Viper, I love the black GT without stripes. And of course, a superb car to keep and drive. Is yours stock? Do you also own a Dodge Viper?
Dolph It actually has a matt black stripe over the original silver stripe if you look carefully.. A few gentle mods which inc bumper delete, KW suspenders (superb) pully upgrade, Dymag wheels and Heffner exhaust. No more mods though....done 4300 miles now. How about yours? any pics? I bought a Viper GTS new in 97 in launch colours but sold it a few years ago to fund my Etype build. Only done 5k and still has with the new owner

I can see the matte black stripes now.
Mine has been lowered about 1 inch and with Penske shocks. Bumper delete. Ford racing exhaust(loud, but sounds great). 3.4 liter super charger with a tune. About 750 hp. I did a 198.4 mph in a standing mile 2 years ago. Another GT from Texas has done 278 mph in a standing mile but is highly modified. I think a world record and street able.
I also bought a '96 GTS new, and still have it, blue and white. And a red '93 RT/10. Also got a couple of older Ferraris.
What Morgan do you have? I hope to receive my 3 wheeler this spring.

Neilda, your second picture of the Morgan and the Ford GT is beautiful. My Ford GT is the blue with white stripes. When my Morgan comes in, I plan to take a picture of the GT with it.
Dolph My +8 and the blue Ford GT live together in the garage - they look rather good alongside each other. The strange thing is that I get more fun out of the Morgan than I do the GT.... On UK roads with speed cameras like dandruff and the smaller roads being too small for the GT, the Morgan is just so much more useable.

Neil,
when did you get the driving lights fitted? They look good, how much do they improve road illumination?

Dolph Your car must sound monster noisy, mine is only running the cats as silencers and has a real bark to it but quiet when cruising With the KW suspenders it's infinitely adjustable but I have set it where you see it which is a fair bit lower but it's a real problem on ground clearance Vipers TS wasn't released until 97 my here but as you're aware the same blue with white but no continuation through the rear plate recess. I will own it back one day and luckily the chap doesn't ever use it. I have an S1 Aero which I adore, superb car. Loads of other cars too...major petrolhead problem....it's a drug

Yep, major petrol head problem. I can't stop.
How/where do you store all your cars?
