This is my pride and joy. 97' Viper GTS with 1200 watt Alpine/ Mobile authority sound system. 570 HorsePower and of course an all Carbon Fiber body. Dual K&N ram air kits set right behind the hood scoop for some serious air delivery. Those alone added 50 HP. 13" wide rear tires! MSD wires with Nology Silverstone plugs. 17" chrome rims. This car speaks for itself. And when your a young guy with a Viper, money, and badass connections all around a city full of Hotties, what are you supposed to do??? PARTY LIKE A ROCKSTAR!!!!!
I also got the heads ported/polished/shaved, and added a performance chip that gives me a better air to fuel ratio. I got a local shop to re-do the exhaust with cat eliminator pipes, FlowMaster Super 40's, and a little bit bigger pipes.
Here is the inside. One of the cool things that the Vipers have is reverse seatbelts. But whatever you do, don't touch your leg to the side of the car when you get out. The exhaust runs right there under the doors, and after it's been running for a while that shit gets HOT!!! You can't really see in this picture, but it has Alpine component speakers and they sound awesome. in the back there is an Alpine Woofer and a Mobile Authority Amp.
There is the engine that will more than likely whip your ass. 450 HP and 490 ft lbs. torque stock. by now it's right around 570 HP and 575 ft lbs. of torque. I was thinking about wrapping the headers, but the hood louvers keep the engine bay pretty cool and as you can see, the intake is just a few inches away from the engine and it has a carbon fiber heat shield box so heat from the headers isn't really hurting anything or robbing any power. I recently got it bored out to the same displacement of the brand new Vipers and I got some custom forged pistons made for it, so that should add some more power. I also got a stock sized forged aluminum crank pulley custom made while they were at it anyways. I went with stock size so it doesn't take any of the power from my sound system.
Those rims can easily make you break the bank if anything happens to them. the guy that had it before me drifted it a few times and always did sickass burnouts, so when i got it, I had to replace the driver side back rim and both rear tires. Because those rims were only made for a few years of the Viper and also because they are 13" wide, that one rim was like $800 and the rear tires were $400 each!!!
