Thats neat but I don't get why you take an engine out of a great chassis and put it in a very similar chassis. Why not just buy the viper. There are plenty of salvage title ones around.
Like Vipers? Like turbochargers? Ever wanted to combine them? We spotted this turbocharged V10-powered Supra among the drift cars at Gridlife. Long story short: lots of tire smoke, and lots of noise. Look for a full feature in GRM shortly.

Because this then makes their 2JZ Viper swap easier.....
I would imagine it has a lot to due with all the blown 2JZ engines that the "doriftobros" scrambled with very questionable ways to increase boost.

Yeah, plus a lot of totaled Vipers from rich guys with no concept of snap oversteer. Makes sense, I guess.
Kinda liked wrecked newish Mustang GT + million-mile-motor Volvo wagon = victory.
