I bought a Viper from Joe Martinez back in October... I should say I pretty much stole it because after shipping and adding a MAXCARE Dodge warranty I was only out $55k. It's a 97 GTS with motorwork (all done by Macedo in FL) and a Roe Supercharger w/ 10lb pulley. It dyno'd over 700 rwhp. Tons of upgrades, both performance as well as "poser"
* 700+ rwhp (93 octane gas)
* Roe charger with 10lb pulley
* M2 heads and cam package
* M2 ported blower intake
* VEC2
* Belanger headers
* Complete Corsa exhaust
* Carbon fiber intake
* T and D roller rockers
* 70mm throttle bodies
* Slotted brake rotors,steel lines,and upgraded pads
* Fluidyne radiator
* Roe cooling kit
* Upgraded fan kit
* Roe T-stat.It rolls
* 19 inch Forgeline VR1's
* Sparco Torinos Racing Seats (original factory seats included)
* Carbon fiber hood cowl
* Custom trunk cover
* Custom hood pad
Anyhow, I sold the car a few months ago, and the new owner added a $2k stereo, two toned gauges, and fixed up a few minor chips. All in, he was into the car for over $60k including shipping (I sold it to him for what I had into it). Well, he just called me and told me he is getting a Lambo and wants to dump the Viper. He is asking $59k, but I know he is willing to take low $50s for the car (don't tell him I told you that). If you are interested, send me a PM and I'll put you in touch. Here are some pics I had of the car before the new owner did anything to it:

I can't believe the new owner is willing to take a $10k hit in literally no time at all, but heh... who am I to judge?
