Viper ACR is Returning to Nurburgring Thanks to Successful Gofundme Campaign

The Dodge Viper ACR may not be the talk of the car world anymore, but that isn’t stopping it from giving the Nurburgring one more go.
The Viper ACR, back in 2011, earned a record lap time of 7:12.13-minute lap. It was the fastest production car on record at the time. Since then, unfortantly, the time has been overcome by others such as Porsche and McLaren. As the glory of the Viper and the ACR wain as it goes out of production and the Dodge Demon is the new popular muscle car, it is time to see if the ACR can make some noise one more time.
This return to the track is thanks to a Gofundme designed to give the ACR another round. Russ Oasis put together the Gofundme with a goal of $159,000 which was raised. The costs handle the transportation and will be putting Dominik Farnbacher back in the seat of the Viper ACR. Farnbacher was the driver when the ACR originally made its record track time.

Newest Dodge Demon Tease Showcases a History Making Feature

The latest in the teases for the Dodge Demon has hit.  In the 11th teaser video for the upcoming monster car, the focus is on a performance feature.  Not just any performance feature, but rather one that will be a first ever.

The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon will be the first ever factory production car with a TransBrake.  What this does for the Demon is give it the ability to produce launch forces that no other street legal production car could reach.

What the TransBrake does is provide improved reaction times and more consistent launches.  It uses the steering wheel paddle shifters as a launch trigger.  This change alone gives the Dodge Demon a 30 percent reaction time advantage over foot-brake launches.  How amazing does the Dodge Demon sound right now?

All of this combines with the Demon’s new lightweight brake package to make it worthy of such a monstrous name.  With the endless teases from Dodge and shots from the latest Fast and Furious movie, the wait is getting unbearable.  It certainly seems like Dodge has something cooked up properly to appease all the time they’ve put into previewing every working bit of the Demon.  It won’t be much longer now until the Demon is unleashed.

The Dodge Demon is coming back from the dead.  This reanimated muscle car will be what puts the Hellcat to shame.

At the New York International Auto Show in April, Dodge will be showing off their latest and greatest muscle car to date; the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon.  The challenger for the Demon’s return is to see if it can top the already massively impressive Dodge Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcat.  That’s quite the feat for Dodge to attempt.

“Most cars attempt to be everything to everybody.  Then there are the rare few that revel in a single objective, rending them totally irresistible to subculture,” said Tim Kuniskis, Head of Passenger Car Brands for FCA North American in a statement.  “The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is conceived, designed and engineered for a subculture of enthusiast who know that a tenth is a car and a half second is your reputation.”

In the upcoming days and weeks, Dodge will be teasing out glimpses of the Demon.  The first is n their new website dedicated to the Demon reveal, www.ifyouknowyouknow.com.  The first is a video called “Cage” which is a tease of things to come.
