Funny how the vette guys always satisfy themselves on the "bargain" mentality if u want... Certainly doesn't look exotic but but the thing is pretty impressive from a technological point of view -- the engineering that went into that thing is awesome. Corvettes are a different animal, I wouldn't ever knock a car that puts out 638HP, has a dry sump system, has ice cold air, and can still be a daily driver. Best of all, its freakin AMERICAN

Is it faster round the ring than a ACR viper ... probably not but magazine comparisons like below aren't going to mean much because the ACR comes with stickier tires (PS Cups) than the ZR1 (PS2s).

"The Corvette Z06, for all of its virtues, cannot duplicate the ACR’s electrifying race-car moves (we’ll see if the new ZR1 can defend its little brother’s honor). Nissan GT-R? Forget it: The Viper ACR will leave its solenoids and software bugged out by rubber dust. Porsche GT-2? Getting warmer, but Porsche’s masterpiece (at twice the Dodge’s $98,110 price) plays by Marquis of Queensberry rules. The ACR is strictly UFC. Dare to get in the ring with it, dude, and you’re going to get pummeled"

But like i said GM does have great marketing and that sells cars
