2017 Dodge Viper ACR Nürburgring Nordschleife [Official Lap Video] 

Id rather drive without those

They can always be bought used and enjoyed even after the manufacturing process is over.

Not true at all. The Huracan Performante costs $280,000, the 911 GT3 RS "only" costs $189,000 and the Radical SR8 even costs $175,000...

@@SuperGeronimo999 Vipers usually cost ~$80k Mainly cos Vipers are simple "if you're lucky, you may not die" type cars.

@@SuperGeronimo999 Huracan and GT3 are automatic cars with 7 gears, when you compare the ACR against the GT2 in slower circuit, the ACR beats it. The Radical is more a karting (legal for street use) than a proper car, same like Bac Mono or X-Bow

@@MarloSoBalJr Gen 1 viper are that, this Gen 5 have a lot of grip and aids to help.

@@FEGTTTSDH still not "the only vehicle under $400k to do it in 7 min"

He's tapping because he has AC/DC I've got BIG BALLS & Highway to HELL playing in his Helmet;-) Atleast that's what I would be listening to while running this.LOL

6:53 It was such a beautiful moment! And let's not forget the fact that he did it while taking a turn at 276 km/h

I would've thought that he's desperate because he couldn't go faster that 275 due to the electronic restriction that the Vipers have but yeah, he did it while turning at that speed lol

Luis Torreón The viper ACR is limited to 275-276kph for aerodynamic reasons, since it generates an extreme amount of downforce

@@alexmustang8611 I don't understand if the wing produce that much of downforce why has it to be restricted?

Wild_ _Toilet they've been testing their setups for a few days, it's useless😂😂

More pleasing sound than a current F1 car

Well, Dom is a pro on the Nordschleife. GT3 drivers on the Nordschleife are the best you can get to drive a car, even when it's a beast like the Viper

Here is what worries me, the roll bar they are installing is 70 pounds of extra weight. And Dominick is not a small driver. I know they want the bar so he can go balls to the wall, but you can see in the Le Man series GT added weight makes a huge difference.

Wild_ _Toilet the new Vipers aren't as twitchy and punchy as the older cars, they are much easier to drive.

The driver is definitely no slouch, he's a more or less a former factory team driver for Porsche

it's fine.

JohnS1000RR watch the penzoil with the viper if u loved this

Thats what bald eagles sound like 🇺🇸

You should try listening to Tesla Model S

It gurgles...

Vipers only come in manual.

@@troyandrade435yeah but so few cars nowadays do. That’s the point.

The speedometer on screen is in kph, but 120 kph is still 75 mph, or normal highway speeds

@@omega1575 damn, that must feel like a ride to experience

@@dillanmistry he was actually going 130 around corners if you translate which is pretty insane. he was 200 kmh

@@fantasyvimmienskrrt7428 More reasons why it's always been my pfp, this car is a beast

This video looks like it's in fast forward through the corners 😂 absolutely insane

Got that right!

P Blunt I wish I had gonads the size of footballs

1.8 gs on street tires? Yea fucking right he was on racing slicks that don't count for shit put racing slicks on all the cars on the top 50 list and I bet they're times go up as well I bet this moves back on the list a bit further than like5th place

Prove it

nope, just these. www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Kumho&tireModel=Ecsta+V720+ACR

God bless you sir, for having a hand in building one of America's biggest middle fingers to the rest of the world!

The Viper has legendary status, thanks to you and the rest of the team in making this

*_You are fucking awesome. This is the best looking car that has ever been made._*

Thank you for helping produce one of my favorite dream cars bro🙏🏿💙

Owned a 1994 SRT10 and three 1997 GTS cars. Would LOVE to buy you a beer Sir!!!

Thats easy carousel is very easy to Drive...

@@mariog.9541 I don't have actual track experience, but from hot lapping the shit out of it all the time on any racing game, both sim and arcade, it seems like the most important part of riding it is getting into it cleanly, if you go into it at a bad angle, it gets weird, but other then that its smooth sailing.

@@dboy2258 Nah carousel is very easy.

u gotta be joking

True that it is a drivers cars. The engagement of it is what makes it good. How can you feel like a mint driver when you have so many electronic aids to help you? You can hear this roar at speeds over 250, sounds like a damn turboprop jet!

T1000AX and it holds the world record too

T1000AX it's a true drivers car. You cannot not like the viper for its raw abilities

@@joesmith389 Porsche holds the Nürburgring record with their 919 hybrid evo

@@LannnR fastest manual car.

I agree because I have one

You got that right!

Yes, that bastard wanted to fly but this driver's blood must be venom cos he was unphased

Gustavo Cesare are you serious???

