[BlknBlu]

That red stripe near the back must be over a wing, along with the steering wheel

[ViperSmith]

Looks like the chin of the front sticks out quite a bit and VERY low

[XSnake]

About god damn time

[ViperTony]

Prepare yourselves. :D

[J TNT]

Niiiiiiice ! :)

[V1P3R]

Oh yeah, that would be ACR-ish. I mean, I'm not an automotive designer, but I do have vision and I did stay at a holiday inn express last night!

[FLATOUT]

I'll believe it when I see it :) They are teasing SEMA wich seems like an odd place to announce an ACR. I would be thrilled to see it though.

[V1P3R]

Is the rest of the car finished in some new kind of transparent paint? Wow, Pre-fix is amazing!

Don't need this cup of coffee now, plenty of excitement now!!!

:United_States::dude3:

[BAD BOYZZ GARAGE]

SEMA's been a pretty good place to showcase for Mopar and SRT products over the last few years. GM will undoubtly bring their A game so I think Mopar / SRT want to bring just a bit more than the Hellcat line. ACR or at least aero upgrade package?? Great either way, I'm sure we'd agree.

Well, we know how long it takes for something for the Viper debuted at SEMA to appear in our hands: never :)

[ViperTony]

Maybe a special order TA 2.0 paint scheme. Could be an ACR concept car. Could be an 807HP V10. If it's just another paint scheme it will be a major disappointment for me. Aiming low here.

[rw99]

Judging by the rear wing height, aren't we looking at a TA 2.0?

Regardless, it will look amazing.

[canadian viper]

might be another 5 hp bump.... wow lol

[smhog]

Ok, who can photoshop this onto a Gen V?

Say start with White and Competition Blue.

Please an thank you,

[mjorgensen]

Looks to have a good size wicker bill on the wing.

[smhog]

Mark, what's a wicker bell?

[Track Pack]

When is SEMA?

[rw99]

Mark, what's a wicker bell?

Gurney flap.

[V1P3R]

"Awwwww, c'mon guys! It's all ball bearings these days!"

[mjorgensen]

Mark, what's a wicker bell?

LOL I don't know how to spell it I guess, it is the small lip that comes up on the trailing edge of the rear wing to create more down force.

[Bill Pemberton]

Wickerbill , Gurney Flap, all da same thing --- wicker bell is that confounded thing hanging over my belt so Mark has a good reason to be confused ,ha!

[smhog]

Thank you.

Mark, I didn't know what it was. I wasn't taking a jab at you.

"Awwwww, c'mon guys! It's all ball bearings these days!"

That, sir, is a fantastic Fletch.

[kdaviper]

does the shape of the intake look odd to anybody else? it looks like it's higher in the center, and also that there is a triangular ridge coming from the middle of the intake to the edges of the power bulge

Article says aftermarket show?


...the release of a Viper ACR at the upcoming aftermarket show (SEMA) appears to be certain.

Does this mean it will be an aftermarket kit from Mopar parts? That would be no bueno honestly. I really hope it is the real deal ACR everyone has been begging for.

They showed the TA 2.0 wing at a show prior to it being part of a production package, so there is some hope

[Eachey51]

Thats not a 2.0, that is definitely a full splitter up front!

[ViperSmith]

[FLATOUT]

New guy question: Which car would be a more direct competitor to the C7 Z06 with Z07 package? T/A 2.0 or ACR?

I would say neither, I would say the current gen TA. Based solely on aero.

[Victxv10]

Maybe another Tomball/Prefix special edition like the Medusa?

[V10LEE]

Oh the other thread was a repost. Ha

This is cool. I can't wait to see the details of the new ( hopefully) ACR!
If true so long TA 2.0. Hello ACR..

[V10LEE]

Anyone know if Ralph Gilles is still in charge,directing the Viper projects? Or somebody else took over?

[SN95SNAKE]

I really hope this is true, would love to see how it performs!

[Bruce]

Why would Dodge tease w/ an upcoming ACR to take thunder away from a soon-to-be-released TA 2.0?

[Shooter]

Well that's it. All mod plans on my 13 are now halted until I see what this new ACR performs like. My wife likes the 13, so I'll use my voucher on an ACR and keep the SRT for her.

