Report: Dodge Debuts 640-hp Viper ACR-X to Run in New Viper Cup Spec Series : Auto News

Quote:

In an effort to keep the Viper name alive after the iconic sports car is discontinued next year, Dodge has announced the introduction of the 2010 Viper SRT10 ACR-X track car, while simultaneously launching a new Dodge Viper Cup spec series.
The Viper ACR-X is a combination of the ACR street-legal but track capable machine, with the track-only Competition Coupe to come up with the ideal club racer. Unfortunately, it’s not street legal.
Under the long hood, the ACR-X retains the Viper’s 8.4-liter V10 engine, but power gets a 40-hp boost to 640-hp thanks to a less restrictive exhaust setup. Additional modifications incldue a track-tuned suspension, a curb weight that has been cut by 160 lbs and several aerodynamic enhancements. A roll cage, fuel cell and race seats complete the package for racing in the SCCA and NASA Viper Racing League. Pricing is set at $110,000.
Recently Dodge made headlines when it introduced an updated ACR model for 2010, which reclaimed the Laguna Seca track record at 1:33.915. The ACR-X was also out testing at Laguna Seca recently and bested the street car’s time by almost three seconds.
The car will be the spec model in the new Dodge Viper Spec series that will begin in July 9th at Virginia International Raceway.

You were only about 4 sec slower with about 1/5 the HP and slicks that were almost as good as a set of R888's

Challenge Viper to race the Exige and then race on the Mini course.

What is the weight of the car now? The article mentioned a 160 lb weight loss (nice!), but what's the final weight?

The engines in these cars make scary noises at full throttle... the only car that I can remember ever momentarily backing off the throttle out of a feeling of fear!

MadMan Markiss · 06-23-2010, 10:04 AM

Weight specs for the '09 version were 3400lb. Then minus 160lb, would give it around the 3240lb range.

kverges · 06-23-2010, 01:49 PM

Race weight with driver is 3480 lb
