2017 Photos of ACR getting excited

[Purple Haze]

My 2017 one of one Stryker Purple of course ACR ordered September 28th or so right before they closed the door. Finally started to paint it got photos today. Should only be a couple months at this point if no delays. Not in any hurry weather too crappy to drive it anyway. 22659

Congrats Purple, she is going to look fantastic. Nice build configuration.

We are on a similar time line, I got my first photos of paint work this week too. Seven or eight months is a long time to wait for a car, but like you I am in no particular hurry but also getting pumped now that it has been started.

[Purple Haze]

Love that color combo too!

Yea if you're getting paint photos expect a completed car in two weeks. Then final inspection etc.

Looks like I'm on a similar schedule as Wagnut.

[Wagnut ACR]

I was surprised at the progress once in paint. Months of info and then all the sudden there's a Viper.

Did you get some paint shots ?? You've been top secret about your build. Curious how you decided to build it

[texasram]

Has anyone ever heard of ''very viper violet''?

[Purple Haze]

Wow that soon??? Hoping for a couple months more to get garage ready, weather, etc., but not complaining!

My car's twin!
I assume the interior is different though. Mine isn't a one of one, just a boring Competition Blue ACR :D

For being "boring" I sure am excited.:cool:I don't think any Viper, let alone an ACR would be boring. LOL.
Mine is a 17. Went the 1of1 route more for the experience than anything.
May not be the most exciting Viper being built but it's mine and it's exactly what I wanted.
Doesn't hurt that there not another one exactly like it.

[Purple Haze]

Yes guy just sold one on eBay couple months ago I spoke to him think he said only offered in 2015? If I see another I may have to think hard about it...Doesn't pop like Stryker Purple but still bad ass!

Ok then my detailer her wasnt lying then, he was telling me about one of his clients that has an acr

[ViperSRT]

Wow, concierge told me 8-12 weeks after paint started. Please slow it down. It is winter!

[ACRucrazy]

Exactly how I feel. I am hoping for another 2-3 months haha.

[ACRucrazy]

Yes I do. I have a folder of nearly 100 build photos. The 1 of 1 process is very cool. I hope if the Viper comes back they treat every owner to the same process. Build to order only. I will share some photos at some point in the future. :)

Cool....looking forward to it. I am going to guess it's not green since I think you said you are keeping the 09 (which is a great call.....nothing like a Gen4 ACR)

[Wagnut ACR]

Exactly how I feel. I am hoping for another 2-3 months haha.

I'm ready for mine. Not really the best time of year to receive it here in TN, but I'll survive.
Everyone else doing the factory tour? I'm looking forward to it.

Nothing specific for mine yet, we'll see what happens. I do have that package that just arrived at home though so will see that when I get back from San Jose tomorrow.

[John N]

Nope, not the same color. No boring old solid colour for me, this one is metallic:t15197:

JK of course, I have seen your posts and really like your car, but this is not going to be that close to it. Mine is a metallic steel blue with red driver's stripe only. Hopefully it will look different in different lighting. Here are a couple more to hopefully show that.2268922690

[John N]

Love that color combo too!

Thanks! I have seen several Stryker Purple cars in person and they are beautiful. Yours should be stunning.

[BlueAdder]

I didn't mean boring in the true sense of the word :D
I originally wanted the Yorange but after seeing it, I didn't care for it much as I thought it would like the TA 2.0 Orange so, I picked the next best color on my list: Blue.
I love the color and it grows on me more and more. It seems to be a fairly popular color too.

You did the right thing going 1of1 and I wish I had done that but all I wanted was an ACR-E and I got a little confused by the process. I wanted a bare ACR-E, no fancy stuff and I wasn't sure that it would have been what I wanted if I had gone 1of1 (I was wrong of course).

I'm glad that you didn't paint the wing, you'll love the CF look on that thing. That's funny because they always say: CF can have blemishes, but honestly, the wing on my car is flawless.
Hopefully you won't have to wait much longer. Mine got stuck in limbo for about a month but when I got it last August, I was super excited. They unloaded it while I was there but since the dealership had to go over the car, I could only pick it up after the weekend so I just spend the Sat & Sun looking at the pictures I took :smilielol:

[Wagnut ACR]

I know you didn't, just giving you a hard time.
The 1of1 process wasn't too bad. I can see how it could be confusing though. The dealer I bought it from has sold Vipers before but never a 1of1. Thankfully the sales manager was great at getting the info I needed. Didn't hurt that I built it about 100 times online before going in. One of those things where you can shoot yourself in the foot if you don't pay attention to what boxes get checked.
Sounds like our cars are very similar. I didn't do too much as far as luxury options either. I really could have just ordered an ACR-E but I wanted the experience. Might never have the chance again.
What part of Nor. Cal. You in? I was born and raised in So. Cal. Have some family in Carpinteria.

[BlueAdder]

I live in the SF Bay Area.
Sadly, even though there are a number of Viper owners around, I don't see any. I do regret not going 1of1 because of the concierge thing, that's awesome. Instead, I had to just wait not knowing anything :D

Maybe Dodge will keep this going for cars like the Demon or whatever they make as their halo car.
It's such a unique thing.

You'll love that car, it's such a hoot. I can't wait to take it to the track either. Maybe I'll take it on the 24th at Laguna Seca but it will depend on the weather, if it stays like the recent days, I'll take my Ford :)

[Wagnut ACR]

Spent a bunch of time in SF for work. Too many people for me. Around 1000 people in the town I live in now. I'm about 15 miles outside of town. More cows around than people.
The concierge has been awesome. Every time I get the email I'm excited to see what's going on. Once my car went into paint they really started sending a lot of pictures.
Really looking forward to getting my Viper. Already told work I'm going to need some time off. Gotta fondle the car:t15197:

I'm getting excited, and I've had my Viper since June. These pics are great!

