Dodge brings back Viper ASR

Dodge is bringing back its street legal track car after a 7 year absence and they mean business. The new Viper ACR is meaner than ever and as with any Viper, needs to be handled with care.

In 1999 Dodge introduced the Dodge Viper ACR (American Club Racer) after noticing the success of the Neon ACR. The overall deisgn was basically the same as a normal Viper with a few key differences. They added about 10 horsepower by applying a K&N Air Filter and dropped 60 lbs by removing the audio components, air conditioning and fog lamps(which were replaced by brake cooling ducts). Dodge also threw in a few extra badges and decals so everyone would know you had an ACR.

The 2008 Viper ACR will make its debut at the LA Auto Show next week. Under the hood will be the standard all aluminum 8.4 liter V10. It will produce close to 600 horsepower to the rear wheels and over 550 ft-lbs of torque. The package will also bring some aero-upgrades as well as suspension adjustments to cope with the 1.5g cornering is it said to produce.
