Amazing New Dodge Viper ACR-X V-10 Dyno Test
Viper Powertrain Development Engineer Dick Winkles takes us through a dyno test of the V-10 powerplant under the hood of the Dodge Viper ACR-X race car. The engine generates more than 600 horsepower. The test was conducted at the Chrysler Technical Center, Auburn Hills, Michigan.
Dick winkles….
Yeah 4 and 6 cyl engines can make that power WITH an added turbo. When you put a turbo on the Viper it makes an easy 1500+ hp and then some. So you have to compare apples to apples here. for what it is, the Viper V10 is a really nice engine that can get alot of power with just a few mods to it.
but the future of performance cars is electric drive. not this primitive brute
Aren’t most, or all gt racing organizations limited to naturally aspirated engines? I don’t follow road racing so I don’t know much about it but all the gt cars I’ve seen are N/A.
@art1618 This is making that without a complete engine rebuild block up, and without 2 50mm turbos.
@art1618 try getting a thousand hp on 93 octane out of a 2.0, see how long it lasts
@angusandleigh yea.., I kinda thought that when I submit that. I was just looking at a Honda engine, 700 something hp and 400 something ft lbs. Of tq pretty much what this car does idling… You guys know what I mean.
@art1618 a 2.0L engine may get 1000+ hp, but it in no way get anywhere near 600ft-lbs of torque… and with that much torque you don’t need 1000′s of hp, I mean if you want it from a Viper it is quite easy to get… go see Hennessy.
Too much hooman doing the talking and not enough V10 doing the talk, other than that, the ACR-X seems to be perfect for GT1 class competition.
@winekrush Thats not totaly true, for years Chrysler has been rated higher for reliability over the other American cars, I think this has been more of a lack of interest in the brand, they do not change their lineup enough to keep people wanting to buy. PT-Loser has been the same for 10 years. The 300c 5 years, the Charger 4 years with no changes. Everyone who wants a Charger as one.
@chrisxcountry1 no lag in supercharged aplications and its not all unreliable. just depends on how much boost you are putting into the engine. the more boost the more likly it is that something will fail. on low boost that engine would have a massive increase in power without decreasing the reliabity much if any.
I guess if anyone has the money to purchase this car wouldn’t be worried about reliability since it’s a track car. Unless doing some sort endurance racing. Then at that point I guess it would negate or not provide many benefits like you say, bringing it to an early stop, who knows how soon, but damn 1000 hp. It’s a great car. When is production on it stopping?
@chrisxcountry1 true. Does decrease reliability. Isnt supercharging almost lag free? But that engine does make more power than most factory turbocharged vehicles doesn’t it? I guess it all goes with ones choice. I think that if 2.0 liter engines can crank thousand plus hp why shouldn’t this one? 1000 ponies should be easily achieved.
@art1618 …..forced induction decreases reliability….any way you look at it…..also there is lag which is horrible in a racing situation
The Viper V10 firing order is 1-10-9-4-3-6-5-8-7-2
The BMW V10 firing order is 1-6-5-10-2-7-3-8-4-9
what is the firing order on a v 10?
@art1618 i sort of agree but thats why when people do turbo them they make 1000+ hp so easy
SUPER/TURBOCHARGE!!!!!!! MORE POWER DAMMIT!!!!
big ass displacement, almost seems like it’s going to waste. My damn dream car.
@savagerb28 Well you have 2 moms. And both you’re moms happen to have penises. Small penises though, that’s why they probably drive Dodge Vipers
you have 2 dads haha
@Reservoirdogs12 Lol. Well played sir.
I was just being a smartass. Please be my friend on facebook 
My ego is shattered now…I was almost blindsided by that amazingly original joke. You should be on Leno! Tool.
@Reservoirdogs12 Not as hot as your mom.
@jflexe99 Ford GT or Nissan GT-R. Easy Decision
GT-R
Vipers are Gay!!!!!!
