Race-inspired Interior:
Based on the 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 interior, the Viper
SRT10 ACR goes a step further to satisfy what racers want:
the least weight possible. An optional "Hard Core" package
offers maximum weight savings by deleting the audio system,
underhood silencer pad, trunk carpet and tire inflator. The
radio is replaced by a lightweight cover that can be
configured to mount the included lap timer. The door
speakers are replaced by lightweight carbon-fiber panels.
The Hard Core package offers a 40 lb. weight savings and
provides ultimate street-legal race-ready performance.
World-class Ride and Handling: The all-new 2008 Dodge
Viper SRT10 ACR is specifically modified and tuned for track
performance. The ACR suspension includes coil-over racing
dampers from KW Suspensions that are adjustable for damping
and ride height. The shocks are two-way adjustable without
removing the wheels — a timersaver on the track — and they
include a large range for compression and rebound. The KW
dampers and forks are machined from solid aluminum billet,
feature spherical bearing mounts, and are optimized to
minimize weight and maximize performance.
The 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR features a new front
stabilizer bar for increased roll-stiffness. Lightweight
forged aluminum Sidewinder wheels are optimized by using
Finite Element Analysis to achieve a lower rotating unsprung
mass. Finished in gloss black paint, they wear Michelin
Pilot Sport Cup DOT-approved (street-legal) race tires,
providing enhanced grip on the track.
Track performance is maximized in the 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10
ACR via several weight-savings initiatives. The savings were
achieved with the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup Tires, Sidewinder
lightweight wheels and StopTech brake rotors. With the
aerodynamic and suspension elements, the 2008 Dodge Viper
SRT10 ACR is 40 pounds lighter than the Viper SRT10 coupe.
The optional Hard Core package further reduces the weight by
another 40 pounds, for a total weight savings of 80 pounds.
Benchmark Braking: The Viper SRT10 benchmark brakes
are taken to the next level in the 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10
ACR. StopTech two-piece, slotted lightweight rotors combine
with the Viper SRT10's Brembo calipers to reduce rotating
inertia and unsprung mass, improve brake cooling, and
significantly reduce fade even under extreme conditions. The
StopTech rotors feature a patented curved-fin design, a key
element in improving brake cooling. The StopTech brake
rotors combined with the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup Tires and
Sidewinder lightweight wheels combine to reduce 60 pounds of
unsprung, rotating mass. The 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR
stops from 60 mph in less than 100 feet. |
