I have two black ones on the assembly line as we speak. This 6 weeks is killing me. Have fun at One Lap!
The Viper ACR's are fantastic cars. Steve recently test drove one for Road and Track magazine. It was a comparison of all of the "big brother little brother" supercars.

I actually forgot that the GT3 RS was also in this comparison.

Yeah, I've got one.
Roc...and you thought getting in and out of the GT was tough. Wait until you are trying to scoot over those hot sills. Hope your back can take it.

Chris, I think they fixed that in the new models. The exhaust is out the back now.
You are right, it was the worst part of owning one before...
I never had an issue with my 06 because I could simply slide down the seat with the door open. The problem with the GT is that I would have to crawl under the door to get in when I parked the car close to another car.
Someone else posted pics on the Viperclub site of their new ACR, and it exactly the way I ordered mine. :biggrin

08 SRT-10 Vipers are side exhaust
Unless exhaust system is unique to the ACR (and i don't think so), 2008 Vipers are side exhaust. Side sill temps in my new 08 SRT-10 are much better/cooler than my 1998 GTS.

p.s, I gave you a sticky in the media section, so when the ACR review shows up I will copy that to the thread as well for all to enjoy. Thanks!
