Boost Ready RT/10

Thought the 6speed community might like this video of our customer's RT/10. Rick is a pretty amazing guy. About 7 years ago he was in a horrible accident in his last Viper and broke his leg in several places. Many said he would never walk again. After his recovery he bought a 2000 RT and immediately started modifying it. He drives it everyday and it now has about 80,000 miles on it.

Rick used to drag race a Hemi Cuda years ago, so he wanted to drag his Viper. We have it setup with a drag clutch (very heavy pedal), its very painful for him to shift the car with his bad leg, but he never complains. He drove his Viper to Mopar’s at the Strip in Vegas, ran a 9 second 1/4-mile and then drove home. He really loves his car.

All of us at DC Performance want to thank Rick, he is an inspiration to all Viper owners.

That RT/10 sounds very healthy. I have been thinking about putting a roll bar like that in mine.
