Actually I have had the car for almost a month, but I have not posted any pictures yet, and I am not sure how to. I guess I need some place host them for me. Also, many thanks go out to all those that helped me out in making my decision and especially HOLD TYTE for going out and checking it out for me.

Congrats. Looks great. Blue or grey stripes look great on those too.


I agree. I saw a silver w/ blue stripes this past weekend. One of the best color combos I've seen yet!!

(the 19" Purners helped too...)

Good Luck with it

Alright alright. I'll change my username. I just gotta think of a good one. I have used BadTA for so long though. It is going to be hard to part with.

BadTA,
How does a stock viper compare to a "Bad TA"?

:)

DN

They are pretty close. The BadTA was putting out 425 RWHP and 395 RWTQ, and would pull a mid to high 11 second 1/4 mile around 123MPH. Plus it sounded bad ass! Like a Winston Cup car. Stage 2 heads, high lift/duration cam, longtube headers, 3" exhaust w/cutout open!!!!

Anyway, The Viper is diffenately a force to be reckoned with, but it has much better street manners. I can take the car out for a drive at 2am without ******* anyone off. That will soon change :laugh: I have not had a chance to dyno it or take it to the drags, but it feels pretty damn fast too. Oh yeah, and it feels like a go-cart when the turns come up. I'm sure it will have run circles around the Trans AM, in a road course, but I built the TA do one thing only.
