How does that work? 20seconds!?

Do it Hani! I have always had a liking toward to Viper because it is soooo different from anything else out there. That massive truck engine is unique from anything offered here. Pity we don't get it here officially.

I think it's a cool car, and certainly takes a lot of finesse to drive fast. I don't think I've ever seen a Viper driven "smoothly" the way you'd see a Corvette or Porsche driven. They are a handful, but there is no doubting its performance. I remember when Paul Mumford won the OTC in a bone stock double-bubble GTS coupe back in '05 I think. It was one of the very few small-time triumphs that made national motorsports news.

With all that said, I'm not a Viper fan and don't care for them at all. Driving an ACR on the street is like using a blow-torch to light a candle, make sure you're smooth and delicate with the gas

I like the older gen more. But if I had a lot of money or wanted another muscle car besides a FGT or ZR1, then maybe. But there are many other cars I'd rather have out there.

Hell yeah!!
I think you're going to have a lot of fun with it. The car is not perfect but it makes your hart go crazy when you drive it to the limit.

Here's a great article about it.

Awesome car!

FGT -> ZR1 -> Camaro SS -> ACR

You want American Muscle car, but a FGT!
