This is the only vehicle under $400k to do it in 7 min. And it’s less than a third of that price. It’s sad that these are no longer available. This was truly the end of driver built sports cars. RIP Viper, you will always be top dog in my book.

Not true at all. The Huracan Performante costs $280,000, the 911 GT3 RS "only" costs $189,000 and the Radical SR8 even costs $175,000...

The fact that this is a MANUAL, naturally aspirated V10 going only to the rear wheels is incredible. But if you take all that into consideration, then remember that this was just their warm up lap, this is phenomenal. How the hell Dom tamed the Viper, a manual RWD beast that bites your ass from the smallest imperfection in your drive, and got man and machine to work together to produce such a near flawless lap on his first try at the Nordschleife doesn't even process in my head.

Despite the great lap time, it seems it had more to break sub 7's; outstanding driving and I applaud the fan clubs for working to create this. The ACR down force is so impressive that it couldn't pass the 280km mark. I'm sure another video will happen but this made it clear as a "track record shattering force" to be reckoned with.... Great Job! Mopar or No car!!!!

[@vinrusso821]

I watched the site that shows the last version of the Viper that was powerful (195 MPH) without the Aero package downforce. And at exactly the same spot turning the corner to the main straight, the older Viper was 12 seconds down on the 2016 Viper.It ran a 7:12, so it picked up 3 seconds on the long straight.I think in the long run being 20 MPH slower with the Aero package works out fine.

[@joebalser9515]

Not to nit pick but it did break 280 for a second or two

[@MrWinterblade]

Knowing that the Viper is dead brings tears to my eyes. Manual, aspirated, RWD, no electric motors, no fancy active aero or kers system, just a huge roaring v10 and the largest tyres one could fit in. The last breed of pure American muscle supercars. All hail the untamed Viper.

[@sdlausen1]

As an amateur open track day event goer in my girly s2000, this video utterly gave me chills. The way the driver is fighting the steering wheel to keep control of this beast is incredible! Truly remarkable skills at hand here. This is what separates the amateurs (me) from the pros. I truly hope they beat the record. The Viper is such an analog car with a manual and it can still beat cars 4 times it's price with electronic aids. I can't wait to see the next run.

[@wertpollwert]

[@AndrewMalkin]

Peter House - I meant that he took his hand off too often. You only need to take it off to shift. His turns would have been smoother had he had both hands on the wheel except to shift.

[@vinrusso821]

The older Vipers yes, but this version is so much smoother, . Look at some of his turns, he knows when to use two hands and which not. He knows this track like the back of his hand. Everything went against them. Rained the whole time until the lap. They had to go out on a green track, right after a rain with no rubber put down yet.No time with the car. He will knock a few seconds of that.

[@eaglefat9398]

No, neurologically speaking a person is WAY smoother with just one hand on the wheel, this two hands on the wheel thing comes from when cars didn't have power steering, so a person needed both arms to control the steering wheel. Its much easier to use your arms independently from each other then try to make both arms do the same thing smoothly due to the fact human arms are not equal in strength so the brain has to compensate to replicate the motion that the other arm is doing and when you factor in that human arms do not have 1/10 the fine motor control as say your fingers its almost cretin that one arm is not perfectly synced up with the other one thus making steering corrections jerky or less smooth.

[@AndrewMalkin]

Frank Leary, from my own experience and what I've learned from other racers is that two hands on the wheel is definitely smoother. When you have both hands on the wheel they shouldn't necessarily be doing exactly the same thing. Often one hand is pulling the opposite direction as the other (just a little bit) to make your turn more gradual and less jerky. Also, with two hands you are less likely to be disturbed by bumps and g-forces. I have instructed a fair amount and I have never seen anyone be smoother with one hand than with two.

[@MetalGearHead]

Unfortunate what happened to the car. The Tire explosion and all. I think if that didn’t happen, this car could have broker into 6 minutes. Regardless, the record is has now just goes to show you that active aero, all wheel drive, crazy auto transmissions and electronic aids doesn’t always mean you have the best car. Front engine, rear drive and manual trans that’s all you need. 13 track records speaks a lot. This track will be owned by the viper soon enough. High end supercars my ass!

He uses one hand on left hand turns and both on right turns. Whatever works. I could see how that could be faster to shift. Understeer off those corners were taking some time, I timed where he gained and lost compared to other cars. The first and fastest part of the track he's just a couple seconds up on Gen 2 Viper, but the second twisting part it gained 8 seconds. Thats why it has broken so many records by huge margins on slow tracks. It's braking and cornering are spot on. Top speed is sacrificed for down force.

Janusha That's because there are still lots of Americans who have this false notion that American cars aren't good, compared to their Europeans counterparts.

[@betsykarotkin3682]

I feel like I just ran the race...Exhausting and terrifying!!!

[@privatelisting366]

Betsy, my wife would agree with you. She is always nervous when we race at night here at home down I-696 and I-94, mainly because of tickets. Here sister on the other hand yells, "Faster, Faster!!!" You haven't lived until you have ENTERED the interstate from an on ramp at 140 MPH plus and you have plenty left and she is begging for you to go deeper and harder, on the throttle. My wife doesn't like hearing about it at all. Wish we had the '17 ours is just and old '08.

