Talking Tested: 2013 SRT Viper vs 2008 ACR Viper

A fellow Viper owner and I went out yesterday and did some acceleration testing. The results may surprise you. Here is the article and video I created:

http://motorhed.com/xf/threads/video...cr-viper.6032/

Now, we certainly understand the ACR should be able to put down better lap times at a roadcourse, but that wasn't what we were testing here.

Please "Like" our Facebook page, for future tests with the Viper. Maybe a ZR1 next? Anyone that still has a non-modded ZR1?

Thanks,
Tony

I would have loved to see a 40mph fourth gear pull to eliminate the driver/ shifting difference. For next time maybe. Thanks for sharing

The big Red Baron wing on the back of the blue car is like a parachute for roll racing. Great for downforce when turning, not so good for straight line speed. Cool cars though and I'm sure the white car is still a little stronger.

I'd play with your 2013 Viper, Tony. Not a ZR1, but close to it in power and N/A like the Viper.

Our 2013 has already lost to a cammed/bolt-on C6Z06 here, making about 580 rwhp. BigBronco's.

My wife did beat a stock Gallardo this past weekend:
