I don't know why you're an idiot. Maybe you have too many chromosomes, maybe there was hypoxia during birth. No one had anything bad to say about this car, it was your first post that you brought other marques into the topic. As for reading comprehension, I didn't say you mentioned a zonda r, but if you read the thread someone else did, so I was clarifying.

Put your money where your mouth is. 6'6" 260lbs. You can find me at a Houston cars and coffee meet. (and no that's not a threat, it's just saying if you doubt me I'm not hiding)

Guys I've know BDP for about 12+ years now. I'm more than confident in saying you've taken a few of his comments (most of which are factual, unless i'm missing something) the wrong way. He is a well-rounded enthusiast that likes all marquees. Sometimes this place is so f'ing serious it cracks me up. Everyone take a deep breath and realize we're all entitled to opinions on an OPEN forum such as this one. Really kills me seeing some of you being internet tough guys. The irony in that is I'm pretty sure that BDP would be able to tear nearly any members arms off and beat them with them LOL. Before anyone jumps my shit I said NEARLY.

Thread savitude with old run vid. Still waiting on the new one. Probably the most impressive thing about the ACR is that it'll hold well in excess of 1.5G in a turn on street tires, and generates some 1,200 lbs of downforce going flat out.
It's easy to see where the extra 10 seconds came from-- the driver here doesn't appear to be very familiar with the car, misses shifts, endlessly tags the limiter, etc.. probably used to a car with paddles.

Impressive, but not really since it's not a normal viper, it has the aerodynamics of a full race car and the car was driven years and years until this record was set by the Same driver (Tom Romeo Coronel) that set the record in 2008..
