Extreme ACR in Frame Status! Here are all the stages of build...

[VENOM V]

Hi guys,

A bunch of us that ordered the ACR the day ordering opened, including my NorCal track rat buds V10Lee, Darius and Chris (Rapidresultz).

I too got a call from Viper Concierge Service a few days ago, and I asked for an actual ship date. They said they'd call me back. Well, I just got the call back...

I'm in Frame Status, and about ready to enter Net Form and Pierce. She estimated an early October delivery! I've been expecting it in late November / December timeframe based on others' lead times, so this would be great. I've got a track event in October and another in November. The November one is at Laguna Seca, a pretty special event where we had 17 Vipers last year. It would be awesome to have the ACR for that.

Because mine is Stryker Orange, that could mean a funky delivery date, based on previous Stryker orders (including my 2013), so I'm not putting a lot of faith in October. Lowered expectations = happiness, lol.

I then asked her to explain all of the stages of the build. I wrote as fast as i could and hopefully didn't miss anything, but here's what I think it is:

Frame Status (Body panels are being painted at Prefix in parallel)
Net Form and Pierce
Chassis
Control arms
Engine
Transmission
Hubs
X-brace
Alignment
Wheels
Roll Test
Quality Check
Final
Interior
Body panels
Door trim
Quality Validation Testing
Headlights
Water booth
Emissions
Shaker Table
Prep and polish
Ship!

Props to Viper Concierge Service. Kate was very knowledgeable, polite, and took the time to answer all of my questions. This is a HUGE improvement over the lack of info back in 2013.

Hard to believe the 2016 ACRs are under construction, awesome

Great news Todd! I can't wait to see where mine is along in the process. I say whoever gets their ACR first in Nor Cal must have a viewing party immediately after delivery. None of us have seen one of these beasts in person yet and I simply can't wait!

That is the same number I received the call from. I didn't answer it the first time as I didn't recognize the number. Second time it called they left a message.

Wow that's exciting for you guys and the Viper community in general! Can't wait for these to become part of the public awareness of the brand

That's Awesome! another one locally :-) and your 'race track' will never be the same... let's hope for slow fall season so we can keep driving into November.

Yep, agreed! Let's plan on it.

Great News. I ordered Competition Blue and saw a new Jeep today which, I think was that color. It REALLY pops! Can't wait. Best to all. Allan
