RoG's Viper SRT-10. Seems like a pretty good kit, although from what I read, ride height needs to be addressed. Color is dupliclor Bright Red decanted and airbrushed. Black stripes come from the Revell Viper Coupe SRT-10.

Front stripes need a bit of attention before clear. I've been having luck with Krylon Krysal Klear, so I think I'll use that here again.

Stripped the chrome and painted them Tamiya X-1. Picked out the nuts with Model Master Chrome.

Quick mockup. Stance will be a little bit higher than this.

The ACR is what inspired me, although I am not ready to tackle scratching the body to make it look right. Someday...

I have seen that built stock it rides like a truck in the front. Can't remember which thread it was, but the easiest way is to glue the brakes to the rims, then glue the assemble to the chassis, ignoring those mounting holes. You could also try bending the supsenion arms a bit.
