SSG GEN V with Vossen Wheels…

Told you guys/gals that I’d be adding some more colors to this render, so here is one of the first. This is Snake Skin Green (aka, SSG). SSG has become a hit among the Viper community. It has has that “WOW FACTOR” in person. Just a great color, like many of the other newly added colors from ’08-’10.

SRT posted one of my renders on their FB page!! Near 5k ‘Likes’!!!

Facebook is that huge place to go look at peoples profiles and get jealous of how well their lives are going compared to yours. Damn, did I just type that? Oh well. Anyway, SRT has chosen to post one of my renders on their FB page. Being I’m not on FB, I was not aware of this until a buddy of mine from the VCA linked me to it. To say it made me happy would be a little of an understatement, as I always secretly wonder if SRT has seen my PS’s, as I know they read the forums.

As happy, honored and flattered that I am about it, I do wonder two things… Why did they not give me credit for the rendering part of it, and secondly, why they didn’t chose to post the most recent and updated version of this particular render? The second question, eh who really cares (except for me). Granted, the pic was taken at the Conner plant, and I assume by the SRT team(?), but no credit was given to me for the rendering part of the pic.

Oh well for now. Again, Im still happy that they chose to post it. It has near 5k ‘Likes’!!! Thanks to anyone who reads their FB page and ‘Liked’ the pic.

Here is a link to the updated version of the render they posted, as well as the direct link to their post and their FB Wall posting.

Black GEN V Viper + black D2 Forged Wheels = AGGRESSIVE!

ADDED: GEN II GTS gas cap to blue GEN V GTS…

I’ve always liked the gas cap on the GEN II GTS, so when the new GEN V GTS came out with the gas cap on the side of the rear fender, I was a little disappointed. Not that the new one looks bad, but since they had gone back to the classic GTS look, I figured they would have carried that feature over. Oh well, I didn’t design the car. Anyway, I decided to add one to the blue GEN V GTS that I did. So that it’d be correct, I also reversed the ‘GTS’ emblem on the side to face the proper direction, as well as the watermarks from the photographer.

Blue and Black GEN V GTS’s with Vossen Wheels…

I was filtering through all of the new Viper pics on Flickr, when I came across this great new GEN V pic. It’s a studio pic that I had never seen before. I knew it’d make for a good base on a Photoshop. I really liked the wheels I added to the silver GEN V (a few posts down), so I decided to add them to this PS as well. They really fit the car. Although the Stryker Red has really grown on me, I’d still like to see more pics of different colors. Yes, I know, there have been GEN V mules running around in black, yellow, blue, white and red, but I changed this blue a tad. 99.999999% of the time I lower a Viper, as they have that dreaded 4×4 wheel-gap, so this car got the “go-low” treatment.

Edit: I’ve added a black version. More colors to come!

Thanks to Steven Pham Photography for the great pic.

Dodge’s GEN V Viper GTS-R ALMS car as a streetable vert…

Dodge unveiled the all new SRT GEN V Viper back in April of this year. I was fortunate enough to make it to the VCA’s (www.viperclub.org) private unveiling of the new Viper in NYC. It was a blast to say the least. Drinks, BEAUTIFUL women, Vipers and an awesome city. The street legal car and the new ALMS race car were both unveiled that night. My prediction of that night was true… People liked the look and aggressiveness of the race car much more than the subdued street car. Now, don’t get me wrong… To say Vipers are “subdued” is really just crazy talk, but compared to the race version, the street car looked like a pup.

The talk on the Viper forums has remained, that they race version looks better. This is what lead me to make a street version (coupe and vert) of the race version.

I’ll post the vert first.

This PS took a bit of time, as I had to take off all of the badging, wing and a few other things just to give it more a street car look. I then had to change the wheels, and of course the big task, make it a convertible!

Hope everyone enjoys!

FORZA GEN V SRT Viper w/Vossen Wheels…

This awesome picture of a silver GEN V SRT Viper started out as a high-quality screenshot, from the brand new Forza Motorsport 4 game, out for XBOX 360. I’ve added new Vossen wheels and a more aggressive stance, with the wheels/tires pushed out a tad past flush. It may only be a video game screenshot, but it made for one great PS rendering!

Enjoy!
