First Road trip in the ACR

Just finished up my first Road trip in the ACR to Scottsdale for the auctions and to see the ultimate cunt known as AllanLambo and Mr.AP!

 

The car:

 

The ACR has almost every modern amenity you can ask for, great visibility as that wing is higher than the line of sight from the mirror and the trunk is large enough to carry a Tumi carry on case and a large Tumi duffle along with jackets etc on the flat portion.

 

Obviously it’s not the most comfortable car in the world for a road trip but once I got into AZ the roads are SO much smoother there it was absolutely fine. A far cry from the carpool lane here in LA which literally makes you bounce out of your seat at times!

 

With the engine mods I have (headers, exhaust and PCM) there is drone above 80mph but it’s not intolerable thankfully. I didn’t really stretch its legs much but in Third and fourth gear at WOT it sounds like a pure race car and is unbelievable!

 

Only real complaint is the tiny gas tank! I am fairly certain I must have the record for the largest fill up: after Coachella there’s a town called Indio and after that there’s no gas stations for I think 80 miles or something stupid. It was at least 50 for sure and I haven’t been to ANY part of the World before where that’s been the case! After passing Indio with around 1/4 of a tank showing and then driving with the gas gauge light on empty for 30 miles I was shocked that I made it to a gas station and here’s the fill up amount. If memory serves me correctly it’s advertised as having a 16 gallon tank and that definitely includes the fuel reserve!

Really nice chap wanted to take a pic of the Viper and discuss the effects of aero on Highway speeds! He loved the Viper and off with a warning! His dodge was slick!

Auction results:

 

Everything was going for retail numbers or more - it was insane and not a deal to be had. Can't say i'm not pleased about the Viper's results but 2 cars are hardly indicative of the whole market. I wouldn't let mine go cheap that's for sure.

It took me a while to figure that out as the pics of his car don't show cuts in the roof, and the color/stripe combo on the modded one was close enough to match (silver v. gray), lol.
