[serpent]

Not sure how much these F5 Daytona Coupes weigh, wouldnt be surprised if they were under 2800lbs.

With those long sweepers the ACR is going to have the advantage all day!! But I'm curious if the coyote engine was built at all or just stock.

She mentioned it was stock , probably the most under rated production V 8 .......
I believe it's good for 550 hp in NA Form

Yah there is a youtube series from Snap-on showing this build. Its pretty cool kit from Factory Five.

Was it me, or where these guys missing the turn in, apexes and track out points by 2-6 feet pretty much on every corner?

Yea I noticed they were 2 feet away from the rumble strips.

Cool video, cool format. I've always said that we need a format that tests cars on the same tire, as they have been doing with sportbike comparo's for years. Also great to get two owners, with significant track experience, and let them have the day (and maybe even a couple sets of tires) to see what their best times are. Now let's see ACR vs. GT2RS, 720S, FGT, Performante -- all on same tires and see what's what.

And then didn’t use all the track on turn in or exit. Neither driver was very good at all. Some who has driven that track should comment, but I have to believe the ACR could be at least 5 if not 10 secs faster.

Since they had to use Nitto NT-01's, I'm wondering what size tires were on the Viper. Fronts looked like they had substantially more sidewall height over the Kumho's.
