If you want to pay him he will take. All i can say is that guys Vipers are ridiculously fast...For Porsche there are better shops for less money. If i had a Viper it would ONLY go to him.

He's a awful guy and I would never trust him...he may be "good" now but if anyone does research on him, you will be SUPRISED what you find.

just a quick search on viperalley or on the viperclub and you would see the kind of customer service problems he is involved in.

Jim,

You have Imagine Auto and Switzer Performance close to you.
They should be able to give you a wide variety of options.
I have met John, and on a good day he would just as soon yell at you as look at you.
His customer has to be some special breed...
(Our local Viper club who I know very well, do NOT like or respect John. I have not done any business with John, although
his shop is very impressive and the cars in there were very impressive. Most of us are lucky enough to be able to pick and
choose and do business with who we like. You have (2) very good options close to you, call them, talk to them and it all
depends if you want an "off the shelf" product or a truly customized monster.
Good Luck,

MK

Serious issues with a lot of Viper owners. Always about money and parts.
I don' think John would be welcome at the national Viper meeting. Nor would he show his face

I was looking at a car he already did a 700hp motor for and claims 2.9second to 60 and 129mph quarter ,,,was just wondering on the validity of the claim???I guess everyone in the tuning business gets there the same way -BIG BOOST its all the little thing that go along with it !!!!
