I have teamed up with Autoform to create a limited build car to commerate the GT2 Championship Edition. Autoform and BJ Motors are building 10 limited edition 1998 GT2 Commerative Championship Edition Vipers. I have enclosed a few pictures of the build in progress.
This is in the infantry stages and feedback would be appreciated. This car can have this same look of photo below if desired, or can be refined. I am submitting to the minds in the know on this forum. Practical, Radical, Consensus. UTOH

The first car was one I had here with 13K miles. This has been in the back of my mind for awhile since the GT2 is such an awesome car I had a few customers ask me about building one. The cars are being built with performance mods based on each individual, the appearance package will be the same for the 10 but can change with requests for example:
Suspension
Exhaust
Hoods
Roll Bars
Simms it is just something I have wanted to do, it was like the 91 Daytona the 1st prototype was my car and then I influenced the build on the Black Street Coupe Manny bought from me. This car should be hot as I like the white and blue combo. Will see how it turns out when completed, fit and finish looks great so far.
Wow, that looks great! IMO, the biggest stand out feature between the GTS and the GTS-R aside from the obvious bodywork is the stance of the car. Unfortunately the replicas won't ever be able to achieve the same form, as the GTS-R's were over 4 inches wider than their streetable counterparts and were lower than practicality will allow for street use.....
However, the best replicas I have seen are amazingly close due to front cannards, side splitters, diffusers and a quality decal job. Side pipes look / sound amazing and would be a nice addition (also allowing for a full rear diffuser) but again, it all comes down to streetable practicality. The Autoform parts can pull off a really close replica and I really look forward to progress on this project. Looks great so far and Good luck!

Autoform Replicas....
Only some of the GTSR's are/were widebody. None in the photos are. Anyone got pics?
^ I'm 99% sure that all of the GTS-R's are wider than the stock GTS' There were however different 'wide bodies' throughout the evolution of the car. The late year models were fitted this body that had flared arches and this giant rear wing which is much wider than the GTS......

The individual racing series will dictate the overall dimensions of the aero packages so you will see a wide range of splitter and wing designs.
Progress of the New Project GTSR Commemorative Car
Yes this car is gettin suspension, heads, cam, headers, high flows, corsa, and the information below is for the build with no engine mods. I have had several e-mails and to do this intense of a job we estimate the cost as follows:
These are preliminary numbers. I have broken it down so you can see what each part costs.
Lemans Competition Fascia & Splitter - $2395.00
Leman Wing - $1800
Rear Diffuser - $895
Tow Hook (Front) - $295
Center Louver in Hood GTSR Style- $495
GTSR Style Roof Scoop - $295
Interior Two Tone (Blue Black) - $1200
Canards - $125
Side Splitters - $600.00
Sticker Package - $1200
Total Parts - $10,000.00
Labor - $ 15,000.00
Labor - This package includes pulling all the body panels and painting them individual panels as you see in the pictures I have on the net. We believe the package is going to have a total cost of $25,000.00, but will not know until we have all of the labor hours completed and all of the parts on the car. Should be soon. I have tried to break it down so you have a decent idea of what each part costs.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Damn't Dodge! you assholes. Make a widebody turbo viper to end all competition!!!!!
Getting Close!!!! The car will be lowered and some mods, heads, cam, headers, exhaust and the decal package. The car looks freaking great.......... Hope to have it back here January to begin engine mods if it's not sold and then begin working on # 2. I will post final photos when it is back here in Va.

Looks great to me! However, most here will tell you the car is retarded with an ironing board wing, canards and splitters and only little 18" wheels. Did you actually think that the GTS had a stellar racing career unlike the SRTs that warrants a GTS looking like the race car? What were you thinking?...LOL! BTW, don't forget the Autoform roll bar and racing belts for the road course runs. Still can't believe you invested the money in this versus an SRT with 20" blings and it's renowned drifting history.
MY GTSR: (may add white stripes)

I am doing some calculations on the percentage of Devildouche posts that contain the same pictures of that red turd in them. I am guessing it is in the 80's or so. I can't think of any other person on any other forum that feels obligated to show the same fucking pictures over and over. Cracks me up really.
