Sounds luuuurvely. 
With all this talk of tyre burning, no traction etc, what management are you using for it (ie one with launch control?), or would you fit an aftermarket on, or simply not bother.

Its just nice to see that you all like it.
One guy came up to us yesterday and said Is it going to be a cobra? when i said no its going to be a 7 he just looked at me and said shit!! lol
Aparently loads of people were in talking to the guys that own the kit car company on the back of seeing the viper which can only be good for everyone that owns a Luego.
Taking it on wednesday to be looked at for some more strength to be added and have a few bits im not happy with that need to be moved etc etc we have a bonnet now so we can lower the engine so it fits under the std body work its only about an inch out at the front and the back has to go down as the gearbox output is too high in relation to the diff input pedal box should arrive this week.
Most of the rest of it is out of our control as to time wise as its all depends on how long its going to take to get these things completed before full strip down but it will drive before we do strip it down.............................................. .........wonder if santa pod will let me run it there with no body work on it lol

Testing the future
Stavros i think you're right to be concerned. certainly the thing that is in there at the moment doesn't look like it will (will be ok to just run it up without load though)

The rad thats there at the moment was just to hold some water for the weekend totaly a temp soultion so it was poss to run the engine up under no load.
Std water system on a viper is only 15 liters so its not as much as i thought but were having a radiator built just for this, cooling is an issue in kit cars any way so were going to let a decent radiator company figure it out and there will be air vents in the side pannels to allow the heat out etc etc so it should be ok by the time its done.
