Clinched yet another track record?

Clinched yet another track record?

The record set by a 991 TTS is almost a minute quicker than a gen 4 that was ran a couple years ago, it'll be interesting to see if aero can make it up for the power it'll lose.

The ACR already set a production track record there... the Hot Rod guys were about 2 seconds off that pace due to weather and water... (respectable times wet)

NOW, Team Viper is trying for the Pikes Peak record, while the Acura NSX is trying to prevent that.

Guess who is spending the most factory and marketing bucks in that effort?

IF VIPER can take this record vs an AWD NSX Supercar, FCA may have to re-think the demise of the Viper !
