FWIW, turbo's would significantly quiet down the exhaust. If you're ever at a Viper gathering check out a couple Viper TTs and see if the exhaust note is too loud for you. If it's not too loud then you could consider replicating the LM Edition side pipes, selling your used supercharger locally and going with a twin turbo kit.
Just something to consider.

The second one of these cars belongs to a member of the WA VCA. It is definitely an eye-catcher and usually leads our group in 4th of July parades. It is extremely loud as I learned while following him in the parades. When he revs it up he scares the children and old folks. Funny to watch.

Meggleto...Already working on a twin turbo set up to be installed this winter. I already have the beefed up bottom end to handle the extra HP that set up will make. Maybe then I will put the side exhaust on..I had it on and it was deafening to the ears at WOT.

That is beutiful....Wish the factory made a limited run of a street version of both Oreca color schemes and some ground effects. In a weird way it looks kinda plain without the other stickers. Not that the car is plain. Its far from it...Very unique Viper
Not to quote myself but little did I know you were thinking along the same lines as I was....The car looks complete...Incredible
...Did you use the AutoArt model Viper[in this color scheme] for sticker reference? Just wondering since I remember the red/white Oreca replica one of you EuroViperOwners posted..Neil had said they used the AutoArt red/white model for sticker reference...Again great job 
This is one on two cars that were done by Hillsdale Dodge after the LeMan virctory. The paint was fair when I got the car and was not really correct. Unless you were looking at the Auto Art diecast the average enthusiast would never know. However me being the anal perfectionist I am, couldn't stand it so I had the car repainted by Autoform. They DID use the 1/18 Auto Art model as a scale and Club Concepts re-created the decals the same way....Driving it is a blast on the street...People don't know what to say. though. Finally got the GT Mustang kids to leave me alone...

Jeff the car looks fantastic. you are really going to take off the S/C system and put on a TT system on? dont you have enough HP already? (ok that was a dumb question) Who is going to put on you TT setup? Hopefully i will run into you soon i would love a ride in that land rocket.

Very Nice! We have the pleasure of attending the 98 LM when ORECA came in one and two in GT. I think these were the best looking Viper's.
Michael...I am giving the TT set up serious consideration. I have way too much $$ in my bottom end and would like to run an intercooler to help with the heat. I will be selling my whole ROE system including the Vec 2. I am not sure who is going to do the install yet. SVSi is a candidate. It isn"t really about more power it's about drivability.

I love the Gen III valve covers on the Gen II engine. Were there any problems with fit? Would they clear the 1.7 rockers? Very sharp paint job!

That is why we did the spacers..To clear the TD rockers. Was a pain to re-do the PCV system with the ROE..But worth it in the end..... on a personal note. I MISS YOU JLG

This was the best thread I have seen in a long time. The pictures and hearing how many others enjoyed this as much as I did. The valve covers look awesome in blue. Were they done in powder-coating? ** 5 Star **

RichieSRT10...The first time we did the covers we powder coated them but the metal didn't take the powder. So we blasted them and then painted them..Thanks for the compliments...
