Default 1996 Viper GTS Venom 550 Hennessey - modifications

Here is another project that I am working on. I purchased this 1996 Viper GTS Venom 550 Hennessey a couple years ago and am now in the process of "tweaking" the car...for both power and looks. This Viper only has 1800 miles and hasn't even reached it's first oil change!! I can not own a vehicle and not "tweak" it regardless of its age and/or value. So let the wrenchin' begin!!!

Here are the stats before the "tweaking" began.

Engine
  • V10 8.0 L - 488 cubic inch
  • 10.0:1 compression (increased due to the Hennessey mods)
  • Hennessey Venom cylinder heads
  • Hennessey roller camshaft
  • Hennessey intake manifold
  • Hennessey Venom 550 valve covers
  • 514 HP and 543 TQ (at wheels)

Exhaust
  • Hennessey 1 3/4" stainless steel long tube headers
  • Hennessey 3" stainless steel tubes

Brakes
  • Brembo 13" racing calipers - front/rear
  • Mov'It 13" cross drilled rotors - front/rear

Suspension
  • Koni coil over shocks with Eibach springs - 2" lowered

Wheels
  • 18"x10" HRE - front
  • 18"x13" HRE - rear

Tires
  • 285/35 18 Michelin - front
  • 335/30 18 Michelin - rear

These pics are what the car looked like when I purchased it.
