Dodge Viper ACR Posts 7:12 Nurburgring Lap Time

http://wot.motortrend.com/dodge-vipe...me-117853.html

ViperClub reports that the final time for the Viper ACR was just over 7:12, which beats the Lexus’ lap time at the Nürburgring Nordschleife by about two seconds and gives it the major automaker production car lap record. The time is also ten seconds less than the ACR’s previous lap time, which was set back in 2008.
The record was set thanks to a cooperation between three parties: Dodge’s Special Racing Team provided the driver, and Texas Dodge dealership Tomball Dodge provided two showroom-new 2010 Viper ACRs, which were prepped by German racing team Mintgen Motorsport/Vulkan Racing.
A 7:12 is good enough to vault the 2010 Viper ACR to the top of the heap of major automaker production cars, which means the Viper ACR beat out competitors like the Porsche 911 GT2 RS, Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, and the Lexus LFA Nürburgring. The only production cars that best the Viper ACR are the Gumpert Apollo and Radical SR8, which both have extremely limited production runs.

Impressive performance, OK looks - I just don't understand why domestic performers like the Viper and Boss are looking more and more like Hot Wheels nowadays. When I was a kid, I opted for the 'traditional' muscle and sports cars - the concepts and wild designs usually stayed in my carrying case.

I understand what you are saying. However, going out on a limb here, subtle may not have been what the Viper ACR team was going for.

Must be a sign of the times - my son prefers the wild concepts over the traditionals. but at least there's no whining when dividing the pile for Criss Cross Crash.
