Dodge 2010 Viper SRT10 ACR

Dodge 2010 Viper SRT10 ACR Breaks Laguna Seca Class

Dodge’s current Viper still has something to give before the production for it comes to an end this year. The street-legal Viper was taken to the Laguna Seca and took home a course record.

SRT engineer Chris Winkler drove the 2010 Viper SRT 10 to its way to a 1:33.915 lap. An in-vehicle data recording device documented the time. The existing Laguna Seca record was broken by the Viper’s track time by more than 1.1 seconds. The record was recaptured by Dodge, which help it from 2008 until August when a one-off prototype beat it.

The 2010 Viper SRT10 ACR was slightly modified for the Laguna Seca. A shorter fifth gear ratio, a new short shifter and some aerodynamic modifications were added to the Viper to help it clench the track record.
