Perhaps You’ve Been Curious As To Recent Viper-Related Nurburgring Activity

According to my friends at WeLiveInOurParentsBasementAndTalkAboutRacingOnTheInternet.com, the Viper ACR is currently the 'Ring record holder, having beaten the Lexus LF-A's 7:14 mark.

It seemed suspicious that nobody had wasted a perfectly decent trip to Europe attacked the North Shu-Life-Uh lately, and our suspicions were confirmed when "DriveSRT" released the above video…

That's right, the Viper ACR-X now has the record, at 7:03. But wait! The Viper ACR-X isn't a street car. Or is it? There are several states where it would be no problem to register an ACR-X for street use. So maybe it does have the record, assuming you exclude various Radicals and whatnot. This car ran a 6m11s wayyyy back in the day, and we know it is a street car, because it says "Racing" on it. Or something like that. Seriously though, the Dauer 962 was street-legal, and there probably wasn't that much difference between this 956 and a Dauer. It's all very confusing.

What's important, from a promotional perspective, is that you watch this video and then run out to buy a brand-new Viper. Did you know that you can buy a brand-new Viper? Now you do.

Here at TTAC, we didn't actually make it all the way through the video, but we did notice that the ACR-X is simply too fast to take Fuchsrohre flat out. Scary, impressive, fun, and irrelevant all at the same time. Now, if you excuse us, we are off to find $106,000, starting by looking in the cushions of the couch we've been using to sit on while we argue about 'Ring times on the Internet.
