You may have recently heard of something called the Lexus LF-A "Nurburgring Edition" which can get around the famed 'ring in 7 minutes and 14 seconds. While Toyota's engineers bested the Corvette ZR1's time of 7:19.6, the LF-A does cost about 4 times more than the ZR1. It seems Chrysler's SRT team got wind of all this and decided they ought to show Toyota and Chevrolet what a real Nurburgring lap time is. Chrysler is reporting that the Dodge Viper ACR got around in the ring in a blazing fast 7 minutes and 12 seconds, 2 seconds faster than the improved LF-A. But the SRT team wasn't done yet. They also brought along the Viper ACR-X which managed an insane time of 7 minutes and 3 seconds. It seems as if they are taunting the competition to try again.Source: Jalopnik - Go there to see more pictures!
