Non Extreme ACR

[Brad00GTS]

Anyone on the boards that has a non extreme ACR. I am debating whether I need the extreme with the few track days I have. The performance shouldn't be too far off from the extreme should it?

Do you regret not going extreme.

Any input would be helpful.

do not skimp on the E package! You will kick yourself. The car will be worth that much more because that's what people want. I got the E.

Brad,

If for nothing else I'd get the E version for the resale value. It comes with the non-Extreme splitter in place. Unless you put the extreme splitter and diffuser extensions on it, it'll be just as practical as a non-extreme ACR.

At the track, I suspect that performance will be measurably reduced. Without the diffuser extensions and larger wing, you'll lose downforce in the rear. Without the extra canards, extreme splitter and wheel housing hood vents removed, you'll lose front downforce. I don't recall if you get the CCM brakes with the non-extreme model, but I love mine both on the street for their lack of dust, and on the track for their amazing stopping power. I guess it depends on how important these are to you.

stop it...JUST STOP IT!!! GET THE E!!!

Haha, I'm with Boba Fett

You can get the CCM's with the non extreme.

It's the cheapskate CPA in me, I'm trying to save where I can. I need to be practical

[Boba Fett]

you need to be practical and you think you are by buying a Viper ACR non-E

I will not consider a non extreme. I don't even know why it was offered personally.

Just my thoughts.

[Camfab]

As you know, there isn't anything practical about Viper ownership. As noted above, the odds are stacked in favor of a higher percentage of return on the sale of an Extreme. Even though the non extreme is likely plenty of car for your needs, but the Extreme makes better financial cents ��. As a CPA you have other option but to buy the Extreme.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

If you look at current dealer inventories, the E's appear to be selling much quicker. That seems to further support it is a better investment. If the CPA in you is having a battle, the depreciation comparison might have the non 'E' as the more expensive car to own in the long run.

Agreed with what is said above too. I don't see why Dodge even built the non E. It looks just like a TA 2.0 to me. I get there are differences underneath, but I'd like it to be discernible for my money.

The only performance difference between the two models is the aero/downforce, and it's not that great. I can't imagine track times being much different for most drivers. Some (very few on this forum) want a high performance machine with more of an understated look.

ACR
1101 @ 150
1533 @ 177

ACR-E
1200+ @ 150
1700+ @ 177

Yep and I choose the standard ACR due to the mods I'm about to undertake to make it more into a racing purpose Viper than a looker. Can't go wrong with either one. When in doubt, go with the ACR-E....these are difficult third world problems to have.

I did it at NVE 2 this weekend and freaking love it the E

Hi Brad,

Gotta go with the "E". The wing is taller and out of the rear hatch's field of view..!
Its a safety thing, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

If that's the case, people above, and in many other threads (and my opinion as well) already made it clear the E will have much higher resale value. So the $6900 option price for the Extreme version is the sound decision if you are concerned about resale value on a $150K depreciating asset. lol
If you are that much of a tightwad CPA that doesn't care about lap times, why are you even considering an ACR at all? The base car is MUCH MUCH cheaper.

Love it...but the standard ACR wing doesn't block the rear view at all. But just to be safe(r) may as well go with the ACR-E.

[Brad00GTS]

Ok, guys, I think I might have just gone with the exteme, I'll let you know in a few.

[ViperTony]

Ok, guys, I'm DEFINITELY going the exteme, I'll let you know in a few.

Excellent decision!

LMAO...like the others said below. Seriously though, if you are trying to save where you can, the ACR-E will make you more money in the long run.

you need to be practical and you think you are by buying a Viper ACR non-E

LMAO this meme almost made me spit my drink up. That dog is hilarious. He's telling the kid, "Hahahahahahah...you're a dumb kid...but please continue!"

[Taximan1]

There is no way I would buy an ACR, and not get an extreme. Go for it !!!

[catwood]

Get the extreme....and you know who to shop.

[ClayR]

And MR. CPA, lease the damn car the first 3-4 years and write that whole payment off! Then buy it after the lease it up. Can you write off that expensive of a lease payment? That is what I was wanting to do. I have an LLC to lease it under.
