McLaren 675LT vs Dodge Viper ACR

McLaren needs twin turbos to keep up with Viper, also nearly double the cost EVEN in Europe

dodge sold the viper logo and put it to better use, in the end it's all about profit margin.

Take it from the man who races- this Viper's performance is just the beginning. Dodge has made a car truly adjustable adaptable for all tracks, drivers , weather, etc. But its after market support is the damnation of ALL other sports cars. Many people in and out of Dodge have expertise with Vipers for a long time. Parts selection is vast. $5,000 in parts and I've got 200 more horsepower within 3 days.

while Acr is only fast around a track

Why would you even say that? What notion gives you the thought in thinking the ACR is only fast around track? Do you understand how fast a low 11 high 10s car is? Unless your driving an NHRA Dragster as your daily driver, You cant say that, Simply because it isnt as fast as a 675LT in acceleration, In NO way means it is only fast around a track, That is absolutely retarded.

Thats like saying a a GT3 RS 4.0 is only fast around track because its slower in acceleration then an R8 GT.....

@ Good Gamer
I hear you but if money was not an object i would get the trinity and the McLaren one that cost 3million plus. I think i should be ok with that.....
:)

But remember the downforce figures of this car is nothing when compared to Gt3 car and F1 Gtr,s and Group C car according to motortrend. By the way as a supercar I would prefer 675 Lt because it is fast both in straight line and track while Acr is only fast around a track

Because large spoilers and splitters (ones that really make significant downforce) are almost always ugly. There are exceptions of course.

Sure they make the car look more aggressive and performance-oriented, but they are not artistic by any means.

Fastestlaps why does it have to be ugly spoiler and ugly stick-out front splitter? Why can't it be a beautiful pink spoiler and splitter........ :D

Juggz you said
-It beak down or overheat, stock one already did when cupgang tried 5 laps at thermal.
If you watch cupgang you will see Alejandro uses the Viper more on the track than any other car he has. Why? one of the reason is because he said it COST the least...... So he don't care if something happens to it. Second reason is because he believes the Viper will help him be better around the track. Watch his shows that is exactly what he said. This is from someone who owns very expensive cars.
Also he had the 675LT and said if it beats all cars it competed against that he would keep it. As we know it didn't beat the viper acr.
Don't get me wrong i love the Mclaren but the viper is cheaper to maintain period.

There, retarded kid went full emo. Don't be talking about how cheap ACR is for people who own 5 cars matter of fact don't be talking about how cheap ACR is period try owning one in europe or any continent. No one gives a shit why they get them just to let them sit in the garage 99% of them are racing drivers wanna be. I like to actually drive cars and drive them fast for extended periods of time.

@juggz So you think people who buy Porsche 911s, Lamborghinis, Ferraris and McLarens also dont have other cars as well?? You think people drive these cars every single day of the week? You're an idiot. But a matter of a fact you are not even an idiot, you are just a troll, because you keep bringing up irrelevant arguments in a comparison about performance which is the epitome of trolling,

They do it on 1 track to claim a basic handling performance number not to prove them selves.. you're a fool, people who buy these things already have 5 other cars and no they can't drive vipers to their potential stop talking out your ass go to a track day and see which convenient cars the track is filled with.

@juggz:"You know a manufacture is desperate when they take a car to like 15 tracks just to push some headlight numbers. " Ok so I guess its fine for Porsche Ferrari BMW and Nissan to do it. But when Dodge do it too, all of a sudden its stupid. And honestly, the rest of your comment is absolutely foolishness. 15 laps before you have to refuel? What are you talking about?? This is a street legal production car first and foremost. Not an actual full race car. Not too many people decided on which supercar to buy based on how many laps it can do on one tank of fuel.
"yeah when it's in the garage and the owner who can't drive it brags on the internet." And why wouldn't an owner be able to drive it? Vipers have been fairly reliable cars, not to mention it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to fix like a Ferrari or a McLaren does should you have an issue with it.

You know a manufacture is desperate when they take a car to like 15 tracks just to push some headlight numbers. People don't buy these things that much because they're just inconvenient just look up reviews for example standard model returns 12 mpg urban good luck getting more than 5 mpg with the shit drag pack on full throttle. You take it to a track day lets say you're faster than car X by 5 seconds a lap the car has a 16 gallon gas tank on a track like thermal it can do less than 15 laps before you have to refuel, refueling takes what 5 mins ? what about brakes tires heat traffic it's much easier to over take in a strait line you get what I'm trying to say ? BUT BUT THIS HANDLES! DODGE HOLDS RECORDS! IT WHOOPS SOME HYPERCAR ASS! yeah when it's in the garage and the owner who can't drive it brags on the internet.

@juggz Your comments on this particular comparison are really all over the place. This started out as a performance comparison obviously. But you bring up stuff like the viper emits too much carbon. Do you even know what the Viper's carbon footprint is?? And you also mention cost to maintain. Well one thing I do know is that a 375k McLaren is a lot more expensive to maintain than a 120k Viper. God forbid if you ever get in a fender bender in a 675LT and actually need to replace something. The McLaren 675 Lt is my personal favorite current supercar, but I am amazed at the amount of people that just can't simply give the Viper ACR credit for being a great handling car and just leave it at that. It has got to be the most scrutinized and dissected car of all time.

Wouldn't the next gt2 rs be a better more simpler choice? There's nothing wrong with the viper one should be looking at buying racing racing cars or sponsoring racing teams for the real full experience.

Put a big, ugly rear spoiler and ugly stick-out front splitter on 675LT and you'll have a winner in all tracks :D

It is really that simple.

But just because a car isnt the fastest in acceleration, Which there has to be a slower one, Doesnt mean its a one trick pony, A Viper, In all forms is fast as shite in any category regardless of the year. Always has been, Theres both slower and faster cars, Now if it did like a 13s 1/4, Then maybe, But its fast as shite in acceleration, And even faster round a track, Its just the 675LT is faster in acceleration, But slower around a track then an ACR, One could say when comparing the 2 there both all eggs in one basket, But either way, There both fast as shite, Both being faster in 1 of 2 things.

As for the Viper itself, The biggest problem, Was when it first came out, It had a 'Starting" price of $120,000, And a fully loaded price touching $170,000, Which was a a huge no no on a Viper, Not too mention it was outright losing in comparison tests to the ZR1, Those were the 2 big downfalls, It should have been priced much more near a ZO6s price range, And also be rarer while being more competitively priced, The Viper has always been a super iconic car, Being on the bedroom walls of kids all across the world, So i also dont think we have seen the Vipers end.

No, it's getting more expensive to make and maintain it emits too much carbon what are they gonna ask next 150k minimum? doesn't work like that in that market segment if someone has 150k they have 200k this is no hellcat for the family regardless of how expensive these things are to run.

@ juggz
The Viper can die and it will come back 1 year or 2 with 1000plus hp to compete against the best.... it done it a couple of times before......