Tru Neumayer Yea one of them wrecked. They brought twin spec'd vipers but i dont believe it was the record car that crashed due to the tire

SHIFTY 416 same here...the T/A and the Acr are gorgeous!!!

?????????

Was proud of the ZL1's performance on the ring (GM fan too), but mad credit to the Viper here. Great to see it beating the European cars.

Alacorn I think you'll have to reconcider this statement after the 911 gt2 has set a laptime

Alacorn how is a 911 pure? It's another computer with wheels and an electronic steering rack. Ferrari F12 TDF, 812 Superfast and Laferrari are all brilliant driver cars. The 599 XX, FXX and FXX K are pure beasts on the racetrack

this was just the warm up, couldn't go full send the tire exploded

I watched the site that shows the last version of the Viper that was powerful (195 MPH) without the Aero package downforce. And at exactly the same spot turning the corner to the main straight, the older Viper was 12 seconds down on the 2016 Viper.It ran a 7:12, so it picked up 3 seconds on the long straight.I think in the long run being 20 MPH slower with the Aero package works out fine.

Not to nit pick but it did break 280 for a second or two

Enthusiasts Garage this is probably one of the ONLY American cars that can handle. You have the dodge hellcat weighing over 5,000 lbs. you can’t track something like that

@@noblevengeance312 The Hellcat is made in true muscle car formula. It's not really meant to handle around a track and wasn't designed to so I can't really fault it for that.

Noble Vigilance RS sothe corvette can’t handle? How about the ZL1 1LE had a 7:14 lap time, what about the GT350? What about the Ford GT40? Shall I go on? There’s plenty of American cars that handle well, you just picked the only American car that’s fast that can’t handle

Turbo Cars and Fast Bikes there Are only few american cars that can set times like this, only the ZL1 1LE, ZR1 and Z06, and the GT500 maybe, not many american cars set these times compared to the more exquisite Germans, who laugh at the Americans as they are a considerable joke at this point 😂

Noble Vigilance RS good god, I just named a ton of cars that all shit on most German cars according to the ring times. You’re just being ignorant at this point.

Soren Lausen I'll gladly take your girly S2000 out of your hands

Compared to the Viper it is. I'll keep my s2000 haha!

there's a reason why Japanese tsukuba time attackers have such bold aero and obviously has been tuned out their car's parts

I like to hear that, real talk!

Only pussies drive a car with paddles

Peter House - I meant that he took his hand off too often. You only need to take it off to shift. His turns would have been smoother had he had both hands on the wheel except to shift.

The older Vipers yes, but this version is so much smoother, . Look at some of his turns, he knows when to use two hands and which not. He knows this track like the back of his hand. Everything went against them. Rained the whole time until the lap. They had to go out on a green track, right after a rain with no rubber put down yet.No time with the car. He will knock a few seconds of that.

No, neurologically speaking a person is WAY smoother with just one hand on the wheel, this two hands on the wheel thing comes from when cars didn't have power steering, so a person needed both arms to control the steering wheel. Its much easier to use your arms independently from each other then try to make both arms do the same thing smoothly due to the fact human arms are not equal in strength so the brain has to compensate to replicate the motion that the other arm is doing and when you factor in that human arms do not have 1/10 the fine motor control as say your fingers its almost cretin that one arm is not perfectly synced up with the other one thus making steering corrections jerky or less smooth.

Frank Leary, from my own experience and what I've learned from other racers is that two hands on the wheel is definitely smoother. When you have both hands on the wheel they shouldn't necessarily be doing exactly the same thing. Often one hand is pulling the opposite direction as the other (just a little bit) to make your turn more gradual and less jerky. Also, with two hands you are less likely to be disturbed by bumps and g-forces. I have instructed a fair amount and I have never seen anyone be smoother with one hand than with two.

KungFu909 are u fucking kidding me

also, sound is so realistic! ^^

The driver model tho... They even made him give love taps on the wheel

real racing 3

It's way ahead of its time

Huracan - not a supercar - almost 10 seconds faster. Be quiet. 488 Pista - not a supercar - 1 second faster. Be quiet.

@@thert.hon.thelordnicholson7261 According to the official track times, the 488 Pista is not ahead of the Viper - blow me. Also, the Huracan is definitely a supercar. Features dual clutch transmission, active aero, aluminum and carbon fiber chassis, along with other supercar features. Blow me. nurburgringlaptimes.com/lap-times-top-100/ Here's a link to the official track times in case you get lost. Blow me.

@@MetalGearHead lmfao pwn'd

Thomas Cat imagine calling a 488 pista and a huracan “not supercar”

GT2RS, nothing can get close to that

How do you know that?

Everyone who lives next to the nurburg knows...

