Next to my stable I ll be just a solo Viper ACR E owner

[Augdog1964]

Well I've decided to be just a solo ACR-E owner...

But this will be joining her...

Superformance GT40, with a Roush 427 560+ HP, and 2200 lbs.

YEHAW!

Should be finished in May '17... the Viper will have a buddy.

And YES in Heritage Colors... will be an exact close (as close as you can get) to P1075, the firstcar to win LeMans 2x back to back in the modern era.

Great looking vehicle! What size and brand of tires will you use to contain that beast? Also, is it a 5- or 6-speed?

[plumcrazy]

sexy car !

[SSGNRDZ_28]

Awsome!! Hope to see it one day.

[esm_viper]

That's really freaking cool!!! I just checked out their website and had no idea something like this existed.

[Augdog1964]

It will be a 5 speed... I'm getting the WIDE rear end option, which is just like the original car...

... its a 15 inch wheel and special DOT racing tires... 335s... by Michelin... Speed rated.

[Augdog1964]

WOW, it will be 1,100 lbs lighter than the Viper ACR-E...

YIKES... and no stability control... what a rush!

[ViperPete]

What a beautiful car. Id love to see and hear that thing one day!

[Martin]

Wow - that's awesome. I've really got to get a job... Seeing things like that remind me that the good things in life ain't cheap.

[sharmut]

Awesome car and the color scheme.

[XSTAR]

Stryker Purple ACR and you have to get a job...haha! I need to stop having kids and buying land!

Wow. Sounds great.

[38D]

Awesome stable!


the only car to ever win LeMans 2x back to back.

It was the first car to win back-to-back, but it's been done several times since by both Porsche and Audi (and maybe Peugeot too).

Right hand drive and right hand shift ? If so, you da man ! I have seen one in person (the accurate repro), and it is a real time machine !

[Chipster]

What do those run if you don't mind sharing? The ones I've seen pricing seems all over the place.

[NT-ACR]

About $130k without an engine or transmission.

[Augdog1964]

Absolutely, right hand steer, right hand shift...

Prices vary WILDLY by options and engine... NT-ACR is right, roller is about $130k.
I'm going all out with a full Roush 427FI w/ a period look carb that is actually fuel injection... not cheap.
Wide body, even the little lights that light up the roundel numbers at night...

Total about $195k

It should run like crazy... and the sound is simply amazing.

[Augdog1964]

4 cars have had consecutive wins...


The first was a Bentley Speed Six #LB2332 1929-1930

But for the modern era:

United States Ford GT40 #P-1075 1968-1969
Germany Porsche 956 #117 1984-1985
Germany Porsche WSC-95 #002 1996-1997

Those are the only cars that have repeated (same chassis) in consecutive years... the GT40 1075 the first of the modern era.

[Snakebit10]

That GT40 would nice next to a red/white Oreca heritage wrapped ACR-E.

[Purple Haze]

Nice car congrats...!!!

[Augdog1964]

LOVE that! Someone do a design... course I love my Stryker Green!

[LABrit]

nice!

[mnc2886]

Man, what an awesome addition. A GT40 is exactly what I want to add next too. Need pics of them together OP.

[Chipster]

Appreciate the info. Always liked them. The pricing sounds about right based on the light blue one that has been on ebay.

[DoctorV8]

I have that same Roush 427IR motor in my Restomod Mercury....the sound it makes at WOT is just unbelievable. I love it.

I was curious about that as I read the thread. Thank you very much.

Was Al Holbert a driver in the 956 both years?

To the OP:

That will make a great addition. Congrats!

[EliteV]

very nice!!

[Augdog1964]

Shoot... just traded my Hellcat for this...

Backdraft 427 special edition... 1 of 1 Laguna Blue...

2097920980

Love the Hellcat, but with newer editions w/ more HP coming, time to mitigate the depreciation!

That car is gorgeous. Congrats. Take a pic next to your Viper.

[Snakebit10]

Aug that is a beautiful Cobra...Picks with all three stat.

[soltic]

Recommend Olthoff as builder or at least supplier of parts - he has designed and sells custom stuff from years of building & racing 40's, very nice and knowledgeable and of course he has a literal genetic attachment to the Shelby and 40 history....

[Augdog1964]

Never sat in a Cobra... saw it and fell in love. I shows Saturday... and I'm loading my Hellcat today... sure hope I fit! LOL

[Augdog1964]

OMG, drove it today... I DO NOT MISS the Hellcat in the least...

Its almost Viper quick... AMAZING!

[uberpube]

I'll be that guy and ask why exactly this is in the gen v section?

[Augdog1964]

Because we love cars... just a stab.

[Fatboy 18]

Because we love cars... just a stab.

Should be in other rides ;)

Love the GT40 :dude3: Correct colours too :)

It's threads like this that make using the search function a PITA.
