Hey Guys,

I would like to introduce ourselves. Although most of you may have seen the vids of our orange shop car on the street and events getting used and abused like a good R&D car supposed to  . We are now a sponsor on the board. I am Mike the sales manager over at Calvo Motorsports. Here at Calvo we are a one stop shop. From basic maintenance on anything from GTR and Supras to corvette, vipers, hell even ariel atom lol.To building monsters out of the Supra, Corvette, and Viper. You need 800rwhp no problem. You WANT 1500rwhp+ lets do it!!!. We are loving the vipers more and more. Most have seen our shop car the 2014 TA with our first twin turbo kit on it.

Great thing about our twin kit on the gen v is there is no cutting of the car ;). Our shop car currently makes right at 1000rwhp on what I would call pretty low boost. Car is super fun, very responsive and complete hwy eating up monster!!!! We push the limits on our car continuously from track events to roll race events(been in 3 roll racing events this year alone and now doing the Sulphur Springs ½ mile event in 2 weeks also).
Ok back on topic.Complete facility is climate controlled. All cars stay INSIDE!!!! We are blessed to have a talented team of awesome mechanics along with the man himself Antonio, 2 just completely bad ass fabricators. Together we all plan to bring you great parts from wheels(ccw,forgeline,weld,adv1,etc) , exhaust, fuel systems, turbo kits and more new exciting things as we continue with the r&d to look for new improvements to make the viper even better. As hard as that may be already since they are really great cars out of the box! We are focusing hard on the gen V platform so with you great enthusiasts I hope we can help each other with awesome deals, awesome parts and great tech info so we all can learn a lot!!

Now to some awesome pics. We have pretty much 4-5 of the venomous snakes in the shop at all times getting go fast packages;). Starting to get more and more Gen Vs!!!!!

I don't think I'll ever find a replacement for my Supra... Hence I'm always keeping it!! Gen Vs are cool but not a replacement for the Supra.

Hello guys,
I am Antonio, owner here at Calvo Motorsports. Thank you for all the kind words on our shop. We strive to have the cleanest most advanced shop around. We build everything in house from our motors to flanges. By doing this it allows us the highest level of quality control. Our shop Gen v twin turbo has constantly been at every roll race event in the last year in Texas, consistently trapping 161-164.6 MPH and has over 3000 very very abuse miles on the kit :) Please don't hesitate to ask Mike or my self any questions about any year viper!

I have seen Calvo Motorsports Turbo Viper at a few different events and it has performed well and not left the events broken like some other shops offering turbo kits. I checked out the car and the quality of work such as the wiring was far superior to what I have seen from another Viper "specialty" shop (that does not mean sub par work from every Viper shop, simply an example from what I have witnessed first hand).

Having dealt with a terrible situation with my Viper, having work done in house is a competitive advantage. In my situation the excuse I was constantly given was the vendors the shop chose to partner with are holding up progress (for over 2 years) however I was ultimately left with a rolling frame and the nightmare of trying to acquire the parts that were never returned to me to try to piece together my car.

I have spoke with the guy's at Calvo Motorsports on a few occasions and they have made me feel very comfortable with what they offer; I will be taking my UGR Twin Turbo Viper to them when it needs any servicing or work. Honest guys, great work, and a product that has shown to keep cars not only fast but also on the road to enjoy!

There are a few Viper shops nationally that are great (DLM, A&C, NTH MOTO, D3 are a few that I have had good experiences with ) and have helped me in any way they could (I am extremely grateful to have them in the Viper community), it is nice to be able to add another option to that short list of shops that I would trust with my needs after what I have been drug through.
