Dodge Viper ACR (2014)

The Dodge Viper exploded to the scene in the late 90s, and hasn’t really changed a lot since then. Even so, it was quite sad to hear that, at the end of 2017, it would. be put out of production. This was so dodge could make way for the Dodge Demon in their lineup. However, I am not here talk about the demon. I’m here to talk about the Viper, in this case the 2014 Dodge Viper ACR. 

There have been many versions of the Dodge Viper ACR since it began. But the look that we know and love today really started with the 2008 version. A later version of the normal viper body, badass scary put events, a badge that is a brake light, and a massive wing are just some of the features that make this car so cool to look at. 

The ACR versions from 2008 and 2014 May not be the fastest Vipers, actually the slowest in the entire range of new vipers, but they are definitely the coolest. The reason that it  is slower than the other vipers, at least the newer versions, is because of the massive GT spoiler wing at the back. The swing provides down force. That means it forces the car into the track for better handling. This makes the car very adept at turning, and as it was meant as a race car, this is something that you want. The car is interior is pretty good for such a loud car. The seats are nice, steering wheel has just the right amount of grip, and the pedals aren’t too clunky. Nor is the gearshift. While it is hard, you can find this car in an automatic gearbox if you are an idiot. If you end up purchasing the automatic version, you are inferior scum that deserves to be wiped off the face of the earth. Seriously though, this car is much worse as an automatic. It was a really stupid decision of dodge to even release is one. If you not have enough talent to drive a manual car, then you have no right owning the 2014 Dodge Viper ACR.

I mentioned before the car was extremely loud. It is. Very very very loud. It’s the loudest viper stock you can buy. The car has a massive engine that sends so much power to  the wheels that it feels absolutely insane. This car takes off like a rocket. Take off can be so brutal in fact, that the seats actually had to be reshaped from the previous ACR versions, just so the driver’s neck wouldn’t snap. Seriously insane stuff. 

The car can go from 0 to 60 in 3.3 seconds. That might not sound like a lot, especially when compared to the Dodge Demon that can do it in 2.3 seconds, but this car is excel ration is so mind meltingly fast, that it might feel like 1.1 seconds. Has 600 pounds of torque per foot, as well as near-perfect steering control. The car comes with some seriously awesome tires and 645 horse power from a 8.4 Liter V 10 engine. You can pick up a 2014 model for about $88,000. Or the 2017 version for Around $90,000. And that’s without all the optional extras.

So what are you waiting for? Go ride in one today, And go buy one, if you can, before It disappears from the general market market, to make way for the dodge demon.
