Turns out the Dodge Viper ACS is!

With FIA World Touring Car Championship driver Tom Coronel behind the wheel, Dodge has claimed victory in a time of 7:22.1 using its absolutely insane Viper ACR.

I know the GTR V spec hasnt been around yet, but it better be good to match this.

Nissan GT-R V Spec 7:25, can't beat the GT-R at value for money.

Fasest road legal car around it is Radical SR-8 at 6:55.

The Viper looks sooo much better than the 'Vette. Not that Corvettes look bad, but the Viper is a beautiful machine.

I will admit that the dodge is more like a road going race car and the Corvette ZR1 is a wanna be race car.

Hey, as long as it's American, I don't care.

You know we Americans need to keep our cars on top in order to keep ourselves well hung.

So, who knows.

My grandpa has a 68' ss 396 and its all original outside but the inside has cobra searts, a roll cage and no carpet (no interior at all for that matter) its the most fun car ive ever driven. And the wheels look cool there black hubless heels. The only downside is the brakes die every two or three races cuz itsa automatic

Classics are always the most fun, but it will eat your gas and you need to maintain the parts cuz they wernt that great back then.

While it still is a beast, and still is good value for the money... make sure you realize you will never buy a GTR from a dealership for the price Nissan said they cost.

Some dealerships have been marking the car up as much as 20k....

Also ownership costs of a vette are still in the normal car range, One of the other forums I am on often is a nissan forum, and one of the guys is a tech at a shop certified to sell the GTR... here are some fun facts from the training classes he was required to attend.

Here are some interesting Facts.
-Can only launch the car 15 times before the transmission gives out. The most Nissan has got was 34 launches.
-The fluid lists at 80 dollars a quart. It costs dealerships 49.99 a quart. The car takes 10 quarts.
-The warranty depends on the driving, there is a black box in it just like an airplane.
-Customers have to sign a waiver stating they will not complain about brake or transmission noise.
-The brakes MUST be replaced at the same time, cost for replacing 6500.
-If something goes wrong other than an oil change at the dealership, a special team needs to be called and your outta a car for a while.

So yea. Sounds promising. Sounds fast, for a couple of months.

So yeah, still an amazing piece of machinery, still a lot of performance for the money.... But the costs are much higher then they make it seem, especially when you end up getting charged $800 in fluid alone.

Maybe not super car prices, but still super car maintenance... Your GTR cannot even get an alignment with out a special alignment rack.
