Thank you SRT and Dodge I LOVE my Viper and the new Gen 4!! You guys ROCK!
The ACR makes significantly more downforce than either aero package. The aero package wings are based on the ACR form but they are twelve inches narrower (cross/car) and do not have the Gurney kick up at the trailing edge.

The roadster aero package makes about the same downforce as a base coupe (roughly 170 lbs at 150 mph). The coupe aero package makes about 600 lbs of down force at 150 mph. The ACR makes 1000 lbs of DF at 150mph.

The ZR1 team has made some lofty claims about it's track performance. We'll have to wait and see what the production car does.
