Took some pictures of my buddies freshly painted Viper today

A little black to accent goes a long way.

Its all good fun

Unpractical and cool car but I'm done with vipers other than maintaining one I had to repair in which underground racing couldn't separate symptom from the underlying problem and instead tried to blackmail the owner when the car repeatedly overheated.

Sadly, a fellow employee here decided to place intercoolers where there is no airflow so he still has intake air temperature issues if he stays on it for very long.......but at least it doesn't blow head gaskets every two weeks.

At six five, I don't seem to fit well into any sporty dodge, chrysler, or mitsubishi cars but have no problems with room in porsches, toyotas, and nissans.

see the awesome GTR! I'm a American/eroupean car lover, but that baby can corner like a banshee

GTR doesn't fit me like the earlier nissans but easier than the above mentioned "Diamond Star Motors (DSM)" cars.

We had Switzer performance come along on one of our testing sessions at kennedy space center and it went 200mph in the standing mile though it's much better as a drag car.

Very nice! Poor kids now adays only race in their Honda civic hatchbacks and integra. Silly kids!

What bothers me the most is that engine producing less than 500hp from 8.0L.

[Ripsnort]

Great pictures! You have an eye for framing it just right!

Awesome white paint too!

[Dimebag]

the tag is great!

it got a VTEC in it?

red calipers would be hawt

white is last on my list for a color on a car.
Too much like a refrigerator, and every 3rd car here in AZ is white.

Tuff to get a decent photo as the white sucks all the contrast out and makes it tuff to show the dynamic range in the reflections on it
..your photo's did a good job on a poor subject ..it'll never show up in a photo the way it looks in real life tho.

I prefer color or even a shiny black
.. a good color brings out the lines of a car, especially if there's a little metallic in it.

Each to their own tho.. vette club calls vipers 'clown shoes' ..I have always liked their shape.
Could never stand the sound of the motor when stock ..just doesn't sound right to me.
Cammed up and barkin tho ..sounds great

It is producing over 500hp. The dyno shows wheel horsepower, add in drive train loss and it is over 500 at the flywheel. You also have to realize the car is 11 years old. Engine technology and design has come a long way since then. The pure torque of this car is just awesome. He is planning on buying a ROE supercharger or it when ROE releases the next batch.

White is very tough to capture and this was my first time with a white car. I am not that happy with the pictures and would like another attempt.

Btw: this is what he sold to get the Viper :

[Masherbrum]

He is obviously a plain person.   

The Viper already has crappy Rocker Panel Covers that get nice and hot, then in turn warp.   White was an atrocious choice without a question, with no accent color.

The Vette also looks plain jane because of the poor wheel choice. 

Sadly, the cars suffer from piss poor decisions.

I have to agree with you. I've told him the wheels on the vette are hideous and that black wheels on were cool in 2004, but its his money.  The blacked out tail lights really bug the crap out of me as well. In all honesty though the pictures don't do the viper justice. It looks fantastic in person

He sold a Corvette for a Viper?

I don't even..

Why?


The rear end of the early 2000's Vipers is just ugly no matter what. Those tail lights don't seem to fit the end at all. Nice looking Viper though.
