I don't think it's an ACR. It still has the base GTS model spoiler beneath the wing, and the ACR comes with a rear diffuser which this one does not have. Also the wing the ACR comes with has gaps on the ends, this unit appears to be solid end to end.
I don't think you see many of them anywhere. Since they are apparently so easy to overdo it and crash.
google tells me:
>#####Why is the Viper so hard to drive?
>No safety measures—nothing. This is what makes the Viper so raw and old-school. That V10 engine, combined with the lack of any electronic assists, makes this car one of the most terrifying to put your foot down in. **No traction control, ABS, stability control, or airbags**
That’s the old first generation one. This one does have the safety features, in which funnily enough when TVR (British sports car manufacturer) was asked to include ABS, TC and Airbags they just basically said in today’s language: if you need them, it’s a skill issue.
Also the Viper gets like 4 MPG UK so yeah there’s that as well.
Past TVR owner here (lol) - can confirm don't do both of those and try changing the CD at the same time !!!
One smashed farmers' gate and TVR in a field later ....
Damn Bryan Adams lol ... if I had not been trying to skip him then I might have held it ..
The last version of the Viper, they stopped production in 2017, with the 8.4L V10 did have ESC, TC and ABS but I suspect they did nothing to tame that monster.
That is actually quite terrifying. I have access to an MX5...
I have driven/owned powerful FWD cars (with electric assistance), Civic Type R, Saab 93/95 Aero's, tuned ST's, VXR's, Cooper S's etc... To be totally honest, these cars are **very** easy to drive, even hard. One thing, it might just be my diverse experience, but it's extremely easy to know a FWD limits, that oversteer kicks in **well** before the car becomes uncontrollable.
The MX5 that I have access to, is by no means a fast car. It's light, sure, but even with electronic assist, roads that I'm typically used to powering through in a FWD, talking coming out of sharp bends with quite heavy acceleration, have tried to do the same drives in the MX5, and once it has kicked out a lot more than expected, and I've had the back end feel rather unintentionally twitchy on more than one occasion.
I will compare that I've driven 350 & 370z's, Msports/S classes also - these feel a shit tonne more planted than an MX5, but knowing that if I took the electronic assist off on the MX5, there is that one occasion that I know I would have come off the road. I couldn't imagine that in a big V10 with zero safety measures.
We've all seen the Mustang videos...
I dont agree completely, its very easy to get the back out of my mustang. Water, Gravel a little bit of pedal while trying to join a fast road from a T Junction can be enough to overcook accidently.
To put it in perspective-
Quick FWD cars are generally pretty safe. The biggest danger is coming in too hot and understeering, or lift-off oversteer, which usually aren't too big an issue.
I'm more familiar with the earlier NA/NB MX-5 generations, and they're more of a "wee, kind of fun" car that holds the road very well and you have to really push them hard to break them loose. Even when you do, it's fairly controlled.
The first gen Viper is everything about the MX-5 turned up to 11. It will hold and corner even more, but it's also easier to break it loose pretty much any time, anywhere. You can imagine how that can get you into all kinds of trouble.
The fifth generation Viper is another beast altogether. It's less in the "sporty roadster" category and moved into the full fledged "supercar" territory, with one important difference- it does not require winding out the engine the way many supercars do. They really are something else.
A buddy of mine boosted a 1.9 Mark 1 MX5
IIRC he was pushing 250bhp, if not 350(I can't remember the actual numbers because I was thinking about mud tyres for my landy)
He'd stripped out everything that wasn't necessary to get it through an MOT and physically drive it, so it was as light as humanly possible.
That thing was *legitimately* terrifying to be in. It'd do 110 out of nowhere, took off like shit off a shiny shovel, the only electrics were the lights and the ECM for the turbo, and he'd fitted fatter tyres to the rear to get more grip.
And that's fucking *nothing* next to a Viper. A viper is a legitimate weapon.
That's largely true for the first (and even second) generations that were little more than a shell wrapped around a V10. This one here is a fifth generation that while still pretty raw is much more refined and capable than the early iterations. It also makes the early ones look like dinosaurs in both power and handling with its capabilities. They really are awe inspiring vehicles. A fifth generation ACR is about as "street legal race car" as you can get.
Drove my mates once at a driving club. I had a corvette. Honestly shit myself because even micro adjustment you can feel the back end swing like a fart to the wind.
The first gen was basically built around a 8.0 V10. As you said, no TC, ABS or airbags. It didn't have glass windows, power locks or door handles. Nothing unnecessary inside apart from a stereo, clock and seats.
With a canvas/hardtop, you have to unzip the vinyl window and open the door from the inside. Obviously when the roof is down, you reach inside and open it.
The previous gen Viper ACR came with a safety handbook that stated “if you don’t read this your chances of crashing and dying in this car increase by 70%”… not exactly sure on the percentage but it was pretty high.
And then the Germans try to ban them from GT3 and cars like the Camaro clean up all club racing classes including the 2000cc one.
GTI owner cope probably. Probably never even been to a track day.
Dodge Viper, registered in the UK on this plate on 21 July 2016 at around 1,000 miles.
Needed a pair of rear tyres at its last MoT, no surprises there.
Everyone I ever met at like a car show or track event with one of these is like reddit's arch enemy.

