My firstpet "snake" 2010 ACR

Realistically comparing times at the ring is pretty much useless. Every manufacturer has been busted at different times for being full of crap with the cars they take there. Every thing from the GTR's tires, to the Corvette full roll cage that was "for safety only and in no way stiffened the chassis", to even Porsche and BMW showing up with factory racing parts are cars and calling them "stock".
If you want to know how quick something is in the real world you have to go to a track day and watch them go around. It is a much more accurate measuring stick than what a company will do out of sight of the public while keeping the stop watches themselves.

Only street legal Porsche that has beaten the older 09 ACR's time at the Ring was the new GT2 RS which did 7:18 at the Ring. However the 2010 ACR should at the very least match that with the new gearing and aero tweaks. If you saw the old vid of the ACR you would see loads of areas where a lot of time could have been gained had the car been set up for the Ring like most of the cars that have great Ring times. I highly doubt the 2010 ACR can come anywhere close to the Zonda's 6:47 time but I do believe it can get to the Gumperts 7:11 time.
The GT3 may have a more telepathic handling than most any other street/track car from what Ive read from owners and mags but it would get cremated by an ACR on any track. GT3 nor GT2 is in the performance league of an ACR roadcoursewise. Only the new GT2 RS can realistically run with or beat the ACR. So if Porsche is your passion save up for that GT2 RS. It will kill an ACR on the highway as it has much less downforce but on a roadcourse it will have its hands full with an ACR.
OP beautiful color combo....Please post more pics when you get it. +1 on seeing SRT take the 2010 ACR to the Ring.
