Only a few problems. ACR is a Tuner Car and the ZR1 was bone stock, wheels and all. followed by poor weather conditions on the ZR1 run. Both cars are pretty damn fast.

Well in a way the ACR is stock, in its current trim thats factory stock. Even with its gear ratio having it bounce off the rev limiter during the long straight, its amazingly fast. Theres another vid from Dodge i believe that shows how much downforce the car is achieving.

The Viper also has Weight is also decreased by as much as 80 lb (36 kg) by way of the "Hardcore Package" which deletes radio, speakers, amplifier, trunk carpet, hood pad and tire inflator and will only top out at 176mph. And 7.22 to 7.26. while driving something that will cause you to go to the hospital isn't worth the .04 win.

That is true but there was also a 30mph + head wind on the ZR1's run and not even a professional driver. I think a re run would / should be in order.

It's really a driver's race. .04/second is BS if you take into consideratons the weather plays a factor in this one. THAT IS the best of the best from both Chevy and Mopar. Im a chevy fan but do like the Viper as well. All american muscle really!!!

It's worth it if you are an American Club Racer. People who buy this particular Viper aren't buying it to be a daily driver. They buy it to race. So yes, .04 is worth it in the end.

That is for sure a driver race. I would like to see the ZR1 get a chance to run on an optimal day like other cars. Im sure it will happen soon.

I think Dodge and Chevy had two different goals in mind when making these cars. Props to them both for making badass cars.

Two different league. ACR = All out race car. ZR1 = Ultimate daily derivable street car. If chevy ever makes an all out race car corvette, it will severely stomp all over that ACR. Hell katech's corvette already did so.