[Purple Haze]

Did the tour last June and now I'll be doing it again in the next couple months. Once in a lifetime experience...Honestly it's the coolest thing I've ever done. Funny you save $800 off sticker for the tour hell I'd pay twice that to do a tour!!!


I'm ready for mine. Not really the best time of year to receive it here in TN, but I'll survive.
Everyone else doing the factory tour? I'm looking forward to it.

[Wagnut ACR]

I'm with you, I would gladly pay to do it. I guess in a sense we are paying $100K+ to do it.
Seems like purple is your color for cars. Mine always end up being blue.

[Scott_in_fl]

Gulf livery car behind you on the line in second photo of post #32. Would be great if we could see more of it.

[Wagnut ACR]

I noticed that. All I have is a side sill sitting next to one of mine before being installed.

[Mark1107]

That might be Gerry Woods personal Gulf Livery ACR. He talked about it. Or Brad Wood, one of them ordered a Gulf livery. It looks bad ass.

[Purple Haze]

Really like the color you chose...Deep blue rocks too. Hell I like all the colors....Actually would love to own a red one next with a black stripe-maybe down the road....Enjoy your ride...

I'm sure the Stryker Purple is going to be amazing once it's in one piece. I really lucked out on liking the Comp. blue with no stripes. Saved a ton of money, LOL. Too bad it all ant into a new trailer. I tossed around a few custom colors and white too. I think your right about the colors though. They all look great.

[ViperDC]

really dig the stryker purp with white

[Purple Haze]

Thanks I juggled with red stripes, light orange believe it or not. I already had black on my 2016 Stryker Purple GTC so wanted something different. Wanted the ACR to pop! So I chose regular white I think it'll look good too late anyway....! Gerry Woods had one exactly like mine on a 2017 ACR I guess interior was different assuming it was a one of one like mine...

This is just stunning! the color is perfect, and the singe driver stripe is a bold statement. Well done!

Is that your Gulf Livery Viper behind mine?

[Purple Haze]

Still wondering how our Vipers differ meaning Gerry Woods sold a 2017 GTC ACR Stryker Purple with bright white stripes ACR interior. Both have the Extreme Aero package...That matches mine exactly??? I guess it could have different wheels? I got red seat belts but that blows the theory you cannot get two ACRs GTCs with identical colors and stripes...Am I missing something here? Maybe I'll have the only one of one and there's two! It's worth a million dollars!!! I may contact Gerry Woods there must be something different??? Ideas???

[38D]

matching exactly includes every option. So it could be something small, like ordering the car cover.

[Purple Haze]

Thanks.... I see you have a 2016 Stryker Purple too. Did you post any photos?

Must be the car cover on my order or the wheels. All else looks identical. Could be the salesperson mine came with she was really cute!!! LOL...

There was some confusion regarding the wheels. Somehow the order had black wheels, the reservation has Brass Monkey. Monkey was the correct spec, so here she is (her name is The Mistress) with the correct wheels.

[Scott_in_fl]

I am a fan of the blues, and both the comp blue and the Gulf car look terrific! Well done!!

[Wagnut ACR]

Awesome combo.

I'm in full blown countdown mode. Really looking forward to seeing my car in person. I'm sure pictures don't do it justice. The weather is getting better. BRING ON THE VIPER.

[IndyRon]

That Gulf coloration looks really cool. I don't know if it's the OCD in me but my only quip about the Gen 5 ACR's aesthetically is how they always look to have the wrong size tires on the front. The sidewall profile is so small on the front and comparatively large in the rear. I wonder if better performance would be had if they made a 295/30 profile Kumho to better match the rears instead of that little 25 profile.

[Purple Haze]

Really cool love the color and stripes...I almost went with those orange stripes on a Stryker Purple ACR-E but I didn't know if that would be interesting or horrible choice??? Anyway mine are white...

In TN everything orange must be VOLS related. Any Viper is going to get a lot of attention in the little town I live in.
Off topic Doug, but I'm loving your products. Putting my list together.
I was in your neighborhood not too long ago, got some Squealers BBQ. About the only thing I had time to do, dang work always getting in the way.

[Purple Haze]

Martin that is so cool of course you picked the right color!!! Love the stripe combo as much as mine what's not to like in a Viper!!! Mine just got moved to final stage Quality Validation today...When you decide to sell call me!!! Scott

[Martin]

Hahaha - I don't think I'll sell this one anytime soon, Scott. I mourned the loss of my last ACR for the past four years, so this one I think I'll keep as long as I keep my old Gen II GTS.

Now, I just need to figure out how to get the new garage built in time for delivery... I live up in the hills above Silicon Valley, and we were cut off from civilization for the last week (landslides, big trees down, creek flooding everything, dams in danger of breaking). So, trying to build anything right now is a no-go because my roads are barely passable with a serious 4WD let alone a Viper.

It will be a fun summer, though - getting a new toy is always exciting. Now, note to self - don't drive this one into an unmovable object.....

[Policy Limits]

Purple is a badass color. A friend had a 6.0 Diablo in viola ophelia...what striking paint color. This shade of the color on the Viper is so sexy.

[Purple Haze]

Congrats again enjoy your new car send photos when done I'll do the same...Wow I love purple!!!

Ugh, when I think about the maintenance issues with a Lambo, the color better be good. If I can't work on it myself, it's going to sit in the garage (or maybe, somehow, get rolled into the house) just to look at.
