Maybe he just has nothing new to report? Money, kids, work, could be any number of things. Interested to see where this goes, too.

Any updates on this build??

This was a project that me and my brother was working on. We had it running for a day but blew out the rings during engine break in. Car was far from finished. A few weeks later my brother passed away (last year), I then lost all my connections in the Viper community. So after my brother was gone I just didnt want to continue on without him. I stripped the motor down selling every piece including the car as a roller. Also needed the cash so I could move to North Dakota for a new job.. I just kinda freaked out and wanted to get it all gone. It was too painful of a reminder. Really wish I had kept the car atleast. Kick myself everyday for getting rid of the car.

Anyways. It was cool, a fun build. Honestly for the price it cost to build a Viper V10 Gen 1,2,3 or Gen 4. its not really worth it unless your looking for 1000hp or more. A LS motor woulda been same power for half the money. Just not as cool as a Viper V10.. It would be sweet to build another one.. I would Rather go with the 5.0 Coyote though.

Now I have moved back to Houston. Just picked up a White 94 GT. Going back 5.0 with it. Nothing crazy, just 400+hp daily driver. LOL... Build thread coming soon. Will be a tribute to My brother, his fave color combo was black and red. Luckily the 94 I got has the black and red interior. So it will work with the paint scheme.
