Hey everyone,

I like to introduce myself. I'm Jeff and after trolling through the forum and notice some of you have met me and some not. I am 26 and brought the 2006 Dodge Viper 2 1/2 years ago. Probably wondering how I was able to afford it. I had a excellent welding job but it was some HARD work. I wanted my dream car and that exact color combo "bumblebee" I wanted the very last year model but they never made an 07 viper but didn't want to buy brand new.

Due to the economy, I lost my good job and was laid off for 8 months trying to find a decent job just to get me by to keep the Viper. I almost did have to sell it but got lucked out with another welding job but only manage to make it by with lots of overtime. Now I have my great welding job back just recently and work part-time welding for a local company.

Here's some pictures

I notice some have talked that the exhaust sounded like shit and I do agreed but only below 2k rpm after that its really sick WOT. I have to get headers to fix that sound with the exhaust I have on there now. Reason to sound like that is because of the ignition setting for the V10 in order to make the engine to run smooth.

For those that have to get me to run or race. Sorry but this is on public roads and I have race tracks to go to do that. I don't normally run drags but road course is hell of alot more fun but expensive.

Here's my best time for 1/4

60' 1.79
330 4.987
1/8 7.527
MPH 99.07
1000 9.701

1/8 7.494
MPH 98.39
1000 9.637
1/4 11.452

Intake, headers back exhaust (no cats), SCT tune and Stock PS2 tires

it's hard to make an unbalanced firing order sound good, but hey...power is power.

Wow! Thanks for the welcome you guys!

Haha Lance, I had way too much and you notice that tonight. I'm finally getting better lol.

Yeah I was waiting for someone to notice that I joined over a year ago. I just gave up posting since I got sick of the internet trolls and its not from this site but I just gave up on all. I just like to meet some local car guys so I know this would be worth it.

Hey Jim! I haven't seeing ya I a long time. How you been?

Tri! Thanks for the welcome. Yeah, its been a while. So got anything new happening?

All the money you blow on booze would have easily bought you a new phone with a decent camera by now, in case I hadn't hinted at it before...

I think I hold out just to piss you off, haha. With all the money you spend on taxes in Chi town, you could pick up a Panamera!

We left not long after you; Alex's friend never played bar dice before and lost twice in a row.
