ACR-E build

[keepat]

Thought I would post the pictures of my 1 of 1 custom ACR E Viper as it is built. Dodge has a special program where you can order a viper anyway you want with over 18,000 different colors to choose from. When you order the vehicle this way they have a concierge service that keeps you informed during the entire build with photographs of every aspect of the vehicles construction. This is the last year for the Viper so I placed an order for the car. I was only 5 when you could order a new 1969 Daytona, 49 years later I'll get my winged Dodge ;-)
Thanks

I know what an ACR is. I imagine ACR"E" stands for "expensive"? 

Once in a lifetime opportunity.

[Lennard]

Wow, that's going to be an awesome driving machine!  

[crj1968]

Wha??   

[moparnation74]

Awesome Pat!

Congrats!

Hope this doesn't side track you from the bullet charger!

Wow, those brake rotors are a trip.
This is really neat! At this rate, it looks like your car is gonna be finished next Thursday.

Shotgun! There I called it.   

Awesome machine

  The E stands for Extreme Aero  but could easily be  replaced with Expensive ;-(
Thanks!

Wow, that's going to be an awesome driving machine! 

Yes I'm very much looking forward to taking delivery, I will be picking the car up at the factory and driving it back from Detroit.
Thanks

Awesome Pat!

Congrats!

Less the 3 or 4 days that I take to bring it back home this will not take the place of the charger!  That's my daily therapy ;-)

Yes everything on this car is a trip.  They build about 50 to 60 cars a month and they're still a lot to do but at this rate I hope to get the car late September/early October?
Thanks

Awesome machine   

Sorry my oldest son beat you to it ;-)
Thanks

They truly are wing cars ! 

I thought about posting this in the Aero section, but out of respect  to the original Daytonas I decided not to.
Thank you

   Congrats and good luck!

Thank you sir!

It would have been cool to get a few more years out of the viper by putting hellcat engines in them. 

[JB400]

Hopefully, the Viper will return in some form or another in a decade or so, in a similar way that Ford did with the GT.

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

My goodness that is EPIC!!  Congrats brother

[polywideblock]

The hellcat would've been an amazing engine in the Viper considering the weight savings over the challenger. It's about 1000 lbs less
Thanks

I think it will will someday but in another platform with a smaller motor?
Thanks

My goodness that is EPIC!!  Congrats brother

Thank you sir, I am so psyched!

Race cars should have racing stripes ;-)
Thank you

I'm trying to liken your experience to cars of the past. Is this like ordering a 71 HemiCuda, but already knowing this is probably going to be the penultimate, highest performing mopar for at least a decade?  I envy you sir.

[crj1968]

Race cars should have racing stripes ;-)

Does this mean the car will see the track?

It could be the last true aero car Dodge builds?
Let's hope not

Yes I will track the car 2 or 3 times a year.
Thanks

Saw this on Facebook & though it was pretty funny for this thread...

 I've owned a few of those garden snakes, in fact I traded one in to order the Viper.  Soon I'll be able to let you know which one has more of a bite ;-)
