Probably 70+ thousand dollars. Might even touch the 6 figure range.

Sick car.

I would say he has over 100k installed. Viper parts alone are outrageous can't imagine getting into this part of the ballpark.

Nicely done. ART builds some very STOUT cars. Prime example.

If you have to ask, you can't afford it!!!

I know how badass it would be to have 1000+rwhp in a street car, but what's the point when you are on drag slicks and the first three gears on the car are completely useless at WOT . . . .

Anyways, I'm just saying that unless its a dedicated built 1/4 mile car, I think its just too much power. It would be nice to have something that hooks below 100mph. 500-600whp will scare you shitless and you might have a chance of hooking on the street. In a light car like that viper, that should easily net you a low 10 second et with the proper tire/suspension setup.

we too k it to cars and coffee in houston last week
on the way home ran in to some other cars and ran them just for fun (it wasnt pretty)

we were running MT 345 drag radials on the stock 18" rims
from about 70mph on low boost in 3rd it hooks decent (assuming the tires are warmed up)

so addressing the issue of hooking up with more than 1000rwhp, with the car on the MT's as long as you modulate the throttle and only floor in it the end of 4th its doable

and with it on full tilt it will run 8sec 1/4 miles no prob

There are plenty of times in Houston when 1000HP just isn't enough on a highway run. And that's why I love TX.
