Awesome bro!

<---mad jelly

Very nice Ryan! Damm that's sick!

:iagree:

I'll make sure to do a photoshoot soon...but for now, these will have to hold you over:p I can't stop smiling about this car. The only word I can use to describe it is RAW. It's hot, plasticy, it shakes, it rattles, no features...but it is FUN!!!:tup:

Lunch at Hooters with Tristan and Ryan

No joke, aside from the middle poster that I got when I visited the Connor Ave assmebly plant when I was 15, those posters are from book fairs when I was in elementary school! I put them up in my gargae back in December or January for motivation...

Our cruise to the beach...'02 996TT with the X50 package and straight pipes, '07 997TT with a TechArt body and numerous other mods, and mine :). I can finally "fit in" with my friends.

That is badass dude! Yeah, the Z had to go!

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention...pretty sure the Viper came with no cats. The exhaust smell is VERY strong. My eyes burn every time I drive the car, but it doesn't seem to bother my passengers. It sounds awesome though! Anddddd I may have already purchase a K&N intake for it last night and installed it this morning:rofl2:

damn man car looks good!!!! congrats

fuckin boss kid!

Looks sick, congrats again! Could use some racing stripes though :stirthepot:

Lol I have those viper posters

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you everyone! I appreciate everyone sticking with me after all I went through with the Z. I will definitely be staying on this forum :tiphat:

Nah...I like the no stripes on a black Viper. It's 1 of 233 black Viper Coupes (solid and striped combined) produced in 2006.

I agree. black lucks super clean stripeless.

Don't get me wrong, it looks pretty awesome as is. IMO the racing stripes are part of what make a Viper a Viper. I used to always get the Viper in all of the Gran Turismo games I used to play :icon17:

yo bro, you still need to hit me up!

niiice!

looking sexy bro! Glad your happy :)

Hot hot hot

So sorry if I missed it but did you get your z motor warrantied?

congrats man!

Viper = SO SIIIIIIIIICK!!!!!!!

*drops keys on fender immediately after picture taken*

:facepalm:

:) looks good ryan. i don't shoot black cars btw :stirthepot:

If you don't mind me asking, how old are you? I love your viper, man. I'm selling my Z to upgrade to a 2013 GT500 and buying a house at the age of 26.

If I make it up to ZDayz...I'm really trying!...we will have to do a shoot with 3 strobes this time ;)
Congrats, man! Good for you! I'm 26 as well. I've been in my townhome for 2 years now. I wish I would have waited a bit...prices now are even lower than before.

FYI I sold my Precision 6262 billet wheel and turbo blanket, stainless oil return line, Tial Q blow off valve, Tial MVR wastegate, and most of the piping for $1200. Worst ROI ever!!! Oh well, out of site out of mind. It's Viper modding time:happydance: With that said, this will probably be my last post in this thread...time to start a journal like everyone else:icon17:

A couple of pictures from our breakfast get together and cruise this morning. It's been 2 weeks and I still haven't taken pictures of the Viper. I'm slacking!

mucho sexy

impressed...

For what it's worth I like your z better :)

WOW Ryan, you haz rich friends.

Ryan, forgot to mention. Don't bring your dog to ZdayZ, we all now what will happen if you do.

Thanks, fellas:tup:



My Z was a project and it was completed and then ruined...

The Viper's project has just begun ;)

Work hard, play hard my friend! Aside from the blue ISF and the white 335i, everyone is 30 years old or younger.

It's great to meet new car friends...but it's even greater to become best friends with some of them. I saw the black 997TT driving around when I just put my IForged wheels on my Z...brief chat at a light. Then I saw them cruising around a few weeks later and was just in awe of the looks and sounds of that car. Then we met at a meet a few weels later and have been very close friends ever since.
They are both riding shotgun with me on the way to ZDayz.

That black 997 is rediculous. But I'll take the Gtr :)

Sick car dude I'm sure it's a blast ESP since its been a dream car of yours.

:iagree: I often get crap from people twice my age for the nice "things" I have at my age (29, I turn 30 next year :shakes head:). Keep it up man, hard work is the key :tup:

I'm in love with the Porsche...full techart kit, intercoolers, intake, boost valves, tuned, straight pipes.. it's pretty much perfect! He just took the turbos out a few days ago to upgrade the compressor wheels :driving:

Here's probably my favorite picture I've taken

Appreciate it! It's nice to look in my garage and remind myself how hard work pays off. I've been getting "grief" since I bought my G35 coupe when I was 19. I work hard for the things that I want...and I want nice cars:yum: It doesn't help that I still have a baby face and have a hard time growing facial hair :bowrofl:

that is a great pic man! :tup: such a sexy car

That 997 is hot dam perfect.

Nooooo, I read this whole thing and never found the cause of the ticking in the end, did I miss something?

No, you didn't. I just had so many headaches after doing the single turbo build that I dumped the car and got into Vipers...I'm on my 4th Viper since the 370Z now. If I could do it all over again, I would have been patient and purchased a Boosted Performance kit and not been a guinea pig. I still check out classifieds for 370Zs every once in awhile, as I wouldn't mind having another singlet turbo 370Z.

Damn that looks sinister, great choice.
