I've been looking at Vipers for a few years now and putting away cash each month. I picked up an 06 red coupe a few weeks ago and have been scouring these forums ever since.

Car already had some tasteful mods; K&N intake, Dynatech catback, BC coilovers, MGW shifter, double din stereo. I just received an SCT w/ tune from Todd @ A&C Performance. Todd has spent at least an hour with me on the phone giving advice and answering questions, great guy to work with and I look forward to loading up his tune and really waking this car up.

So far I have just done some basic maintenance. Oil/filter change, poly trans mount, new DS motor mount, repainted some dinged up interior pieces. Oh and I swapped all interior bulbs with LED as well as the reverse lights :dude3:

I look forward to joining a local Viper club and being active on the forums.

And now for some pics!

East Bay Area.

Yes he was. He did some nice work to the car. It needed a little TLC when I got it, but nothing too major.

Reason I went with a gen 2. Carb is a bitch so no s/c or turbos legal for you. Massage the heads and get exhaust. I don't remember what was done to the car. Spray might be best so the engine only gets beat up when needed. Also gears help a ton.
