I know the Viper was capable, but lack of sales and ownership by FIAT killed it. End of story.
What are you talking about? The car is still being produced till the end of Aug which means its still current. FCA didn't want to bring the car all the way there and spend more money hence the crowdfunding for the ring run, much like the previous attempt with the Gen 4 ACR that still holds its ground. The gen 5 ACR holds 14 track records in the states alone. It holds all the unofficial lap times that I know of locally for a production car. With its first lap at 7:03xx, its the fastest RWD production car already and it has much more. Its definitely going into the 50s. The Gen 5 ACR has only been produced for 16-17.

Nerd on this.
