Re: ACR 7.22 at the Ring.
Awesome!
Not to take anything away from the driver (it must be nigh-impossible to get a perfect lap of the 'ring in without a manufacturers resources), but the time is even more impressive since it can obviously be improved upon significantly. If I ever meet the guy who did that, drinks are on me. Anyone know any details of the run? The tires sounded rather loud, but I assume they were PSCs? Was the car lowered? I did hear what I thought was tire-fender contact. Edit: Nevermind, I didn't see the story here. Last edited by Grant; 08-27-2008 at 11:08 PM. |

Re: ACR 7.22 at the Ring.
That's a great run, but it's hard to believe that the driver was an experienced Viper Pilot. I would have like to have seen Mumford pilot that car......

Re: ACR 7.22 at the Ring.
This is a well deserved, if not overdue, 'Ring' accolade for the Viper. We all knew the Viper was more than capable and the one to beat but a documented 7.22 at the Ring leaves no doubt - even for naysayers. Props to team SRT for making this happen.

Re: ACR 7.22 at the Ring.
At the presentation tonight it was actually Coronel's 3rd lap in the Viper where he set that time....and all he'd asked for was a little adjustment on the shocks....pretty damn good if you ask me. Sure, half a day at the track and more laps might shave a few more seconds off that time....but it holds against the best GM could do with a hoard of support, engineers, etc.
The gauntlet may have been thrown by GM, but answered rather decisively if you ask me! Regards, Aaron
