Dodge Viper ACR (Gen V)
Reference — shown, never scored
Why 7.6: Manual-only, 8.4 litres, and a stack of production-car lap records set partly by owners' crowdfunded efforts. Track-day sightings per car built are among the highest here — the anti-Aventador.

The long version
Buyers skew toward people who already own a trailer, because the ACR's reputation was built one grudge-match lap record at a time and owners kept showing up to defend it long after Dodge stopped funding the effort itself. Values have climbed steadily since production ended, but the cars keep turning up at time-trial paddocks instead of disappearing into collections — the wing and splitter are tools, not styling cues, and the market seems to understand that. It is the rare American flagship where the enthusiast base and the investor base are mostly the same people.
