If the stats add up, nothing will be able to touch it on the track in the right hands.

Agreed, normally, I would take a ZO6 or ZR1 over the Viper regardless, but this new incarnation looks to be very promising indeed.

Okay, that Viper owner should never be allowed on a track with other racers again.....although I'm thinking he learned his lesson after that one hopefully.

I heard the new ACR, with an additional 200lbs of roll cage, made it around Willow Springs 4 seconds faster than a new ZR1 mule. Not to mention it was a C6-R driver testing both, in hopes of proving the opposite.

I know the owner of the ACR, whos car was used in the track test....so I guess hearsay. Apparently, GM is being hush hush, and no video was released due to the outcome not being what they had hoped.

ACR and ZR1 are perfect to fight each other, just like EVO-STi or Nissan GT-R-911TT, Mustang-Camaro, etc...
