Yeah sounds interesting. Hopefully its got a proper SCT or similar retune on it.
Id also want more than a 7 day warranty with that much bespoke mods. Could be mega expensive if it developed an illness..

Some pics here. Red interior http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2010...
Looks nice, good value with the mods. Im guessing its 600rwhp, which would make sense.
Tempting, though I think Id prefer a Gen4 now. Also coupe.
I bet it sells pretty quick though. It seems good value.

Well that's 4 Dax tojeiro owners I know of now who have moved on to Vipers smile I loved my Dax but got fed up with the weather. I don't have to drive with bin liners on my legs now and carry a sponge to wipe the rain water off the inside of the windscreen, my Viper has a proper roof biggrin

that is the exact reason why i sold my one.
my car was registered as an AC and i wish i had kept it after taking so long to build it.
after only 2000 miles of ownership and in mint condition i ended up selling it to a trader in London for just over 9k .
now with the internet i could have advertised it nationwide and got proper money.

Very nice mate, when the price dropped I was ultra tempted myself.
Though I really want a coupe.

How does it drive? Looks pretty mental! Whats the workmanship like in regards to the mods, driveability with the cam etc?

Jesus...I took it out today, poodling along, pulled away from traffic lights on a deserted road, i was doing 40 in second and decided to floor it to see how it accelerates, i had the biggest burn out ive ever seen, the rear wheels just span like crazy, must have some crazy torque

just found the Dyno chart, 605.7 and 593.7
