Ah... he didn't really described the Viper, and I can't see the pics. What's the retail on one of those (and don't say "rrroom rrrooom, more than you can afford pal... Dodge") I thought he was a high roller with a Z that modified.

I agree with Bert, that is a gorgeous machine, you must get rid of those hideous stocker wheels. In the other hand, I love the newer Viper Stock wheels like 05 Up.

I know they're fugly, but don't look THAT bad in person

ccws or hres are just so much money, one 335 rear tire on this thing is like $600 lol

it's a 1994 RT-10 with 16000 miles, always garaged, never driven in the rain, the paint on this car looks like it just got off the showroom, it's FLAWLESS

I had a guy go up to me in the gas station yesterday and ask me "is that the new 08 " ?

Eventually once I get past the fear of driving the damn thing, all I read about in the Viper forum is how EASY it is to wreck this thing. there's even a thread titled "VIPER WRECK STORIES"

Damn-sick mileage. I have read the stories, all the TQ just off idle, I dont doubt its ability to get sideways quick.

plus it has a short wheelbase, that doesn't help either.

The Gen-1's have a bit less power than the Gen-2's, but here's roughly what a stock Viper's dyno looks like.

it pulls at any given rpm, it's insane, in the Z, I would be around 1500rpm and the car would drag itself slowly towards 2k, but here it just SOARS there, i barely tapped the gas on a turn yesterday, and felt the rear go loose

definately not a daily driver, thank god I have my altima haha

400 ft/lbs @ 2500rpm is nasty! Takes me 4000rpm's to hit that, but by 5000rpm's Im at 570ft/lbs on pump. LOL

We need to start a new thread to just chat about the possible plans that Alberto is having. Too much talk all over the Mid-A forum. We need one single forum to consolidate the information.

hmmm, I'm not that pressed about what it could be, I'll just wait to see the thread and the numbers along with quarter mile times.

When you consider that a new set of rubber for this car runs around $1500 installed, it eats into your wheel budget pretty quick.
