Bill Pemberton ROCKS! He bought my 2001 GTS at the price I wanted and delivered a gorgeous 2008 ACR to my house! The driver and I even had the same last name, go figure. Bill also sent a very special package with brochures from SRT. The transaction was so easy, selling/buying, I willgo to Woodhouse Dodge again when I am ready for another Viper!

Bill is the best, my transaction with him was easy and smooth too when I bought my ACR roadster. He's the man I'm calling when it's time to add another Viper to my stable

Looks great. Now if I could only find a Woodhouse 2010 ACR Roadster. I'm kicking myself for letting one go by me a year ago last October for a great price.

Enjoy Leslie.

Your streets look like ours did when they delivered ours from Woodhouse a couple of weeks ago.

Congrats Leslie.
That is one bad ass ACR.
Bill's driver Mike has a habit of delivering Vipers to us Indiana owners when its snowing. You can be sure that he took good care of it during its journey to your doorstep!
How long before the Positron Racing Team has it in their shop for some mods?
Enjoy!

That is an easy way to pull a few seconds off your lap times.

The other people you run with will need to get out of the way.
-enjoy the track monster. :dude3:

CONGRATS LESLIE...that is one fine Batmobile......

ps: PartsRack is having a special on snow-tires. 4 x 18x11 front wheels, mounted with Blizzaks. Same as SRT used in those awesome snow-test videos you may have seen. Just remember to launch in 3rd......

Congratulations on the new toy :)
Now stick it in a shipping container and come and join us at Le mans in June :)

Neil in the UK has one of those (same colour) I sometimes get to run with him. I have trouble keeping up with that beast!

Not sure what tires your running but if its the cups, they need to be warmed up before putting the pedal down :drive: They have caused Neil a few interesting moments :p

Sweet congrats! I like that color combo too. It was like Rocman's ACR..
Do you know if the previous owner adjusted/ fiddled with the shock adjustements?

Leslie
01-18-2014, 02:15 PM
Good question on shocks, I will ask him!
The car is stock except for shifter.

Leslie - never touched the shocks. And the wrench should have been included with the car.

Might want to increase the rebound on the shocks . The factory street setting is dangerous IMO. The car is very sprung, unsettling on bumps, dips, especially when flying through a corner that has a dip ( you can lose control) When the suspension is compressed it shoots right up. Like jumping on a pogo stick. A car with no shocks feeling. I cranked mine to 10 fronts, and 9 rears. It transformed the entire car. The ride, handling is phenomenal..

Awesome car!! Congrats on the purchase... it's been a few hours, have you managed to spin your way outta the street yet? heh!

Leslie
01-18-2014, 07:05 PM
Haha! Yeh, I got lucky and was able to get it in the garage.

Good info on suspension!

Would this be a good setting for street use as well or just when running a track ?

Turn the rebound knob all the way to the hardest setting . Then count the clicks going back..

LOVE IT! The new car is a fantastic. It was as hard to part with my two gen 3 cars and ole blue, but I have no regrets!!! I know you won't have any regrets either. The ACR is a jewel!!!!

I need to change my Avatar hopefully today.

assuming it is cold and snowy there now, your weather is similar to here in Central PA... not sure if it has the stock Sport Cups on it.....but..... they completely suck cool weather.... I switched my 09 ACR (same paint scheme as your 08) to NITTO NT5's (I think that is what they are called).... they are a DREAM to drive on compared to the stock tires.... I hear the Super Sports are also a dream but the NITTOs were a good bit cheaper.

nice ride!

Leslie
01-19-2014, 10:58 AM
Yeh, Kaya, I cried when I dusted the GTS off before truck arrived. LOTS of great memories!


Scot, you were reading my mind, tires are gonna have to go, I drive to the track and can't be worried about cold or rain! Nittos huh? NT05's?
