These are still the only production cars with a faster lap time than the 2017 DODGE VIPER ACR 4 $140k
    The Viper ACR EARNED respect from the most discerning European Auto Journalists who normally love to mock American performance cars. Those days are long gone now as America leads the world with the performance cars we are producing today, ESPECIALLY, when you consider our efficiency which translates to the MSRP’s they are able to sell their cars for. The Dodge Viper ACR took the world by storm and is already a legend at the Ring. If Aston Martin or Mclaren built the Dodge Viper ACR exactly like Dodge did, they would ask $400k for it. #GODBLESSAMERICA BTW, the 2017 Dodge Viper ACR ran the ring in 7:01 falling just shy of breaking 7 minutes. This was without the support of Dodge or FCA. This was 2 cars brought to Germany from America by private owners who lived this car. They had to do all the fundraising etc. had they had support from Dodge/FCA, there’s no doubt they would have broke 7:00 A legendary car…

    Hey Joe and Lori, and also the Raiti's Rides family, how are y'all doing today? 😃
    So the Dodge Viper is the V10 crazy death trap made by Dodge if you're not careful.
    Anyways the Dodge Viper ACR was always a crazy car, but this looks like to be a fourth gen ACR which have around 645 hp and a 6-speed transmission (oh, and casually 12 mpg).
    Ok besides the 12 mpg (and more plastic then a Kardashian) , it could go to 0-60 in around 3.5 seconds and have a extra big rear wing.
    But tbh you can tell that Joe is really happy about this review without watching the video completely.
    Anyways if you had to choose a "sports car" what would it be this Dodge Viper ACR, a other "sports car" or maybe the Dodge Challenger Hellcat Wide body ECT.
    (Btw the front corner looks like the Maserati Grand Turismo from 2008 and the 6th gen Chevrolet Corvette (2004-2013).
    "And like always on throttle 😎"

    What a truly glorious looking engine bay. Great review of a serious machine. We can clearly see that Dodge was also concerned with a great presentation of the engine bay. I def feel like this model calls to a particular type of driver...no nonsense...All About The Business. I've only ever driven I guess what would be considered a base model V10 viper but the exhaust had actual pipes that extended out further than this model, it was extremely raw. You really have to be an experienced manual trans driver to handle it safely. You really have to love the Viper to spend 100k though...to end up choosing it over the competition in '22...on the flipside who knows what the possible future value will be..it could one day be on display in a museum once EV's truly conquer the market.

    I’d buy that and hire you to drive it with me because I think it’d likely kill me. I just saw a like green one the other day but it looked rather filthy. Good? Bad? Who knows, but at least they use it. With your background, you’re the only UA-cam personality I could think of who I’d actually care see on a track.
