The case for the Viper ACR
Posted: Fri Sep 23, 2016 8:15 pm
Wow. I have to admit, I was very skeptical of the hype the Viper ACR was getting, killing the 2016 Lightning Lap etc.
The argument to the Viper has always been: The Viper looks good, but will kill you and is impossible to live with. The Corvette is slower, but more a daily driver.

I kind of agree with this video based on the drive and comments. They are both supercars, but the Corvette was way less refined when it came to handling. It seems like they have traded the "This car will kill you" title. I was very surprised at the comments about how unstable the Corvette was. I was just as surprised at how planted and poised the Viper was.
I would say that if I won the lottery (The only way I would be able to own either) I would get the Viper. It looks insane, and seems to really handle well. It is loud, but I own earplugs, and this is not a car you would drive every day. It also has legitimate performance, so you aren't wearing earplugs because the car is fun, but not fast, it is really fast! Not to say that the Corvette won't get more dialed in, but, I have to hand it to Dodge, this thing is awesome.
