How far would you go to stretch the potential of your favourite car?
Crowdsourced by some of the most determined fans in the world and put on the Nurburgring for nothing other than shits and gigs, this Dodge Viper ACR (Phase VX I) just blew everything else out of the water.
While the lap *only* certifies it as the fourth-fastest production car (pfft), it's still an awe-inspiring feat considering it went up against multi-million dollar hypercars. Though, as always, bureaucratic debate still rages on over the technicalities and legitimacies of each competitors times.Â
Not only did the 2017 model wash eight and a half seconds off its predecessor's 2011 lap time, but it also smashed several specific lap records including the fastest production car with a manual transmission, fastest rear-wheel drive production car, and the fastest time for an American production car.
While 2017 marks the end of the Viper production line, we can at least take solace in the fact that the Dodge Viper got a fitting farewell before its death.
