The VCA and SRT are very proud to present...

I suspect it is an error as WAY too many articles are showing it starting under $100K. Already have a couple calls/e-mails to confirm, but I would definitely relax for now...

What exacty is the $1700 adjustment??

That's what happens when we get too excited about the ACR. They jacked up the price to 110K. So much for the false marketing!

THE SKY IS FALLING, THE SKY IS FALLING!!

C'mon guys, haven't you EVER done a typo before? I just spoke with the folks at SRT and they are frantically trying to get the Internet guys to pull that pricing off there as it is absolutely positively 100% BOGUS. Apparently as somebody was building that option in they had no pricing yet (it has NOT been announced) and just stuck some numbers in as place markers. Guess they didn't understand how that works when it comes to marketing. IT guys - go figure. Unfortunately, they are a rather big company and have 37 people to go through to get the change made. But I suspect it won't last the morning.

Oh, and just as an FYI: The final ACR pricing has NOT been determined, however they have assured us that the sub-$100K mark is firm for the starting price. Now back to your regularly scheduled program...

First there was the so-called Canadian "hack". Now they are frantically trying to get some internet guys to pull the pricing. Only a bunch of nitwits will test on their client-facing systems?

Would they like to hire me to manage their back-end I.T. infrastructure? I have almost 20 years of experience and they seem to be school graduates. I will even reduce their costs by 50% in the process and they can pass the savings to Viper buyers.

Aaarrgh! I can't say enough about the incompetence in I.T.

I believe that's the gas guzzler tax. This tax was reduced from about $3,100 for the 2006 models due to increased fuel economy in the 2008 models.

I called early this morning, also , and frankly this is nothing new with any of the large websites ( GM, Ford, Dodge, Toyota , etc. ). The proliferation of products over the last few years , often means there is some miscommunication or a misprint. What has occurred a couple of times in the past, is an option code or price increase is added twice, suggesting someone missed that such information was already in the base price.

Chris has posted correct data, and though there have been some minor glitches this year, even on ordering, they got rectified very, very, quickly.

Logic states there may have been confusion on the Aero Package and the ACR package for the uniformed. Wouldn't surprise me that they didn't add both packages to the price of an ACR, thinking this was in addition too a set price, but I am sure it will all be according to Hoyle real soon.

Hang in there Viperholics!!!

The $1700 is the adjustment for the prior $3000 gas guzzler tax --- lowered due to an increase in gas mileage, overall, for 2008.

Need more info on acr. Seems like it came and went. Need to keep it in the headlines.

It's lasted quite a few mornings, afternoons, evenings and nights. I think it's here to stay.

What a shame! As the price currently stands at 110K, my ACR order has been cancelled.

I like going for a ride, not being taken for a ride.

[xlr8ion]

At 110k I will be forced to cnx my order also.That is gt3 price territory.

[Y2K5SRT]

Guys, the pricing listed is absolutely 200% wrong. This is straight from SRT themselves, not some web geek that can't do math and not some VCA guy that has ZERO reason to make it up.

Now I can't control what they have on their website and apparently they can't either. The web dorks basically DOUBLED the prices for the Aero Group and the ACR package by mistake. Apparently it takes an act of God to get it changed back. Regardless, IT IS WRONG. But hey, if you are just looking for an excuse to back out of the performance car deal of the century, be my guest. Just don't come crying back here when they do change the price to the correct one and aren't accepting any more orders. Your loss, not mine.

I just canceled my 2008 SRT order for a $55,000 ACR!

But seriously, what's the major concern here? Why make such an issue over a website inaccuracy? Are you concerned that the slack website administration is somehow indicative of ACR quality production?

Although, I DO get a kick out of Chris's frustration! Muhahaha

At $90K, $100K, or $110K the car is still a bargain. If that little of a price swing is your concern you probably shouldn't be buying a car at this price point.

Additonally, this ACR will spank a new GT3, it should be compared to the GT3RS, and if you can buy a new GT3RS (from a PCAR dealer) for the price of the 08 ACR, I will personally give you $10K over for it and $25K over if its orange.

Just My .02

I don't think that's your .02, it's your 10K.
