Got to give commonsense credit. I've owned both the 06' Z06 and the viper. Still have two vettes and he's right on every point. If you want a serious street racer, go with the Viper!:2tu:
Hopefully have some more pics soon. I'd rather Jeff be busy building and not taking too many pics if you know what I mean, although the suspense is killing me!
Guess great minds think alike. Definetly won't be doing the interior anytime soon. Got another project going now as well treesnake if you'd like to mate a Z06 chassis, engine and trans to a 1966 body before I get mine done. Also, I bought new wheels just so mine wouldn't be like your's and I did...
I'm hoping next year to have the interior redone by the guy that was at VOI but I can't remember his name. Starts with a V. At that time I will definetly do the stripe on the wheel! Must give most credit to Jeff, all I did was write the checks and provide the car!
Here's the latest "teaser" pic as Jeff puts it. I know he's trying to show me as little as possible because the finished product is going to be so freakin incredible! I'm bout ready to jump on a plane so I can see it in person! If the car didn't still have shoe polish on the windshield from VOI...
They're the forgeline S03P, black with the polished outer and inner rim and the diamond cut on each spoke. 20 x 13 rear and 19x10 in the front. I've got a set of the ZX3R for the track that are 18's all around but I wanted to fill the wheel wells a little better for the street.
Jeff says we should have some cool pics any day now. JonB got a rush put on my new wheels so they should ship early next week and hopefully I can find a tire shop up in Holly, MI to mount some sticky rubber to them for jeff install on the car.
I dissagree! I think it looks SWEET!! Course, I'm pretty partial to the 96 Grand Sport as well. Can't wait to get my Street Serpent, gonna have to do somethig to the interior of mine next year as well.:2tu:
You should check with Jeff at A.P. Engineering. He makes a hood similar to the 08' for his street serpent package but I'm not sure its a direct fit replacent. His number is 248-329-2222.
Afraid not Jerry. Not to mention I was supposed to take my wife to Sante Fe this week and we had to cancel. My guess is I'd be in the outhouse for sure if I left for Springfield this weekend!
I'll be sure and post pics as Jeff gets them to me. When I saw these cars in Detroit I was absolutely floored! Took my car up to Holly, MI the next day and left it with him!
Damn, sorry Treesnake! I was back and forth on the Viper Violet and the Sapphire but I've got a close friend with a new violet ACR and didn't want to see him at all of our club events after copying his car. Hopefully with the black topside and mine being a convertible their will be very little...
Never posted anything in a forum before but I'm too pshyched bout my street serpent conversion that Jeff at A.P. Engineering is doing for me not to start a new thread. So far he's removed stock body and I assume casting the new panels. Will be painted Sapphire Blue with black hood, top and deck...
