Proud owner of a new (to me) 2006 UGR TT Vert Viper

[Wallacehat]

Wallace Hattenhauer here, in Little Rock, AR. I recently acquired my first Viper, and figured "Go big or go home" right? anyway, I am searching for every bit of information I can on the car as I plan to not only enjoy her (affectionately named "Valencia") at the occasional road course/half-mile/mile/autocross events, but also at an occasional car show. The biggest problem I'm having is figuring out who painted the car...I know it started life in FL, then a leasing company from CT titled in in TN or vice-versa. I have a ton of build pics from the previous owner and the team at Auto Integration in Minnesota, but the previous owner bought the car already painted. It had a very extensive Rockford Fosgate system in it with hundreds of LED lights throughout the car, behind the speakers, etc which were all removed during the A/V and Interior re-design.

Also, if you have any information to share about the history of this car (My understanding is that it's original owner was "James" and it was originally black, and it is one of the featured cars on UGR's site. It was then sold and the history says something about being titled in Tennesse to a leasing company in Connecticut. I get asked every day about the paint, and I have no clue who painted it, but i'd love to know!

Anyway, here she is when she was at AIS in Wisconsin:

Welcome!

[MoparBoyy]

welcome... go big or go home is right! I'm here in Central FL granted i've only been here for 4 years but I have not seen that car before. Maybe one of the florida natives has more info on it.

[AZTVR]

Congratulations. Can't tell much from the small thumbnail photos that you posted; but, it looks like a cool car and done by a good tuner.

I was wondering who bought that car. I have seen it for sale for a little while on the Internet. You certainly went big. Nice car and it sounds like you are going to enjoy her.

Congrats!!! I saw that car priced for more than a 2015 gen V but hopefully you got a good deal on it. What kind of power does it make? Is a TT setup usable on the road course? Got any video of the car? I would love to hear the idle with those turbines spinning... :dude3:

[duffman04]

Welcome! Hopefully see you around Little rock. Awesome looking car!

[AZTVR]

Is a TT setup usable on the road course? It does bring up the question, is a TT usable for more than a mile at a time ? Can it go around corners after a straight? Is letting it out on a country road better than a road course? LOL. I see guys have fun with their blown cars at HPDE days. Where else can they have legal, low-risk fun with them other than a drag strip? You don't have to do 30 minutes of lapping if you don't want to.

Welcome and Congrats ! We need to see some drag strip launch video now... ( :

I copied the interior for my car from this one. I was close to pulling the trigger on this one but ultimately wanted a coupe instead of a convertible. I also wasn't a fan of the grey stripe, but it is no doubt a fantasticly built car.

I want to update my gauge cluster with something aftermarket like this, but its all custom and goes with the standalone.

CONGRATSSSSSSSS

[jvm728]

Also, I would recommend a Gen V steering wheel swap, which will bring the last component of that interior up to date!

[ViperPete]

Wow gorgeous color!

[smhog]

Welcome Wallace and nice choice. The interior mods make it sound like it was set up as a show car as well.
