    In reply to 2010 Dodge Viper ACR Debuts At Laguna Seca, Sets Lap Record

    I watched a beautiful older model Viper tear up an SCCA Autocross track this weekend. It showed sexy and powerful amongst a group of more power hungry Euro and Rice tuners. It was not the fastest thing through the torturous twisties that Autocross relies on, that was relegated to abnormally aspirated AWD's and BMW's. It was however, the best looking, best sounding stock monster there. The Viper made the sheer 'get to the gate' brake, punch, brake, punch look incredible, even when it overpowered itself and spun into the grass.

    Every test/review of the viper cite the crudeness as a negative. I guarantee they will also miss it when its gone. It wont be long before they start writing about the lack of a "pure" machine again. Computer aides are nice (especially on a daily driver) and they can make any driver feel talented, but they also steal much of the soul from a car.

    You are viper. You will be missed.

    @BRAWNDO_POWERED:
    They are really neat cars, for sure. I live in small town and have only seen one in person. I was sitting at a stop light, on cell phone (shame on me), when a Viper drove down the highway. I started yelling in my phone....."A Viper, A Viper". My girlfriend I was talking to freaked out. (My girlfriends don't understand my love of cars anyway).

    @skaycog was here: Hahaha I feel ya man. I always just go "Oooh" or "Damn!" and then put reality on hold for 5 or 10 seconds until the car goes by. I tell the girlfriend that at least it's a piece of machinery I'm lusting after and not a piece of something else..

    @iancoleTX: Yes, it's okay to lust after cars. Period. BTW, I'm not a guy. That's the main reason my girlfriends don't understand. My guy friends get it though.

    @skaycog was here: Same here, I yell out when I see something interesting ("oh shit, a Cobra... no, it's probably a clone... wait, can't be, it's a 289, OH MY GOD IT'S REAL!"). Mom is afraid I'll crash because I do it so often, but I force myself not to rubberneck in such instances.

    And so it goes . . . the most wildly ridiculous and over the top supercar ever built rides into the sunset. Leaving in its' wake a 7:22 lap of the Nurburgring (I like the Nurburgring decal on the lower right of the decklid) and pounding hearts everywhere. While not the most comfortable or easiest to drive, it was the most rewarding. A car that, when you got it just right, let you know with resounding speed and unrivaled ability.

    Farewell, king snake, farewell.

    Remember in Commander Keen where he had that hand held game system? ...you could take a break from fighting aliens and play a little Pong.

    No?

    Anyway, this would make for some real interesting 2 player action in GT5... Playing GT on PSP while riding shotgun in the car being driven on GT5.

    Dumb, sure... but no dumber than old Commander Keen games.
