The Viper people are more race oriented, and it really is one hell of a race car. Interesting you chose a Honda, as if/when I step out of the Viper into the Corvette I feel like I just stepped into a Honda Accord!
The Viper rides like a real race car and it takes some getting used to, but the power is sick. The motor runs circles around the LS2. The LS7 is a different story, but it's still in the same Corvette chassis, and when you're in the Viper you feel like you're in a real damn race car, whereas is in the Corvette, even with a 1000HP, it still feels like, well, a Corvette.
Would be interested to see what kind of 1/4 mi time the Civette gets, and man your new project with the Twin Turbos sounds insane, that thing will be sick!

,so go waste your money on something that is slower and cost more. See for yourself. The only field the viper outdid the corvette was the handling and the 20 grand difference leave you with plenty of money to upgrade the suspension. http://www.caranddriver.com/comparis...per-srt10.html

Just like MonkeyPuzzle, I'm signing up here because a Honda-Tech mod decided to compensate for his lack of **** by playing God-mod and wiping out Civette's entire thread. Nice that the mods can't be any more grown-up than the posters they were trying to beat down.
At any rate, I can't wait to see this thing run. I thought a V8 in an RX-7 was nifty, but this project takes it up a couple notches.

the car is cool and everything, but i cant get over "Z284eternity". he dont even know how to quote (post 160). he has to be the gayest sounding person on ls1tech, i bet he's even more gay in person. i bet there are plenty of ricers out there that would walk all over that ******!
one more thing.....he only has 11 post and he comes in here thinking he is God or something?
get the dick out of your *** and get a girlfriend. sounds like you should be driving a stock honda.

No this needs to go to Sport Compact Car's Ultimate Street Challenge.
They've had a couple of LS swapped rx-7's compete, I think this would make for a good competitor.

Still though I'm sure there is more to the story as the mods over on H-T have now locked the original thread and an additional thread, and the H-T mods have in the past been very reasonable, so I am assuming I don't know the whole story.
I say we leave it in the past and let this be the last bit of off-topic discussion in this thread.
Love the work civette, one of the guys at the office here drives a CTS-V and thinks your use of the emblem is sac religious, its awesome!
