Now Is The Time To Buy A Low Mileage 2009 Dodge Viper ACR

While you could spend millions of dollars purchasing a track-focused supercar from Europe, you could save several hundreds of thousands of dollars and buy this instead, a lightly-used 2009 Dodge Viper ACR.

As a 2009 model, this Viper ACR is a ZB II generation car and at the time of its launch, was arguably the most track-focused supercar ever built in the U.S. Interestingly, Dodge decided not to tweak the 8.4-liter naturally-aspirated V8 engine, leaving it untouched with 600 hp and 560 lb-ft (759 Nm) of torque.

What Dodge did change, however, was the aerodynamic package of the Viper. Thanks to the fitment of parts like a towering rear wing, diffuser, and front splitter, the Viper ACR produces up to 1,000 lbs (453 kg) of downforce at 150 mph (241 km/h), roughly 10 times the downforce of a standard model. In 2011, the added downforce proved to be so effective that the car lapped Nurburgring in a mere 7:12.13.

This particular 2009 Viper ACR is being auctioned off by Mecum in mid-May and is finished in a lovely shade known as Graphite Metallic and includes gloss black and red accents. Few details are provided about the car’s ownership history but the listing does confirm that it has only ever been driven 930 miles (1,496 km), meaning it should still run like new.

As you would expect for a vehicle as focused on performance as the Viper ACR, the interior of the car isn’t what you’d call luxurious and consists largely of black plastic and black leather.
