    The fact that this is a MANUAL, naturally aspirated V10 going only to the rear wheels is incredible. But if you take all that into consideration, then remember that this was just their warm up lap, this is phenomenal. How the hell Dom tamed the Viper, a manual RWD beast that bites your ass from the smallest imperfection in your drive, and got man and machine to work together to produce such a near flawless lap on his first try at the Nordschleife doesn't even process in my head. Props to you, my friend.

And at exactly the same spot turning the corner to the main straight, the older Viper was 12 seconds down on the 2016 Viper.It ran a 7:12, so it picked up 3 seconds on the long straight.I think in the long run being 20 MPH slower with the Aero package works out fine.

      Peter House - I meant that he took his hand off too often. You only need to take it off to shift. His turns would have been smoother had he had both hands on the wheel except to shift.

    • @vinrusso821
      @vinrusso821 7 років тому +28

      The older Vipers yes, but this version is so much smoother, . Look at some of his turns, he knows when to use two hands and which not. He knows this track like the back of his hand. Everything went against them. Rained the whole time until the lap. They had to go out on a green track, right after a rain with no rubber put down yet.No time with the car. He will knock a few seconds of that.

    • @eaglefat9398
      @eaglefat9398 7 років тому +10

      No, neurologically speaking a person is WAY smoother with just one hand on the wheel, this two hands on the wheel thing comes from when cars didn't have power steering, so a person needed both arms to control the steering wheel. Its much easier to use your arms independently from each other then try to make both arms do the same thing smoothly due to the fact human arms are not equal in strength so the brain has to compensate to replicate the motion that the other arm is doing and when you factor in that human arms do not have 1/10 the fine motor control as say your fingers its almost cretin that one arm is not perfectly synced up with the other one thus making steering corrections jerky or less smooth.

    • @AndrewMalkin
      @AndrewMalkin 7 років тому +25

      Frank Leary, from my own experience and what I've learned from other racers is that two hands on the wheel is definitely smoother. When you have both hands on the wheel they shouldn't necessarily be doing exactly the same thing. Often one hand is pulling the opposite direction as the other (just a little bit) to make your turn more gradual and less jerky. Also, with two hands you are less likely to be disturbed by bumps and g-forces. I have instructed a fair amount and I have never seen anyone be smoother with one hand than with two.

      the car isnt tunned... i guess they can lift a little downforce from it to gain some speed on the straights... looks like it hitted a brick wall on the 270km/h... the other nder 7s go over 300 on a couple of parts of the track... yet, viper is going with real tires on the next try...

    • @vinrusso821
      @vinrusso821 7 років тому +2

      The whole point of having 2000 pounds of downforce, is to use it. I agree this is a fast track which actually hurts this package. if you see some of the track records from this car, the faster tracks were closer, as the twisting circuits they were broken by 5 seconds on one track.

      For the 25 people who liked your comment, and for you too:
      1. 10th best lap record (though at your time of comment 1.5 years ago that was probably accurate + the only thing you say that was accurate)
      2. None of the cars in the list above the Viper ACR cost anywhere close to 2 million (in USD - unless you were talking in roubles, my friend). The most expensive there, now or in 2017, would be Porsche 918 ($845,000). You can find Radical SR8s (two of which are faster than the ACR around the 'ring) for around the same price as a brand new ACR. I have no idea where you have imagined this list of $2million cars, that's completely false.
      3. There are NO LeMans race cars in the laptime ranking - assuming you are referring to the Radical SR8 and SR8LM, both of which are faster (and around the same price, 2nd-hand ;) ), it should be pointed out that these are completely road legal production sportscars, neither of which are LMP/LM1/LM2/LMGTE etc etc cars. ROAD LEGAL. PRODUCTION. So again, you are giving completely false representation. Most of the cars that are faster are not "extreme aero package" special edition cars like the ACR either.

      He uses one hand on left hand turns and both on right turns. Whatever works. I could see how that could be faster to shift. Understeer off those corners were taking some time, I timed where he gained and lost compared to other cars. The first and fastest part of the track he's just a couple seconds up on Gen 2 Viper, but the second twisting part it gained 8 seconds. Thats why it has broken so many records by huge margins on slow tracks. It's braking and cornering are spot on. Top speed is sacrificed for down force.

    Does anyone know why he double tapped the steering wheel with his fist at 2:00 minutes? Almost seemed perhaps a timing exercise? Perhaps a braking point?

    There were a LOT of driver errors and mistakes like it was just a hot lap. It takes serious balls to drive a viper let alone this one but i still say run it again. Especially with how many have caught up on the board in the last 3 years

    7:01.3 is the official time. Not under 7 min but still very good for a bone stock car, the other manufacturers use modified hyper car to get under 7 min. I am satisfied with that result. The only thing stopping this beast from going under 7min is better tires, more money and time (support from Dodge would be nice too).

      Da,Taper this ACR didnt crash it was a another car they brought. They had 2 of the same exact specs but it was the 1st car that wrecked i believe. Still cant believe an ACR was lost due to tire failure.

      Oh look, another one :D There ARE NO HYPERCARS in the list above the Viper ACR. They are either production sports cars or production supercars - so exactly the same category as the Vipers. As for modifications, that's exactly what the ACR is no? It's a highly modified Viper, you absolute joker. Any manufacturer running a lap is going to strip out some weight, maybe add an aero package, which is exactly what the ACR is. Please base your statements on fact and not blindly-patriotic hyperbole.
