I did enjoy. Thanks! I detected a couple of small hitches during gear changes but I doubt that was enough to prevent that sub 7 minute run they've been seeking. What a great effort on their part. The photo of the car after the tire failure on the next lap is disturbing. Such a shame.

Thanks for posting.

from Facebook ViperRingKing

"We went to the shop today to visit our hurt friend and managed to download this from its video / data recorder. You'll notice several spots where the tranny resisted between second and third gears. That alone cost us 2 seconds (we didn't have any more spare transmissions). This was Lance's FIRST HOT LAP. Time and money. If we had a little more...... Again, Viper Nation, THANK YOU."

Nice run Absent those shifter issues it may have a sub 7 minute time in it. Nice driving but perhaps not the smoothest run I've seen.

Was hoping for a sub 7 run but hey, considering this car is a manual, rwd, lack of support and its out of the box cost, this is still a win for Viper. Not to mention the 4th gen ACR still holds a very impressive spot on the rings fast list. Kudos to Dodge for how impressive ACR's perform.

I just had the ACR on track a week ago and love how it makes me appear better than what I am.

Cant wait to see what the new ZR1 will do.
