We're lucky to have some nice weather this weekend here in Chester County PA. We had a nice New Year's Eve turnout at C&C yesterday. The Viper hadn't been out in a month, so it was nice to stretch her legs. By the way, temp was about 30 when I started out, and 43 when I got home (did about 30 miles total after C&C), and the Corsas were fine. I was being pretty careful though. Happy New Year!

Thanks. Same with yours. I loved the adrenaline paint on my first one. Almost makes that Ferrari invisible. :)
Btw, in just the first time driving this thing I can say that it gets way more attention than anything I've ever owned on my life!! I was photographed, filmed and talked to. Honestly it feels even more special than my old lambo. The pictures do it absolutely zero justice. Very impressive snake. This thing is venomous! !!
Nice to see you get it out OP!! Please make it a resolution to hit redline this year when it warms up ;). Car looks great!

Love them SRT hoods ! I will get one and keep it, one of these days.
The ACR E is SICK. I see John G has some more.........

I saw that. He also listed my old red GTS on his site. Driven 8200 Miles in 42 months of ownership, in pretty good shape and has the 10 year powertrain warranty. Never burned one drop of oil.
I wonder if he has unspoken for voodoo II's or SSG ACR's. I wouldn't mind a second one. Lolz!

Thanks Zee! Ah yes, redline.....my elusive goal! By the way, the '99 360 in the background belongs to my buddy Alex who took the picture.

Nice pic swexlin! Mine looks identical to your track pack. We just got through a severe cold snap down here with highs only in the mid 60's but back to 75 and sunny today. :) Happy 2017!

Had the 2016 Yorange had been like this (TA2.0 orange) that I would have gotten my ACR in that color. Unfortunately, the yorange kinda sucks and I ended up getting the competition blue.
I love that orange, it's stunning.

Love the orange on the ACR. Actually, I haven't yet seen a color that wasn't stunning on the ACR!

Happy New Year! Congratulations ! That looks incredible... How long have you had that ? Is that TA Orange ? You had the GTS Bumble Bee at Paul Miller Porsche C&C a while back?

Thanks Guys!!! The car looks fantastic with the brass monkey wheels. Like Swexlin stated..... the ACR looks so amazing in so many colors, its hard to choose. Wish I could have one in every color!!
v10enomous: Hey, how are you! Hope all is well. Yep that was me with my 14 GTS, this is a one of one ACR, and the color is actually Porsche Lava Orange which is VERY VERY close to TA orange, I think the Lava orange has a bit more Red in it (hard to describe).

I'm good... thanks... I thought it looked deeper with more red. Can't wait to see it in person. Now I remember you telling me that you had an ACR in your sights... Awesome!!!

Glad to see it out in the rain! I've driven mine in the rain several times, and while you have to be more careful, and clean up afterwards, they don't melt!

Its kind of hard not to drive in the rain in this country. Only problem is all the salt they put down, so yes clean up afterwards is a must! As for being more careful, surprisingly the car's electronics sorts itself out really well.

Love the orange. I'd revert back to my childhood and throw an 01 on the side. But I'm a closeted redneck.
Glad to see you guys out enjoying these monsters. Have fun and be safe. Even here in AZ I had to take er easy tonight with the cold temps.

Freaked me out for a minute. Here in the states, green nozzles mean diesel! I saw that and thought "well that is gonna suck."
What's the weather like there?

The party is over. We're getting 2 inches of snow tonight, and PA salts and brines these roads like the next ice age is coming!

That sucks man. I gues it helps you keep the miles low, but knowing its there and not being able to drive it would suck

All is not lost Scott. 50 degrees and rain next week. Might help.
