Dodge Viper ACR: ZR1 and GT-R beater?

August 29th 2008 05:15
Dodge Viper ACR


The venomous Dodge Viper ACR has dislodged the Corvette ZR1 off the Nurburgring time charts with a jaw-dropping 7:22.10 run around the famous track - more than 4 seconds faster than what the ZR1 could muster back in June.


Piloted by FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) driver Tom Coronel, the Dodge Viper ACR was completely stock but fitted with the no-cost option 'Hard Core package' that sheds a further 40 pounds off the kerb weight with the elimination of the audio system, trunk carpet, rear cabin sound insulation, tyre inflator kit, bonnet insulator, and steel battery cover. The only non-standard item fitted to the car was a Racetech bucket seat with six-point harness for safety purposes.

Dodge Viper ACR


Whether this run is official or not, people will argue that the Dodge Viper ACR is essentially a race-track ready version of the stock Viper and barely road legal in stock form to fairly compete with the likes of the Corvette ZR1 and Nissan GT-R. Not unless these two also has access to adjustable aerodynamics and suspension, plus R compound tyres.

Lamborghini hanging on the wall

Lamborghini Countach on the wall


A US millionaire, Richard Moriarty, has decorated a wall in his new $2 million dollar on Newport Beach with a full-sized 1974 Lamborghini Countach.

Now that's some artwork!

The engine-less - removed and transformed into an 'exotic' coffee table - Lambo was maneuvered into the luxury pad through a skylight by a 70-tonne crane and into the living room before the black and red Countach was mounted onto a wall.

As you can imagine, getting the Lamborghini into the house was no easy task and took about an hour, not to mention the months of planning, but the results speak for themselves and it certainly is the coolest wallpaper we've ever seen!