[@drewgarrison3879]

That was sooo bad ass I had to watch it twice!!!!!!!!!Wow it takes a true driver to tame the viper and he did so!!!! Great Lap!!! One of the best at the ring I’ve seen in a while as in “a true drive” man synced up with machine to create a great opportunity and he cashed in on a Bomb Lap!!!!! I wish I had Grand Turismo because I’d be trying to beat his lap all week probably!!!!!!!!!

[@Colin_Robinson_EV]

Johnny Skillz over here showing us how its done! impressive sir 🤜🤛

[@xXxXcrosbykidXxXx]

The downforce is so apparent, some of the corners he was accelerating through were mind blowing

[@robertpeach8129]

That engine sound...PURE PRIMAL.

1:58 I NEED MORE POWER!!!

[@unpsuedooriginal4282]

6:53 I NEED EVEN MORE !!!!!!

[@wertpollwert]

Its got enough power, hence why he posted a 7:03. More seat time and sub 7 next month.

[@nico2006t]

too much down force

[@wertpollwert]

So how much down force would you recommend?

[@nico2006t]

if you guys are asking why he is doing 275kmh in the long straight with 650hp when I did 302kmh with 530hp , the reason is because the car has " a lot " of downforce if you prefer. I did not say it like I knew what downforce they should use

[@dblr3000]

Dominik Farnbacher is "God Arm" come to real life! Are you freaking kidding me?! Insane, amazing, unreal wheel control. I mean GD! That's the most amazing run I've ever seen on these YT videos at the Green Hell!! And it was a "first go"?!?!? Unbelievable!

[@race-ist5point0]

These cars are why SRT is legendary and why EVERYBODY wants a Scat Pack and Hellcat.

[@weeatpplproductions]

The viper will always and forever be my favorite car. Ever since I was a little kid I have dreamed of owning one and being able to do stuff like this with it. Such a beautiful and insane machine.

[@taaltaal4739]

Never get old. Long live the Viper.

[@JLH-w6d]

Man!!!...In-friggin-Tense!!!...I literally worked up a sweat watching this run! :D

[@FoxProFilms]

Thanks for watching!

[@antoinemaxima6036]

7:01.3 is the official time. Not under 7 min but still very good for a bone stock car, the other manufacturers use modified hyper car to get under 7 min. I am satisfied with that result. The only thing stopping this beast from going under 7min is better tires, more money and time (support from Dodge would be nice too).

[@AQCE245]

Antoine Maxima The ACR crashed

[@gt350dude8]

Da,Taper this ACR didnt crash it was a another car they brought. They had 2 of the same exact specs but it was the 1st car that wrecked i believe. Still cant believe an ACR was lost due to tire failure.

[@thert.hon.thelordnicholson7261]

Oh look, another one :D There ARE NO HYPERCARS in the list above the Viper ACR. They are either production sports cars or production supercars - so exactly the same category as the Vipers. As for modifications, that's exactly what the ACR is no? It's a highly modified Viper, you absolute joker. Any manufacturer running a lap is going to strip out some weight, maybe add an aero package, which is exactly what the ACR is. Please base your statements on fact and not blindly-patriotic hyperbole.

[@onefastslimjim]

@@thert.hon.thelordnicholson7261 this laptime was a fanclub effort. No weight stripped, and the aero package comes factory with the ACR package. Your point?

[@adt8634]

@@onefastslimjim fanclub can still modifed that car, what's your point.

[@blueskyhuskyofficial]

This guy is a true legend. Driving skills, agression....wow

[@vex123]

Was gonna say the same! My palms were sweaty just watching this!

[@lordblingpow]

That 1st person view is crazy!

[@TheSadviper01]

Scary-amazing execution, well done! Surely great and with more practise and few tweaks and sponsoring it will go sub 7.

[@r129r16pfl]

They only manged to do 1 proper hot lap, they are just warming up.

[@morelelfrancel6603]

How do you know that?

[@sandromartins20]

Everyone who lives next to the nurburg knows...

[@FoxProFilms]

'tis true. We only managed to get 1 lap in due to weather. More laps to come in the near future.

[@vinrusso821]

I worry about the weight of the roll bar they are putting in. It's good for safety obviously, but it also weighs 68 pounds. Dominick is not a small driver either, I guess with the bar he can go more balls to the walls without killing himself.

[@dtofq]

My mind is blown...I'm sweaty from watching this! Incredible!

[@fredbanda5494]

The ACR is insane and the driver is an absolute nutter🤯. Great driving there, almost put it into the barrier quite a few times

[@JerseyMikeP]

I just noticed that this RUN was done on 7/26/17 @ 5:22

[@JerseyMikeP]

A run in the fall/winter will easily get into the 6:50s. Would be COOL if they said how they had the car set up, How max'ed out they had the aero for this run? Rear wing setting....ride ht.

[@JerseyMikeP]

looked up the weather this day 27* Celsius(80*F), Weather during the Huracan perf. run ...12*C (53*F)...that's a BIG difference in temp. and even bigger when you consider TRACK temps.

[@AQCE245]
