[2001 GTS]

Anyone know this viper. It was at a show here in Columbia and I didn't make it...but saw the pictures and wondered whats with the hood. Obviously has a good bit done to it.

I saw that Viper around the dam last fall/winter. It sounded pretty good but wasn't too appealing to me personally but I was passing it and didn't get a close up look.

What car show?

Looks like they borrowed the cones from Madonna's bra on that rear wheel.

Its a get together at Fatboy's off of 378 in west columbia.

Second saturdays every month...spring thru fall.

I used to go all the time...but haven't had a chance lately.

What is written on the back top of the hood?

I like the door edge guard.

Hood scoop looks like the one on the Stingray in "Corvette Summer". I bet its tough to see over that scoop sitting so low in a Viper to begin with. Everyone's got different taste!

I could do without the wheel cones and the door guard, but man, I love that hood and front facia. The cowl makes the hood look longer and it makes the car look like a Viper funny car.

I think that thing is fugly. I mean what is with the caps poking far out of the wheels? A cowl hood looks good on a Mustang, not a Viper.

Those wheels look like the old rims that you could remove the wire spokes or keep them on

Usually when you see a Viper with this many drastic body changes there is a good chance the title is a salvage and this is what was done to "repair" it.

What is written on the back top of the hood?

It says Le Mans

 

[2001 GTS]

Well...talked to this guy yesterday.

1st: He says the hood if from a le mans viper...and there were 14 of them made...and he said I could call Chrysler to get one

2nd: He owns a machine shop and has ported his own heads...and is now going to stroke the block to ~635ci

3rd: There is nothing special under that hood

and the best I could figure was the center caps on the wheels were for chariot races

I have had these pics for quite some time saved in "My Pictures." Same car... check out the roof, hood, front bumper. Must have been before wheels and door guard.

I hate to bash a Viper but the folder I have them saved in is called "Viper Nightmares."

That last shot of the hood is just rough IMO. Sorry to the owner (relative of Uncle Ben.)

 

[Simms]

Not for me.

I saw it again last week in Lexington. Hood is definitely unattractive to me but to each his own

 

[v10kingsnake]

F_U_G_L_Y and I will never apologize for saying it either. YUCK!!! The rims look like a damn roulette wheel in a 70's style disco themed casino. The gold door edging should be yanked off the car and the owner given 1 lashing for every dollar they flushed into the toilet doing those aweful mods.

I am planning on it. I had heard it was the 3rd Sat of the month but will put it down as the 2nd. I am usually on the water all weekend and that hinders the the Viper time .
