Some pics of my Underground TT Viper
I had previously owned an UR TT viper that I didn't build, bought it from Kevin who had bought it from a customer he had built it for. It was one of the first UR cars, I think Shank or something like that was the guy who originally built it. It had the small turbo's.
Anyway I fooled around with that car a bunch, on a trip to SoCal about a year and a half a go I saw a coupe, decided right then and there that I needed to build a coupe. The decision on who should build the coupe was became a no brainer after speaking with Kevin about the advancements they had made on their turbo builds, form the billet intake manifold to the billet cranks to the custom rear end billet pieces, I realized the UR had spent a ton of time on R&D and improving the viper builds.
Sold the car I had, bought this car (never saw it in person or drove it), had Kevin send a transport to pick it up and get it back to NC. In the interim I had planned out the build and purchased a bunch of the parts for the new car, lead time on a lot of the parts were 3 months or so. Shipped all of the parts off to Kevin that I supplied, meanwhile Kevin and the UR elves were busy @ the workshop taking apart and rebuilding my new toy.
Throughout the build process, and really ever since I've known Kevin, he has been first of all a friend and a very responsive and proactive vendor. The build wasn't an uncomplicated one, lots of different parts in previously untried combinations, coordination of timing between multiple vendors, etc. Throughout Kevin was very patient, I can't say that I was! I can say with 100% confidence that UR can handle the most complicated build, the end product I thinks speaks volume to this.
Now about driving this bad *****!!!
****ing thing vibrates my neighbors house when I run it in the driveway, how do I know this, the old bastard complained to my HOA!!
The best part of the car is the sequential box, it makes the whole TT Viper experience sublime. Rolling down the freeway, turbo's singing and you just pull the lever back, shift happens in 40-60ms (not sure which), bang your in the next gear. The ignition cut sometimes sends unburnt fuel in the exhausts which reignites and the car will shoot like 2 foot flames, its completely ridiculous, and completely badass. It must scare the **** out of people when I fly by, shot flames and pop on the freeway.
The car is just so stupidly fast it can be scary. I have taken a few people on rides, a complete white knuckle experience for them.
The car is a blindingly fast, rumbly, nasty mean spriited ride, just like I ordered
