Thread: Viper ACR Roadster built for No. 1 dealer

Viper ACR Roadster built for No. 1 dealer before production ended

Being the number one Dodge Viper dealership for 11 years has its perks – like being able to pick up the phone and tell the suits up at Auburn Hills that you'd like a convertible version of the diabolical Viper ACR. According to AutoWeek, that's exactly what Woodhouse Dodge did after hearing that its cash cow was headed to the slaughterhouse, and surprisingly enough, Dodge obliged. What resulted was a mere 20 examples of a drop-top ACR, complete the coupe's tweaked suspension, mammoth brakes and special final gears in the transmission.

If you're thinking that hacking the roof off of a standard ACR-X is bound to play havoc with the car's rigidity and aerodynamics, you're probably right. That's exactly why the ACR crew had to completely reinvent the roadster's aero package with a stubbier rear wing and a redesigned front splitter – just to suit the topless car. As for rigidity, well, that's just a sacrifice buyers are going to have to be willing to make. Dodge built just 20 of the cars for Woodhouse, complete with the same 21B build code set aside for the hard top cars. If you want one, get on the horn with Woodhouse Dodge in Blair, Nebraska. Just make sure you've got $107,310 to blow at the same time.

Woodhouse are a bunch of douchebags.... screwed me over on a car I bought and the engine blew 3 days after and they would do nothing to help me.

How these bastards got to be the #1 Viper dealer in the nation amazes me.

I bought it used with 15k miles and it was under warranty... the problem is they voided the warranty saying the previous owner had damaged the engine and wanted me to pay 7k for a new engine.... and that price was the "your a good customer and we know this is a bad situation so we're helping you out" price.

My only thought was why then if they decided the engine was faulty prior to the sale did the represent it as having a warranty and being sold to me in the first place. They never quite could come up with an answer to that one.
