I agree, but i thought you could drive it a little spicyer since its the 5th gen. (I don‘t wanna sound bigheaded - but if you look at how he takes the corners, i think there is more potential. But i‘m also fully aware of the sheer power the viper so cornering speeds may be not as great)
It really wasn't their fault. They really loved that car, just a lot more people wanted a slow ass Corvette. Tsk tsk tsk. Those kinds of people are gay. Plus that V10 is more reliable than that LS V8.
Simply awesome! Great camera and mic work! It's nice to see an ACR actually being put to work doing what it was meant to do! TY for posting... I'm going to fire my Viper up now!
While the LFA may sound like a singing Angel, I LOVE THE DEMONIC NIGHTMARE sound that unapologetic Viper has, truly sounds like a Demon creeping up to silence the singing angel!
Wow, perfect example of my dream ACR, in every detail!!! And, since All Viper's are manuals, I know it has the only transmission that own. Amazing footage, sound, etc...Thank-You for not ruining it with music, as most, to nearly all car videos do. Man, WHAT A CAR!!! Truly one-of-a-kind🇺🇸!!!
the rain and some of those roads just having those quick sudden dips surely made the driver uneasy. I've never seen what seems like an entire town/city blocked for a hot lap so that was cool.
where are the koeniggseggs, lambos, ferraris, bugattis? do they do this? more are their owners not willing to drive theirs the way they should be? its like this viper is challenging those marques! what is the point of all power and handling if not enjoyed to the fullest?
Cat with a diphthong Wrong. That’s the whole reason the car didn’t do well in most peoples opinion. It went away for many years and came back with the same horsepower and performance as a 2009 ZR1. In many instances the ZR1 was a little bit quicker and faster. All other cars advance significantly. They should’ve had a supercharger standard with another 150 to 200 hp just like I said.
Viper ACR so you’re saying that it couldn’t keep up around a track with a car that was older and had the same power at roughly the same price point, and your main takeaway is that it needed more power? And then you have the huevos to just say “wrong” as though only your opinion is valid? First off, that’s a little dickish, and second, I’m sorry, I don’t buy that. Reviewers of the day didn’t bemoan the Viper’s power, they criticized its handling. The fact that it had a much larger contact patch for its tires and yet couldn’t generate the same lateral g forces as it’s competitor hints at a chassis problem rather than a power problem. Again, it could have done with more power, but I don’t think that’s why it underperformed compared to the ‘Vette. Honestly, I think it would have benefited from additional chassis tweaks rather than the brute force engineering that was applied to it (and was also part of its charm) as well as active aero rather than all that old-school, fixed-downforce aero that the ACR got. Can you imagine how much quicker the ACR would have been if could have had that downforce where it needed it and then gotten slippery again when required? Boggles the mind. And I say all this as someone who just picked up a Gen V Viper TA. I love the car, and it’s the most fun car I’ve owned (and I’ve been lucky to own a few), but power isn’t what’s holding it back.
Cat with a diphthong Again. In my opinion and many others, the return of the Dodge Viper 2013 was badly under-powered. It’s chassis and handling was phenomenal and the ACR elevated the bar. I’ve owned 5 Vipers, including a 2010 ACR. Aside from the fact the car is in need of a lot more horsepower, The Viper is a raw and rare car and should push the envelope. From a pure marketing standpoint, being the Viper is low production, raw, unforgiving.... it needed significantly more power to keep it relevant.
Viper ACR I think we’re going to just have to agree to disagree here. The viper had plenty of power for its day. I agree that it should have had maybe a squirt more, if only for marketing purposes but also to further delineate it from its Corvette rival. But the biggest problem it faced was a chassis problem. The ZR1 was posting better numbers across the board with a smaller tire contact patch, it was older, and it inspired more confidence in the drive for more average drivers and had higher limits than the Viper (until the ACR came along) for professionals to exploit. At least, stock. This was the opinion of most reviewers of the day as well as professional drivers. This was the failing of the resurgent snake: it failed to deliver the goods. Could 150-200 horsepower have helped there? Undoubtedly. But the main problem was the massive unused potential of that chassis. You can tune a Viper out of the box and, without adding any power, it will run away from a ZR1 on track. They just have such massive potential locked away in that chassis, and it didn’t really get used until the ACR (even the TA is frustratingly under-Utilizing it’s potential from the factory) but what hurt the ACR most was that on big tracks it just couldn’t make use of all that power, so it was slow on the straights. Active aero would have solved that. I do think that for their extreme ACR version, it was a mistake to go all in on the old-school downforce. It stuck the car in the corners, but it slapped away the power on the long straights, and on paper it should have been a power circuit car. Instead I think they should have either A). Gone full downforce but add a commensurate amount of horsepower or B). Gone the way of active aero to take full advantage of the Viper’s potential in both the twisties and the straights. Fact is that the Viper team knew what they were doing, and they prepped the engines to be able to have big power adders slapped on in the aftermarket. But they didn’t massage the chassis enough to make it as compelling as it needed to be on the market. It was always a niche car, and the niche pretty much evaporated as old boys and mid-life crisis sufferers all started buying big SUVs and trucks instead of sports cars. TL;DR: a variety of issues killed the Viper, but I still don’t think power was the stake through the heart you’re making it out to be. All that said, I’m looking at doing cams and head for mine 😈

