Beautiful PK Race Cars built car. I think it ran GT/CA. I was told it has a newer engine package from the Cobra Jet cars.
Car has no roof or convertible top. Quite innovative but does it belong in S/S???

Sooooooo,, Jeff, what do YOU think about this car? You started this thread,so you must have a reason for doing it. Personally, I don't have a problem with it and I can see its a very nicely done piece. I'm hoping I get to see the car next year when I travel east..

So a 94-96 Viper Roadster was available does this mean we can buy a super gas roadster, change the body, and go race Super Stock with a 340 low compression motor?

No -- for two reasons. 1) The Viper is listed in the Guide as a convertible, not a roadster. 2) A S/G chassis would not be SS legal. You can buy a Viper convertible, backhalf it like every other Super Stocker, and run it with the top up as required.

The 2014 is also available as a roadster, I think I need to send an email. I like the car, I mean I love topless, if its a race car or females.

I'm fine with it in S/S because these cars were ran back in the day in the stock classes. Didn't Bruce Larson drive one of these before his Funny Car days?
Why I started the thread, I like threads that get a lot of conversation going. I figured this would create much conversation.

Bruce drove one of the few Dragonsnakes that were produced, it was powered by a 289 with webers and ran in A/SP if I remember correctly. We ran a '65 vette with a 327/365 and ran in B/SP. Bruce was the bane of the class, he could run as far under as he wanted to and we never got past him in the eliminator...a fast car indeed!