'tis true. We only managed to get 1 lap in due to weather. More laps to come in the near future.

I worry about the weight of the roll bar they are putting in. It's good for safety obviously, but it also weighs 68 pounds. Dominick is not a small driver either, I guess with the bar he can go more balls to the walls without killing himself.

ViperVinni thank you. The latest GoPro Hero 5 & Session 5 worked wonders for this effort.

FoxProFilms please mount gopro on inside of side window

I did mount an angle to the side window looking inside. I chose to use the helmet cam instead - a very unique view of Dominik's drive.

so you used Hero5 as frontcam .. and session for helmet? .. and the datastuff from RN was streched from 720p to 1080p? .. looks sharp! ;)

You got it! I had 2 more camera angles, but this layout did the job without being too cluttered. The helmet cam was way better than I expected it to be.

ya same

6:53 I NEED EVEN MORE !!!!!!

Its got enough power, hence why he posted a 7:03. More seat time and sub 7 next month.

too much down force

So how much down force would you recommend?

if you guys are asking why he is doing 275kmh in the long straight with 650hp when I did 302kmh with 530hp , the reason is because the car has " a lot " of downforce if you prefer. I did not say it like I knew what downforce they should use

Viny F.A I heard they'll retry this week.

3 week from the video

the car isnt tunned... i guess they can lift a little downforce from it to gain some speed on the straights... looks like it hitted a brick wall on the 270km/h... the other nder 7s go over 300 on a couple of parts of the track... yet, viper is going with real tires on the next try...

The whole point of having 2000 pounds of downforce, is to use it. I agree this is a fast track which actually hurts this package. if you see some of the track records from this car, the faster tracks were closer, as the twisting circuits they were broken by 5 seconds on one track.

yeah, I have the same transmission and it is not easy to find your gear. I am amazed that anyone would try to race with it but I guess they are making a point.

i loved when he would get into the car back when viper had a team racing. The guy is a rocket

Actually he was one of the SRT factory driver and rode the real GTS-R a few years ago.

It's not like these new Vipers are like the old ones. Not saying they wont bite, just saying they wont bite for touching them lol.

He uses one hand on left hand turns and both on right turns. Whatever works. I could see how that could be faster to shift. Understeer off those corners were taking some time, I timed where he gained and lost compared to other cars. The first and fastest part of the track he's just a couple seconds up on Gen 2 Viper, but the second twisting part it gained 8 seconds. Thats why it has broken so many records by huge margins on slow tracks. It's braking and cornering are spot on. Top speed is sacrificed for down force.

Janusha That's because there are still lots of Americans who have this false notion that American cars aren't good, compared to their Europeans counterparts.

Thanks for watching!

iMiguelAOG Viper is a real man...no bullshit...steering wheel and a shifter....and a big fuck you if you don't like it!!

Betsy, my wife would agree with you. She is always nervous when we race at night here at home down I-696 and I-94, mainly because of tickets. Here sister on the other hand yells, "Faster, Faster!!!" You haven't lived until you have ENTERED the interstate from an on ramp at 140 MPH plus and you have plenty left and she is begging for you to go deeper and harder, on the throttle. My wife doesn't like hearing about it at all. Wish we had the '17 ours is just and old '08.

just think of the huracan performante, NA V10 similar weight and viper is more powerful. If only they offered a limited ED with a DCT lol...but this car can come close to the lambo especially if they use the same tires and the viper driver gets a bit more time on the ring.

What are you talking about? Viper is UNDERPOWERED and has a top speed of 177 MPH because of the massive wing. Not to mention automatic. One is over a million dollars, one is 120,000 dollars. I is a manual, with front engine rear wheel drive. Ford GT is the so called big money American car, and it won Le Man first time. Corvette won Le Mans 6 times. Lambo......Hmm?

vin russo Porsche won Lemans 100 times what's your point

vin russo the lambo costs 300k $ not one million 🙈 and i don't get your point with le mans either... the overall mid engine awd concept of the lambo is faster than the viper that's fact because of physics

And those racing slicks he's got on the car yea but how many production cars come with racing slicks? None this lap don't count for shit

This is just the beginning. lollllll

no it wont!

Exoticars19 Now it is This junk box Crashed LOL

Undoubtedly one of the best cars in the world today. But sadly, it wasnt the fastest. Huracan Performante did it faster. Look here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6ULSUcERlQQ.html

M773 the koenigsegg one:1 is still a better race car around tracks than the viper. You should watch the eggs time on Spa. It crushed the mclarens time.

Was gonna say the same! My palms were sweaty just watching this!

blueduster74 and having almost no money to do it

But those racing slicks bump up they're time ain't no street tires doing 1.8 gs

Slavonic that's where your wrong kido
