We're not terribly surprised that the Dodge Viper ACR has apparently made it around the famed German racing circuit faster than pretty much anything else you'll find on a dealer's lot. After all, the ACR is a race car, as evidenced by the video that Motor Trend has posted. The most venomous Viper has done the deed in 7:22, fast enough to make grown men cry.this result is FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) driver Tom Coronel, who pilots a Leon TFSi for SEAT Team Holland. On his fourth attempt, he established an amazing 7:22.1 (first two laps-a 7:42 and a 7:35 and third 7:24).MORE http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/27/unofficial-dodge-viper-acr-laps-ring-in-record-7-22-1-w-video/Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR at the Ring(pic) http://photoshocks.blog50.fc2.com/blog-entry-564.htmlMy blog : Photoshocks videohttp://photoshocks.blog.shinobi.jp/http://photoshocks.blog50.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html

Nov 8, 2008 - The new ZR1 time is 7:22.4 pretty much a virtual tie with the ACR. Good job Dodge and GM. Now that GM has a pro driver I wonder who will break 7:20 first

Nov 8, 2008 - since when is the precise external dimensions of an engine is a factor?either way they're much heavier

Nov 11, 2008 - "since when is the precise external dimensions of an engine is a factor?"-ever simce there has been limited space in every vehicles engine bay. viper V10 weighs a little over 500lbs, GTR 3.8 weighs a little over 600lbs-anything else dumbass?

Nov 11, 2008 - what's with hitting the rev limiter so much?
robbo152094 Says:
Nov 13, 2008 - its stops him changing gear and wasting time. he hittin the rev limiter when he changes gear because he is keepin his foot flat to the floor whilst puttin da cluctch in to change gear
nicknpo Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - wow he almost wiped hard at 2:43

Nov 26, 2008 - That's a viper, rattling it's gear leaver like a pit viper rattles it's tail
juggalo1021 Says:
Nov 27, 2008 - i love how whenever i come onto a video that shows a car that beats the GTR there is always someone in there that is still saying that the GTR is faster. for the last time no it isn't. if you did research you would know that and wouldn't look like a complete dumbass
bitchtastic Says:
Nov 29, 2008 - Well the rev limiter works, now to install those stiffer motor and trans mounts so the shifter nob doesn't vibrate off.

Nov 29, 2008 - This is crazy, it has less power than an Enzo and still beats it, that means it's not all power but sophistication

Nov 30, 2008 - I love it...it is simply awesome!
bubbajan21 Says:
Nov 30, 2008 - It doesn't even look all that fast.
tvorchay Says:
Dec 11, 2008 - could have an even better time without grinding the rev limiter and miss-shifts ... a good solution to the ZR1 ;-]
dautolover Says:
Dec 15, 2008 - this viper takes a beating everytime he lets the car hit the rev limiter. this car's potential is its handling, im sure. the car probably corners so fast that not even the power of the corvette can catch up
dwiggs77 Says:
Dec 19, 2008 - the straight alone was awful to listen to as the rev limiter chattered.the car just plain ran out of gear....that thing needed a 7th gear or something,god damn
Refort610 Says:
Dec 20, 2008 - He was in 4th gear down the straight
supraman181 Says:
Dec 20, 2008 - i drive better than u
Refort610 Says:
Dec 21, 2008 - You drive better then a guy that races for a living?
nad77772 Says:
Dec 23, 2008 - If it doesn't look fast then why does it hold the record
bubbajan21 Says:
Dec 23, 2008 - I wasn't saying it wasn't fast, I was saying it makes it look effortless. This is one of my favorite cars and I didn't mean that to put down the car.Sorry For The Confusion
nad77772 Says:
Dec 23, 2008 - Then you should have said the car is way faster than it looks
doober9091 Says:
Dec 29, 2008 - It's a race car..they engineered it so people can drive the piss out of them..hitting the rev limiter like he was is perfectly fine
vlbballa15 Says:
Jan 6, 2009 - needs to change the gears..they are too short and he keeps hitting the rev limiter, not good for motor and could be ALOT faster at that track..and I don't see how that is the lap record with those weaknesses
304teddy Says:
Nov 8, 2008 - the viper v10 has about the same external dimensions as the GTRs 3.8 but weighs 100lbs less. the ZR1 6.2 is alot more compact and weighs almost 200lbs less-so yeah they are very compact when compared to performance import motors. even the 2JZ is big and heavy compared to a LS V8 dumbass.
