See More Pictures Here... Back in 2011 when the Viper ACR gained the production car lap record with a time of 7:12.13, the track version the ACR-X was doing some hot laps.
At the time we was spending some time with the guys from the Viper Club of America and showing them around some of the many good photo spots on the Nordschleife, they hinted at the time the ACR-X achieved but thought id hold on until the video surfaced.
Well here it is the SRT ACR-X Managed to lap the ring in an impressive 7:03.05
The ACR-X is powered by a 8.4-liter V10, with revised headwork and free flowing exhaust it gains around 40hp more than the standard model.
After numerous days of making us wait the guys at SRT along with Tomball Dodge have released an epic video of the 7.12.13 record run on the Nurburgrings Northloop in Germany.
Dominik Farnbacher the veteran GT driver managed to shave more than 2 seconds of the Lexus LFA.
It looks like the 2013 dodge viper is going to have an hard act to follow.
Considering the recent record runs in the states and in the Germany. ACR 7:12 Record!
In 2011 both the Lexus LF-A and the Corvette ZR-1 beat the longstanding record of the SRT Viper.
After some serious laptime and some inside information it looks like the Dodge Viper Team have managed an impressive 7:15.6 making it a Second slower than the Lexus LFA 7:14.6.
The guys at Vulkan Racing who are prep-ping the vehicle seem to think that the record will be beaten with a bit more prep and track time.
So before the guys from Lexus drink tea and prepare to fly home they might have a bit of a title challenge coming their way.
