Actually, the wheels are reinforced, powder-coated and polished. I like the stock wheels! The stock ones are now the rare ones. It makes it look "Viperish". -You spelled "Dropped" wrong...
Ya know, I think you might be right! I hadn't thought about that. I loved that movie at the time (high school). I actually love the Sapphire Blue with white stripes the best. However, that only looks good on a coupe. You think "Smokey and the Bandit" is rough, how about all the people who...
Nope! That's one thing I had to give up. But what-the-hey, I don't drive it in the rain anymore anyway.
As for the guy who thinks it's ugly, that's OK. My girlfriend wasn't too happy with it at first either. She thought I "goobered" that poor Viper up even more. I kinda like the "Retro"...
Several people have asked to see my new hood, designed by Jerry Wolfe and manufactured at his Studio. It was supposed to take two months. That was a year and a half ago! I just picked it up yesterday. It still needs a "rub-out" or two, but you'll get the idea.
When I received my Doug Levin...
Pretty much any of the GEN-II DLM cars would smoke me clean off the road. I'd loose even before we ran. Other GEN-II Vipers, however, are a different story :D
Doug (DLM) actually builds custom Systems to order, not kits. Every System is a bit different than the next. It's quite involved actually, so you might want to contact Doug himself. He's a great guy!
Just an update of a DLM every-day driver Monster Viper:
The car still runs better than new after thousands of miles and well over a year of CA driving!!
I was just out at Infineon (Sears Point to us Locals) on Sunday in the Viper/Prowler corral. It reminded me that I've been too busy to...
There are at least three different sizes, all within a few millimeters of each other. The most common is 8" x 4" x 8" (what I used). Two eight inch stripes, four inches apart. This is close enough and easy to do...
I forgot to mention that you should keep a few extra rear tires around, as they don't last very long! It's the whole "fish-tail at 145mph" thing. :eek:
I don't want to twist the car in half, so I've settled on changing the Pilots on the rear more often as opposed to getting stickier tires...
I've got the H.P. and Torque to do "9's" (as several of us do), but don't have the hook-up. I'm working through Jerry Wolfe with Papalo Racing right now to redesign and replace the drivetrain. If possible (I stress "IF"), then this might do the trick. I'm not wasting any more time on getting...
