Default my uncle

My Uncle just called me and he has to be one of the luckiest men in Florida today! He told me won one of the Florida lotterys (not the $370 million mega millions, he only won 1 million dollars [8D])
He just bought a 2006 Dodge Viper!!!
He was thinking about getting a ZO6 but he went with the 510hp viper instead!
Now he is thinking about foced induction but he doesn't know he he should supercharge or twin-turbocharge it. He wants a more "American" feel so he was thinking supercharger, but Itold him twin-turbo would be better. Don't you guys agree?
Ok, so what does this have to do with the Dodge Neon? EVERYTHING!! If it wasn't for the fact that his 2001 Neon company car didn't die out on him in the middle of town he would have nevre bought the ticket!

Nope...and I wouldnt suggest upgrading to a S/C, TT, or T/C either until he has mastered the Viper with STOCK power levels. There arent many drivers that would have the ability to handle 510HP, let alone 700, 800, or 1,100...

Seriously. He only won 1 million dollars. I hope he is investing it, because that money will be gone before he knows it.

well he is doing okay without the money too. He also owns a Mercedes SLK 350 and a porsche boxster s.
He is going to save some so that he can retire soon though. Other than that the money is basically for him to enjoy! I wish i could enjoy it for him [&:]

lol I think he may have had enough Neons...since he will probably only drive the viper on sunny days maybe i can convince him to geta stage 3 srt-4, doubt it though cause he says he wants to get a new BMW
(For some reason he really likes Euro cars)

* If you can find a 500 hp neon let me know *
* If you do, find me a 1000 hp neon * lol
