Seeing how giddy and excited Thomas was over the lap time, you could feel that he was still running off the high of the adrenaline rush from pushing this beautiful machine.

Thomas's excitement after the hotlap was absolutely electric and palpable, and totally makes me keep the acr up at the top of my dream car list.

@Ishaan Tiwari TV shows cost way more money to put out meaning producers take less risk and ultimately just stick to what they know works. Independent stuff like this is more unique, happy to take risk as they can stick it on KZread without waiting for a network to agree it and schedule it. In the UK, there is hardly any motoring shows on TV worth watching, more so worth waiting a week for the next show. Top Gear is now fully awful. An hour of 2 idiots and an excited driver playing silly buggers in old bangers. You get 4 episodes then a years wait for the next series. Meanwhile creative content like this showcases real cars interesting reviews and in a lot of cases, pretty decent production values. I could spend an entire evening watching great videos on KZread every night of the week. Or 1 hour of crappy top gear once a weeks 4 times then a year off.

It's hard to understand. An 8 liter NA engine must be super heavy for the power it puts out. Another car with a smaller, lighter, but turbo/supercharged engine and with same kind of crazy aero should be able to put out the same amount of power and beat the Viper lap times by weight alone.... Just nobody else bothered to put that crazy aero on their consumer market cars. Sure now we got GT2/3 RS and the like, but it's remarkable this beast of an engine can be thrown around a track this fast and got to set lap records. And all that for less price than a GTR Nismo - half the price of what the performance suggests.

@@Erafune You're ignorant to real engine dynamics as you've clearly never built anything in your life. Or if you did, it was simple bolt--on's. The V10 in the Viper isn't heavy at all. It is very light and smaller than a HEMI. The engine is also front-mid-engine. Something else not mentioned in this video. The V10 is extremely durable and well made. Stock bottom end with twin-turbos hits over 2k HP reliable. Look up Kratos and Juggernaut. Top of the food chain with no disputes on that fact. The main point here is that the V10 powercurve and massive torque allows for it to fully utilize the down force and massively wide rear tires.

I really love the viper just by the design and the data of the technical details. A great review of this awesome car, thank you so much guys.

I'm glad you guys got to drive this. The Dodge Viper ACR is the most aggressive and menacing car to ever come out of the USA. It is also the most capable. I've had the privilege of driving a few exotics and the ACR is hands down the most intense car I've ever been in. It is a true wolf in wolf's clothing. It's an absolute monster. You guys did it justice. Well done.

There is no match for the aero on the Viper even though the GT2 has better acceleration with its 700hp and less aero. At the Thunderhill straight, I was 144 mph braking into turn 1 in the ACR, and the GT2 was 151 mph+, and I wasn't even driving it like it could have been. As for a GT3, I pass them regularly in the ACR at the track, even with very accomplished drivers.

Epic analogy. Or was that a metaphor? Epic!

Lap times are made in the curves. This thing is insane. What a pleasurable view.

Funny thing is that the viper acr only hit 7:01 around the nurburgring is because of wet conditions and other things on the track so it actually has the capability to do under 7 minutes STOCK

It was explained to me before that the Early Vipers were capable of amazing track times. It just took a professional driver to get them. The rear end always wanted to come out. They told me it was just not a very good beginner car on the track. While I wouldn't call it beginner friendly, the ACR is definitely in a league of it's own.

i see a lot of people complaining abt no intro, this is a track series episode, they don't do intros for them.

The concept of the car was originally V8 until Shelby said "f*ck it add 2 more cylinders". So it took 2 more cylinder to haul even more ass than production supercars around the world. Maybe not that hurt, but still gonna leave a mark for a while after automobile electricfication.

@@donnycorn3086 As cool as that story sounds, it couldn't be farther from the truth. In reality, Shelby *really* wanted this car to be a V8, in order to be a true successor to the Cobra. However, back in the 90's, the only V8 that Chrysler was producing was the Magnum V8 for the trucks, and those were horrible on power. The only engine that made decent power was the Magnum V10, so they chose it to be the base for the Viper V10.
