For those that were at our Mopar event, you might recall me talking on the PA about the viper I had being built at UnderGround Racing. Well, I finally got it this past monday. I got to go play around with it today. Out of all the cars I've ever driven, nothing even comes close to this thing. It's amazingly civil around town, but has enough power to roast the tires at will regardless of the MPH. I took dad for a ride in it the other night. He really liked the car (outside of getting in/out of it). I plan on taking this car to as many mopar events as I can. If dad goes in the imperial, I plan on following in this. The car is currently set on the lowest setting, which puts 1000hp at the rear wheels. I have a few little changes I'm going to make to the car to finish it out, but here she is:



















Hope to see you guys some this year!

Sweet! I assume Elston exhuast is still installing the turbos?? He does a sweet job. Saw one up on the lift one time and I could not believe he could fit all that piping in there. He is an artist!

I need the back tire and the break, mopars at the rock, 1/8 mile. for a tea and cheesburger at the concession stand. LOL Looks good mike, did the message I sent you on HPjunkies work?

The LOWEST setting is 1000RWHP!!!!!
Killer car man!

Looking nasty as heck(moparts ).I have followed your progress on hp junkies as well.Can't wait to see some times.
Nice to see what I would be driving if I won the lottery!

Yes 1000hp, on pump gas too . I got 18mpg driving on the interstate monday. The car is an auto. If it were a stick, this setup is good for over 1500-1600 at the wheels. With the auto, it's limited to about 1300 due to the converter.

Still working on the other issue with inspection, looks like I got it worked out

What tranny?

TH400

Nice car boy!

I drove the car home from UnderGround on monday. It POURED for 2 days here. Today was the first day I could take it out. I've given about 15 rides to people so far. Just haven't had time to do video. I've had a lot people asking what it sounds like, so will be working on that hopefully on Saturday.

It is still IRS. I know I can get into the 8's easily, just a matter of how far I want to push it

OMG...your car is to die for I think I just blew a load . Seeing this is not helping me talk myself out of wanting to aquire one of those cars. I can see it already- car would be in the driveway for a month, Underground Racing would be on the phone and another financial meltdown begins.
Congrats on the finished product

I love it....."Oh look at that viper, looks pretty goo.....holy chit its got a parachute"

Sweet!!!

I put 6 figures into another tuner on a viper truck I have and was very disappointed with. UGR is fixing that abortion right now. I told UGR exactly what I wanted the car to do. They told me how much it would cost, when it would be done and kept me updated throughout. There were no surprises, nothing but incredible customer service. I will get them to build me another car down the road. It's so rare, sadly, to get TRUE customer service from a shop these days. We've gotten used to vendors who just want to take your money and could give a crap less what you think. These guys were 100% awesome and I can't imagine sending a project to anyone else.

The best deal going for a "budget" is to buy a 97-99 GTS (good rods/pistons) and throw a paxton on it. Don't quote me, but I think you can get around 900 rwhp out of their setup and total build cost is 15k. You can buy a GTS for mid-high 30's right now, lower mileage for 40's.

If you want to get something done on this level, buy someone's car that is already done, will be A LOT cheaper. I know where a car is that is built VERY similar to mine, but it is an 05 convertible. Car ran 8.53 at rockingham, I saw it with my own eyes. It's an auto as well. It has the best of everything. That's quite a bit more, around 125-130k.

My Goodness! That is the baddest looking Viper I've ever seen.