Sucker better be badass.

[Solid Red 98]

Back in 2008 the gen 4 acr showed up as a concept, and then a production version followed shortly after. These are exciting times!

[rw99]

Since it's SEMA, I'd predict (at best) an ACR built from new additions to the Mopar catalog. Including (finally) a third-party performance PCM, and perhaps significant power upgrades.

So you could either buy the factory-built TA 2.0, or you browse the catalog and find a REALLY good shop to build your "ACR". Or maybe Dodge would make something non-street-legal, as per the Challenger Drag Pak?

[Nine Ball]

I will be at SEMA. It is a great place to unveil, since it is a world stage - full of industry and auto media execs. Expect a lot of pics from me.

[Chorps]

Why would Dodge tease w/ an upcoming ACR to take thunder away from a soon-to-be-released TA 2.0?

It could be a dagger in the heart of the c7 z06. Probably the only car that is anticipated to beat the z06 would be the ACR (sub 500k)

[Bruce H.]

You would think any future ACR would be substantially different enough from the TA/TA2.0 that they would be priced and appeal to a different buyer, and a different buyer than the Z06 as well maybe. But so many recent changes in direction at SRT/Dodge that it's tough to assume much. By the time the TA 2.0 can be ordered it would be smart and timely if it had standard or available options to best the Z06....not a new model coming a year too late. The big brakes exist now, so does the adjustable suspension, and the Trofeos or MPSC2 tires could be any day.

Waiting for an ACR to beat a Z06 seems like a needlessly long wait and far too costly. I would think a future ACR will be designed to far exceed the Z06 with its much more serious aero... hopefully!

[TitleMine]

I hope Dodge learned its lesson from the initial launch. It will not be sufficient for this ACR to merely "tie" the performance of the Z07 Z06. I'd love it if the benchmark was the 918 instead.

[Eachey51]

I agree with your thinking but they did the same thing with the Aero Coupes and ACR's during Gen 4 production. Much like that run, the TA 2.0 will be more for those who want the look and aren't as concerned with maximum functionality.

[BlknBlu]

The T/A and the ACR should not be competing in the same time frame for production. Build the T/A for 2015 and keep the ACR quiet and release on 2016. Yes the wait sux but it is better for the brand.

Keep Viper alive

Or just kill the 2.0 before it starts and release the ACR. You can't order the 2.0 until next year anyway, so they could easily say they've moved up their ACR timeline since that's what people really want. It would also have a nice side benefit of making the 14 TAs more unique :)

Corvette will sell about as many cars this year as Vipers that have ever been produced. They can't operate on the same model. I also want to point out that the discount scored a lot of points with people (not around here, I know). Bunches of new owners are popping up on general car forums and people are going bananas. Surprise, surprise, everyone who gets actual seat time (vs keyboard kommando time) with the Gen V loves it). Viper has a chance to get a lot of its mojo back here. I hope they're listening and don't screw this up.

[Policy Limits]

V10LEE you're correct! Question was the gen IV ACR rear diffuser different from the base model? Cuz I think the V version should have a more aggressive rear diffuser.

[FLATOUT]

V10LEE you're correct! Question was the gen IV ACR rear diffuser different from the base model? Cuz I think the V version should have a more aggressive rear diffuser.

I think the single most important thing about ACR's is function. If it needs a more or less aggresive diffuser should all depend on what makes it go faster on track. Same thing with all aero for ACR's, does it increase track performance, if so add it, if not who cares.

[ViperSmith]

the matte black and red stripes on the white just looks hot

If there is a real wing on the car at SEMA would you be so kind as to take some detailed pics of it, mounts included?

Hey Mr I got mine for free, did you know that every generation before this one had a side gill that was NOT functional and was for looks only?

[ViperTony]

Hey Mr I got mine for free, did you know that every generation before this one had a side gill that was NOT functional and was for looks only?

