New old car... Photoshop anyone???
 

Just got back from Texas on Friday eveing, went to pick up another viper. This one is older (93) and has a decent amount of add-ons including the hardtop and windows in the pic. It is also an RT-10 (convertible style) like the other in my pic. It has some stuff done to the engine (ported head, cam, headers, etc) and made 46X rear wheel hp and a little over 500 rear wheel tourque on a "conservative" tune. I didn't need another but pretty much couldn't pass it up the deal as it was only $23k. I figured it would be better to mess with this car at the track than take my other car which has low miles.

Here is a link to the exhaust sound (stumpled across this on the viper forums):

So far I like the car; just ordered up a power steering cooler and a line lock for it. Seems a bit faster than my black viper but we haven't lined them up. Hoping to get this thing out to the brainerd road race course quite frequently. Looking at drilled/slotted rotors, road race tires, and racing brake pads now.

I have added a side pic. With the top on, it looks like the car needs a wing. Anyone good with photoshop who can add one??? I am also considering stripes, what do you think and what color (have seen black, sliver, and white stripes)?

If anyone is interested in one of these, now is a great time to buy. I will probably be selling my black one pretty soon aswell.

Here are a couple pics. Car is dirty but I guess you can't tell...

Re: New old car... Photoshop anyone???
 

I like the black one better. Cool though, great deal ;)

Re: New old car... Photoshop anyone???
 

looks a ton better with windows and the hard top on it

Re: New old car... Photoshop anyone???
 

Nice buy!

Re: New old car... Photoshop anyone???
 

The early vipers are my favorite. That one looks pretty hot!

Re: New old car... Photoshop anyone???
 

Man, its like they're on clearance or something...

Re: New old car... Photoshop anyone???
 

I hate you.

Re: New old car... Photoshop anyone???
 

I like the color. Looks great!

Re: New old car... Photoshop anyone???
 

Looks good! The hard top really looks nice.

Re: New old car... Photoshop anyone???
 

great deal for that! I love how that year Viper looks like.

Re: New old car... Photoshop anyone???
 

way hot. i want to test drive one =]

Re: New old car... Photoshop anyone???
 

Drooling. Look hot as heck in RED.

Re: New old car... Photoshop anyone???
 

Very nice.

Re: New old car... Photoshop anyone???
 

Thanks. I like the black one better unless I am cruising the lake ;) . The red one stands out a whole lot more which got me pulled over in Kansas on the way home. He let me off though with a warning (84 in a 70).

Some of these are pretty much on clearance. The market has dropped quite a bit on vipers in the past year. Alot of people with older vipers are finding it easy to sell the one they have now and buy a newer one as they can now afford it.

I am probably going to sell the black one. I just painted a hardtop for that one but don't know how much more I will be driving it. Right now, the top is off the black one sitting in the garage and the top is on the red one. If I want no top, I will drive black, want a top, red.

I can take people for rides but I hessitate on test drives as most people aren't used to the tourque.

Yeah the amount of TQ is rediculous I haven't driven my friends '05 around and the amount of TQ at any point in the RPMs is unbelievable.

If only I could let go of my DSM? :o(

^^^ That is why we had issues keeping James' (slowbubblecar's) viper on the track at Brainerd. I slid off the track twice and him once. Not that he is a better driver, just that I was pushing it a bit more than him ;)

Re: New old car... Photoshop anyone???
 

They are fun to drive. I got a little squirrelly with mine around a corner, but it's easy to correct. RWD and torque are a lot of fun, kinda like driving on an icy road, but in the summer. Nicely bought at $23k by the way.

Re: New old car... Photoshop anyone???
 

any chance of this Viper appearing at future dyno day or meet?

Re: New old car... Photoshop anyone???
 

BS... You should have seen the BIR instructor telling me to slow down. I probably went faster and controlled it better. The one time I did lose it was due to torque and probably crap on the track. The instructor didn't even know what caused us to go around in circles as I was easier on it that time than other laps. He thought I was doing well.

Re: New old car... Photoshop anyone???
 

Mine was at the dyno day this spring. Will likely bring the red one out for a dyno day and possibly mine again if I get time to do a few mods. I just have stuff sitting here and am not sure if/when I want to install them. Nothing major though. We are thinking of trying to get the red car to be a 10 sec street car that we would take out to the road course at BIR. Only been to the road course once but it is addicting.

The red car does look and drive nice. I am not as big on the look of the converts (why I got a hard top) but the converts look pretty good with this brand of hard top on it.

You need to take a couple pics of the black and red one together.

Re: New old car... Photoshop anyone???
 

I will soon. Could now but swapping some parts. Red one needs to be faster ;)
