Default It's back!

Alright, so I wanted to make a post about this a few weeks ago but I decided to wait until we had pics and video available.

About 9 weeks ago a good friend of mine sent his '96 Viper GTS to Hefner Performance in Baltimore Maryland to be fitted with a custom twin turbo setup. Now, 9 weeks later he has the car back in it's stable and enjoying the hell out of it!!!! Listed below is just a few pics of the ride as well a link to a web site dedicated to the car. There are two action videos of this car on the site, one is 0-115 and another 0-150. The 0-150 vid is really impressive and really really does not do it's massive speed justice (cars 0-150 times were recorded via stop watch and a GEN II apexi rev/speed meter at around 10 secs). Keep in mind the cars boost is still in it's LOWEST setting (7lbs. 1st and 2nd and 10lbs. in other gears). The cars street setting will be 15lbs on 93 and high boost is an astonishing 19lbs on race fuel.
15lbs. w/93octane
~9**hp~
~1***torque~

19lbs.

That's cool and all, but that gap on the headlight is bugging me. I guess I am just never pleased with anything.

It's fake...not a even a real car. It's a counterfeit car. Just kidding, maybe it's a terrorist attact? They're taking over all Viper threads.

I'm interested to see a video, but so far it looks like we're SOL.