LOL unfortunately no not free but I also didn't pay over MSRP either so I'm counting my blessings nonetheless. :D

As for the side gill, on my GenII the side gill is functional. I mounted my WBO controller and calibration reset button near the PCM which allows for easy access from the gill. In between track sessions the gills allows heat from the engine compartment to escape while the fan is cooling down the engine. Having that extra escape path for hot engine air helps a great deal. I can also roast marshmallows in that area, well at least before I removed the cats. And I have my Battery Tender cables mounted in the gill area for easy hookup/disconnect between charging sessions. It's like 101 uses for me. :D

[Policy Limits]

How was it not free? Sales tax doesn't count 8-p. Glad you were able to mod your other one to be functional.

[ViperTony]

How was it not free?

Coming from a guy who thinks the stripe on the steering wheel is there for looks I don't think I'll be able to explain this to you. :t0122: :D

Show me were Ralph said that. If you have ever worked on a Viper and removed all of the body work in that area, which I have you'll see that it's used to vent underhood temps and always has been. It may be more functional on a Gen V but it was still functional on some level with the other gens.

I forsee a large amount of Gen IV ACR's hitting the used market and a fair amount of TA's if/when this releases.

Dodge Viper ACR Concept Coming to SEMA



Among the many high performance cars being unveiled at next month’s SEMA Show in Las Vegas will be the new Dodge Viper ACR Concept and while we don’t know anything about this new Viper ACR - it could lead to one of the best performing production cars in the world.


Among the collection of teaser images issued by the Chrysler Group pertaining to the upcoming SEMA Show in Las Vegas is the image shown above. While it doesn’t actually show a car, the shape of the stripes and the Stryker logo make it very clear that this is a scant preview of a new Dodge Viper. To be specific, this is the first teaser of the new Viper ACR Concept and while we know nothing about this concept (including what it might look like), we can use Vipers from the past to guess as to what we can expect from the SEMA-bound Viper ACR Concept.
The American Club Racer
If you were sure, ACR stands for American Club Racer and in the recent history of the Dodge brand, both the Dodge Viper and the Dodge Neon SRT4 have both been offered in ACR form. As the name might suggest, the ACR package is designed to be a supreme track car while maintaining the basic necessities of a street legal car. The 2010 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR is by far the most well known American Club Racer from Dodge, as it set lap records at tracks around the world - from the German Nurburgring to Laguna Seca in California. The 2010 Viper ACR was arguably the most track capable road car ever produced by an American automaker and at the time, no other street legal production car in the world could keep up with the specially equipped Viper on most of the world’s road courses.
The 2010 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR relied on the same basic drive train as the non-ACR models, but the SRT engineers equipped the 2010 Viper road racer with a collection of upgrades that made it nearly unbeatable on most tracks with turns. In addition to the aerodynamic upgrades that included a massive rear wing, front dive planes and a super aggressive chin spoiler, the Viper ACR back in 2010 packed a uniquely tuned and fully adjustable KW suspension setup, a big StopTech braking package, lightweiight Sidewinder wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires. There was also a “hardcore package” that shaved some extra weight from the Viper ACR and even though there was no significant power increase, the older Viper ACR blasted around the world’s most grueling road courses faster than any factory production road car before it.
The 2010 Dodge Viper ACR became a performance legend but with the new Viper, there has been no mention of an ultra track ready ACR model - until now.

-Aero kit obviously
-Supercharger at least an option
-Optional Fog lights
-This version back as the halo of Dodge, taking crown back from Hellcat.

Probably not coming but maybe someday:
-Paddleshift

No eyelashes, for sure. Stupidest styling ploy going on right now among all the car makers. If strings of lights were such a good idea, why aren't Christmas tree lights left on the house year around?

Paddle shifter would be perfect and cause me to write a check. Having a car that my wife could share with me would be a lot of fun.

Either way, I expect Viper to make a HUGE splash at SEMA this year. As long as the parts do not come through MOPAR, then we may actually get them. Can't cancel all racing here there and the other side of the pond, to produce nothing of interest.

I'm most interested to see what is the risen part on the front of the hood. New vent? Or illusion of current style hood because of angle?

Mark Trostle IS the man...if it is his signature, pay close attention :-)I sent him a message on twitter saying that his teaser has caused a buzz and that we hope it's true. He responded by following me on Twitter. Hmmmm.
