The 2016 Dodge Viper ACR is finally here. This ACR track weapon is absolutely obnoxious, yet still street legal. Although you still get functioning A/C, the Dodge team has removed most of the carpet padding, reduced the sound system to the bare minimum, removed all of the carpet and trim from the trunk area, and there is zero sound deadening in front of the rear wheel wells. All of this equals a curb weight of just 3,392 lbs.

Oh, and did we mention 645 HP / 600 LB-FT out of the 8.4L V10? Top Speed is drag limited (thanks, massive X-Wing attached to trunklid) to ‘just’ 177 MPH. The ACR also includes 10-way adjustable Bilstein Motorsports shocks, Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, a rear diffuser, and a front splitter. It should also be noted that Dodge claims the DOT-approved Kumho Ecsta V720 tires on the new Viper ACR produce faster lap times than some race-compound tires.

The ACR also produces a staggering 1,228 pounds of downforce at 150 mph. It’s actually safer for you to barrel into turns at a higher speed. Not only will your lap times improve, but the car is much more stable at higher speeds entering/exiting a corner. Because of all the extra downforce, the Viper T/A might actually outrun this ACR model in the straights, but the ACR is in an entirely new dimension in the esses.

This Viper ACR is bred for the track. It’s raw, less-refined – it reminds of us of what the Viper was always intended to be.
