The optional Hard Core package reduces the weight 40 pounds! wow....40 lbs is almost nothing! the acr will turn more heads than a zr1....it also costs less....corvette interiors are garbage but who really cares about the interior anyway! the zr1 is still lighter! anywho, it really depends what you want....if you want a "nice" interior thats fine...i know what i want....RAW performance aka '08 viper acr.

Corvette interiors may be garbage but they look and feel like a million bucks compared to the absolutely awful Viper interiors. When I sat in a Viper I was shocked at how utterly cheap and crappy the Viper interior was, we are talking Dodge Neon crappy and there was really no difference in quality or material design from a dodge Neon, absolutely nothing besides maybe the seats was spent on the Viper interior and it was embarassing for a 90K car, at least with the Corvette you can tell they tried a little.
the corvette has a more "comfortable" interior and is great as a DD....they do pretty damn good on MPGs considering how they perform.

viper vs ZR-1
Ummm , sat in a new viper last week and it had a pretty cheap interior . Saw a ZR-1 up close and the stiched leather dash and doors , much nicer seats , NO COMPARISON !!! The ZR-1 is in another league as far as interior quality .
As far as performance these two cars are very close on a track , as far as street driving the vette zr-1 is in another league of the acr viper . If looks is what you are after than it is a personal choice .

The interior is a major part of a cars entire package and what you sit in and stare at and feel and operate while you drive the vehicle. It is what you spend most of the time in during the ownership of the vehicle when operating it. A interior is extremely important in any automobile sold to the public. Unless it is some gutted out track car that is only driven on the track then a cheap crappy poorly done interior is absolutely unacceptable in a 90K or a 50K car no matter what the performance is. How often will a Viper owner drive their Viper around the Ring or take it to 200mph? How often will a Viper owner look at, operate, sit in, and feel, the interior during your Viper during ownership? If I spend alot of money on a sports car I want high performance, good looks inside and out, and an interior that is nice and does not smack me in the face of cheapness, poor design, not caring, afterthought, and cost cutting.

If you want to see what a near perfect run around the ring looks like, check out this video.

Even still, as a percentage of their original MSRP Vipers don't do that much better in residual values.

I have to agree that was not the best time they could have gotten out of the car. I think with the tapping the limiter, and miss shifting he could have shave at least another second. If I was in charge of the team running the ring for record times, I would have told the driver, good job, but we are going to need you to do it again. play the video back for the driver and show him.
