[DeTomaso] NPC: Dodge Viper ACR is fastest production car 'round the 'Ring

[Garth Rodericks]

The wickedly fast race-ready Dodge Viper ACR recently lapped the Nurburgring 
Nordschleif in a jaw-dropping 7 minutes and 22.1 seconds to leave the Corvette ZR1 in its 
dust and set a new -- although so far unofficial -- record for fastest lap time in a production car.
 
It comes as no surprise the 8.4-liter Viper would make mincemeat of a 12.9-mile circuit 
known as Green Hell, but watching the guy behind the wheel struggle to keep 600 
horsepower under control makes you wonder how much more the car is capable of.
