Viper ACR sets 13 track records. 1:28.65 at MRLS
Congrats to Dodge! With a pushrod engine, steel chassis, rwd, front engine and manual transmission. Absolutely amazing, just shows how much tires and aero come into play.
Outstanding! http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars...track-records/ |
Impressive particularly in an age of DCTs, turbos and AWD. I believe the ACR is sold with Sport Cup 2 tires on it, a similarly sticky tire on the other cars mentioned would probably turn things around a bit. On that note this makes the Z07 package Z06 seem so much less impressive, though it is indeed another fast machine.

Kuhmo tires
The G5 ACR is sold with a specially developed Kuhmo tire that is said to be faster than "most racing tires." Yes, its a definite advantage over even the PSC2. But that's what kind of rubber it takes to handle the aero.
