Original Run Group/Class: Dodge Viper CupĬhassis History/Notes: This car was the second developmental mule for the ACR-X program. As of 2020, Cindi Lux and Lux Performance are still successfully campaigning two modified cars in the SCCA sanctioned Trans Am series. Following the conclusion of the series, these cars would find their way into various amateur racing series. Three seasons of the Viper Cup were contested with Ryan Schimsk winning the initial championship and Ben Keating winning the final two iterations. The “X” retained the production Sidewinder wheels, but rode on Michelin racing slicks. A 26 gallon fuel cell replaces the factory fuel tank and wider annulus front brake rotors provide additional thermal mass. An additional canard at the front of the car provides 100 lbs of additional downforce than the standard ACR and vehicle weight was reduced 120 lbs despite the addition of a roll cage and fire suppression system. The original twin-disc clutch was replaced with a lighter, aftermarket unit. The production 8.4L V10 was rated at 640 horsepower and 605 ft-lbs of torque with the addition of tubular five into one exhaust headers, forged pistons and a recalibrated engine control unit after removal of the catalytic convertors. Of the factory Viper race cars, ACR-X is the closest to production spec with the cars beginning life as 2010 ACRs at the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant before receiving modifications and final assembly at Roush Industries in Livernois, Michigan.
