The amount of badassery is overwhelming, thanks to my good friend Atppilot, I really appreciate everything!!

I came from a 600 rwhp 03 cobra, so I am used to the power, now having it with out a blower is awesome :)


here is some eye candy

Welcome aboard! Did Tim sell you his car or is that one similar to his? Tim has been very helpful to me as I've asked questions, great guy! I'm glad he convinced you of the Vipers badassery, enjoy in good health!

Wecome and congrats. I came from a Kenne Bell 03 Cobra as well, but these cars handle A LOT different. Learn her before you push her. Have fun!

Thanks for all the nice comments, yes it was Tim's car, and yes he is awesome!
it has ccw's but not sure what specific rim.,., they are 19's, and the tires are nitto invo's 285 in the front and 345 in the rear,., I love everything about the car. but no plans other than enjoying it :)
Lee Saunders is already asking me to take to Sebring.,., It will be a will before if I ever beat on her. I plan on driving it everyday for a month getting used to it little by little so I learn her idiosyncrasies, since I know its diff than the cobra, I have not even floored it yet. Yes it is lowered but I am not sure by how much. Soon I am going back to Tim's to have some school on what I need to know. But I love the car so far!

Tires look narrow in the back. Are those aftermarket rims as deep as the factory? Tires definitely look too narrow.

Maybe just the angle of the pic then. I know from the back, Viper's looks like a mini tub was performed to the rear.
Rear: 345/30 ZR 19

Not sure what the bolt (on the lift cross beam on the right) with the clevis in your first picture is for, but the bolt definitely looks bent!

Good deal! I'm glad it was just the angle of the photo. Great car!!! I too have a lift (Bendpak 9000) and don't know how I made it before. Art
