You have to hate the haters. These so called car “purists” make me sick. If a guy owns a car he has every right to do what he wants to it. And no car manufacture is perfect. They all have thier strengths and weakness’ So If someone wants to make a frankenstien rig more power to ‘em. For example I don’t care if you take a cherry 1968 Dodge Charger (my favorite car by the way) gut the thing and stick a Duramax desiel in it. As long as it rips, snorts and burns its way to a really great adrenaline high and you had a great time building it. (which sound pretty bad ass come to think of it) Then you deserve all of the kudos in the world for putting all of that time, effort and money into a one of a kind rig. This Snake-Horse love child is going to be one of the sickist rides on the street. Great job man and make sure to make those haters put thier money where thier mouth is.

Good luck

Kyle

P.S. I’ll race you. I would gladly get my ass handed to me to see that thing in action.

Good job on this ride. For all the people who dont get it and left negative comments, you can not argue that all the hard work, money and craftmanship that is going into this ride is awesome and really what this site is all about. This man is a true motorhead and I am envious of his ride/free time/spare cash even though mustangs and vipers do nothing for me.

Even if it blew up in 4 months, he can say he did it and had fun. Who wouldnt want the spare time and coin to do something like this.

Hey there guys this is my car and my build…I’m not even going to take the time to address some of the highly uneducated comments I have read here. I will just say this. Some guys get doing a build like this and some don’t. If you like it thanks for the support and make sure you keep posted the car should be wrapped up by February. If you don’t like the car I’ll still sleep at night.

About the only thing that annoys me is people thinking this will be an under performing turd of a ride. Let me get some facts straight. The engine weighs only 45 pounds more then the cast iron 351W found in the 95 Cobra R’s. However it sits back further and 3 inches lower then that setup giving me a much greater center of gravity. The car is FAR more rigid then a stock chassis in every way. Check the build link on ViperAlley to see pics of the cage. The car is built right and will make over 1000 rwhp all said and done.

Anybody that would like to challenge these statements feel free to register over on Viper Alley and comment in the build thread. For those that would like to see the car in action I will be attending event all over the country in 2009. Everything from road race events, to drag events, to top speed challenges. I welcome you to bring whatever you have in the garage and show me what a “real” car can do.

here is the original build thread
