    Cool Pretty much sums up why I ordered my 2017 ACR E!

    I just love being one of a few to own the baddest beast on the planet!

    Sounds like the guy that said he bruised his shoulder and got PTSD from firing an AR-15. What with these "delicate flowers" that call themselves journalists?

    He compared the AR to a bazooka, because he is apparantly well versed in 50yr old anti tank weapons. What a jerk off that guy is

    And these auto journalists are such candy asses. They always have been when it came to the Viper. It only made me want one more. Now hopefully he can get back to writing about the Honda oddesy again. A real man's car : )

    this guy must never have compared the ACR side by side with any of the other cars he mentioned. He complains about its size, but in actuality, it is smaller than all of them. The new stingray looks like a pontiac aztec next to the new viper. Actually, I question if he actually drove it after making the comment the corvette makes him drive better. He is best suited to drive a Honda Civic or Prius.

    Does anything else need to be said?

    Robert Duffer is a writer, editor and teacher who has been covering cars at the Chicago Tribune since 2013. Though he’s schooled in butterfly valves and cleaning battery nodes with a toothbrush, his most enduring automotive lesson was imparted by his father, who would speed up to nice cars and say "Don't look. Don't give the jerk the satisfaction." Duffer is an award-winning creative writer and essayist whose work has been broadcast on Chicago Public Radio and published in The New York Times and Canadian Builders Quarterly. An adjunct at Columbia College Chicago, where he earned his MFA,Duffer owns a Subaru Forester. His favorite car was his 2002 Honda Odyssey; his daughter’s favorite car was "the truck," a 2014 Ram EcoDiesel Crew Cab; his son's favorite car was the "Tes-a-la" Model S. His dad is the jerk driving the ’68 Ford Mustang.

    Doesn't sound like he drove the ACR. It sounds like he rehashed the old Gen II journalists of yore. Most journalists and race car drivers including Randy that have driven the car have said how tamed and predictable the ACR is compared to the older Vipers. More idiotic hyperbole as usual.

    Haha, what a joke. This si why I love the Viper, it keeps the weak at heart away. He states "The Viper wasn’t made for average drivers such as myself. I like cars that make me feel like a better driver than I am: the Lamborghini Aventador, McLaren 570S, Porsche 911, BMW M2, the Corvette — anything but a Viper, it seems."

    Go buy a Prius.

    He said, effectively, "I like cars that do the work for me because I can't do it myself with my glaring lack of testicles." By the way I mean testicles in the editorial sense. I know we have some ladies here who are as tough as any guy out there and I give them full respect for that.

    What a candy ass.

    I'd be willing to gamble that this ass has never had his ass behind the wheel of any of these cars.

    I've always wanted to build an Odyssey Type-R. Probably on the now three generation old van with CL Type-S V6 and 6-speed manual swap, six racing buckets, stripped of sound deadening, lexan windows...would be fun to take friends around the track in!
