Great write-up. Congrats on your Viper! It was definitely meant to be, and glad that it finally happened for you.

great story. I like the look of polished/silver wheels on dark cars. The contrast really gives it a nice touch.

Just a quick update... I procrastinated on buying KWs since I found out I had 3 blown shocks. I was lucky enough to find a great deal on some lightly used OEM shocks last week, but had 2nd thoughts after remember I went through 3 sets of front shocks on my Z. They arrived on Friday
My KW V2s shipped today ![]() The Viper had its first 3 seater commute this weekend. I also teetered on a speed bump. I put 150 miles on it this weekend and it saw it's highest speed I've taken it so far. It was a GREAT weekend ![]()

That's what I was originally on the hunt for. There's a '96 with just a tick over 5k miles on it...they were asking $55k. Last I saw, they were down to $49k. The SRT-10s are a much better car though overall. Just can't beat the looks of a Gen 2 though.

KWs arrived on Wednesday!
![]() This was Saturday after we took a cruise down to the new Hooters on Clearwater Beach...stopped by a friend's parent's house. Ride height before KWs. Including the minivan, that's a 3000bhp driveway! ![]() A friend and I swapped out my Vipair kit for my KW V2s on Sunday ![]() ![]() Sooo pretty. This color is my inspiration to do my calipers, center console, and emblems. ![]() A horrible picture, but I brightened it up so you can see the ride height now. I want to lower the rear 1/4" and the front by 1". I have to have it all perfect for Saturday...Cars & Coffee and Gold Rush ![]() Meetup at night for some dinner on the beach ![]() Excuse the horrible instagram pictures... I didn't take them ![]()

Yeah, it's great to have such good friends that share the same passion I do.
Cars & Coffee yesterday. I didn't touch the rear, but lowered the front 1.5". All 4 corners tuck now ![]() ![]()
