He's right. The larger vents are more effective evacuating heat from under the hood. Plus, they help reduce lift on the front of the car.

I think overall that Cerberus is headed in the right direction.

I'm only disappointed that the Magnum and Crossfire are gone.

I think SRT engineers are running out of places to cut holes in the Viper. Maybe they need to make it bigger, so that they can cut more out to save weight, and increase airflow...

Very in-depth look with the engineers

"After all of this work with the splitter, we still weren't quite at our 1000-pound target, so we took a lesson learned from the GTS-R program (for ALMS and other racing) and we began working with dive plane geometry on the front fascia. These actually provide another 20 to 25 percent more front downforce."

- Mike Shinedling, program manager for the Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR

Engineering look

Development of the new ACR began in late 2006.
