/// Why this one
Unfiltered, unapologetic American performance from the era when Detroit decided that the Japanese exotic threat required an overwrought response.
There is no traction control. There is no power assist on the brakes. Driver inputs go directly to the chassis without electronic mediation.
/// Provenance
8.0L V10 sourced from the Dodge truck V10 program but bored, stroked, finned, and lightened with assistance from Lamborghini. 460 hp, 500 lb-ft, Borg-Warner T56 six-speed manual. ACR variant strips weight, adds Koni adjustables and BBS wheels — about 100 ACRs were built for 1999.
Risk note: Cabin heat soak is genuinely punishing; clutch hydraulics and exhaust manifold cracks are known issues.
