Dodge is bringing back its street legal track car after a 7 year absence and they mean business. The new Viper ACR is meaner than ever and as with any Viper, needs to be handled with care.

In 1999 Dodge introduced the Dodge Viper ACR (American Club Racer) after noticing the success of the Neon ACR. The overall deisgn was basically the same as a normal Viper with a few key differences. They added about 10 horsepower by applying a K&N Air Filter and dropped 60 lbs by removing the audio components, air conditioning and fog lamps(which were replaced by brake cooling ducts). Dodge also threw in a few extra badges and decals so everyone would know you had an ACR.

The 2008 Viper ACR will make its debut at the LA Auto Show next week. Under the hood will be the standard all aluminum 8.4 liter V10. It will produce close to 600 horsepower to the rear wheels and over 550 ft-lbs of torque. The package will also bring some aero-upgrades as well as suspension adjustments to cope with the 1.5g cornering is it said to produce.

The main focus while building the new ACR was weight reduction, which comes mostly from the simple fact the 600 horsepower is enough.....for now. The were able to save a total of 40 lbs between upgraded tires and wheels, brakes and suspension components. Dodge will also offer a "hard-core" package which will remove another 40lbs, along with your audio components some sound dampening and you trunk liner.

Production is said to start between April and June and the price is quoted at "less than $100,000." With a base coupe running in the $87,000 range, it might and up costing a few pennies shy of the 6 digit mark. Either way, with 600 ponies under the hood and the Hennessey 1000TT always an option, the ACR will be quite a car to contend with.

"What we need to take control,we could use the Rat Patrol.What's that coming over the dune?...
Chasing the halftracks across the sandflats,got a nice pine box,for that desert fox,machine guns blaring,and Arabs staring wondering why,the Westerners are there.It's the same old story,and it'll happen again."

Esel... Those Viper's are quite the vehicle... saw a new Challanger this past weekend and it's a very sharp looking ride. And with a Hemi under it should move along very nicely.

Titanic (1912)




It is Karl-Friedrich Pohlmann's 1:20 scale working model of Titanic's portside engine.

Titanic's Portside Engine

You Can Cast Iron

"Old engines fascinate me. I love to restore old machines. Many machines are scrapped because of broken castings, or parts cost more than a working machine is worth. I knew of several machines that could be had for little more than the time spent to recover them...If only I could produce iron castings. After some research, I found that iron could be easily melted in a cheaply built shaft-furnace called a "cupola". With this in mind, broken machines that had been junk, were now viable restoration projects. This old generator set was restored with home made castings. The castings included, the water pump, maifold, pulleys, pistons, fuel pump and magneto parts. Home cast parts work and work well!"

Woofie-'The Industrial Age' was exactly that-highly industrial.They built some amazing things,during that time!!!
They thought on a different scale than we do now,too. Blink

Great post and pics!

Looks like the "A/C" on the truck window above,is a fan driven evaporative cooler,likely,a Thermador.
I'd never heard of them,and asked my Dad about them-he used to have a car with one on it;he said it was pretty much useless. Big Grin

Esel... Never hear of a Thermador before. Sounds like a good idea... but like most of those gagets they sell on the TV. A waste of time and money. Nuh uh

The Thermador used water-soaked fabric that was rotated into the unit's air stream to deliver cool air through the window opening


It is available in 6 through 14 cylinder versions, all are inline engines. These engines were designed primarily for very large container ships. Ship owners like a single engine/single propeller design and the new generation of larger container ships needed a bigger engine to propel them.

The cylinder bore is just under 38" and the stroke is just over 98". Each cylinder displaces 111,143 cubic inches (1820 liters) and produces 7780 horsepower. Total displacement comes out to 1,556,002 cubic inches (25,480 liters) for the fourteen cylinder version.

Some facts on the 14 cylinder version:
Total engine weight: 2300 tons (The crankshaft alone weighs 300 tons.)
Length: 89 feet
Height: 44 feet
Maximum power: 108,920 hp at 102 rpm
Maximum torque: 5,608,312 lb/ft at 102rpm

Fuel consumption at maximum power is 0.278 lbs per hp per hour (Brake Specific Fuel Consumption). Fuel consumption at maximum economy is 0.260 lbs/hp/hour. At maximum economy the engine exceeds 50% thermal efficiency. That is, more than 50% of the energy in the fuel in converted to motion.
