Default 1998 Supercharged Viper GTS on HREs

1998 Viper GTS red/w silver stripes. 26K miles. 100% perfect above ankle high. Not a single dent, scratch, or rock chip on the car. ROE Supercharger w/VEC-2 Computer, and methanol injection - 547 rwhp 583rwtq. 18" HRE wheels with Toyo R888 rears and Pilot Sport fronts - will dead hook 1st gear. Custom Viper logo centercaps on the HREs. Wilwood brakes - 6 piston up front and 4 in the rear, MUCH better than the factory brakes. 6-speed, a/c, power windows, Factory forged motor. Clear title in hand. Never damaged. AutoXed one time, never drag raced, and as far as I know, never even seen a burnout. 8 pounds of boost. K&N intake, Boost gauge, short shifter, Magnaflow exhaust, no cats. Factory Alpine CD stereo. I have all records including the Window Sticker. Excellent condition and always pampered. Washed after every use. Always garaged and covered with factory Viper car cover when not driven. Never has seen rain. 90% freeway miles. All work work and maintenance done by by Viper specialist (Valaya Racing) in San Jose, Ca. According to Ted, owner of Valaya, this is the best ROE car he's ever worked on.

I am the 3rd owner of the car, bought in mid 2008 with 25.5K miles on it, now has 26.8K miles, hence me selling the car - less than 100 miles a month on average. I travel 85% of the time, and just don't have time to enjoy the car. Previous owner put the supercharger on with about ~18K I believe. Previous owner was a police officer, and only used the car for cruising freeways and car shows. I took the car out for one afternoon of autoXing to get a feel for her, but that is the only time the car has ever seen anything of a track.

Car did 524/552 without the methanol and 547/583 with the meth injection (dyno craph below). The car runs extremely safe/rich both without and with the meth, running below 10:1 on the meth. The car will pick up at least 50rwhp with a tune tailored for the meth (it's tuned to be 11:1 w/o meth to be super safe), and well over 100rwhp with headers and a tune. Will also be able to pick up more if you can run 93 octane, vs the California 91. You can work with ROE to get new tuning cards, or I can arrange for the car to be dyno tuned locally.

This car is 100% perfect above ankle high. Not a single dent, scratch, or rock chip on the car. Very regularly waxed with high quality detailing products. Car lives in a garage under a cover it's entire life. It's so clean the fuel door is completely clean, with no corrosion, swirls, etc that you see on a lot of Vipers. The passenger side HREs do have minor curb rash. If purchased before 20 December, will get the wheels repaired at my expense.

I'm looking for $45k for the car. Subtract $5k if you dont want the supercharger, $1500 for stock brakes instead of the Wilwoods, and $3000 for stock wheels rather than the HREs. IE $35.5K for the car with stock motor, brakes, and wheels. If I get my asking price, I can throw in a set of spare 335/30/18 Pilot Sports (if you want to drive in the rain) and extra 335/30/18 R888s. I can also cover airfare for you to come out to pick the car up, or arrange pick up with any transport company. You will not be disappointed by this car.
