I'm just surprised the thread's title isn't LMR 1600hp twin turbo viper.

LMR builds some nice cars and have a pretty good reputation for the most part. And then they bust out some **** likes this.

Bad *** lmr tuned tt viper. I'm personally building my truck but lmr will do the tuning for sure. They make it make the power they can claim it all they want. If RSI had done it right the thread would be titled different I think

Geebus people!!! The car makes killer power, even if LMR just fixed things and the tune; it sure did help needless to say... That gives them some right to put their name on it... That car has to be a beast to drive!!! Damn I really should have gotten the Viper instead of the Porsche (Chris... Don't even say or call with what I think you are going to say... "Shoulda bought a Viper..." )

Get the customer to bring it to lunch or bring something with big HP to lunch this week. I haven't driven or ridden in anything fast in a few months... I am having withdraws... **** riding my Quad on the trails behind the neighborhood today seemed like a rush! LOL!!!!

LOL! Yeah it's one of those moments you are like well **** this sucks... I lost a charge pipe on my Cobra racing Tony's (Nineball) old 434ci Formula. Went into 4th and BOOM and car died... None of us had tools and it was like 2am so I couldn't call my brother (he couldn't drive yet) or parents to bring me tools although we were at Baybrook Mall 5-10min away from the house... Put that **** back on with a Quarter someone had in their pockets. Mcguiver style LOL!

Default Correction to Post - TT Viper

Okay Gents - Here's the story - Im the owner of this viper and is built by RSI - TT w/built motor etc. I sent my viper to RSI for some tuning and s/minor upgrades a couple weeks back. When I got the car back it have some small issues and I called Will @ RSI and he informed me that I can take it to LMR to get the car fix for that small issue. I didnt want to sent it back to RSI for this small fix. No need. RSI has a great relationship with LMR and thats the reason my viper was present @ LMR. Steve is a great guy and I like his work and his team. RSI is going to complete the tuning on my viper soon @ LMR and you will again see my viper being on the dyno @ LMR. Will is going to send a tech out to LMR to complete the tune job.

Thank you for your time.

Just to drop a line in here.

We received the car, did a complete inspection even removing the oil pan, changed all the fluids and remade the charge pipes, installed our RSI Billet Carbon Triple Disk Dodge Viper clutch, RSI Stage 3 Viper fuel system, installed a Greddy Boost Controller, and lowered the car. This car has a Split Second piggyback and required a complete retune. Oh... Did I mention that we only had the car for 5 business days.

After the customer received the car and put a 1000 miles on it. It started having and issue with an OEM O2 sensor. Rather than sending the car to Dallas for a small job we steer guys to LMR in the Houston area. Steve is a great guy and LMR does great work. We will have our tuner in Houston soon and will try to post another video then.

Thanks!

Will

Exactly the point...give credit where credit is due.

I'm sure everyone here appreciates the weekly dyno vids of different "LMR" cars, but it's just a bit deceiving to put your shop's name on a car like this when you've only performed a "small job" on it (as Will put it) and completely omit the people who realy put the work in to make it what it is.

How is it deceiving if LMR did work on the car, which makes them part of this project? LMR produced the video for us, why should they feel obligated to list out every single company involved, it is their video.

Some of you guys get too hung up on the details, which is a direct result of just being a hater. Instead of clinging onto stupid details about titles of threads, just come out and admit you are a hater and move on. Simple.