The viper acr gotta be one of the meanest looking cars ever
pure v10
You are straddling something powerful, fast, agile. One miscalculation could spell disaster as it's actively trying to kill you.
@@SpikeRazzor It's like riding a rhinoceros...
And sounding too.
Some seriously pretty shots here. A+ camera work, like a videogame almost!
Thank you very much for that! We're lucky to have some amazing cars and scenery to work with!
The production quality is seriously insane
Nice drive club profile pic. Loved that game
Reminds me of that arcade racer on ps4 driveclub
My heart is bleeding i love the ACR 😍😍😍😍
You should really go see a doctor
@@spedseacanuck he has Viper disease, the only cure is to own an ACR!
@@TwentyTwoThirtyThree I also have the disease, except I’m only 14 so where the heck will I find one
@@Rappy104 buy a turbo Volvo 5 cylinder, they sound kinda like a Viper
Techically ur heart is always bleeding.
Unless... yeah...
Dude has balls for driving any viper like that in the rain

Theres not a car as beautiful and as amazing as an ACR Viper
This guy went through 4 seasons in 6 minutes
Omg my dream car is coming back omg! Fuck a GTR!! I want this.
Same
it brings me such joy seeing an american car in another country going around a TRACK
Best car and motor shame on Mopar and Dodge for killing off the viper!!!
They’re bringing it back in 2021

Unvelievable how this video IS PRODUCED. WOW. so much work. NICEEE!
That flyby @2:50....eargasm.
🔥🔥🥵🥵 This is better than any movie I've ever seen, while simultaneously being more relaxing than any asmr video ever made
This made my day. Thank you and awesome footage!!!
Just beautiful!!!! Awesome video!! The scenery is breath taking
this is the most beautiful thing i've watched all month.
the rain and some of those roads just having those quick sudden dips surely made the driver uneasy. I've never seen what seems like an entire town/city blocked for a hot lap so that was cool.
Incredible video! Nothing beats the mechanical symphony of a Viper's V10.
Never knew about this type of race event, looks like the driver went all out like a viper is supposed to be used, let sparks fly!
Such a beauty!💥
1:05 such an idle scene lol
2:51 For an odd-firing engine that sure sounded smooth
What a lucky driver.. amazing drive
beautiful.
What a masterpiece!
Amazing shots with an amazing car!
beautiful place, nice road and cool car
He was idling through the whole course
Art.
if there is a heaven, it's probly reliving shit like this as the driver
Best sound ever. I mean ever....
Beautiful video! Needs more views and likes!
Debatably the best sounding car ever!
Ragging a Viper in the rain,not for wimps....
One mistake and you’re dead lol
Amo el motor de esta belleza woo. A la velocidad q iba era 190km/h y en la montaña era 70km/h a 100km/h
X2 suena super bien 🤩🤩
still better than tiny engine gt black series
What a beast of a car. Great driving in the wet as well. 😅
❤🔥❤🔥surreal bro ❤🔥❤🔥the wing? Jawdrop
AcrE for the win
1:19 Holy shit!
sound fucking insane
This sounds better than lfa, so raw and natural
100% agree, the roar of it makes it feel more like an actual muscle car
Are you on crack?
Yes, the LFA sounds like a music instrument, this sound like a force of the nature
Monstro
2:51, just poetic...

Buster Dallas plenty of those have done the various Targas around Australia over the years. :)
Dodge Viper ACR's engine sound is the same as like a sound of JV's Dodge Viper SRT-10 in NFS Most Wanted bro :D
i just got eargasm
Insane that this is a road legal vehicle
If masculinity had a sound
That’s scary to drive in those wet conditions.
Bruh I feel like I’m watching a video game replay
Still better than the GT3 RS in terms of the looks and the way it handles.
5:46
One of the best sounding cars ever
America never have any of this cool stuff
This car is American…
@@beanapprentice1687 what are you talking about dude, this car is clearly indian
Peak American muscle v10 vs v8 ? V10
Like #400, for one of the best cars in the world
You better hear closely Forza Horizon🙃
It just needed about 150-200 more HP to match it's looks and track capabilities.
It could handle it, but I don’t think it needed it.

it’s crazy how this has such a higher displacement V10 at 8.4L but it sounds just like a second gen Gallardo or R8 which is 5.2L
First gen 5.0 gallardo, you mean… the 5.2’s sound shite compared to the 5.0
Not remotely similar sound if you've heard both in person. This is much deeper. It shakes your ankles as it passes.
