    This is not a for sure thing yet, but I wanna try and be as prepared as possible.

    I might be trading my Charger in for a Viper (MIGHT). The salesman is talking with management to see if they will take the car "as is". If not. I would like to see if anyone local or close to SD would be willing to trade motors, complete swap. I currently have the PPP 426 longblock, with Kooks headers, and off road mid-pipes. In return I would ask for your complete stock longblock + $3,000. I could also throw in the ID 22's (Just like Ron aka
    1BAD4DR's wheels) for $500.00 more.

    So you would get:

    - PPP forged 426
    - PPP stage 2 heads
    - PPP custom cam & PPP race warrior cam
    - Kooks LT's and off road midpipes
    - Diablo 426 tune
    - and for $500.00 more I will throw in the 22's

    I would get:

    - your stock motor + $3,000 or $3,500 (Depending if you wanted the rims or not)

    I am not sure how we would work the labor fees. What do you guys/gals suggest ? I want to be as fair as possible. All suggestions are welcome.

    *Again, this is not yet a for sure thing, but please let me know if you are at all interested.

    I will buy your rims for that price!!!! you got to think that its goig to cost you some money to swap motors to maybe sell the motor for 2500 and ask for them to pay for the swap

    If I end up getting the Viper, they are yours.

    I will let you know as soon as I hear back from the dealership.

    Damn bro...if you would have posted this a month ago I'd be all over this. But, realizing that a 4200 lb car that is already "fast enough" to have fun with, I've decided that no more modding is necessary. And since I don't drag race, cause it's for fags (not literally JMatt), I don't see any reason at making a perfectly fun car a little faster for thousands of dollars. Good luck friend!!!

    This is a smokin deal. Someone needs to jump on this.

    Rick, you don't like drag racing cause you don't have a real drag strip in SD and you reactions are that of a stoth, or about 5 feet per minute. So your 60' would be about 12 minutes. You just want a funny hat and an ascot blowing out your window.

    Rick even for road racing the 426 would be great and about the same price those guys paid for the blowers right?

    I'm just messing aroud fellas. I know it is a smoking deal. But, I'm going to reign in some of my selfishness for a year and trade in the 2001 Tacoma pickup my wife is driving and buy her a decent car cash with the 26k I'm getting in a few weeks for my first installment of my three year reenlistment bonus. I'm going to be gone until May anyways, and won't be putting one mile on the car while I'm gone. I'm going to buy a purpose built rally car next October for my second bonus installment and do some of the California/Arizona rally races.

    It happened to me my friend. I need to take the kids on more vacations and enjoy them while they still want to hang around dad! If I'm lucky I have 6-8 more years before it is all about friends and other stuff. I love the car as it is, but would love to add more. (LUIS HOOK A FELLOW POCHO UP!):love:;):friends::worthy:

    Well fellas, after a lot of back and forth BS with the dealership regarding numbers. I decided not to go through with it. It was hard as hell for me to walk away from the Viper, but the numbers just didn't make sense to me. Wouldn't have been a smart financial decision, at this point and time. Thanks for the interest. I guess it's time for the Nawwwwzzzzzz !!!!!!

    Here is a pic of the Viper I was fighting for. Just in case you are curious:

    ... and still a fucking retard! LMAO!

    Think about it... all the research, bitching, in-fighting, arguments with the wife, etc. etc. etc... and THIS is the result! LMAO! Wow, us men are dumb fucks!

    I call bullshit. You'll be crusing in an M3 in the next year or two.

    Newsflash: Moron, you're not even their father... LMAO!!!

    Luis, sorry to hear it went bad... its a sick looking car fosho! Although, you'd just end up blowing even more $$$ on the Viper... given what it does stock, you'd be shooting for 1000hp+ and an empty bank account.

    That's EXACTLY why I had to walk away. Well that and a considerably higher monthly payment.

    Oh well. There's always next year....... :cry2:
