OXCGN Forza 3 October Update #6 – Daily Vehicle News
#11 Primetime Racing Group Viper slithers to the front
Dodge fans everywhere will be jumping in their seats with this one. One of the best performing Dodge Viper Competition Coupes to roll around any of the Le Mans and Lite Le Mans tracks is of course the #11 Primetime Team’s GT2 – R Dodge Viper Competition Coupe.
Drivers in Forza 3 will have at their disposal a pure breed racing car that is purpose built, but done so at a price that allows many privateers to enter, or ‘Weekend Warriors” to compete on an even field. It’s a semi-production vehicle, built specifically for racing, but at a price that will not have the racing enthusiast having to sell of their left lung and kidney.
At a beginning price of just $US140k – which is cheap in racing terms, the teams can then goo about decking out their pride and joy in whatever manner they choose so long as it fits within their class specifications and rules in the AMLS, the SPEED World Championships and other sanctioning bodies such as IMSA Lites for Le Mans.
This is a Forza 3 R3 Class car, and popping in with a solid PI of 714 which with the right suspension tuning, will have any Forza 3 fan circulating in top form after several laps to bed the tyres in and get the full feel of the car’s handling and setting.
Remembering, each car will handle differently, and what suits one, will not suit another, be that driver or car and for each track.

Set the car up for Le Mans, and the expect to take on the ‘Ring’, and you’ll only come to grief against one of the barriers that line the famous track. You tune it to suit you, test, re-tune, test, re tune, honing it in like a fine piece of machinery, which it is.
It’s like a watch, an expensive one. It requires fine adjustment to gain the maximum out of it, that’s your job, not the game developers.
Some History on the Dodge GT2 Competition Coupe
The philosophy behind the building of the Dodge Viper Competition Coupe started with the first Viper RTT/10 that rolled off the production line in 1992. Once these vehicles (and the subsequent Viper GTS Coupes) started getting into the hands of owners, an addiction to racing began.
Soon, Viper were competing not only in the U.S., but all over the world. A high mark was established for Viper’s racing legacy by the GTS-R which claimed five international championships including the 1999 FIA GT2 Class Championships.
The Real World Counterpart
Included in these series championships were two spectacular individual performances. First, in 1998, it took the GT2 class victory at the legendary 24 hour Le Mans, The Dodge Viper followed that up with an unprecedented victory at the 2000 Rolex 24 at Daytona where it not only won its class, but finished first overall for the race.
Daimler-Chrysler followed up this success by introducing another entry into the Viper stable of race vehicles.
The GTS-R Concept Race Car rattled the race world when it was unveiled at the 2000 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
Nothing like it had ever been seen before and the Le Mans endurance race-inspired concept set the stage for what was to follow – the Dodge Viper Competition Coupe.

But Dodge Motorsports had real-world ideas for the Competition Coupe. First it had to be safe and durable. Then, of course, the race car would also have to have outstanding performance advantages for competition in selected race series. And, least but not least, it would have to be an affordable, working-class club racer.
The Dodge Viper Competition Coupe accomplished these objectives and then some. With an FIA approved roll cage, fire suppression system, fuel cell, and supportive race seat, the Competition Coupe is well stocked with racing safety equipment. In addition, the V-10 engine that powers the coupe has proven to be a reliable and durable racing workhorse.
As for performance, the Competition Coupe estimates put a 0-60 mph acceleration time at 3.8 seconds: 0-100 mph at 9.2 seconds: 0-1/4 mile times at 11.8 seconds at 123 mph with a top speed of 192 mph, braking from 60-0 in 90 feet and lateral acceleration of over 1.25g’s.
To make it affordable to even weekend warriors, the Competition Coupe utilizes a combination of high-volume production parts and state-of-the-art race car equipment to deliver blazing performance at an excellent price.
In short, the philosophy of the Viper Competition Coupe is a commitment to safety, durability, performance, and value. The Competition Coupe is a prime example of Dodge Motorsports striving for excellence on the track, and off. Source Chrysler LLC
Your Dodge GT2 Competition Specs New
The Primetime Race Group.
Primetime Race Group debuted in the American Le Mans Series in 2007 with a Dodge Viper Competition Coupe in the highly competitive GT2 class at the Detroit Sports Car Challenge presented by BOSCH.
The team, with drivers Joel Feinberg and Chapman Ducote, also competed at Petit Le Mans and the Monterey Sports Car Championships in preparation for a full championship schedule in 2008.
Primetime, owned by Feinberg, also has competed in SPEED World Challenge and IMSA Lites, finishing third in the L1 class in 2007.
Primetime are struggling a little in getting their GT3 class car into performing well in the GT2 class, but they are getting there.
“It’s like turning a tractor and making it into a race car,” Feinberg said of converting a GT3-spec Viper into GT2.
“Unfortunately with the way the ALMS [rules] are, you have to start with a street car. And if you look at the cars in the series, the Porsche and Ferraris are the front running cars because on the street, they’re the better street cars. If you’re not a top-notch street car, you’re not going to be a top-notch racecar.”
