My thoughts exactly... As you say, a whole lot of love, time, money and effort has clearly gone into that, but I really don't understand why... Each to their own I guess. (Looks like a fair few original Viper parts are used too, at least the rear light settings anyway, can't decide about the headlights on that one... one of the previos ones I saw had what looked like MX5 headlights)

Well as long as you re happy with it smile

Thing is its not a viper, whats the engine 350 Chevy? If you love it and you don't ever plan to sell it then good luck to you. I don't think you would ever get back what it cost you to build it frown Whats the chassis, C4 corvette? It looks like a ford steering wheel?

Don't get me wrong, I used to have a Kit car, a Dax Tojeiro, Personally I preferred the interior of the Dax to the more original Hawk reps, Original Cobras were long gone and serious monies when I was looking around. I could not afford a Viper at the time so I went for the DAX but with a lightweight TVR Tuscan challenge series race engine and gearbox fitted in it! the 0 to 60 was UNDER 4secs!! And had over 400bhp woohoo I felt I was carrying on the Cobra race tradition of fitting a stonking engine in a light weight car.

I don't really understand the thought process of making something look like the RT/10 when it really isn't?
As others have said it looks well built but.......

Sorry getmecoat

OH GOD!!! Somehow, of all people, I think Carl would know the difference between a real one and a kit... I think a couple of people are not spotting a wind up when they see one...

Definitely like Cobra rep's especially when done right, and let's face it they look right... The Viper rep's don't even seem to have the same dimensions and just don' even look right to me... But if the owner enjoys it, good luck to him and his tangerine dream

Yep totally aggree, its nothing like a real RT/10 and should not be advertised as so. This is where people like Chrysler / Dodge should come down hard on this sort of thing. Its not doing us any favours at all rage
