PERFORMANCE/ACR OVERVIEW • The Viper ACR is the literal fusion of Street and Racing Technology. It takes the awe inspiring performance capabilities of the Dodge Viper SRT10 to the next level. • The Viper ACR is not certified as a race car and it is not equipped with a racing safety cage, racing restraints or other racing safety equipment. • Throughout this manual there are notes of WARNING and CAUTION. Review each of them before driving this car.
PERFORMANCE/ACR AERODYNAMICS • The Viper ACR aerodynamics are capable of high levels of downforce which will noticeably affect the grip and handling of the vehicle at speeds as low as 50 mph. • Regularly inspect all of the aerodynamic components and attachments for damage or wear.
PERFORMANCE/ACR Front Splitter • Splitters are potent aerodynamic elements usually only found on purpose built racing cars. The Viper ACR front splitter has been specially adapted for street use with the addition of several new features. • The leading edge has been scalloped back to reduce front overhang for day to day driving. • Toughened polymer rub strips have been added to reduce wear and abrasion on the splitter panel.
PERFORMANCE/ACR Splitter Components • The front of the ACR splitter is supported by two stainless steel cables. These cables and their attachments should be regularly inspected. • The splitter cables have an adjustment capability, however it is recommended to leave the splitter at the factory delivered settings. The splitter cables may have some slack while the vehicle is at rest.
PERFORMANCE/ACR Track Extension • A splitter track extension is included in the trunk of every Viper ACR. The track extension is mounted in the same location as the center rub strip. The on-track aerodynamic balance was optimized with the track extension in place. • To install the track extension, remove the eight (8) screws of the center rub strip and install the extension in the same mounting locations. • Tighten fasteners to 70 in-lbs (7.9 N·m).
PERFORMANCE/ACR Wing Stanchions • The wing stanchions are designed with adjustment capability but they are delivered locked with tamper resistant fasteners. • The wing is delivered from the factory in hole position 2. Wing Adjustment • It is possible to adjust the wing using the hole pattern at the top front of the stanchion. NOTE: Adjustment to the wing setting is not recommended. • The wing is attached to the lower stanchions with thread locker and tamper resistant fasteners.
PERFORMANCE/ACR • The rear wing on the non two-tone ACR is molded completely with unidirectional carbon fiber and painted in body color. Some patterned or linear conditions may be visible in the painted carbon fiber surfaces. This is also a normal result of the carbon fiber process. TWO PIECE BRAKE ROTORS • The Viper SRT10 is known for having world class brakes. The Viper ACR takes this incredible braking system to the next level with the Stop Tech two-piece lightweight slotted rotors.
PERFORMANCE/ACR Alternate Break in Procedure CAUTION! Chrysler does not endorse speeding on public roads; therefore, if a safe area cannot be used for break-in, you must perform the street break-in procedure. Regardless of completing the “street break-in procedure,” this alternative break-in procedure is recommended before any track use of the vehicle.
PERFORMANCE/ACR CAUTION! Do not come to a complete stop when the system is hot and leave your foot on the pedal. Pad material will immediately transfer to the rotor causing a vibration during future use. • After the final stop, drive as much as possible without using the brakes to cool off the system. Ideally, the brakes should be allowed to cool to ambient temperature before using them again. • After the first break in cycle, the brakes will still not be operating at optimum capacity.
PERFORMANCE/ACR WARNING! The Pilot Sport Cup tires were NOT intended to be driven on snow or ice. The Pilot Sport Cup is a summer season tire and has diminished capability on cold road surfaces (below 50°F). DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE DURING THESE CONDITIONS. Snow, ice and cold road surfaces can cause a loss of control or accident. ADJUSTABLE DAMPERS • The Viper ACR suspension includes a set of adjustable coil-over racing dampers built by KW Suspensions.
PERFORMANCE/ACR Damper Components Components 1. Spherical Bearing Mount 2. Rebound Adjuster 3. Upper Spring Seat 4. Primary Spring 5. Helper Spring 6. Lower Spring Seat 7. Compression Adjuster 8. Threaded Main Body 9. Reservoir 10. Spanner Wrench 11. Spring Seat Hex Wrench • Your Viper ACR is delivered with the suspension adjusted for optimal street comfort.
PERFORMANCE/ACR Adjusting the ride height: • Raise and support the vehicle. Both left and right side wheels should be lifted off the ground to allow adjustment of the spring seats without damage. Never make ride height adjustments with the suspension loaded. The helper spring should never be fully compressed while adjusting ride heights. • Remove the wheel and tire assembly. • Loosen the set screw on the lower spring seat (approx 1 turn).
PERFORMANCE/ACR Compression Adjustment • The compression adjustment (also called bump) varies the damping of the upward travel of the wheel relative to the vehicle. • The compression adjuster is located on the remote canister fixed to the damper body and has 14 damping positions. Depending on vehicle ride height, the car may need to be raised to gain access to the compression adjuster.
PERFORMANCE/ACR Rebound Adjustment • The rebound adjustment (also called droop) varies the damping of the downward travel of the wheel relative to the vehicle. • The rebound adjuster is located on top of the piston rod and has 19 damping positions. Depending on vehicle ride height, the car may need to be raised to gain access to the rebound adjuster. To adjust the rebound damping, turn the upper finger knob: clockwise stiffens; counterclockwise softens when viewed from above.
PERFORMANCE/ACR Smooth track set up: Front: 4 in. (102 mm) Rear: 5 3/8 in. (136 mm) Rough track set up: Front: 4.375 in. (111 mm) Rear: 5 1/2 in. (140 mm) • The rake of the car (or front to rear ride height difference) may also be changed with your ACR suspension. Changing the rake may be beneficial at some tracks. Use caution when changing the rake angle. CAUTION! Depending on your set up, driving style, and track condition, some tire to wheel liner contact may occur.
PERFORMANCE/ACR HARD CORE PACKAGE • This option is for the Hard Core track enthusiast who is looking for maximum weight savings. • The Hard Core Package eliminates the Audio System (including the radio, amplifier, door speakers and subwoofer). Also deleted are the under hood silencer pad, the trunk carpet and the tire inflator. The door speakers are replaced by carbon fiber panels. The radio is replaced by a lightweight cover that can be configured to mount the included Lap Timer.

PERFORMANCE/ACR LIMITED WARRANTY • The ACR offers many race-ready components that are designed for uncompromising performance. Because of this, some of the ACR components have unique warranty limitations. Racing Not Covered • The warranty does not cover the cost of repairing damage or conditions caused by racing, nor does it cover the repair for any defects that are found as the result of participating in a racing event.
PERFORMANCE/ACR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT • The customer acknowledges that the dealer has provided him/her with basic instruction in the following areas, including the cautions, limitations and warranty coverage of this package.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES 24-HOUR TOWING ASSISTANCE - U.S. ONLY • Dial toll-free 1-800-521-2779 or 1-800-363-4869 for Canadian residents. • Provide your name, vehicle identification number and license plate number. • Provide your location, including telephone number, from which you are calling. • Briefly describe the nature of the problem and answer a few simple questions. • You will be given the name of the service provider and an estimated time of arrival.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES CAUTION! The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES - Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) • Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., may illuminate the MIL after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through several typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and not require towing.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS • In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating by taking the appropriate action. • On the highways — slow down. • In city traffic — while stopped, shift transmission into NEUTRAL, but do not increase engine idle speed. • In city traffic — while moving, shift into the highest gear possible to reduce engine RPM.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES TIREFIT TIRE REPAIR WARNING! • Do not attempt to seal a tire on the side of the vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull far enough off the road to avoid the danger of being hit while using the TIREFIT kit. • Replace (or repair) the original tire at the first opportunity and reinstall it on your vehicle. Failure to do so could result in loss of vehicle control. • A loose TIREFIT kit thrown forward in an accident or hard stop, could endanger the occupants of the vehicle.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES TIREFIT Instructions 1 • TIREFIT will temporarily seal small punctures up to 4 in.(6 mm) in the tire tread allowing you to drive your vehicle up to 100 mi (160 km) with a maximum speed of 55 mph (90 km/hr). TIREFIT can be used in outside temperatures down to approximately -4°F (-20°C). NOTE: Do not remove foreign objects (e.g., screws or nails) from the tire. • Verify that the valve stem is close to the ground.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES CAUTION! • The metal end fitting from the Power Plug and Cable may get hot after use and should be handled carefully. • Failure to reinstall the Yellow Cap on the fitting at the end of the Clear Sealant Hose can result in sealant contacting your skin, clothing, and the vehicle’s interior. It can also result in sealant contacting internal TIREFIT kit components which may cause permanent damage to the kit.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES WARNING! • Keep TIREFIT away from any open flames or heat sources. • TIREFIT is not a permanent flat tire repair. Have the tire inspected and repaired or replaced after using TIREFIT. Do not exceed 55 mph (90 km/h) until having the tire repaired or replaced. • Take care not to allow the contents of TIREFIT to come in contact with hair, eyes, or clothing. TIREFIT is harmful if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through the skin; it causes skin, eye, and respiratory irritation.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES WARNING! • Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can start anytime the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN position. You can be hurt by the fan. • Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution; do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin or clothing. Do not lean over a battery when attaching clamps or allow the clamps to touch each other.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES If You Are Jump-Starting Another Vehicle: • Connect one end of a jumper cable to the remote jump-start positive post (+). Connect the other end of the same cable to the positive (+) terminal of the discharged battery. • Connect the other cable to the ear of the thermostat housing on the engine in your vehicle. Connect the other end of the same cable to a good ground on the engine in the other vehicle. Make sure that you have a good contact.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE • If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved by a rocking motion. Turn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the front wheels. Then shift back and forth between REVERSE and 1st gear. Using minimal accelerator pedal pressure to maintain the rocking motion, without spinning the wheels, is most effective. WARNING! Fast spinning tires can be dangerous.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES EVENT DATA RECORDER (EDR) • This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE OPENING THE HOOD • Reach into the lower right grille opening and pull the primary hood latch forward. • Raise the front of the hood slightly and push the safety catch handle to the right. The safety catch handle is located under the front edge of the hood. • Assist props will raise the hood to a normal usage position.
