I am not registered on the site, so I didn't read the thread.
But just from Location, and mention of a Comp Coupe, my guess would be that it's Manny's car back on the track.

He's the one that had the DLM GTS, that had a full Autoform Body kit, looks a little like the comp coupe. Manny is also the one who did the Video of the races vs the Busas.
He had a problem with his car and I haven't seen him post since.

Nope it not Manny's car according to him...He doesnt have a pic of the car Austin but I posted a pic of the PVO comp coupe and he said its exactly like that but without decals.....heres his initial post.

"so today a group of us decide to hit up the drag strip...

i decided not to run due to no bcc and my boost still acting up, and didnt want to run a low 13 and make supras look bad...

anyways we're just having a fun night and there are two cars that completely have my attention..

the first is just [******] nutts....an 05 competition coupe SRT10 viper with the gawdamnest biggest blower ive ever seen..

the other being a rediculously clean yellow z06 vette...

well the first up of the two that catch my attention is the z06....when hes warming up his tires listening to the car im already just like .....then he lines up and goes...and holy [******] was that the [******] craziest sounding car ive ever heard...at that time im like hes definately got at least built heads.....it goes through and runs an 11.7

next up...the blown viper....he heat cylcles his tires for like 20 minutes creating the most giant cloud of rubber smoke and wind sends it into the bleachers and the tracks onlookers as well as shooting random flames out of the side exhausts...the car sounds good...but still not quite as loud as the z06...comes up to the line.....spins the tires through 1st...shift...spins through 2nd...shift...spins through 3rd....then hes gone and comes through with a 12.3 ....i was dissapointed...

later in the evening...when we decided we were freezing and wanted to leave, as we are nearing the freeway entrance...all of a sudden the same z06 is next to me...i try to get his attention to just give him props and congrats on the fantastic times...but hes talking on the phone so no luck, whateva...

we get on the freeway...and then he pulls up and just stares me and my freind down, i just give him a thumbs up...then hes just pacing me...and all of a sudden drops the gear and is sitting there with it revving crazy high and he is leaning foward making the funniest expression like hes about to fight to the death..i really didnt want to run him because of the pointlessness...but im just like whateva i wanna see what it can do on the freeway...i just stick it in 5th at like 70mph and floor it.....he jumps ahead [******] crazy hard i hit boost cut, shut down...im like ok thats coo......he then slows, and i give him thumbs up and i pass him...he then gets behind me like he still wants to go(so im figuring he knew i wasnt really trying)...he then lines up along side me again, then i say ok whateva...stick it in 4th at about 70 again...floor it and we stay even for a second...then he begins to pull away, i hit boost cut....he continues to pull...he then slows again, and i come up, he throws the peace sign, we give him a thumbs up....and before we split ways...some [******] ricer rsx speeds up and almost gets in an accident when changin lines as if he "wanted some"....we then split ways....

..fun night"

Didn't Treynor just get a SRT-10?

Yes he did, but this is a Comp Coupe not the SRT10 vert...I just got confirmation from two guys that were at the drags and they both say it is indeed a Competition Coupe....Its a red with no stickers...Hmmmm. Wonder who it could be? Would love to see a Heffner TT like Chads on a 3000lb Comp Coupe.

12.3 from a Comp Coupe with a supercharger?
It's certainly possible if he was still getting used to dragracing the car and spinning the tires wildly, but still pretty disappointing since he could likely just upshift early and easily get into the 11s. :laugh:

Ahhhh yep Cali speedway. That sure doesn't look like a CC to me. Whats up with the Gen II seats, and stock fuel door setup. From what I can tell it's a GTS that has been hacked up. And doesn't look that good either, should have left it alone.

That is a Gen II with body kit. Definitely not a comp coupe, but it could fool some of the people some of the time.

He saw pics of Mannys car and said its not that one...It was a <font color="red">"RED" </font> Comp Coupe so unless there is a <font color="red">"RED"</font> Autoform GTS out there. He said he has pics on his Phone cam so Ill wait till I see it before I level the BS hammer on his ***...If he ever posts it over there Ill post the pics here...

How much does the guy know about Vipers?

Manny's car looks nothing like a Comp Coupe.

Get that hammer ready! :p

Yeah time to bust out the B/S 15# sledge. There are lots of funky cars running around socal so a red autoform GTS isn't out of the question at all.

Absolutely not a Comp Coupe, and it looks alot like a couple of cars done by Autoform. It was stated correctly that this is a Gen II with a body kit, though the car does look good.

There is a red Autoform SRT with a Paxton S/C that is out of So Cal. It was at the Buttonwillow Viper days event. From what I remember, it had the autoform front fascia, splitter as well as the hardtop and a small wing. It was definitely NOT a Comp Coupe. Great looking car though! :)
