Not had the chance before to photograph side-by-side our Project-X Mamba with a OE SRT-10, so for those that like Vipers...spot the differences wink









Parking on the trailer as the Copperhead is in the garage!

Well worthy of a watch is this computer generated vid of our car, I love what Superaking85 has done, how the hell he did it I dont know, I only use computers for tuning and email!

Ha ha, there's me looking for subtle differences like a vent hole or something, then scroll down and see the bonnet off and it's totally different! Looks awesome Nad - any details?

Like the video - looks like he's just skinned the Viper in the game with your graphics, looks great though.

Happ New Year to you - hope we get to see you in 2012? Maybe at the 10th Anniversary of Luton Lunch?

They look good together Nad...... But Project X would look awesome with an ACR splitter and canards ;o) ......
Not seen the copper viper for a while now ......

Video looks like the game Forza Motorsport 4 on the Xbox 360; you can make your own liveries and customise a car as you like, it's a proper automotive playground - great if you like games & cars!

I'm well impressed with the games skinning graphics, looks very realistic, and the way the car behaves. Maybe I should take more interest in these games, could be quite cost effective for drifting!

The Gen3 ACR originally started out to be a vert, but then it got switched for production with the Coupes. I updated the Comp Coupe to the 2005 body spec, Colin did a fantastic job of making moulds / panels for me to make it affordable, and from working on other CC's had a bunch of parts spare that needed a home. So it was decided to make the Mamba a bit more exciting with Comp Coupe parts, it was a lot of fabrication though!

Got the canards. I ran an early Comp Coupe splitter, but on track with out running a rear wing at about >130 mph it made the rear too squirrely, so I took it off. Was going to scallop the middle part out and try it again sometime, but the car's nicely balanced as it is. Running a lower ride height, a splitter grounds on the road, even the CC rear diffuser blades ground just going up the slope of my driveway!

Will try and get to more events, but its a balance of racing activities and work.

Looking Good, and sounds great, I love it! smokin
Supraking, that's fab to have both MambaX and the Comp Coupe on track together, I'm well pleased to see what you've created there, it is very good. Thank you. You've really studied the cars, and made very skilled skins.
I will have to take you out for a spin someday in Fan6s, you can see if driving style is spot on then too, and make some skid marks... hehe
