Official GEN IV ACR thread

[BlknBlu]

Are there any pictures comparing the two? I can't seem to tell the difference except the winglets.

The rear lip is a bit different on the 2. on the 10 as it gets to the winglets about 2 inches away it tapers down to nothing. The height along the rest of the lip is also different that the 08/09.

With all the attention the GEN V ACR gets, lets spark up some interest on the last of the Drivers ACR's with no nannies.

At least the GEN IV was a record holder on the Nurburgring.

Hopefully this resizes. My favorite viper I have ever owned by far. Definitely not getting rid of this one. As far as I know it is 1 of 2 SSG wide stripe ACR's 2010's in the states. There is one in Dubai and one that was destroyed on track a few years back. .

Toxic Orange (close enough to CopperHead)!
I'd take that over a Gen-V any day!

Love the Violet ACRs. Almost bought one from Roanoke when I got my red one. I wish I would've seen one in person before making my decision.

Well that would make sense, somewhat of a Ford Guy myself but I look at the Viper as being a glorified Mustang.

That statement just about made me puke.

HaHa, I knew someone wouldn't like it. It is however very true. I love working on my own cars and my statement is very accurate.

In this photo is my #2viper ever in the reverse ssg ring car! #1 is the reverse silver black ring car. I love the G5 extremes but to me they don’t compare to the G4 ACRs. G4s have gauges, no traction control, better visibility when driving, and look better when seen from offset rear... IMHO. What an amazing collection of G4s!!! I own a silver with black band as that is as close to my number 1 car I could get!

Btw is that the actual back up ring car?

Bruce, what do the cars weigh without 2 people? lol How heavy of people are they?

[Steve M]

Oil capacity needs to be changed to 11 quarts before someone sees 10 quarts and blows their engine faster than a Gen 5 rolling off the factory floor.

Redline also needs to be changed from 6,250 to 6,400.
