New Photos of my Viper

[SUN RA KAT]

New Photos of my Viper didn't get done tonight as I had promised because I went a-Vipering again instead.

Sorry.

I pulled out of my garage to park it on the driveway and then pop the hood to take some photos, but it was already running and this was the first time I've had my Viper in weather below 80-90-100+ degrees.

(My Viper sounds like a monster big block with open headers that are just barely muffled.)

I had gotten special Viper floor and trunk mats from the North California Viper Club earlier in the day. Black mats with a big smirking snake head and "VIPER" all in Yellow to match my car. Then later in the day I got my Sean Roe Racing VEC1 and a letter staing my deposit for the Sean Roe Supercharger had been recieved.

Driving a Viper in cooler temperatures is just like driving any other vehicle with a cold air intake - it makes much more power.

I finally came home as the night sky turned from dark blue to grayish black and watched the stars come out and just sat in the Viper for an hour while my heart rate slowed down slowly. I had scared myself again with the unbelievable accelleration. I had taken the Viper to 5500 RPM several times at 2/3 throttle and the last run of the night I went to 5800 RPM at 3/4 throttle.

Or so I thought. With the engine off and parked in my driveway watching the stars come out I checked for the first time how far down is the floor with the snake pedal. I thought I was going 2/3 pedal, but it was only 1/2 pedal. My ultra scarey 3/4 pedal was only 2/3 pedal.

I'll try tomorrow to get the photos...

SebringSilverC5 - I didn't look down, I felt with my foot! In my shoe, no less! I felt the angle of my foot when I thought I was at 3/4 pedal with the engine off and then pressed further to see how far the floor I had gone - that's when I found out I had been only 2/3 snake pedal.

Now I got the photos and I'll post them here over several more posts!

I found a patch of shade this morning and gave my Viper a bath and took some photos, too. Enjoy.

Kenny,

ruckdr -
It's the only non-Dodge car in my family. It's my wife's 1999 Chrysler Town & Country AWD. My daughter drives a '88 Caravan with genuine fake wood sides (not pictured). I drive the Intense Blue 2000 Ram 1500 (The Mighty Dodge). It's modded out to have around 360 horsepower from the 360 V8. It's my all season vehicle, though right now I'm usually found in my Viper (The EAKMOBILE).

My Viper gets the best gas mileage of all my family's cars and I really am trying to get worse gas mileage in it.

=============================================================

The shift knob and A/C knob, coin holder, power outlet plug, and glove box are all MGW items. The license plate frame is also by MGW especially for Woodhouse.

The floor mats and trunk mat are custom mats from the North California Viper Club.

The lowered clutch pedal is a Sean Roe device.

Both seats are lowered by the 2" drop non adjustable seat tracks and custom raised 1" in the front only by Woodhouse.

The exhaust tips are the Corsa 3" to 4" tips cat back system.

The hidden by the factory heat shields headers are Belanger Headers. Random Tech ultra high flow cats are hidden by the side sills.

Somewhere under the hood is the Sean Roe fan & timer kits.

Somewhere under the center console is the lightweight flywheel.

EBC Green brake pads are at all 4 wheels.

Sean Roe smooth tubes in red and S&B filters are at the front of the engine.

The Sean Roe VEC1 is on the eating bar inside my house waiting for me to find someone small enough to crawl under the dash to install it.

can you post some pictures of the car from these angles?

From the very top.. Can you get on house and shoot a pic straight down?
I would like to see what a yellow viper engine looks like from the pavement up..
Also, what does under the dash look like?

Thanks!

Gerald

/sarcasm off....

Nice car , btw

 

[SUN RA KAT]

I'll get you those shots, Gerald!

 

[BUD]

Nice!

 

[Bonkers]

Kenny I thought your Bumblebee earned her strips... where are they?? None the less, she's very nice...

 

[SUN RA KAT]

Bonkers - It didn't come with stripes, but they could have been added for $3,000 (same as factory cost) by Woodhouse. I love the way it looks without stripes (if it had stripes I would say I love the way it looks with stripes). At any rate, I would rather put money in making it run better - go fast mods for the Viper & Viper Days in the Spring for the Viper Driver. This is my first manual shift car & I try to take it out for drives in light traffic every nice day to build the driver's skills.

Gerald - I'm trying to rent a cherry picker so I can get those overhead shots that you wanted. I'm also trying to hire a midget photographer that can take the photos of the underside of the dash for you, too.

Why are you posting like a 1000 pictures of a yellow GTS viper, we all know what it looks like. Shouldn't you be out driving it as opposed to climbing on your roof (which I know you have experience being santa clause and all) and taking pictures. Maybe some of you can fill me in on the infatuation of spamming this board with soooo many pics of essentially a stock viper, you have a nice viper...we get it...I got it 500 pictures ago...and don't forget that no matter how many angles you try and take, its still not going to look as nice as a 360 Modena.

Yes! I think we should ban anyone who posts pictures of a Viper! How dare you? Have you no shame, SUN RA KAT? What is worse is that I actually get the feeling you LIKE owning and modifying your new Viper. This kind of enthusiasm has no place on a VCA forum!

Sarcasm aside, it looks great and I love to see new owners' excitement.

I rather enjoyed the display of pictures. I hope you plan to clean out that garage so you can park that snake in a safe place. Now all you have to do is find a home that costs more than your cars and you will in with rich crowd like "cream cheese through a donkey"
