Sure, it's fast, but there's a reason the model is out-going. It just doesn't justify the cost. I don't know how anyone could tell themselves they made a good purchase unless they track the car constantly. As a street driven vehicle, it's just plain not worth the money. I don't expect a Ferrari interior, but I expect an interior that can compete with a 1995 bmw from a $100,000 brand new car. There's only so much you can pay for drivetrain/suspension. Now, if viper-esque bad-assery and track performance is your goal, I simply can't deny how insanely sexy the acr-x is.

You're a bit high on the Vipers price. MSRP is a bit under $90k.
If you want a nice interior, and good performance (akin to the base Corvette) get an Audi R8. The Viper simply isn't the car for you. The Viper is for those who believe that everything which doesn't make the car go faster is wasteful. I've heard that the no cost hardcore package on the ACR, which deletes things like the radio and some sound deadening resulting in 40lbs less weight, has something like an 80% take rate. Viper customers aren't normal because the Viper isn't normal, and thats what makes it so awesom.
Besides, the point of having a nice interior is to make the car more livable, right? Nothing else about the Viper makes it very livable. From the excessive interior heat, to the side pipes that will burn your leg, the punishing suspension, and all its other problems. That stuff would have to get fixed as well, otherwise its like putting lipstick on a pig.
