I have longtubes on the way, and the exhaust is getting changed today. I may keep the factory rear muffler, but it is getting rid of the cats and the side mufflers. If I don't like it, I'm swapping the rear muffler out with a magnaflow.

Well now the T/A is gone I wanted to find a suitible replacement. I've been trying to think for a long time what a great base would be for a good all around street car. Had to be lighter than the T/A, decent cubes (IMO), 6 speed, 2 door. I was stuck between a C6 and a GTS Viper. The C6 was great all around except for 2 things, they are extremely common, and unlike the GTS they are not forged motors, which is huge since I want to make 650-700RWHP. After weighing it all out the GTS was my best option. Here is a pic of the one I just picked up. Flew out to Florida Friday, stayed the night, and drove 20 hours back to Oklahoma Sat. morning, I just got home.
I have some 17" CCW Classics coming in for it for now until I can get some bigger wheels, I got them for a steal though.
Very general info:
1997 GTS Viper
Stock except for a short shifter
27k (big plus for me)
Here it is the first time I put gas in it before I headed back from FL, I'll get more pics up today after I nap and clean it, I haven't slept in 24 hours.
DISCLAIMER: I'm not saying this is the best all around base period, just what was within my budget. I think the ideal start off base would be a Gallardo or a Murcielago.
So, the new project begins!
