I'll try to make a good build thread when the turbos go on, should be fun! The Viper drives a lot different than the TA, but it's an unfair comparison. The TA was built to go straight where is car is pretty unmodified suspension wise. The car handles a lot better but it also feels more purpose built where the TA had some 'luxiries', they are completely different animals. Although, the shifter and driver feel of the Viper make you seem very connected, it's kinda odd, but cool.

Thanks again for the comments guys, makes me feel like it was a good decision!

Car looks sick btw Carlos.

No traction control, no ABS, no power mirrors, no power seats, no cruise control etc.

The car basically has leather (seats are 10x better thought), power windows and power steering.

Looks good Trust! I was wanting to buy those wheels for my Camaro & paint them black but the price is a little out of my range right now....

Great choice on wheels. I totally agree with you on the quality of fikse wheels. Even with my high expectations, my FM/10's amazed me. Is it the angle of the shot or do the front wheels sit back in the fender quite a bit?

It was there for the nitrous, I was admiring the kit and the mounting board Bret was making for it.

I'm ready to get my car back to him to finish tuning...driveline snapped at 6300rpm and took out the brand new tranny haha

They don't sit in any more than factory, but they are tucked a bit yea.

What you can't answer my e-mails now man? JK, looks GREAT Reza!

I think I deserve some credit for notifying you that I had the wheels for sale before I let anyone else know.

Kidding man, glad you're happy with them! You enjoy my packaging job? Looked like hell but hopefully they got to you safely.

How do those hard *** PS hook? Not at all? Good!

Haha I'm pretty bad at getting back on emails, sorry man! I read it on my phone and meant to write back later and forgot.

Packing worked, no issues . Tires don't have a prayer, lol.

I like them a lot better also. I would have liked to see a little more aggressive offset pushing the wheels out a bit. Otherwise it would be perfect .

I've like DPE wheels a lot on Vipers too.