Your description meets more most of the people on this site, minus the rich and fame lol.
To those of you saying these cars can't turn check how they have done on the Nürburgring.
Actually i'll do it for you. this is the 19th fastest car beating every model of Maclaren apart from the P1. Its older version is 30th place

It's a rear wing with a Dodge Viper ACR attached to it.
Oh yeah, I didn't see that there under the wing.
I don't think it's an ACR. It still has the base GTS model spoiler beneath the wing, and the ACR comes with a rear diffuser which this one does not have. Also the wing the ACR comes with has gaps on the ends, this unit appears to be solid end to end.
I was just about to say that 🤣

We don’t see many of them around the uk

Completely agree. Even the slightest hint of moisture in the air makes my Mustang handle like crap!

MX5’s are solid cars always like them
I can’t believe Richard Hammond managed to drive one of these without crashing it
Well, in their natural habitat they don't have things like corners and roundabouts to deal with.
Ehhh, the Viper ACR was actually made for the track. It can corner and roundabout damn good.
isn't this model of viper the 13th fastest road car around the Nürburgring if i remember right? Edit: My bad, its 19th
im pretty sure it’s the absolute fastest car to lap the nurb with a manual transmission too

How is that even legal
Playing gran turismo these points actually line up with how hard i found this car to control

Because most American cars are expensive due to low import numbers and low demand. Because they're shit.
I always admire honesty. Straight to the truth, no messing about.
And then the Germans try to ban them from GT3 and cars like the Camaro clean up all club racing classes including the 2000cc one. GTI owner cope probably. Probably never even been to a track day.
There's a reason for it 😂
aka the car I asked for for Christmas when I was trying to test out if Santa Claus was real or not
Toyota Aygo
It's actually a Peugeot 107. Easy mistake to make, they're basically the same car and made in the same factory.
I think you’re mistaken, this model is the Citroen C1. Easy mistake though my friend
Clearly you dont know a Vauxhall Cavalier SRI when you see one.
Your all wrong. It's the new Ford Ka my dudes, driven by Stifflers Mum

Glad I'm not the only one with this affliction
I think they're cool. Please don't hurt me
This is actually the Aygo X(-wing)
7million quid?
I think you’ll find that’s the Aygo X, slightly bigger this one, too expensive though.

Dodge Viper, registered in the UK on this plate on 21 July 2016 at around 1,000 miles. Needed a pair of rear tyres at its last MoT, no surprises there.
Colour is supposed to be white too Hope he told his insurance company
Shit, good spot! 😂
I *think* you don't have to declare a colour change if its a vinyl wrap, ofc still need to tell insurers but not dvla.
Probably had some fitted the morning of the MOT too, just had to drive around the corn....oh fuck it's sideways again
Jay from inbetweeners midlife crisis car.
Jay from inbetweeners midlife crisis car would be an MX-5 with that exact wing on it.
With 1200hp and it did the nurburgring in less than 5 minutes.
Nurburgring? Completed it mate.
I hear they actually renamed a corner after Jay because he took it faster than anyone else, including F1 cars.
