Wow we had about 15 mustangs it seems in the chicago show. No nsx though

How does the viper look in person?

PS. Good morning everyone hope all of your Mondays are easy!

Viper looks pretty cool. The Design looks pretty much the same as the old one with new headlights and rear lights. IMO they should have made the front lights bigger.

I think that's a good thing when they keep the design similar (viper, vette, 240z Z vs. 370z) It builds heritage.

radical design changes often ruin a brand/model.

Edit: it also makes the brand/model very easy to identify regardless of the year like a porsche 911.

I'd love to see a twin supercharged Viper to compete with the ZR1 Vette. Their competition in the early years of the Viper where awesome.

That would be crazy. Viper already has 640 hp and is light. if they twin supercharge it we're looking at potentially 900 hp.

Kia had their new "track" Soul LOL

That is an oxymoron like the Smart Car. I wouldn't be caught dead in one, which is what would happen if you wrecked one.

Exactly what I was thinking

One of the stock bolts it took me a few hours with a drill to get out. Not a demon bolt, but after it got stripped there was nothing else to do but "drill baby drill"

Everything else was perfect. It was getting dark yesterday so tonight I will tigthen everything and make sure it sits straight and fire it up

and for anybody wondering, I did this by myself, on my back, using a pair of jackstands and regular tools (no power/air tools exept the drill for that bolt). So it can be done
