ACR Build

[pdv25]

Chrysler came through with my lemon law case. (see Chrysler ain't so bad after all lol) Pulled the trigger on a GTS-R Blue 17 ACR extreme from Viper Exchange.

Doing their H/C setup with ARH, titanium catback, intake heat shield, crank pulley, 12 speaker upgrade, and rear trunk carpet.

Hoping to pick it next Saturday if all goes as planned and drive it back home. About a 1300 mile trip.

Working with Andy has been great! Truly amazed on the fast turn around time of the build! Can't wait to get her home!!

Andy has been bombarding me with pics all day. Here are a few.

Jeez, too much win man. Congrats!!

[ACRucrazy]

Your ACR "Brick" will put the hurt on that "Sooth" TA you had.
Very badass!

[ViperPete]

Holy crap man! Way to go! I can't wait to see your new, new, new videos now!

[ViperJon]

Damn....congrats man. Good luck with it. Awesome.

[swexlin]

Paul, happy for you. That's a helluva car there. Now please keep this one for while! Can't wait to see the new videos.

[ViperDC]

Sweet! How much does the titanium catback run?

[pdv25]

Thanks guys! Feeling really excited and so fortunate. Never would of thought I would be getting an ACR let alone with all these mods.

Some more pics!! All in the details!

Before and after. Wrapped harness waiting for the Calvo sheild.

Threaded titanium catback to prevent movement.

Thanks! Give Andy a call. Don't have a detailed receipt yet.

[SSGNRDZ_28]

Congrats! Looking forward to seeing your ACR up and running! Great color too! May want to consider a catch can given how you'll be using the car?

Thanks!! That problem child was a blessing in disguise.

[ViperTony]

Congratulations!!!

Are you going to spray on the street to help make up for that wing?

Congrats, BTW. I've held that titanium exhaust personally. It's unreal how light it is.

[Boba Fett]

Dude I got the same color combo and the same VE set up. CONGRATS ON MY CARS TWIN!!

HAHA nice!

[hova00]

that's one serious ACR!! Can't wait for the videos

[Jdmuscle]

Awesome... I have the same Catback, it's loud AF but it's amazing.

Beautiful color choice and lots of good luck with this bad boy. lol

Is the VE catback too loud inside the car?

[1.8t]

Anxious to hear your impressions of the setup. Badass car!

[zee]

Awesome Man congrats!! Since you do a lot of roll races I was surprised you went with an ACR. Either way, that is going to be one bad ass snake!!

[racegate]

My favorite color combo on an ACR! Awesome choice. Can't wait to see how it runs with the H/C setup.

Thanks again guys!!

Zee....I know this it's not the best choice for roll racing but I love the look of the ACR E! We will see how it does soon. Running a 991 turbo S with full bolt-ons and upgraded turbos once I get the car.

[pdv25]

A few more progress pics from this morning! Thanks Andy!!

I love these build pic threads. Nothing better than seeing all of the oily bits coming together. Congrats!

[FLATOUT]

Thanks again Doug! You're one of the easiest guys to work with in the biz. Really appreciate the extra mile you ALWAYS go to.

[esm_viper]

Sooo.... since I will be at Viper Exchange next weekend will your car still be there? I'd love to see and hear it!

[allans]

This one is a Home Run -Congratulations. Best, Allan

PS, Did you consider changing to Calvo Motor Mounts?

[FLATOUT]

He's taking delivery this Saturday so you'll miss this by a week.

[ek1]

Please post a high-quality clip of the exhaust sound outdoors.

[Snakebit10]

BEAUTIFUL. Congrats. N/A Armageddon right there. Can't wait for your write up. Since you got the lightweight Ti exhaust any thoughts on adding a 10-11lb Braile battery to save further weight? Every little bit counts against that upgraded Porsche you will be running :D

[pdv25]

As Andy said I should be flying to VE this Saturday!

Whats the advantage of them?


Please post a high-quality clip of the exhaust sound outdoors.

I will definitely try and get video.

I may consider that in the future.

Bro great build! Time to switch the lemon out of your sig!! haha
Viper Exchange is great to buy from. Although my trade in price on my 15 was really low...:mad:

[FLATOUT]

Paul, too bad the aero package on this car is going to hurt it so much for the straight line stuff you like to do. Anything over a 100mph and you will definitely notice it.

[pdv25]

I'm well aware, it is what it is. This build is for ME. I wanted the baddest viper with a nice build package. Not worried about the street scene. It's changed quite a bit. Too much drama and shit talking for my liking.

I'll still go out on Sunday mornings and make a few pulls here and there. ;)

That is the way it should be. I am sure it will haul the mail. It would be sweet to line up against your old TA...

That's the right attitude :) And I agree with you 100% I didn't want another aero car because I also like doing a lof of straight line stuff but it's hard to resist such a fantastic car at the end of the production cycle.

I would love to race my old TA. Unfortunately the current owner is not into racing much. He is still running around with the nitrous tune with no intention of spraying the car. He never asked me to put back the motor tune. The car feels slow on motor with the nitrous tune.

Andy

Exactly my thought!

[Jdmuscle]

Is the VE catback too loud inside the car?

I also have the same headers as Andy did in the blue car he recently sold. Yes, it's loud but most will get used to it like I did.

[KB Viper]

thats going to be a fun drive home. have you considered the tractive DCS suspension, it would make the ride home very comfortable. are you getting it clear bra'd in houston?

[pdv25]

Not really, I think I'm going to leave the suspension alone. They are doing the clear bra though.

Might not be able to pick up the car on Saturday like I thought. Chrysler is taking their sweet time sending the funds to VE. It may or may not happen. Sucks I really wanted to drive it home. I'm pretty booked the rest of the year so I might have to ship it home. :(

[pdv25]

The motor is done and went back in!

This has been such a great experience! Andy has sent me over 40 pics and videos of the motor going in. I felt like I was there every step of the way! Truly great customer service!!

Awesome to see little to no downtime so that you get to enjoy your new toy soon!!

[Junkie]

Man, you're going to love that car!

[Dman]

You are so building my dream car, lol.

I'm so hoping to pull off this same plan, ACR with Andy's stage 2 ... one way or other.

[Vegaskid]

So sweet...I'm going to check it out tomorrow when I roll up there to grab my front splitter that squatting in Andy's office....

[pdv25]

The car fired up yesterday! Had to cancel my trip to go pick it up tomorrow. If all goes well this time around, I'll be picking it up next Saturday.
