Nice. I love the GTS-R concept/Competition Coupe body.  
What have you done to your Viper? Any modifications?

I haven't done too much to my car other than drive it on the local road racing venues to learn how to harness the HP and torque that I already have. I have improved intake, replaced the stock brakes with racing ones.
My engine is currently at Arrow Racing getting a complete rebuild. When it comes back later this week, I'll be adding a competition clutch, an aluminum flywheel and anti-toe brackets (to improve the handling). I'm in the process of designing a very modified carbon fiber hood for my GTS.
Belive me when I say that this car has plenty of power and handling capabilities for any advnced driver. Most of the guys who are obsessed with more HP, and mods like NOS, gears, half-shafts and so on, are usually from the drag racing crowd. I do not drag race. I find road racingmuch more challenging, and the rush lasts much longer. JMO.
My next set of mods will be of the suspension and chassis. I will most likely add Penske adjustable coil-overs to replace the Koni coil-overs that came with the car. Most of my time and money will go into improving my track driving skills.
Be safe and have a great Easter or Passover.
