Although this isn’t our first SEMA rodeo, there is something exciting about seeing a project car come to together for thousands to see. SEMA is the place where car dreams, become a reality! The dopest mods and latest product creations are all revealed, for people from around the world to see. When we were trying to decide what car to take to the 2013 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, we wanted to branch out of our normal foreign facade, and get in touch with our American roots. We went the domestic route to show people that, although we specialize in foreign cars, we still got love for the homeland. We are excited to present not one, but two domestic project cars this year at SEMA. In case you’ve been living under a rock; we have our Ford Focus ST and our Dodge Viper SRT. The Focus will be at the Toyo Tires booth and the Viper is on display at the Seibon Carbon booth. We will be posting Focus pictures later in the day, but this blog is all about the first look at our Viper!
The Viper is the perfect marriage of heart, history and new age technology. The issue with Viper’s in the past has been that they don’t embrace modern technology. They are excessively heavy, bulky and still trying to relish the past. The latest SRT (Street Racing Technology) breaks the molds of all those concerns. No only is the body made exceptionally lighter but the technology within the car, is made to cater to the driver, not the other way around. Although the car is made lighter through carbon fiber and aluminum features, there was still room for improvement, not only in weight, but aesthetically as well.
We worked with Seibon to make some awesome carbon elements. The most talked about addition was the carbon fiber hood. We left it in it’s raw carbon form for the first pre-SEMA photoshoot to show the full extent of the modification. Other accents that Seibon created was a front lip, front canards, rear diffuser, side skirt, and rear wing spoiler. Agency Power designed a custom cold air intake system, Agency Power 80mm catless race pipes, Agency Power 80mm high flow exhaust system, and will be producing more performance enhancing modifications after SEMA.

To finish it all off we went with a wheel that turns heads, no matter what car they’re on. ]NicheVicenza wheels are a 20×10.5 in the front and a 21×12.5 in the rear, wrapped with a sexy set of Pirelli Tires. The 1 piece monoblock forged construction still retains a lightweight function and the root beer finish makes them the perfect touch of sex on the already irresistible white body.
Here’s our first look at the vicious reptile on display in the Seibon booth. Follow all our SEMA debauchery HERE.
