RWD, manual, naturally aspirated, non hybrid and minimal driving ads, im going to miss those kinda cars
Id rather drive without those

This is the only vehicle under $400k to do it in 7 min. And it’s less than a third of that price. It’s sad that these are no longer available. This was truly the end of driver built sports cars. RIP Viper, you will always be top dog in my book.
Not true at all. The Huracan Performante costs $280,000, the 911 GT3 RS "only" costs $189,000 and the Radical SR8 even costs $175,000...
@@SuperGeronimo999 Vipers usually cost ~$80k
Mainly cos Vipers are simple "if you're lucky, you may not die" type cars.
@@SuperGeronimo999 Huracan and GT3 are automatic cars with 7 gears, when you compare the ACR against the GT2 in slower circuit, the ACR beats it. The Radical is more a karting (legal for street use) than a proper car, same like Bac Mono or X-Bow
@@MarloSoBalJr Gen 1 viper are that, this Gen 5 have a lot of grip and aids to help.
@@FEGTTTSDH still not "the only vehicle under $400k to do it in 7 min"
The fact that this is a MANUAL, naturally aspirated V10 going only to the rear wheels is incredible. But if you take all that into consideration, then remember that this was just their warm up lap, this is phenomenal. How the hell Dom tamed the Viper, a manual RWD beast that bites your ass from the smallest imperfection in your drive, and got man and machine to work together to produce such a near flawless lap on his first try at the Nordschleife doesn't even process in my head. Props to you, my friend.
Wild_ _Toilet they've been testing their setups for a few days, it's useless😂😂
More pleasing sound than a current F1 car
Well, Dom is a pro on the Nordschleife. GT3 drivers on the Nordschleife are the best you can get to drive a car, even when it's a beast like the Viper
Here is what worries me, the roll bar they are installing is 70 pounds of extra weight. And Dominick is not a small driver. I know they want the bar so he can go balls to the wall, but you can see in the Le Man series GT added weight makes a huge difference.
Wild_ _Toilet the new Vipers aren't as twitchy and punchy as the older cars, they are much easier to drive.
Lol I love the taps on the steering wheel. "C'mon baby we got this "
He's tapping because he has AC/DC I've got BIG BALLS & Highway to HELL playing in his Helmet;-)
Atleast that's what I would be listening to while running this.LOL
6:53 It was such a beautiful moment! And let's not forget the fact that he did it while taking a turn at 276 km/h
I would've thought that he's desperate because he couldn't go faster that 275 due to the electronic restriction that the Vipers have but yeah, he did it while turning at that speed lol
Luis Torreón The viper ACR is limited to 275-276kph for aerodynamic reasons, since it generates an extreme amount of downforce
@@alexmustang8611 I don't understand if the wing produce that much of downforce why has it to be restricted?
The sound of this monster roaring down the track is insane
it's fine.
JohnS1000RR watch the penzoil with the viper if u loved this
Thats what bald eagles sound like 🇺🇸
You should try listening to Tesla Model S
It gurgles...
That was one the scariest and most thrilling things I've ever watched. One handed at over 250kmh through bends. Phenomenal
The driver is definitely no slouch, he's a more or less a former factory team driver for Porsche
Bonus points for a manual gearbox. And that biblical noise.
Vipers only come in manual.
@@troyandrade435yeah but so few cars nowadays do. That’s the point.
@ 4:15 he does the carousel with one hand on the wheel 😳
Thats easy carousel is very easy to Drive...
@@mariog.9541 I don't have actual track experience, but from hot lapping the shit out of it all the time on any racing game, both sim and arcade, it seems like the most important part of riding it is getting into it cleanly, if you go into it at a bad angle, it gets weird, but other then that its smooth sailing.
@@dboy2258 Nah carousel is very easy.
u gotta be joking
Gonads the size of footballs - that is not an easy car to slide around. Generating up to 1.8G's on some of the corners. Respect!
Got that right!
