2009 Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR Hurst 50th Anniversary Edition. (Mecum).

Undoubtedly the greatest manual American sports car ever is the Dodge Viper. For 25 years, the Dodge//SRT brand two-door sports car dominated the streets, tracks, and car shows wherever they went. Now that the iconic nameplate has been gone for the past 5-years, we are starting to see more of the V-10 powered sports cars being listed for sale. This includes rare special edition models.

One such special edition that caught our eyes was this 2009 Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR Hurst 50th Anniversary Edition. Only 50 of them were built to help celebrate the iconic automotive performance parts company. But this one is very special because it is the only one based on the competition-oriented ACR (American Club Racer) package.

With only 1,460 miles on the odometer, this car is well documented and even comes with the original sticker and Hurst Certificate of Authenticity. Serialized as No. 5 of the group, this model is painted in factory Viper Black and features the iconic Hurst Gold stripes and Hurst badging. To help offset this model from the standard Viper ACR, there is also a set of gold-trimmed, polished aluminum wheels with Hurst centers wrapped in the standard ACR Michelin Pilot Sport rubber.

Inside, the interior is done with premium leather bucket seats done in black and tan with embroidered Hurst logos into the seatbacks. The car also features a unique shift handle for the Tremec-TR6060 6-speed transmission, with a Hurst logo and shift pattern milled into it. An identification badge is fitted to the dash, indicating that this is car No. 5 of the 50 car run.

Under the hood, the Viper ACR remains untouched. Some may complain, but the 8.4-liter (505 cubic-inch) VIPER V10 engine produces 600 horsepower (447 kW) and 560 lb.-ft. (759 Nm) of torque. SRT engineers spent 1,300 hours on aerodynamics for the ACR’s release, and the ACR’s adjustable carbon-fiber rear wing and front splitter created a balanced front-to-rear downforce totaling over 1,000 lbs. @ 150 mph while decreasing drag by 15%. The car even features two-piece lightweight slotted brake rotors, to help reduce heat on the track.

The car will cross the Mecum Kissimmee auction block on Friday, January 14th, 2022. Mecum estimates that this rare Viper should bring in between $300,000 to $400,000. We don’t think it will go for that much, considering that is the going rate of some of the winged B-bodies are estimated to take in at the event.
