Big ol’ honking V-10 up front, oil-drum tires out back. You can dispute how it delivers performance. (Relevant descriptors: crude, incorrigible, [flesh searing]()). But nobody can dispute the performance itself. Especially not now. Dodge has confirmed that, during benchmarking, the new track-focused Viper ACR set 13 production car lap records at race circuits across America. *Thirteen*. That’s so many lap records. For your consideration, three quick points: The Porsche 918 Spyder costs $848,000. The Dodge Viper ACR costs $122,490. The Viper ACR is faster than the 918 Spyder around Laguna Seca. ![110515\_dodgeviper\_art.jpg]() **Dodge** You’re looking at what’s possibly the best bang-for-buck sports car. Ever. And a firebreathing lap-record rampage is fitting punctuation to the Viper’s production run, which is probably [ending soon](). The ACR has a big wing and hateful demeanor, sure. But more important is the egalitarianism therein, a thing that stinks like Detroit and, with enough *cajones* behind the wheel, wipes the floor with Euro supercars for a relative pittance. https://youtube.com/embed/pLuXFrsePXE ### Author social links [Twitter]()
