    I certainly hope that they are not forced to weave through traffic on a record attempt like the video shows. Didn't they arrange a private rental?

    I totally agree with you about Russ and how the new ZR1 will hold up against the ACR....Indeed a great time for us true enthusiasts.

    Test and tune on regular days and then with fully tuned in cars go for best lap times with clear track. I think that is the intent.

    I believe it's likely that the track may be booked out for tomorrow and Friday for the Vipers as there does not seem to be any events booked on the ring website for the next 2 days during 9-5pm...

    Damn this is awesome...the weather looked great on the webcam today.

    Is that scrapping noise I'm hearing as the Viper goes through the corner the front splitter?

    could be the the diffusor scrakes which are designed to bottom out during cornering.

    Man that's a dead serious, mean mug on that Viper in the Instagram pic above. Take a bite out of that Bull's time Stryker...

    Pretty sure ACR-X was running 7:03's.....street ACR was 7:12

    Gen 5 has better gearing, better 5th gear ratio, better tires, repaved track, more hp and way better aero. Yes, it is very possible with the correct track conditions to go 20 seconds faster.

    You're right. So either way, production Gen V ACR-E needs to run 20 seconds faster than the production version of the Gen IV ACR

    It needs to be 30 seconds faster to beat the time of the McLaren P1 LM (6.43.xx).

    I don't think that would be considered a production car....its a race car that gets street legalized by an outside vendor IIRC.

    You are correct. Apparently it is modified after initial production by an non OEM firm so it would not qualify as a production car. Still blazing fast though.
