pure raw drivers car - correct
Forget the ACR was made only for the Ring (and perfomed great), very strict car.
All the cars i mentioned above maybe look different but are all high performance cars and can be compared. Viper just cant keep up with them and you know it. It can be fun and enjoyable fast on straight line no doubt about that, but nothing more
Dude you are clueless and obviously know nothing about these cars, your reply just proved that lol. Vipers only for straight line? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA . You do know there are owners even on this board of both marques and have commented how good the Viper handles, including a GT2 owner.

razor sharp handling - terrible, not even ESP Awwww poor baby, you mean your not man enough to drive a true, raw drivers car, you know the way a sports car should be with no gizmo's to help??

brutal power -useless without grip, only for donuts. Obviously you've never been within 10ft of a track or road course. Oh yeh if you didn't know the GT2 has traction problems as well, and the ZR1, any high power rwd car does. Are you kidding me???? lol

ACR only made for the Ring? Dude seriously, are you 12? We have owners that almost daily drive those cars and have taken them on cross country treks no problem. And ran at courses through out the states. And what'd you know, guess who dominated? Even a stock Viper will ***** slap $$$$ exotics in the hands of a cable driver on road courses, come to the states and to any track and you can see it happen. And BTW as a little tid bit of info, the Viper was never developed for the Ring, they brought it out, ran it, went home. They didn't even setup the suspension for the Ring the 1st time, why do you think it was bottoming out, they didn't have day's on end to test and tweak like others, they were on a strict schedule.

Οκ guys if you wanna upgrade to a Viper its ok, go ahead.
For me that im not that expert i should stick to a 996TT...
However from all these people here on the forum talking about manly driving i doubt if anybody had push a Viper to its limits on a track (except ps3).
My best experience was 3 days tracking an LP670 and a 458 Italia and i can tell that couldn't keep up with an E92 M3 driven by an expert race car driver, smoking his Cup tyres and have them changed several times during the daily event. If you are better on this with a Viper or whatever, my apologies guys, forgive my ignorance

When I had my 01' I raced all the time primarily at Sebring eating P-cars and F-cars alive. Now we all race in PS3? You don't know when to stop making yourself look foolish. I don't know if it's the cultural difference and your having a hard time coming across correctly, or your trolling which it seems you are by posting these vids and making completely dumb statements with no basis....but I'm done. Carry on.

If it is the fact that b/c of the cultural difference your not coming across correctly, then I apologize if I sound abrupt with you.

ZR1 is a great sportscar so can't fault someone for choosing it over another sportscar.

If I had to choose one of those cars in the vid I think I'd go with the Benz. Just look at it and it's rare. Love the sound it makes eventhough it's the slowest of the four.

I saw a tuner in Canada offering a shock-spring package instead of leaf spring system on Z06. I wonder if this could make the car respond more progressively, under pressure.
