Well, that is quite an interesting stripe configuration from Mark Trostle

[Murpowa]

No chance

LOL! Well, Mark squashed that fast

If your going to add a super charger, better test the motor to last 24 hrs of lemans without heat soak. I say no forced induction.

If there is a S/C in the works it would likely be for the street guys or drag race crowd, I would also be willing to bet that the developer would go to great lengths to insure heat soak was minimized.

Well I have a recent track record of being wrong so just because I had a forceful response means nothing LOL.

Any chance this teaser really is a TA 2.0 with driver stripes?

Attachment 7181

TA 2.0 has the normal front splitters like TA 1.0 has. You can clearly see in the illustration, that there is a full-width splitter under the bumper chin. Ala ACR.

I agree Mark, just not for the ACR.

No, the front splitters are different...

[mjorgensen]

No, the front splitters are different...

Those are extensions to the TA ones, the image for the ACR goes all the way across. so one piece design not 2 seperate parts.

[FLATOUT]

True but I think he meant Full width front splitter, not the seperate splitters with the exstensions.

[Canadian venom]

Hahahaha lots of speculations comes with great expectations...

[FLATOUT]

Hahahaha lots of speculations comes with great expectations...

I'm keeping my expectations very low lol

[SlateEd]

you may see sticker shock if they decide to put in an auto trans with paddle shifters.

Bruce

assuming it comes with sticker shock factor, it would totally defeat the purpose of AClubR... should call it AProR

Hey Mr I got mine for free, did you know that every generation before this one had a side gill that was NOT functional and was for looks only?

There sure is a lot of heat escaping from there....

[Policy Limits]

Show me were Ralph said that. If you have ever worked on a Viper and removed all of the body work in that area, which I have you'll see that it's used to vent underhood temps and always has been. It may be more functional on a Gen V but it was still functional on some level with the other gens.

He said it more than once. There's a video of him saying it and I posted in this thread a thumbnail photo of a Q & A where he said it. Or you can go on twitter and ask him for yourself. The point, however, is that styling and looks matter and not everything is exclusively about function and performance. Again, saying it looks good is a compliment to the car, not an insult to it.

Ignore him, he thinks he's much smarter than he is.

2.0 looks sexy as hell. Can't wait to see the ACR concept.

I have spoken with him personally on more than one instance and have owned and worked on Vipers for a long time, but I'm sure you have it all figured out.

Will compare IQ scores anytime you're ready pal.

Says the guy who bought a wannabe Ferrari lol. All the F car upkeep without the exclusivity, brilliant choice.

It's you're and Texas IQ guy

[Murpowa]

Sooooo, back to the intent of this thread, who thinks the potential ACR concept will mimick the GTS-R closely? (Six piston calipers, two piece rotors, <3000 lb curb weight or damn close and ~680hp)?

So do I

Oooooo.......that was a low blow

[Coloviper]

Maybe out of respect they don't call it an ACR. Leave that distinction for the prior beast. Time to move on from the past. Just call it a GT2 like the 98'. Either way, I expect Viper to make a HUGE splash at SEMA this year. As long as the parts do not come through MOPAR, then we may actually get them. Can't cancel all racing here there and the other side of the pond, to produce nothing of interest.
