The ZR1's speed advantage is just because it has no spoiler, so adding something similar to the ACR's would take that away, like Refort said.

Sheeese! can the Viper driver nail the rev limiter just a FEW more times? It's a pickup truck engine, not a Ferrari !

You would think there should be a video out soon if it is true.

Magnussen never than the 7:22. That was a hoax that the blogosphere fell for hook, line, and sinker.

I think both of these cars are about the driver. Mero (the GM driver) has driven hundreds of laps around the ring and runs a7:26. Magnussen comes in and runs a 7:22. I don't know how many laps he ran but to take off 4 seconds is impressive.

Really sad to think that this might be one of the Viper's final fighting breathes.

The ACR weighs more than the zr1 and has less power and torque. It has a slower 0-60 time than the ZR1, 3.6 seconds vs. 3.3 seconds. I know the 1/4 mile for the Zr1, according to M/T is 11.2 seconds at 130.5 mph. Don't know about the ACR. However, the ACR is a better track car, and it beat the Zr1 at Nurinburg with a lap time of 7.22 seconds, vs. 7.26 seconds for the Zr1, setting a new record. Of course, these are all professional drivers.

don't forget about the person driving the ACR bouncing off the rev limiter in amazing amounts,so i can say that the ACR could have lost a few more seconds on its time for that.
