It sure did. The curb appeal of the car is undeniable, especially as most of the women found it "Cute" at first...But their opinions seemed to mostly change when they realized the raw, uncivilized ferocity underneath!

@tylerlondon5052 3 года назад

The exhaust comes out the side to reduce length which increases exhaust flow.

@RetroCarsForever 3 года назад

True, but from my research that wasnt the main motivation for the side pipes. Which were included more as a nod to the past/increase in “attitude”.

@@RetroCarsForever In the same vein of "dangerous-yet-exhilarating", I would have loved to see an 80s or early 90s Porsche 911 (especially a turbo or something with a whale-tail/duckbill) in the mix here. The mix of uniquely approachable styling and practicality would have been really interesting. Nonetheless, a great cross-section of the "automotive-human condition" in this group! Fingers crossed to see the tables turned in a future series.

@thejasonlundgren 3 года назад

I'm not a fan of cars per say, but the Viper still looks awesome after three decades. Plus seeing Valerie Perez in any type of RU-vid video is a true pleasure especially during the pandemic times.

It was so funny filming/editing this and seeing each woman's "journey" as they slowly realized more and more about the car!

@TheRobGoodman 3 года назад

The episode lived up the hype... I will admit it. I could do without that last bit.. Viper guys are notoriously relationship-focused and monogamous. Dana was slaying. But the best soundbite had to be Jenny who started out trashing two guys she knows and then says they are the sweetest guys in the world. Talk about a "journey".

@RetroCarsForever 3 года назад

Thanks man. I thought about cutting the "one night stand" bit out, but figured Viper fans could use a little salve for the wound of the "official" rating. And yes, Dana, slayer as always!

Thanks! I wish it would've done better as this was THE CAR when I was a kid. But yeah, guess it makes sense that they wouldnt be thrilled about a stupid fast car with no safety features, side windows, AC, with skin-scalding side pipes! Ive found that a lot of the stuff that car enthusiasts dig is the OPPOSITE of what non-car enthusiasts like.

@ViperSRTnACR 2 года назад

Viper guy here, pretty interesting episode. So a '94 model Viper is considered a Gen1 and is the most basic of all the models. Future generation Vipers received better interiors with airbags and antilock brakes. The appeal of the first-generation fiber is the rawness of the car which is what it was meant to be in the first place. That said, I think the women would have responded better to a second or third generation Viper that had a little bit more sophistication to them (and more power).

@RetroCarsForever 2 года назад

In retrospect, I think you're right that later Vipers would've done better. Going into this social experiment I wasnt sure what the women would or wouldn't respond to, so I picked some more extreme examples (like this early Viper) to learn from. And there was a lot we learned!

WOW. Now That was a interesting watch. I love yet hate the viper. Hate the nose, too rounded, but love it from there back. Love side pipes (cobra), but not the type on the viper. Love the v10, but the cockpit is WAY to tight for me. Tried to test drive one once, Sat in it and just said nope! Too tight for me to drive comfotably. Personally not worried about the safety, as it is what it is. Like a cobra, its about the car, the machine.
