ZR-1 vs Viper ACR (on track)

[jump15vc]

which would be faster on the track, the ACR is basically a race car but the ZR-1 has put up some mighty impressive numbers. of course until someone actually tests them head to head its all speculation. What do you guys think?

The ZR1 is relatively compromised IMO, whereas the ACR is basically a race car disguised as a fat Viper.

ACR for me.

This.
track rubber and aero > a glass hole in the hood

The ACR would SMOKE a ZR-1 on the track, on the street, just about anywhere.


The ACR vs. the ZR1 on the other hand... that'd be pretty close

sorry, I couldn't resist

ACR would leave the ZR-1 in the dust on curvy tracks
the ZR-1 would win on ovals and straights

nopassn was making a bit of a joke to point something out. "ZR-1" was the label applied to a limited version of the third gen Corvette (don't recall the years) and the LT5 powered C4 that was out in the early 90s.
"ZR1" with no hyphen is actually the name of the new monster Vette. Small difference but what else do we have to talk about

...i don't really see the point of changing the name if your naming it after the ZR-1 in the first place
it's like stingray and sting ray, i can't see the point of it

The dash is so eightys. ZR1 looks much cleaner

ACR. Adjustable suspension ftw.

[wwgkd]

ACR all the way. Far more hardcore.

[Ferrer]

According to the all overrated 'Ring, the ACR is faster.

[clutch-monkey]

but the ACR sounds like ass. if i'm going to have a car compromised everywhere else bar the track, it at least should sound good

[digitalcraft]

That's what happens when you use a truck motor.

It's never actually been used as a truck motor. It was initially concieved as one (and bears no relation to the V10 they did offer in pickups for a while) but they then discarded the idea and it has since been modified greatly for sports car use.

I've always heard that the big problem is that it's a V10 and it is very hard to get a V10 to sound good due to the natural firing order. Hard, but not impossible, with the right exhaust I think the factory has gotten some model years to sound pretty good. I remember reading an interview with one of their engineers about the difficulty they had with that, I'll see if I can find it somewhere. And obviously the Gallardo sounds halfway decent also.

CGT exhaust ftw.
