DragTimes.com got some dyno results from a new 2008 Dodge Viper ACR. With 1,350 miles on the odometer the current Nürburgring King put down an impressive 546 horsepower and 510 foot pounds of torque to the rear wheels. With a 15% driveline loss that puts the new Viper ACR at 642 horsepower and 600 foot pounds of torque, quite a bit more than the official 600HP number from Dodge.
These dyno numbers are right inline with what the new Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is putting down on the dyno as well. Should be interesting to see how these two cars do against each-other in the real world at a drag strip. If the large front splitter and monstrous rear wing don’t slow down the Viper ACR too much, it should be a very close race.
