Yeah GTS, there was a great article about him & his story about it in one of the Viper magazines (He just recently passed away, I think in the last month or so) And I think there was mention about that in the last copy. I didn't realize there had been quite a few auto's put in them though, I knew of only a couple.I hate the fact that those guys are touting it as some rare factory one off...it's not. There's been plenty of automatic swaps in Vipers...
But the reason that this thread caught my eye is because quite a few years ago I was at the Warnock Viper show and I met with a paraplegic Viper owner. The car was fitted with a automatic and hand controls on the steering wheel. I can't remember the year or if the color was black or steel gray but I just remember the owner clearly telling me that there was nothing that was going to stop him from driving a Viper. One of the many stories that stuck in my mind.