P Blunt I wish I had gonads the size of footballs
1.8 gs on street tires? Yea fucking right he was on racing slicks that don't count for shit put racing slicks on all the cars on the top 50 list and I bet they're times go up as well I bet this moves back on the list a bit further than like5th place
Prove it
nope, just these. www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Kumho&tireModel=Ecsta+V720+ACR
I think it was a great effort from a rwd front engine manual gearbox old brute like the viper. It's no awd electric assisted paddle shifted alien.
True that it is a drivers cars. The engagement of it is what makes it good. How can you feel like a mint driver when you have so many electronic aids to help you? You can hear this roar at speeds over 250, sounds like a damn turboprop jet!
T1000AX and it holds the world record too
T1000AX it's a true drivers car. You cannot not like the viper for its raw abilities

Badass!! Dam proud to have been a Designer on the very first ones, hired into Viper Project in May of 1989.
God bless you sir, for having a hand in building one of America's biggest middle fingers to the rest of the world!
The Viper has legendary status, thanks to you and the rest of the team in making this
*_You are fucking awesome. This is the best looking car that has ever been made._*
Thank you for helping produce one of my favorite dream cars bro🙏🏿💙
Owned a 1994 SRT10 and three 1997 GTS cars. Would LOVE to buy you a beer Sir!!!
120 mph at corners is insane, shows you how well built they are
The speedometer on screen is in kph, but 120 kph is still 75 mph, or normal highway speeds
@@omega1575 damn, that must feel like a ride to experience
@@dillanmistry he was actually going 130 around corners if you translate which is pretty insane. he was 200 kmh
@@fantasyvimmienskrrt7428 More reasons why it's always been my pfp, this car is a beast
This video looks like it's in fast forward through the corners 😂 absolutely insane
I'm a GM guy but the Viper's are sick cars
SHIFTY 416 same here...the T/A and the Acr are gorgeous!!!
?????????
Was proud of the ZL1's performance on the ring (GM fan too), but mad credit to the Viper here. Great to see it beating the European cars.
Alacorn I think you'll have to reconcider this statement after the 911 gt2 has set a laptime
Alacorn how is a 911 pure? It's another computer with wheels and an electronic steering rack. Ferrari F12 TDF, 812 Superfast and Laferrari are all brilliant driver cars. The 599 XX, FXX and FXX K are pure beasts on the racetrack
fell in love with the viper when i was 6. I never figured out why, but I just knew it was my favorite car ever. Now Im 30 and my opinion hasn't changed.
Most underrated supercar ever in existence
I agree because I have one
The one handed driving scares me , great effort, definitely sub 7 soon.
This viper just broke the record with a 7:01.3 lap time but shortly after was totaled due to a tire failure :/ driver, Lance Arnold, walked away without injuries.
Gustavo Cesare are you serious???
Tru Neumayer Yea one of them wrecked. They brought twin spec'd vipers but i dont believe it was the record car that crashed due to the tire
6:51 The driver wanted so much more top end speed, I felt this.
Three years later still the fastest manual transmission car around the Nurburgring and I can’t say that I’ve seen another driver go one handed through the carousel
Wow just wow. A bit of wet track and a practice lab too. Manual car. What a beast of a driver and car
You got that right!
2:40 - 2:49 one of the coolest sequences . Gives you an idea of how serious the brakes are & how much torque this thing got
Yes, that bastard wanted to fly but this driver's blood must be venom cos he was unphased
He absolutely drove the shit out of that car. That was amazing.
Anyone who says American cars don't handle needs to watch this video
Enthusiasts Garage this is probably one of the ONLY American cars that can handle. You have the dodge hellcat weighing over 5,000 lbs. you can’t track something like that
@@noblevengeance312 The Hellcat is made in true muscle car formula. It's not really meant to handle around a track and wasn't designed to so I can't really fault it for that.
Noble Vigilance RS sothe corvette can’t handle? How about the ZL1 1LE had a 7:14 lap time, what about the GT350? What about the Ford GT40? Shall I go on? There’s plenty of American cars that handle well, you just picked the only American car that’s fast that can’t handle
Turbo Cars and Fast Bikes there Are only few american cars that can set times like this, only the ZL1 1LE, ZR1 and Z06, and the GT500 maybe, not many american cars set these times compared to the more exquisite Germans, who laugh at the Americans as they are a considerable joke at this point 😂
Noble Vigilance RS good god, I just named a ton of cars that all shit on most German cars according to the ring times. You’re just being ignorant at this point.
I was watching Misha in one of these a few days ago and the owner driving made it look slow. With this dude driving in full send mode the car is an absolute animal.
this was just the warm up, couldn't go full send the tire exploded
The Viper has been my dream car since the first Gran Turismo, please don't stop building this anomaly.
Despite the great lap time, it seems it had more to break sub 7's; outstanding driving and I applaud the fan clubs for working to create this. The ACR down force is so impressive that it couldn't pass the 280km mark. I'm sure another video will happen but this made it clear as a "track record shattering force" to be reckoned with.... Great Job! Mopar or No car!!!!
I watched the site that shows the last version of the Viper that was powerful (195 MPH) without the Aero package downforce. And at exactly the same spot turning the corner to the main straight, the older Viper was 12 seconds down on the 2016 Viper.It ran a 7:12, so it picked up 3 seconds on the long straight.I think in the long run being 20 MPH slower with the Aero package works out fine.
Not to nit pick but it did break 280 for a second or two
Hands down one of the best north loop laps I've seen. Remember this is a naturally aspirated, fixed aero, h-pattern manual machine. No bullshit technology. Just the driver and the machine. Absolutely love it. The best part would be the fist pump from the driver when he realises he nailed the fox hole section. :)
The driver cornering with one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the shifter reminded me of the old days of f1. What a madlad
The viper will always and forever be my favorite car. Ever since I was a little kid I have dreamed of owning one and being able to do stuff like this with it. Such a beautiful and insane machine.
As an amateur open track day event goer in my girly s2000, this video utterly gave me chills. The way the driver is fighting the steering wheel to keep control of this beast is incredible! Truly remarkable skills at hand here. This is what separates the amateurs (me) from the pros. I truly hope they beat the record. The Viper is such an analog car with a manual and it can still beat cars 4 times it's price with electronic aids. I can't wait to see the next run.
Soren Lausen I'll gladly take your girly S2000 out of your hands
Compared to the Viper it is. I'll keep my s2000 haha!
there's a reason why Japanese tsukuba time attackers have such bold aero and obviously has been tuned out their car's parts
Not a huge fan of Dodge or the Viper but this is one amazing machine and one HELL of a driver!
Gotta give credit when its due!
The graphics on this game are nice!
KungFu909 are u fucking kidding me
also, sound is so realistic! ^^
The driver model tho... They even made him give love taps on the wheel
real racing 3
It's way ahead of its time
I love hearing Vipers redline. Vipers love being at redline! Great driving, hope you guys get another crack at it! Long live the Viper!
I'm surprised at how much he keeps his hand on the shifter.
Only pussies drive a car with paddles
Peter House - I meant that he took his hand off too often. You only need to take it off to shift. His turns would have been smoother had he had both hands on the wheel except to shift.
The older Vipers yes, but this version is so much smoother, . Look at some of his turns, he knows when to use two hands and which not. He knows this track like the back of his hand. Everything went against them. Rained the whole time until the lap. They had to go out on a green track, right after a rain with no rubber put down yet.No time with the car. He will knock a few seconds of that.
No, neurologically speaking a person is WAY smoother with just one hand on the wheel, this two hands on the wheel thing comes from when cars didn't have power steering, so a person needed both arms to control the steering wheel. Its much easier to use your arms independently from each other then try to make both arms do the same thing smoothly due to the fact human arms are not equal in strength so the brain has to compensate to replicate the motion that the other arm is doing and when you factor in that human arms do not have 1/10 the fine motor control as say your fingers its almost cretin that one arm is not perfectly synced up with the other one thus making steering corrections jerky or less smooth.
