VIPER ACR // LAPPING 'THE RING' IN 7:22.1

According to our friends at Autoblog, the Dodge Viper ACR, a car about as far from 'daily driver' as 'light' cigarettes are from healthy, has ran the ring in a crazy fast 7:22.1. Unofficial as it may be, we are not in the least bit surprised, I mean after all, the Viper ACR pack in a cool 600bhp and enough downforce to keep helium balloons in check. Should GM and Nissan rethink their supercar strategies? Maybe we all just need a break from this 'hot lap' business, get back to our roots, you know, how about an old fashioned drag race? Pit all the major automakers and their Nurburgring lapping, high horsepower, higher dollar supercars against one another, for a winner take all, no more excuses, 1/4 mile battle? What do you think? No, wait, didn't they already make that into a television show, I think they just left out the cool car bit though... // 08.27.2008
