    This 2001 Sapphire Blue Viper GTS belongs to a very good client and is one of only 86 produced in this color.

    Previously this car was supercharged but this left no room to grow HP wise so he opted for a twin turbo set up.

    This car has spent more than three years in the shop since my client was pre-occupied with acquiring more cars and modding them as well making this car a low priority to complete,

    My client has put more 1/4 mile and road course miles on this car than actual street miles.

    Well here's what I had to contend with.

    Upon arrival.

    Wheels were a mess.

    Great job Richie! That's a beast of a car to begin with, I can't imagine what a TT setup feels like in it.

    Looks great!

    Is that a Viper truck in the background of the last pic?
