Default It's here....

Well after a week of waiting, a 300 mile drive and one renegade semi truck tire that tried to remove the front bumper for us. Our 02 Supercharged C4S is here. It's late, I'm tired and it's dark out but here are two teaser pics. A proper photoshoot will take place this weekend after I fix the damage done by the stupid truck tire.

Two cars, each fulfilling a certain need of their owner. So different, yet so simular.

I'd be very interested in hearing your likes and dislikes of each when you become very familiar with the P-car. enjoy

Great colors. I'm a firm believer in lighter colors helping keep track of what the car is up to at night flinging it.

I've had two truck tires blow apart in front of me during the last few years. Makes me wonder if the snipers are playing games sometimes. All you can do is hope you just did a good scan around you and know where you can dodge to and not have an accident or hit the pieces flying off the rim. Just like flying a plane, instrument scan then surrounds constantly. Anything else is sub standard performance

Great car. I'm sure you are happy to find the beauty. One of the microfiber towels sold is a bright yellow simular to your colors.

The Viper is kind of raw and unrefined and the power is immediate and at times uncontrollable. But it's such a fun car and it is definitely a head turner.

Haha, yeah we have four other cars for when it's grocery time. But I have grabbed groceries in the Viper a couple times. Feels so wrong to put milk and eggs in the trunk of that thing

The Viper is built and tuned by Doug Levin Motorsports out of Ft. Lauderdale Florida. It has a Novi 2000 Supercharger and CCW 505A Wheels on it. It puts down around 750 RWHP.

Funny you mention flying a plane... I'm working on my PPL right now and my instructor is always drilling me on watching my surroundings. But sometimes it just happens so fast you can only dodge it the best you can and hope for the best. It cracked the front bumper in a few places and broke a carbon fiber piece on the driver side. Nothing too serious but we will get it fixed soon.

Congrats. They look very happy together in their SY garb. Anxious to hear how you like your Porsche after putting on a few miles.

PSS9 refers to an aftermarket suspension built by Bilstein.

BTW, a great combo you have there!
