apparently a lot were impressed by my viper powered 7 replica with a 2004 viper v10 engine, but alas the engine is now in a sierra cosworth 3dr, but
all is not lost, the plan is to fit a much more powerful engine over the next couple of years and make it 4x4
as it was with viper engine

Depends on your definition of 'impressive' but Mr Hicost takes quite a lot of beating in terms of car/history/what he's done with it
- Mr Ison and the Isonblade is another contender......... if you want 'because you can' impressive there's the bloke with the Viper
engine but that's not impressive imho he just managed to make it fit in the car.....
Edited to say: yeah Viper man beat me to it.....That big an engine needs a bigger car but whatever

i agree, it was just a case of making it fit, so now i'm pushing the limits, 4wd v8 with a genuine 1000hp+, having to go v8 to give me room for
the front diff and shafts, got it all planned, just need to put it into practice. the engine and hp is the easy bit, getting the running gear to take
the power and work is the iffy bit, but i think it will be ok

TrevD? awesome looking car  Fozzies car is awesome too........Hicost with his Cosworh turbo engine still does it for me tho simply because of
what he's done and where he's been with it........

Madteg's is quite impressive, for the Stainless steel chassis AND the the bonkers power from a Zetec.
Then of course there's Snuggs' Viento for the prep work he's done with the injection on it AND those exhaust's.

Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

Well being perfectly open and honest my car is the best car i have driven.
i have not driven any others though. 
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!
Please read my ring story:

Hicost's car has probably cost the most ! but it is a very quick car, and incredibly smooth,
Thankfully he didnt use the nitrous when i went in it,
Fozzies car is real nice, and the old Ison blade was bonkers

I don't think the guy who bought my car is a member on here
The guy from somewhere in europe who's got a nice ally body on his car would be my choice ATM.

Hicost possibly makes me green the most. Keep them coming. Be interesting to see the Viper project in V8 guise when its done...

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
