    From what I gather biggest benefit would be straight line stability and it cleans up the rear aero profile helping the back stick..Looking at my TA the underside is already pretty flat and I'm sure it doesn't generate much lift..

    Don't think anybody posing..
    I don't want anybody to think my cars a ACR, but I would not mind using some of the factory engineered parts to make my car faster or better equipped.
    The aftermarket support for Vipers isn't the strongest.
    These aren't Hondas home boy

    Agreed. I have no desire for an ACR, but some of it's performance goodies would make our lowly SRTs and GTSs even better still!

    I think a T/A the ACR rear diffuser will look MEAN.

    What would the rear diffuser do to the top speed?

    Not much I think
    Now that huge wing though, that's another story.
    Keep in mind the diffusers intent is to be as close to the ground as possible..that may make it a tough aero part to live with in street use.

    The removable hood louvers and reduced air pressure is an interesting addition. It looks like this is more of a ViperExchange/Riley development. The GTS-R's that ran in the 2014 Tudor did not have these vents. Also the GT3-R for sale on the driversrt website does not have these. Looks to be more recent with the TI cars...either way, it looks like Dodge is getting R&D from all programs to make this a true race beast!

Usually, the bite and braking are better with steel brakes and good pads, but the problem with steel is that they get hotter with each lap and begin to fade eventually. That is what the carbon addresses, they don't fade. The added benefit of the carbon is the lower rotating mass of them.

    I'd like the suede wrapped steering wheel and the diffuser on my car.
    Yea, that's it, the pads! They must have been driving hard because a z28 is a good 300lbs more than a c7z.
    this is just what I remember reading at CF.

    I wonder how much carbon rotors weigh, if I was a hard core track guy on a budget I would settle for two piece rotors, better pads and better fluid swap.

    Carbon rotors weigh about 30% less than steel. Allan

    With the suspension giving 3" of height adjustment, you could set it high for street so the aero parts don't scrape of bang, and drop her for track duty. I'd bet if you did the splitter etc and didn't do an adjustable suspension ride height you'd be hating life quickly on some streets.

    Just to remind everyone that carbon ceramic brakes were discussed in development for the Gen V, but SRT was able to achieve their performance goals with steel brakes. To get the same performance out of carbon ceramic brakes, an increase in wheel diameter was necessary, negating the weight saving from the rotor.

    Naturally, I was looking for the article to reference, but I can't find it. All the same, that explains the 19-inch front wheel. I can't wait to see the numbers from this car.

    If the past is any indication of how Mopar will price the ACR parts you might be better off buying the whole car!

    ^^^This^^^. I seem to remember Gen IV ACR aero was crazy expensive if bought separately for the first couple of years.

    Wont those vents over the front tires get water every where?

    That is why they are removable more than likely just for the track days. You will even have rocks flying out of them.

    Interesting, nobody has mentioned what I think will turn into the most purchased item, the tires, we have been given another non-Pirelli tire option with these new Khumo's . After collecting nails in two back tires in non-fixable places and while I do appreciate the low prices offered the club through the end of the year, another tire option would be great. These must be very sticky to be selected as the OEM option on the ACR. Just hope they make an 18" option for the front for the rest of us.

    I wish they would have used a 315 on that 11" front rim and had a little more sidewall height also, Hoosier R7's come in the 315/345 sizes you would need and will likely be cheaper than the branded Kumhos (I love Kumhos though!).

    For the question about CCM rotor weight, The CCM rotor in the press photo shows MIN. WEIGHT 5966g ...DG016_063VP1ugjuudffl6f5um2o4dcdn01j0.jpg
