Wanted to post this here for those of you that don't get over to the alley

I had previously owned an UR TT viper that I didn't build, bought it from Kevin who had bought it from a customer he had built it for. It was one of the first UR cars, I think Shank or something like that was the guy who originally built it. It had the small turbo's.

Anyway I fooled around with that car a bunch, on a trip to SoCal about a year and a half a go I saw a coupe, decided right then and there that I needed to build a coupe. The decision on who should build the coupe was became a no brainer after speaking with Kevin about the advancements they had made on their turbo builds, form the billet intake manifold to the billet cranks to the custom rear end billet pieces, I realized the UR had spent a ton of time on R&D and improving the viper builds.

Sold the car I had, bought this car (never saw it in person or drove it), had Kevin send a transport to pick it up and get it back to NC. In the interim I had planned out the build and purchased a bunch of the parts for the new car, lead time on a lot of the parts were 3 months or so. Shipped all of the parts off to Kevin that I supplied, meanwhile Kevin and the UR elves were busy @ the workshop taking apart and rebuilding my new toy.

Throughout the build process, and really ever since I've known Kevin, he has been first of all a friend and a very responsive and proactive vendor. The build wasn't an uncomplicated one, lots of different parts in previously untried combinations, coordination of timing between multiple vendors, etc. Throughout Kevin was very patient, I can't say that I was! I can say with 100% confidence that UR can handle the most complicated build, the end product I thinks speaks volume to this.

Now about driving this bad *****!!!

****ing thing vibrates my neighbors house when I run it in the driveway, how do I know this, the old bastard complained to my HOA!!

The best part of the car is the sequential box, it makes the whole TT Viper experience sublime. Rolling down the freeway, turbo's singing and you just pull the lever back, shift happens in 40-60ms (not sure which), bang your in the next gear. The ignition cut sometimes sends unburnt fuel in the exhausts which reignites and the car will shoot like 2 foot flames, its completely ridiculous, and completely badass. It must scare the **** out of people when I fly by, shot flames and pop on the freeway.

The car is just so stupidly fast it can be scary. I have taken a few people on rides, a complete white knuckle experience for them.

The car is a blindingly fast, rumbly, nasty mean spriited ride, just like I ordered

Those are hoosier R6's

the RWHP depends on the fuel
pump-1,0XX
100-1,2XX
C16-haven't tuned the engine for this, car with same build did 1,7XX on C16

thanks for the compliment!

How do you like the R6's? How do they hook up? Do you have to get heat in them before they stick? I'm thinking of getting a set for my 06 Coupe.

A mean machine.

I also would like to hear comments on the R6 with this kind of set up. I used the A6 most of this year and they stuck like glue. I am thinking about getting the R6's when my preset tires, the Michelin cups, ware out.

Beyond bad, R6 is my next tire as well, any comments on them would be appreciated. What kind of box do you have? Ricardo? Coil on plug ignition is another mod I've been thinking about as well, just incredible!

they hook pretty good on pump gas, above that they are ok if you modulate the throttle, but the tires will boil @ 150 (yes i know for sure)

they need a little heat, nowhere near as much as the sport cups.

if you're running stock power they should stick like glue

see above for my hoosier comments, i guess the bottom line on them is they are the best short of a drag radial, IMHO

The box is a Holinger Sequential 6 speed

The coils are LSX, coil near plug, not on plug (difference on CNP there is still a spark plug wire, COP=no wire

I'm going to have around 800hp-850hp to the wheels. Can you elaborate on what you mean about "the tires will boil at 150"? Thanks

To address one point real quick...My car makes 875rwhp and I've got 18dr's and I also have had 19 R6's. They both hook great!!! Of course 1st gear is useless, but on a decent day w/the sun out, I can use almost all of 2nd gear w/a little modulation, then 3rd gear dead hooks! It's a blast!!! On a nearly stock SRT/10 I had, you could hardly spin the tires if you wanted to w/the R6! I gave up the great looks of the 20in. wheel/tire combo for the usefulness of the 19in. wheel w/a stickier tire. Will never do anything different!!!

Now, onto the good stuff! Congrats on your build being complete! That is SO over the top I can't even believe it! One day I would love to have them build myself a car like that for the maxton 1 mile! I can't imagine what that thing must be like to drive! SICK! Congrats!