Frank Leary, from my own experience and what I've learned from other racers is that two hands on the wheel is definitely smoother. When you have both hands on the wheel they shouldn't necessarily be doing exactly the same thing. Often one hand is pulling the opposite direction as the other (just a little bit) to make your turn more gradual and less jerky. Also, with two hands you are less likely to be disturbed by bumps and g-forces. I have instructed a fair amount and I have never seen anyone be smoother with one hand than with two.
So satisfying to watch someone that actually knows how to drive this car 🤤
This video has left me so hyped.
I like to hear that, real talk!
05:25 holy moly, when the steering wheel just goes from left to right ... Jesus that dude got balls of stell taming that v10
Amazing car and so glad to see it shatter records on its last year of production. Cant wait to see the next track day if they can break 6s. Rip viper 1992-2017
This was the same driver that ran the 7:12.13 with the OLD ACR. He is also the ALMS GTS-R Viper driver for SRT. In his post on Facebook he says this ACR can go 3-4 sec faster than it did.
This is the definition of "giving her all she's got"
Awesome Job filming this
ViperVinni thank you. The latest GoPro Hero 5 & Session 5 worked wonders for this effort.
FoxProFilms please mount gopro on inside of side window
I did mount an angle to the side window looking inside. I chose to use the helmet cam instead - a very unique view of Dominik's drive.
so you used Hero5 as frontcam .. and session for helmet? .. and the datastuff from RN was streched from 720p to 1080p? .. looks sharp! ;)
You got it! I had 2 more camera angles, but this layout did the job without being too cluttered. The helmet cam was way better than I expected it to be.
Unfortunate what happened to the car. The Tire explosion and all. I think if that didn’t happen, this car could have broker into 6 minutes. Regardless, the record is has now just goes to show you that active aero, all wheel drive, crazy auto transmissions and electronic aids doesn’t always mean you have the best car. Front engine, rear drive and manual trans that’s all you need. 13 track records speaks a lot. This track will be owned by the viper soon enough. High end supercars my ass!
Huracan - not a supercar - almost 10 seconds faster. Be quiet. 488 Pista - not a supercar - 1 second faster. Be quiet.
@@thert.hon.thelordnicholson7261 According to the official track times, the 488 Pista is not ahead of the Viper - blow me. Also, the Huracan is definitely a supercar. Features dual clutch transmission, active aero, aluminum and carbon fiber chassis, along with other supercar features. Blow me.
nurburgringlaptimes.com/lap-times-top-100/
Here's a link to the official track times in case you get lost. Blow me.
@@MetalGearHead lmfao pwn'd
Thomas Cat imagine calling a 488 pista and a huracan “not supercar”
GT2RS, nothing can get close to that
The fact that it's a rwd stick shift is CRAZY. At that speed I wouldn't wanna take my hand off the wheel. Still holds the record for the fastest stick shift around the ring, that driver is a mad man
Good run guys!! Just pure badass driving skills 👍👏 cant wait till August when you guys return
That engine sound...PURE PRIMAL.
Robert Peach V8EATR
One of the fastest most competent factory produced track ready cars ever. And this driver is perhaps even better than the machine he's driving
Everybody saying how good the car is. But I'd appreciate the pilot! Real man with steel balls!
this man just about tamed the viper 😢😢😢 im so dam happy
Please tell me this won't be their last attempt!
This is just the beginning. lollllll
no it wont!
Exoticars19 Now it is This junk box Crashed LOL
Undoubtedly one of the best cars in the world today. But sadly, it wasnt the fastest. Huracan Performante did it faster. Look here: czcams.com/video/6ULSUcERlQQ/video.html
M773 the koenigsegg one:1 is still a better race car around tracks than the viper. You should watch the eggs time on Spa. It crushed the mclarens time.
Definitely a nice send off for the Viper. I really appreciate the effort some people put into making this happen.
the sound of this car is just insane. genuinely brings a tear to my eye.
650hp 8.4L V10 in the front. Rear-wheel drive. 6-speed manual transmission. Taking curves at 120+mph. Balls of titanium. This guy is amazing.
They only manged to do 1 proper hot lap, they are just warming up.
