Congrats on the car! Even though I like the looks of the Viper, I would still take the GTR. I haven't driven the GT-R, but I'm sure it's fun in the Canyons and track
Jap-Spec is 112

1500 RWHP in a Viper is do-able, but not easy. My bosses car:

Not in the States version. I am pretty sure the JDM has that -- they used a JDM one in TopGear in their review and it definitely had that.

Just get an AccessPort from Cobb Tuning. The reflash removes the factory speed limiter and you can get a crazy +55Hp with +60lb/ft of torque.

But that was done for head room and helmets moreso than for copying the RX-7. Im a huge RX-7 nut so no hate here.
I don't believe that the original Viper intentionally copied from anybody's design; but I'm also certain that the FD RX7 didn't take any design cues from the Viper prototype since Mazda was actually designing the FD as early as 1987.

BTW: NICE R35!!!

Dear Blue Batmobile.

Please do not put any over lays on those beautiful red tail lights. In fact don't put any overlays on that GT-R!
