INTRODUCTION: Dodge Viper SRT 10 ACR the street legal track car has completed almost two years. During this phase they have managed to set numerous records at high profile race tracks around the world including the Nurburgring and Laguna Seca circuits.

HIGHLIGHTS:The ACR-X starts with the already formidable ACR and then adds an eight-point roll cage with driver and passenger door bars, a racing seat, and a fuel cell. The 8.4-liter V-10 gets headers and a lower-restriction exhaust for an additional 40 hp, bringing the total up to 640. Weight is down 120 pounds or so from the ACR—which is already 40 pounds lighter than the base Viper—and aerodynamic tweaks result in even more downforce than the 1000 pounds the ACR is said to generate at 150 mph. Sadly, it is not street legal. It did, however, lap Laguna Seca three seconds faster than the ACR used to set the record.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• The power train remains unchanged, but with 600 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque spewing from its 8.4-liters of displacement, we’re not complaining. This is enough to guarantee a 0-60 mph acceleration time of less than 4 seconds, a quarter-mile time in the mid 11-second range and a 0-100-0 mph time in 11 seconds flat.
• Compared to the standard production model of the Dodge Viper, the suspension of the SRT10 ACR-X is racing tuned and enhanced with racetrack usage in mind. The SRT10 ACR-X is also lighter than the standard Viper by 160 pounds, weighing in at 3190 lbs, meant for the vehicle to race through the most difficult road courses head on. Aerodynamic features include a front and rear spoiler, monstrous air intakes, and a scooped hood. The package is meant to augment stability and enhance grip during high-speed turns by improving downforce and general airflow.

CONCLUSION:The Dodge Viper ACR-X is also comprised of original safety features including a roll cage, fuel cells and reinforced racing seats. Supplementary racing features will be added to ensure the car’s durability and reliability during professional competitions. This vehicle is meant to race in the Viper Racing League, Sports Car Club of America and National Auto Sport Association events. The car will be on sale at an estimated price of $110,000, and production will begin in Spring 2010.