How do you know that?
Everyone who lives next to the nurburg knows...
'tis true. We only managed to get 1 lap in due to weather. More laps to come in the near future.
I worry about the weight of the roll bar they are putting in. It's good for safety obviously, but it also weighs 68 pounds. Dominick is not a small driver either, I guess with the bar he can go more balls to the walls without killing himself.
1:58 I NEED MORE POWER!!!
6:53 I NEED EVEN MORE !!!!!!
Its got enough power, hence why he posted a 7:03. More seat time and sub 7 next month.
too much down force
So how much down force would you recommend?
if you guys are asking why he is doing 275kmh in the long straight with 650hp when I did 302kmh with 530hp , the reason is because the car has " a lot " of downforce if you prefer. I did not say it like I knew what downforce they should use
This is the greatest lap I've ever watched!
ya same
This is the best lap I've seen in a long time.
Now, THAT was FULL SEND
Watching those g’s bounce up to the 2’s is just nuts considering this car is based off a sub $100k (US) street car. My ultimate dream car.
That was an absolutely savage run. Thank you for the opportunity to watch :)
Coming back to these videos a few years later, I can't help but be sad. I wish they had gotten it. One of the most epic production cars ever made, just missing the mark to keep to leave it in history books among the best ever. ❤
Insane, Dom is THE Viper tamer ;-)
i loved when he would get into the car back when viper had a team racing. The guy is a rocket
Actually he was one of the SRT factory driver and rode the real GTS-R a few years ago.
It's not like these new Vipers are like the old ones. Not saying they wont bite, just saying they wont bite for touching them lol.
He uses one hand on left hand turns and both on right turns. Whatever works. I could see how that could be faster to shift. Understeer off those corners were taking some time, I timed where he gained and lost compared to other cars. The first and fastest part of the track he's just a couple seconds up on Gen 2 Viper, but the second twisting part it gained 8 seconds. Thats why it has broken so many records by huge margins on slow tracks. It's braking and cornering are spot on. Top speed is sacrificed for down force.
Janusha
That's because there are still lots of Americans who have this false notion that American cars aren't good, compared to their Europeans counterparts.
Man!!!...In-friggin-Tense!!!...I literally worked up a sweat watching this run! :D
Thanks for watching!
That sound is amazing!!!
this is and will forever be the meanest fastest "analog" car to ever exist! a pure unflitered drivers car
WOW, that was amazing to watch! With that aero kit there's virtually 0 understeer, the lateral transitions are instant and on point holy crap.
Great video. I knew this car would be fast but that's an unbelievable time for a manual rear wheel drive! Makes me wish more vipers were on the way.
This things truly shines when cornering at high speeds. No other car I’ve seen on this track in video gives me the same sense of “glued to the road like watching this thing speed down the track does... insane!
this is by far the most amazing thing i have ever seen on the Nordschleife. Dominik Farnbacher, you're a god !
agree with a lot of you. this guy drove it better than i could but there are seconds on the table with a few of those minor mistakes. a 6:59 should be easy with enough practice
just think of the huracan performante, NA V10 similar weight and viper is more powerful. If only they offered a limited ED with a DCT lol...but this car can come close to the lambo especially if they use the same tires and the viper driver gets a bit more time on the ring.
What are you talking about? Viper is UNDERPOWERED and has a top speed of 177 MPH because of the massive wing. Not to mention automatic. One is over a million dollars, one is 120,000 dollars. I is a manual, with front engine rear wheel drive. Ford GT is the so called big money American car, and it won Le Man first time. Corvette won Le Mans 6 times. Lambo......Hmm?
vin russo Porsche won Lemans 100 times what's your point
vin russo the lambo costs 300k $ not one million 🙈 and i don't get your point with le mans either...
the overall mid engine awd concept of the lambo is faster than the viper that's fact because of physics
And those racing slicks he's got on the car yea but how many production cars come with racing slicks? None this lap don't count for shit
The most intense thing I've seen on this track. Rear wheel drive, manual transmission and pulling insane lateral Gs. I know some all wheel drive, computer aided cars that beat it, but it will never be the same....
