Insane

Man, I know I drive a pokey little Honda chic car now, but I will be a Mopar man 'til the day I die, and that damn near brings a tear to my eye seeing the ACR kick that much ass at Nurburg. Last generation of non-traction control Vipers too. So glad to see the Viper bring the record back to America. :D

I'm confused, what recorded did it set? its only fourth fast production car. Maybe its massed produced car?

None the less, I still love the viper, acr or not.

Fasted Time around the Nurburgring. A 12.9 mile road course. It's been used as a measurement of handling for a few years now.

Fourth Fastest production car usually means tops speed, in a straight line. Like out at Bonneville.

Didnt the radical sr8 do it in under 7 minutes?
i do know the gumpert apollo sport did it in 7:11,
is this for the fastest lap record of 2011?

You are correct.

I'm not sure why they are calling it a record.

Probably for mass production car. The new viper is even faster too!

I meant on the ring, not in general.
