Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Photographs
A 2017 Nürburgring record attempt for it was crowdfunded on GoFundMe, and it left the ACR the fastest manual, rear-drive American car around the track.
SRT engineers used a supercomputer at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to help develop the fifth-generation Viper's aerodynamics.
Built for the Viper Cup as a track-only car, it lapped the Nürburgring in 7:03.058 in 2012, more than nine seconds faster than the regular ACR.
The 600-hp V10 in the 2008 Viper didn't come from Detroit alone — McLaren Automotive quietly helped develop it.
At Miller Motorsports Park a street-legal 2010 ACR lapped the 3.048-mile Outer Course in 1:59.995, the first production car under two minutes there.
A lighter aluminium chassis meant for this Viper's successor got shelved when Chrysler hit financial trouble — Mercedes later built on that stillborn design for the SLS AMG.
This Viper broke Chrysler's own numbering habit, the first ever built with VINs running in exact sequence, 001 to 100.

The original Viper was so stripped for speed it shipped with no door handles, no key cylinders, and no air conditioning — a race car Dodge let you drive to the shops.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
The Celica XX, Japan's name for the A60 Supra, introduced the world's first in-car navigation computer.
The CTR Anniversary looks like a 911 but Ruf built its carbon monocoque from scratch, no Porsche body underneath.
The 228's coupe styling hides a sedan underneath: Maserati stretched it onto the longer four-door Biturbo chassis to make room for its biggest V6, which is literally where the name comes from — 2-door, 2.8 litre.
Switching to fuel injection let this V8 finally shed its trademark bonnet bulge — and only 405 of these flat-hooded Series 5 cars were built before the whole model retired in 1989.
Japanese buyers got a secret weapon in their MX-6 — the JDM-only KL-ZE V6 made about 40 more horsepower than the engine sold in the exact same car in North America.
An American tuner, Callaway Cars, built twin-turbo conversions of the GTV6 that boosted its V6 by fifty percent to 230 hp — turning Alfa's grand tourer into something far quicker than the factory ever intended.

A product of the DaimlerChrysler merger, the Crossfire shares 80% of its parts with the Mercedes-Benz SLK — German bones under American badges.
