The lip or the Viper?

Edit: I thought you meant for your existing Honda track car.

BTW what is up with the hardtop Viper? I thought they only had a roadster. Looks really good, though.

That's the prototype GTSR that they had around the autoshow circuit around 2 years ago. Follow the link below for some photo's I took of it:

I never have been a fan of big displcement push rod powered cars, but the C5 Vette and the Viper are both stellar machines. It is too bad there hasn't been any1 running a Viper in WC GT since Bobby Archer left in 99 (or what it 00?).

LoL I should have worded it I want this "AS" my track car.

Honda track cars aren't my thing unless they are the 80cc shifter kind.

vipers are nice but don't really think there good for track ... i've seen them in the le mans and man does the C5 and S7 smoke that thing like nothing... there good for 1/4 probably... imagine on the auto-x course busting dohnuts on every turn with street tires ... if i had money for a viper i'd get a ZO6 or a M3... now those 2 are great track cars... just my 2 cents

Well I guess your memory doesnt go back too far. Back when Chrysler supported the Oreca team they dominated the GTS like the other cars were tricycles.

When DCX stopped giving money to Oreca, they stopped giving money to anyone running a Viper. What you saw at the ALMS races was essentially a 4 year old car running against new race cars. Hard to keep up, especially when Saleen "bends" the rules and comes out with a tube frame racecar.

In rally cars they use it as a vent for the driver/co-driver because they keep the windows up during stages.

nissan is supposedly releasing a race ready version of the new Z that weighs 2400 lbs with 450hp to run at le mans, alms, etc. they are also going to be selling it for $75k.

there was a picture/blurb of it in either c&d or r&t, but i can't find it online.

Yeah, did you hear how hot it would get in the GTS Vipers and the Corvette's? They were saying some of them were 140+ degrees. Can you say dehydration. I can not imagine trying to run an enduro race in something that hot. Where the floor pan is melting your shoes. They had several drivers collapse of heat exhaustion after their stints in the cars.
