    Does anyone know anything about this car or have any experience with it?

    Thanks for the help!

    Will

    Interior is hideous. I can't believe someone paid $5,500 for that mess...

    He bought the car 4 years ago and let it sit in his garage since. Hmmm,....

    Yeah the interior is not what I would have done with $6k. I'm definitely having some doubts. It's weird to not find any kind of information on the car here, no build pictures or any videos. Glad not the only one that's seeing some red flags.

    That tiny intercooler would concern me.

    Still just a factory motor with a twin turbo kit slapped on. For that kind of money, I'd want a completely built motor.

    I like it. I doubt that the engine is stock. If it was then there would be no reason to buy THAT GForce trans when one of the 1200hp trannies would be good enough. The Billet front plate on the big dollar GForce is only required at 1300whp.

    I doubt a stock engine would get 1000miles with 900 to over 1000whp ... The stock main caps tend to oval after 800whp.

    But I definitely would ask for proof of engine work. An hour ot two is all it would take to remove the oil pan and windage tray to check the rods, mains and pistons.

    Can't believe the dash got carbon covered but they did not bother to do the Air bag that makes the rest look horrid IMO.

    Also if the car does run that kind of power I would want a serious brake upgrade FIRST! Those look like stock calipers and rotors to me

    Love the blacked out lights and stealth look but I think there may be bigger issues at hand? There also seem to be some Wires and piping very close to those headers in the engine bay!

    Brakes and Drive train First for me, then think about engine upgrades

    If the motor was built, I think it would have been listed that way. Instead, he just includes the invoice for the $65k in work that was done...none of which includes the motor.

    Furthermore, just because he got charged $8,500 for a G-Force transmission, doesn't mean he got the best one out there. And I've seen several stock bottom end Vipers last more than 1000 miles with 900 rwhp even on a blower with a good fuel system. And this car has pretty much just been sitting.

    Still sounds like a stock long block with twin turbos, fuel system and AEM to me.

    My car makes more on just a blower and pump gas than that thing does on the C16 race gas tune. I'm underwhelmed.

    Yes, he could be lying too. It's why I recommended PROOF of engine work before buying.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't RSI charge about $50,000 for a 750whp TT kit with no engine work?

    It doesn't say if it has Unitrax or DSS axles but I would expect that even a test drive with DRs would blow stock axles out of the car. No quarter mile times etc. Definitely not a very informative ad

    17 lbs of boost for 900rwhp on pump. Not a good combo.

    I don't know what to believe about anything anymore as far as stock limitations.

    I just went to the drag strip in my Paxton/meth car that makes over 700 whp and 760wtq and launched it 10+ passes on DR's with stock axles, and stock clutch and everything held up fine. I even wheel hopped pretty bad on one of the launches at 4 grand. Lucky? Or do people over-exxagerate things? Guess I'll find out as I am putting together a turbo kit in my garage right now that will push 900-1000whp on a stock longblock short of upgraded valvetrain.

    The car is mine that is for sale.

    I bought the car with the work already done on it.

    The car does have a stock engine.

    I have been part of the viper community and forums for a long time, and I guess I am not disappointed by the comments! LOL

    To all the negative comments about the vehicle. Yes it could be built more, and yes it could be built less. Just because it is built a certain way doesn't make it a bad car.

    You need to tone down the eye sore interior and get rid of those fog light vents. Then it will be a nice looking car.

    Um fog light vents? Those would be intercoolers, I would hope he wouldn't want to get rid of those.

    Then paint them black or put something over it to clean it up. At first glance it looked like grill covers for the intercooler.

    If he put something over it then they wouldn't get air to them..... you're embarrassing yourself.

    I like the car, even the coffin interior. It fits the dark theme. Like a Munsters Viper

    I think its an incredible car. It is right in the vein of what I'm looking for but I'm just leery of modified cars. It would probably be great and run like a top but there is always those other unruly forces...Murphy's Law and statistics.

    And yeah covering up those ugly intercoolers might add some complications.

    I saw an Audi R8 with the Diamond stitching and it looked really sharp. I get what the original owner was trying to do with the interior. I applaud folks trying different ideas.
