Default 2.7 RS spec 73 E...

After 6 months of being dead... The Viper Green E is up and running.

Just completed a 30 Min. speed run...What a blast. Short gears, very hot 2.7. Rothsport suspension set up...I can't believe it took me 6 months to get her back on the road...

Early guy's you, know what I mean.....

Here is a few shots... Get out and drive.

That's a beauty! Did you do a complete rebuild?

Joe,
Beautiful car, nothing like a ton of HP in an early light body.

How about some gratuitous shots of her "hot" 2.7?

Thanks for the comments guys.. I have not spent much time in the early cars this year... I just fininshed a nice run in the 71E... A little soft and slow, takes me back in time when I drive it.

The green car was totally rebuilt by Jeff Gamroth...New 2.7 RS MFI Engine, short gears, suspension, brakes. A ton of fun.

Just left Jeff Gamroths shop.. He is putting the finishing touches on my 74 3.0 RS clone.... I will post some pictures in a couple of weeks... I really miss 2100 LBS, short gears and 3.8 RS Varioram
power...Third times a charm...

I feel like a Kid again....

Those guys do great work.
The real deal for 911 performance.

Very Classy. I like those seats - are they the original style for that year?
