1. It's running 800 WHP on cast pistons according to the ad.
2. Front bumper looks trashed.
3. wing is definitely not my style.

I hope he decides to come back, cause he's a knowledgeable dude when it comes to all things Viper.

Anyway, regarding the one you're looking at...I'd be nervous purchasing a supercharged/bottle-fed car that was running the cast pistons. That for me would be the big show stopper unless I was committed to a piston swap. 800 WHP is alot of power.

pistons arent that big of a deal, if you crack one and put those in you can turn the boost up and run 9s.

"The lower part of front bumper will need a coat of paint, it has some road rash scuffs. I was quoted $375 for fresh paint on it. I was going to paint it but figured to leave it to the new owner so there was no question to why the bumper needed paint."

I agree with Bean. To much HP if it has cast pistons.
That wing is butt ugly as well.

Cast pistons would worry me, the scraped bumper is normal for a Viper bumper. I bet 95% of Viper bumpers need repainting on the bottom (the other 5% are garage queens and don't count ), and I for one like the wing. And yes, I liked it on Tony's car as well!

Looking at the pictures, it looks to me like that bumper may need to be replaced, not just repainted, but it's hard to tell.

I also like the H E N wing and that is a lot of car for only $54k. Until the motor blows, then that is a different story.

His feedback bothers me; he only sold one item and for that he received a negative. Be careful.

A little risky....on the front page it looks like a great car for the $$$. The Fascia is the smallest of concerns....even if you have to replace it...The most you are looking at from buying a nice used one and repainting is $1,500.00. Thats not the end of the world. However the Mechanical is the biggest concern. I would make sure the car is checked out by a Viper professional mechanic prior to purchasing. Good luck! I personally like that wing ONLY in conjunction with the matching Fascia....
