Here is my 2002 ACR. It was previously owned and bought new by an older gentleman out of Texas, his son sold me the car as his father was unable to drive stick any longer. The car was BONE stock when I got it.

I have black viper emblems waiting to replace the stock red ones and will do so as soon as it warms up here.

I love the way it turned out! What do you think?

not a fan of stripes on red vipers. This is my 4th Viper and I liked my silver with blue stripe GTS but not a fan of stripes on red.

Honestly? If you want an honest answer the tinted windows are pretentious but then I have never been a fan of tinted windows, no offense meant to those who prefer them. The wheels are fine, nothing I'd invest in but not a deal breaker either. I have never, ever heard a stereo system sound good in a Viper no matter how big of box is put in the back or how much money is invested. For that reason when Angus Young destroyed my stereo I replaced it with relatively "low-profile" moderately performing components that pretty much fit in the stock locations. The ipod/usb hookup is pretty much an necessity these days, I still need to get that. The eject button is amusing and will require a sense of humor and some humility - nothing wrong with those characteristics.

Honestly, I prefer to know more about the exhaust system than any of those other things.

JMO, don't anybody go getting all offended. Your car, do whatever you want with it.

One suggestion, get some clear film for the headlights and fogs. The exposed lens' will dull over time. If you protect them now you can simply replace the film when it gets dull.

I appreciate the feedback, Chuck, this is my 4th Viper so I totally get your feedback and suggestion regarding the headlights! In terms of the exhaust system, Gooddings performance simply removed the mufflers/resonators and put in a few custom pieces / tips to make it look good. We kept the cats for emissions and they put in their own version of a resonator to keep the tone sounding good. Decent before/after results for a few hudred bucks (friends with the owner).

So you got 20 rwhp and almost 30 ft lbs from just the exhaust? That's really good! Nice looking car btw! Nothing beats a Gen2 :2tu:

probably trading it in unless someone wants it for $33,500 before I do (thats the trade in offer on the table). I have yet to pull the trigger on something new yet though so I'm kind of just in la la land right now waiting on the right new truck for towing.