Man, navigating those corners one handed at speed while nailing every shift. Crazy driving skills
I know modern hyper-cars are great, but the sheer brute force and old school direct driver engagement of this machine will be missed.
Well done Dominik Farnbache! You handled business! WOW! The 2017 Viper ACR is a HIGHLY underappreciated supercar! Thank for the video and thank you team Viper for making such an amazing car. Too bad people did not reward this car with sales but for sure this car will be appreciated as a modern classic and I have no doubt will only appreciate in value over time.
Of any sports car/supercar, the ACR is the one I would choose if I could choose any car to spend a full day on the track with. Any track really, but especially one with medium to high speed corners to make use of the brilliant aero, but really, even just a small technical circuit where I can have fun with that manual gearbox and sweet V10 power delivery out of hairpins. I wish more amazing cars of this caliber had manual transmissions, while there is a LOT I love about the ACR, that is the deciding factor. if they made a 488 or 720S with a manual gearbox, it may inch the ACR out
Jeezus that was epic!! Balls to the wall driver, loved watching it. Sounds amazing too.
My mind is blown...I'm sweaty from watching this! Incredible!
Awesome! Congrats!
Nice warm up run! This is definitely a 918 killer!
Just plain awesome! And... what a sound!!
Strong moves for the snake. Though ...@ 2:34 you could see the effort handling the car around the track. Love the roaring sound and the simplicity on its raw power.
congrats for this very good first shoot ! =) !!!
Old video but the entry speed for some corners are just mind bending!
Sounds amazing, looks like a handful.
Take a moment to admire this V10 8.4 liter naturally aspirated engine with its displacement and THE PHILOSOPHY behind this car and how it achieved this time by BRUTE FORCE and AERO!
Listen to this
Damn thats a nice sound 🔥🔥
He missed 2 and 3 gears on 3 differents corners, i think it will do a sub7 in next month .
Viny F.A I heard they'll retry this week.
3 week from the video
the car isnt tunned... i guess they can lift a little downforce from it to gain some speed on the straights... looks like it hitted a brick wall on the 270km/h... the other nder 7s go over 300 on a couple of parts of the track... yet, viper is going with real tires on the next try...
The whole point of having 2000 pounds of downforce, is to use it. I agree this is a fast track which actually hurts this package. if you see some of the track records from this car, the faster tracks were closer, as the twisting circuits they were broken by 5 seconds on one track.
yeah, I have the same transmission and it is not easy to find your gear. I am amazed that anyone would try to race with it but I guess they are making a point.
Amazing v10 sound !
And Great driver , respect !
Driver is just insane, amount of corrections and body of the car stays planted. INSANE. GJ man. Pure skill.
This car is pure craziness
iMiguelAOG Viper is a real man...no bullshit...steering wheel and a shifter....and a big fuck you if you don't like it!!
I don't know what to think of this Viper's run. The driver didn't always use both hands on the wheel and this shows the stability of the car. It's such a fast car around the track that I am blown away. I've always loved the Viper and this is another reason why.
Damn if you can drive a viper this good you deserve a medal and special license. Beautiful driving in a beautiful car
That was sooo bad ass I had to watch it twice!!!!!!!!!Wow it takes a true driver to tame the viper and he did so!!!! Great Lap!!! One of the best at the ring I’ve seen in a while as in “a true drive” man synced up with machine to create a great opportunity and he cashed in on a Bomb Lap!!!!! I wish I had Grand Turismo because I’d be trying to beat his lap all week probably!!!!!!!!!
Never get old. Long live the Viper.
The downforce is so apparent, some of the corners he was accelerating through were mind blowing
Simply awesome
Two words: MAN & MACHINE. Perfect!
Good Bye my friend the American exotic you will be missed but hopefully one day you may return to grace us with your presence once again.
Fantastic Car and Driver!
Johnny Skillz over here showing us how its done! impressive sir 🤜🤛
Wow some dicey moments over the kerbs! did not look easy, big respect
