2010 Dodge Viper ACR – Record Time

Dodge Viper made a new record of warnings in November at Laguna Seca Raceway. 2010 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR (American Club Racer) will be piloted by Chris Winkler 1:33:915 noted Motech as recorded by data recorder inside the vehicle approximately 2.238-mile, 11-turn course that broke the previous record.

New for the 2010 model year is a shorter fifth gear ratio (changing from 0.74 to 0.80) for improved high-speed acceleration and higher straightaway speeds. This improvement is a direct result of SRT’s experience at the 12.9-mile Nurburgring Nordschleife circuit in Germany where during the lap-record run in 2008, it was found that a revised gear ratio would have resulted in a higher speed capability and potentially a shorter elapsed time.

The Dodge Viper is going into the final year of production for the current-generation model. Approximately 500 Vipers will be produced in 2010. Powered by the venerable 8.4-liter, V-10 engine with 600 horsepower and 560 lb.-ft. of torque, the Dodge Viper ACR continues to offer extreme performance, including 0-60 mph acceleration in less than 4 seconds, quarter-mile time in the mid 11-second range and 0-100-0 mph in 11 seconds flat.
