Working on the pics I shot at the Mopar Nationals last month, and I
thought some might find this car interesting. It's a 1998 Viper. The
front suspension, steering gear and chassis are basically stock, but
the rear of the body has been "tubbed" to allow for large tires, and
the rear end has been replaced with a magnesium carrier and solid
spool. A roll cage ties the rear suspension mounts to the engine
subframe. The engine is the 98 Viper original with stock crank, rods
and pistons. Non-stock pieces include two huge intercooled
turbochargers, highly modified fuel injection, and long duration,
high
lift camshafts. I saw it run the quarter mile in 7.8 seconds at 187
mph -- on pump gas. Oh, and the guy drives it on the street now and
then. Fun stuff.

Nice shot. Looks like a fun car.
I always appreciated vipers, but didn't really like them until one
passed me at full song between turns 6 & 7 at Sears Point. There's
just something about 8 liters of V-10 WFO that could be branded
priapism in a can.
