edit it and put what they want....I believe the official time for the GT-R is 7:29....

If I were driving these car the GTR time would be somewhere in 10s, but only if I driven it before the viper ... because the viper will kill me.
