Viper Owner
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 update fellow Viper owners about my car. Especially those that are contemplating a DLM make-over.
I still couldn't be happier. I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM SINCE I GOT THE CAR BACK FROM DOUG, even as wild as it is. I've been on cruises with the Prowler Club and in various local Parades, and the engine has never overheated. My garage floor doesn't have so much as a drop of anything from my car. There are no rattles, squeaks, or any funny sounds coming from the engine as well. It still idles smooth and blows anything off the road. About 50% of the passengers still get tunnel-vision when "Boosting" from 60mph to 160. After 160mph, they just start screaming. Over 200 is not a problem (they get real quiet). I'm not sure there is a top speed? It would probably blow apart first...
For those asking "Where's the hood?", here's the skinny:
When I got my Viper back (1995 RT/10) from DLM, Doug said I'd need to put some cooling vents in the hood (as my year had none). I went to Jerry Wolf, the guy that designed the look and feel of my Viper, and asked him what we could do. At that point Jerry went nuts and designed a whole new hood for me. It's a two-piece unit with steel vents that match the engine. It's being made out of carbon fiber, and is three months behind. It will look pretty cool when finished and installed. It will also make the car more aerodynamic and afford more breathing room for the engine. All in all it should be done in a month or so. A company called Creative Concepts (Builder-Of-The-Year) is working with Jerry Wolfe to build it for us. I'll post pictures when done.
Here's a hood-less shot from Infineon this past Sunday:
