2008 Viper ACR
The 2008 Dodge Viper ACR has been revealed ahead of its Los Angeles Auto Show debut on the cover of the November 12th issue of AutoWeek. Representing the first ACR Viper since 1999, the newest American Club Racer version will shed about 40 pounds through the use of lighter wheels, street-legal Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires and a new two-piece Stoptech brake system.
The magazine also outlines an available "hard core" package that shaves an addition 40 pounds from the ACR's curb weight by deleting the audio system, underhood sound deadening material and trunk carpeting. Door panels are also replaced with carbon fiber and a lap timer can added where the audio system usually resides.
In addition to just making the Viper lighter, the ACR package also includes an adjustable suspension, a new front anti-roll bar, a removable front splitter and a carbon fiber rear wing with seven different settings. The result of the ACR package — according to Chrysler — is 1,000 pounds of downforce at 150 mph and the ability to corner the skidpad at 1.5g.
Prices for the ACR Viper are said to start at under $100,000 and the car is scheduled to make its official debut on November 13th at the LA Auto Show.

RE: 2008 Viper ACR
Sign me up for one as soon as the prices here in Canada go down. 
Anybody know what's takin' em so long on that?
1 Canadian dollar is equal to 1.09 American dollars right now. All in all, that'd save a guy quite a heap of cash.

Blah, a few pounds lighter, same HP output. Come talk to me when the ACR has more power than a standard Viper SRT-10.
