Posted in the detailing section...finally getting a chance to clean up the Viper...

Nice job! I need to get off my **** and learn about that process and apply it to my car. Care to post a picture of the whole car?

 

The process is really simple, and very worth it.

These pictures aren't after the detailing I just did, but they show the car..

Viper

 

How long did it take you to do the whole car?

 

Looks nice and good job. Is it the pictures or do I see a huge gap between the back wheels to the fender?

 

You'll hate me for saying this, but I think your Z was far sexier. It's true I'm biased (I do believe the Z's shape is pure sex). Somehow the Z's lines just flow better for me. Anyway, I know your Viper's a bad*** high-hp ****, and I know you love it, and the front view is especially impressive & menacing—rock on hard with it. But I'll always carry a torch for your sweet red car . . .

 

It normally takes about an hour to do a whole car, but since this thing had so much crud on it (overspray or what I'm not sure), it took me several hours because many sections had to be gone over twice.

 

Yes, this car has HUGE fender gap. Many people lower the car and/or go with 19/20" wheels. I'm not going to lower this thing though because I got tired of the headaches with the Z, and I'm not changing the wheels because I really like the special ACR wheels. I'll just have to live with the gap.

 

I hear ya man. It was so hard to let the Z go because I loved the looks of that car with the Vizage kit, the wheels, and the lower springs.

The Viper is just so much fun to drive though. The torque in this thing is amazing, and I love its' looks too. I've wanted one of these for 10 years. It's very rewarding to get it out on the road.

 

Oh k. I was like WTF why is that like that. I thought you were doing something on it ro something. But as long as you like it I guess and if it won't interfere with your high speed cornering

 

LOL....Nope. The ACR suspension is REALLY stiff. This car has so little body roll it's ridiculous. The rear springs are 1100 pound springs, where the stock GTS springs are something like 750 or 800. I could lower the car just a bit with the adjustable suspension, but not sure if I want to do that for clearance's sake.

 

That's what I call right engineering. No then, Don't Fawk with it if it's straight.
