Sir Hiss is a V8 powered viper. Was the fastest until all the mega horsepower twin turbos appeared.

I agree they sound like crap, but have you ever heard a turbo viper? OMG sounds beautiful.

Inside the car, they don't sound that bad. If money was nothing, then yeah, I'd take two.

Does anyone else wish that Dodge would start the Factroy Viper Race program back up so the C6R and GTS-R could go toe to toe. Chevy never really got on board and the only real toe to toe battle was the year that they finished 1-2 overall @ the Rolex 24. Yeah, they had some heated battles that year, but, what would the rivalry be like now, if it were to happen?

Definately a bad *** car. If I had the money, I don't think I'd go that route though.

The front fascia doesn't sit well with me either. I'd rather see the stock front fascia on there, but I assume that wasn't possible and the front fascia is more function than form. Could be wrong though, John could just have bad taste.

Actually, with that kind of kickout, you'd get more front end downforce, minimize undercar airflow (and drag), and probably better cooling for the ICs, Rad, and breaks.

I just hate the sound of those things though.

Damn looks good. I saw it a while ago though in some other article I think. Although since no one has said it, other than the 160k LPE for sale, why not buy a C6 Z06 and throw 150k into it.
