I have never heard of such a animal...and if there was one why would you want it? That thing would be very short and narrow. Not to mention very underpoweredwww.kitcar.ws |

your kidding me right. my wife has a 2004 miata. to put a viper body on would take some serious stretching and widening. and a motor swap. could you imaging being caught a red light with a prius and you and your big miata-viper get smoked. oh the pain.

If you want a Viper your better off selling your miatia and getting a Corvette C4 and go from there. There is a company called Fiero factory www.fierofactory.com i think it is but they sell RT/10 replicas based on C4 L98 Corvettes and Ford Grandia chassis. The good thing is you don't have to mod the chassis whatsoever the pannels bolt right in and if you want the performance of a real Dodge Viper all you need to do with the Corvette is Supercharge it and with will be much faster than the orginal RT-10 and be right up there with the current SRT-10. The car itself shouldn't cost you no more than 22k or less if you do all the work yourself vs trying to build it on a Miatia witch like some of you said it will be underpowered and it will clearly look like a replica let alone trying to make as fast or faster than the orginal. why are repilcas so expensive?! |

Some of yall need to calm down. He didn't say replica, so get it right before you throw a fit. He just asked a question. Some ppl have UNREAL expectations and are complete dreamers, but its always wrong to be hateful, especially if you didnt read the question carefully. Im assuming he's talking about this. www.moesrealm.com/img/bodykits/viper1.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.moesrealm.com/img/bodykits/viper1.jpg

www.moesrealm.com/img/bodykits/viperint.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.moesrealm.com/img/bodykits/viperint.jpg To answer the questoin, I personally have no idea who makes it. Maybe it's a one-off. It's RHD. I'd guess japanese. They do some crazy things over there. F*****i(italian manufacturer f-word) bumpers on silvias, etc. Gotta respect that they have fun, do what they like, and aren't so anal, but sometimes it gets weird. Sorry I'm of no help, but hey, if you find out anything, make sure and come back and let us know. I've developed a strange affinity for this car.

take it easy there sailor. i wasnt throwing a fit. i was just stating the obvious. my wife and i say it again my wife has a miata. its very slow. other than that its a great car for a girl. i even give people the business that leave the crappy little fiero engines in their lambo replicas. trust me im in no position to rag on anyone that looking for info on a kit build. i just think they should at lest be able to handle a family economy car. just my opinion.

Guess what I found...www.artex.co.jp/Pages/CarLife/ROADSTER/AeroStyle/REAmemiya.html" target="_blank">http://www.artex.co.jp/Pages/CarLife/ROADSTER/AeroStyle/REAmemiya.html Turns out the kit is made by RE Amemiya, a huge name in the Japanese aftermarket aero and performance component market. Read: It'll be pricey. This is the same company that puts the 997 front end on FD RX7s and once put a 928 front end on an FC RX7.
