The body less car is cool. It is hard to see the width of the back tires on that car and the Viper with the body on them.

I've read that the ZR1 is going to MSRP from anywhere between 100k-120k. For that type of money you're better off buying an 09'ACR Viper and spending another 20k on Heffner/Hennessey performance parts. That Vette V8 is already supercharged while the Viper V10has no engine performance add-ons.

I disagree simply because of the name Hennessey. His products are overpriced and his reputation is horrible for most Viper owners.....his products perform, I wont deny that..

The truth is this Corvette wont MSRP over 100k....for the simple fact that they want to destroy the Viper.....even before Chrysler does...

More to the point, even with 100hp less, the current Z07 Corvette is beaten by the new Viper by less then 3/10's of a second on the track....

So what would this car be capable of? Serious *** beatens...

There's still Heffner, Viper Performance Parts (VPP), Roe Racing.

The ACR will eat the ZR1's lunch. A supercharger is never the best for the track, that N/A V-10 will just start pulling away and away. But in a straight line obviously a lighter car with an SS is going to dominate.

The new ACR still cant even dominate the current Z07 Matt, so what would make you think a car with more HP, faster times, and better weight/power ratio is going to do???

Sorry bud, but this is the one time I think the Bow-Tie did lay down the knockout...
