Don't forget to break it in and change engine oil early before you take it to the track for the first time. This will actually make difference not only in longevity but in available power. Last but not least -tires makes tons of difference. Not certain what they will put on it during delivery, but likely not the best available. Viper ACR has custom designed Kumho ( out of all makes ) tires, and to my surprise they are fairly priced. Wholesale they run $280 a piece ( rear tires are 355-30-19 ) Because all the aero bits, reviews are looking great for tire wear. |

Congrats, F type will need a friend, but not a competitor as they are different classes of cars. I don't think the rendering comes close to doing justice to what this car is going to look like in reality..
The ACR is a different story though. Most dealers priced them over MSRP and i got it bellow invoice. I drove the GTS, a toned down version of my build, and i was sweating adrenaline. The combination between poor noise insulation, high clutch, long acceleration, overly close pedals makes you wander why you want this car..... However you cannot get enough of it. It sounds nowhere near as good as the R, but it's thrilling in a different way. To quote something i read online, it sounds like 2 dump trucks mating. Having a 8.4 V10, i am sure i'll find a way to make it sound good though. |
My partner has a 2015 that he uses mostly for track purposes but sometimes in the city. While they have significantly improved the interior (quite beautiful and so much better than the earlier years), but the ride quality is terrible for a street car and the sound is also not to my liking. But it is certainly a strikingly beautiful, aggressive looking sports car.

The V10 in the Viper has never sounded "well."
|
yep sound is major problem with that viper motor, sounds like a v8 with a broken manifold, and from what i read even worse when you pull all the sound deadening out
have a cgt and that v10 is arguably one of the best sounding motors ever made, shame not all v10's are created equal lol now about that motor....... http://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/d...062c?width=650 |
