Ray, THANK you so much! That is awesome. Exactly the look I was going for.

Robert, I know was just doing my regular searches on craigslist and found this. The price offered was below many other vipers so I had to jump on it. I LOVE the color. This car gets soo many looks.

This car though is SCARY and trust me, I am going to take it easy on ANY TURNS. I have too many stories of people letting the rear get loose. And I doubt I would ever drive this car in the rain, not worth the risk.

Fred, I have all the a-arm bearings for those cars as well as some JRZ's that work the best of any of the shocks we've tested. I've done a fair amount of parts over the years for vipers ... send me an emial and I'll hook you up(also have big brake kits too). Pretty sure I can help you find someone up there to do the work ... if not, it's just a quick road trip to so So. CAl and the basics can be done in a couple days and back to you. I also have a guy down here that does one of the best roll bars I've seen for a viper. There are a couple other guys as well, around the Costa Mesa area that you'll hear a bunch about but when it comes down to it, they are more bark than bite. Let me know how far you want to go (I know for you that means about as far as it can go) and I'll do everything I can to help.

Re: I'm Back, sort of ;-)

Nice indeed! A few of my pals have ACR's (or used to) and I have to say go for the Corsa exhaust if you can. Sounds sick and without cats will shoot flames just how you like it... Might want to add rockers to the mod list. Cheap but a good idea... There's a few Viper places in NorCal. Valaya Racing is one and there are a few more... Might want to put a super charger on it too lol!

Simply missed having some high HP/Torque.

Just picked it up yesterday.
I plan on lowering it, smoked signals, headers, cams, intake, and exhaust.

If anyone knows of a place to get all this work done in Northern California please let me know.

thanks guys!

thanks everyone.

I will go to valaya racing as I have had 3 people tell me to go there.

Thanks Cary about the suspension but I am not going to go all out on this car like the TT. I want a smoother ride and will simply lower the car.

Robert, no 20's. As for wheels that will come later if I do change. Gotta take care of the suspension, exhaust, headers... first.

Now I can join you guys on car meets and keep up ;-)
