08 Viper ACR makes 604rwhp w/ bolt-ons

No joke. The cars are monsters. Dodge left so much power on the table. Who would think you could pick up 60rwhp and 60rwtq with headers, exhaust, tune and CAI. Basic bolt-ons. Below is the vid.

Some days, I want a 08 ACR real bad....

Dodge really did a good job with the Gen IV Vipers. Too bad they are not going to be around, you know Fiat is going to kill them off as nothing Ferrari or Masarati makes can touch them(Viper holds the world record for N'ring @ 7.22). they can't have a "cheapo American" car kicking the crap out of thier beloved Ferrari brand. It's about 6-7sec faster than an Enzo.

To put it into prospective, to get 600rwhp out of an older Viper( N/A and pump gas) you need Heads, Cam, headers, exhaust, 11.5:1cr pistons and tune. Or you can do it the easy way and put on a Roe S/C or Paxton and run 5.5psi -7psi of boost on a stock motor.

Love ACR's - surprisingly never seen one. Not even at Sebring!

Now that car would be a blast!

Sorry man, but the Acr viper is barely 3 seconds faster than an Enzo and 2 seconds faster than an MC12. The regular viper barely makes it into the 7 minute range on the ring. And seriously, you are comparing an 80k dodge to a ferrari..also, i think Fiat would only kill off the viper to fix up all the financial problems chrysler/dodge have and fix up all the other models in the lineup, like the crappy caliber..I mean I like the viper and hope that it won't happen, but it doesn't look to bright either..

What I do agree with you about is that the Viper is gone soon. No way Fiat is going to keep it around because a “low tech hill billy American car” could never be allowed to beat out high and mighty Ferrari. What is sad about it that Jeep and Viper are the two most profitable brands in Chrysler.

What I think you didn’t know is that the “regular Viper” that you said is actually the 03-06 Gen 3 Viper. While the 08+ is the Gen 4. Major difference between them mechanically. Similar to the Evo 8 vs Evo 9. But with the Viper the differences are a bit more drastic, new engine, new trans, new suspension, new rear diff, new ECU, new Tires…none of those parts are shared.

I was wrong to put down Enzo, your right. I was thinking F430 Scuderia. But the Viper still beats the best the world has to offer with the exception of the Radical SR8 (but can you really count that, it’s not really a street car???)

I highly doubt that Fiat sees the Viper as a threat to any Ferrari. See the thing is, people that can afford and buy Ferraris, don't buy Vipers as a replacement to their Ferrari. If they buy them at all, it would be in addition to their Ferrari. You also have to understand, not every Ferrari buyer buys their Ferrari to track it every weekend. They want the luxury and exclusive look of owning a Ferrari. That is something you won't get in a car like the viper.

You are right, I did indeed not know that there was a difference for those years, but I still don't see the regular viper, even the new, getting close to enzo territory. There is a reason for why that car cost so much money. I mean Michael Schumacher helped develop that car.

Can it beat the Ultima GTR from 0-100-0 in 9.4 seconds? Can it beat the Buggati Veyron's top speed? Because it apparently can't beat the best the world has to offer..

You're arguing fast cars with a German kid. Give up, you can't win.

The Ultima GTR is classified as a Kit Car. While I have absoulte respect for it's performance (and would love to have a TT version). Technically you can't compair it as a "production car"(what we are compairing). But yes, it will kick the Viper's ass in accleration and in most any other performance catagory, A Factory 5 GTM would be a better compairison for the Ultima.

I doubt the Buggati Veryron would run a faster time at the ring(what we are compairing here). The Veyron would get left in the dust in the turns and during braking. Yet would chase the Viper down outside of that. At 4,162lbs...it's got alot of weight working against it on a track. It has a better interior though. It would be interesting to see what happens as the Veryon has never been ran at the ring, we can only speculate (or bench race :D ).

EJ 25....your not a Viper fan, and that's ok, nothing wrong with that, it's not a car for everyone. I hate Ferrari (I used to have a F355 F1....don't get me started on that POS...I hated that car) Ferrari are wonderful cars for the right people. I would love a Noble M400, while not the fastest car...I love them. The Viper is a world class super car if you like it or not. You don't have to like a perticular car, but if it deserves props...you should give it props.

So back on topic....how cool is it to make 600rwhp+ N/A w/bolt-ons on pump gas.
