Dodge Viper - Everything You Need to Know | Up to Speed 

The Viper is just waiting to come back. Dodge is going to wait long enough for people to stop caring about the old V10 then realize they have a bunch of Hellcat engines laying around... So they might as well put it in something that doesnt weigh the same as a minivan.

FUCK YEA HALO REFERENCE

Viper has to go away for a while and says to the fanboy "Fear not... for in a few years when a Euro car take over returns, so shall we..."

The Hellcat engine will never be as bullet proof as the V10, just saying from a builder's perspective. Personally if you want something down right insane but not for the faint of heart or Mopar fanboy... LS3 BiTurbo Monster with GTO manual box in a mid 90's Viper. I have a customer considering having me do the swap because I am quite good with custom wiring and Frankenstein monsters in general. Its not unheard of for guys that want to race expensive cars but keep their value up. I have assisted in LS swaps into Ferrari cars before, so they could be tracked while their factory power plants got to sit safely in some rich guy's pool house.

Just like my dad

I scrolled for so long looking for this comment lol

Woooh I thought he died

Same

i hope so otherwise would that not make the video illegal? like i said, i hope so!

So...the driver walked away alive and grabbed himself some burgers from Wendy's to calm himself down

I’m a vette guy and had an 88 vette. But god vipers are badass. The Viper is all elements. They’re amazing.

Nice

damnn!

@@zr1cvette vipers are the perfect answer to corvettes.

We seriously need a voice over artist to read this 😂

"Rear wing 1776 millimeters across . . . why, because that is when America was founded you philistines!!!" ... also, NY Times you can GFY with your 1619 project!!!!

True

We need it to put these dumbass c8 lovers in their place. Thats behind the Viper, starring at the taillights it'll never pass.

@@KingDeadMan the viper will be long gone by the time the c8 finishes a quarter mile....might need the zr1 for a viper

@@bibaswanmukherjee7237 lmao 😂😂😂

First reply

STR8 UP FKIN, HOW U FORGET ~!!!!!

Facts

The fact that the likes says *918* has me laughing. That record we took from Porsche made a lot of people upset. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

GSS99videos HAHAHA

I would put the Delorean in that category

GSS99videos no one is complaining. The Viper is one hell of a car.

that was so rapidly escalated!

honda prelude would be good

Valid argument.

Strongly agree

boom😅

did you see the Tesla with the LS engine in it? 2021 SEMA. stupid stuff.

I agree! But I do wish dodge would put out sooome sort of track car maybe called something different or make a hybrid track car or something idk.

Jacob Kluck thought I was the only one lol

He was getting burned out

Level of cocaine

Older up-to-speed videos he doesn't have as much enthusiasm, in newer ones he loves his job and is going through it, as the fans love it too. Back in this age he was kind of just an "info" guy.

He's a champ tho!

Go on a yt channel called ' vinwiki ' and there is a video where a guy talks about daily driving a dodge viper and some cool n funny stories! Worth a watch in my opinion dude!

@@404theonly Yep. Casey Putsch did daily drive one, and the Pirellis nearly killed him in the winter when they couldn't stop the car in time and the front of the car dove straight into a car that was making an illegal turn onto an expressway. It wasn't his fault but nearly his funeral.

you'd be dead if you're a poser who owns a powerful car but rely on electronics to actually reign it in.

There's a guy in my hometown (Newark Ohio) who drives his 2nd gen viper all the time almost daily

I daily drove a 2016 ACR from my work for like.. 3 months a while back, it was the most amazing thing ever but yeah, on the few rainy days we had I was def doing like 40 mph everywhere ..

It has to dive in order to even reach over 40mph

Laughs in v10. Yes

It's a burd

@@A_Man_Of_Culture_ but it can still reach absurdly fast speed 🤔

@@azwads5126 it reaches an absurdly high speed through the same method as dropping a rock from a large height. The fastest bird in level flight is actually the North American bald eagle with a maximum level flight speed of 67mph while the perregrin falcon has evolved to have stability and control in a dive not reach high speed in level foight.

If Corvette lovers keep running their mouths, they may just bring it out sooner. Cuz we all know, Corvette likes to run and hide whenever the Viper comes out. 😂😂

@@KingDeadMan bull According the absolute sheer dominance of the ALMS (or now IMSA) the C6.R Corvette was the best car ever built. If you go all the way back to 97 Corvette has won every single season in their class except 2017 when Aston beat them in the last race due to a flat tire. And they single handedly shut down the GT1 class. Aston, Porsche, and Jag all went to GT2 and Dodge quit

Evett's Model Shop fuck what they think, live your life before you can't!

Evett's Model Shop Not if you’re in Tokyo Drift XD But in all seriousness the viper is badass and if somebody doesn’t think so... well who gives a shit

And I bet he doesn’t regret it one bit

Evett's Model Shop they all laugh. But who's laughing now when he isn't paying 30%apr.

Evett's Model Shop Kaneohe Hawaii?

Muhammad Mikhail nice

Viper Demon? Mmmm it doesn't match at least for me, but obiously i will bring it back with the V10, but this time with 700hp, but it needs a name something better than hellcat or trackhawck.

@Jason Mullings Death Adder sounds good, but for me something is missing, wait i got it that can be the Name of a High performance package name. Lets put it like this: Dodge Viper D.A. To make it look EVIL i would put darker Headlights and Tailights, it will have the ACR aerodynamics but the features of the Normal Viper with the ACR rollbar. It will have color variations like: Green, Red, Yellow, Blue, Purple, Orange etc etc.

Are you trying to kill us all?

Mid engine V10 Hemi...

i have a viper toy with the same colos but reversed

Alex Hrusa and needed

Here in 2022 We Really need it back

"But mister President, why'd you order the transition to the metric system, when everything here is designed with imperial in mind?" "Because the Viper said so."

Yeah sure they were supposed to make a small ass 1.776 feet wing

David Páez I mean, they could've went with 1.776 yards.

Because 1776 inches is 148 feet, and god knows Chrysler don’t wanna look like a bunch of ricers

Adam Reid well let’s face it, 1776 foot spoiler would be a little ridiculous

Why didn't this blow up

Fuck yeah😂😂😂

LOL yesss

Best comment!

Why ???? Is it because the world is flat ???? Oh that's right, because its not flat but curved , and you have to slow down in the curves ?? Right ????

@@rubytuesday5684 Well, we are talking about the "VIPER", the production car with more records, more records than Bugatti Veyron, maybe you can't drive with the Viper 180 milles in an hour, but you can do a lap in Nurburgring in less than 7 minutes without paying 2 million dollars for an overrated Ferrari. Do you know that the "VIPER” kept the record of Nurburgring for more than three years without interruptions? Nurburgring is the home of car brands like Volkswagen, Opel, Audi, BMW, RUF, Mercedes( the winner of the last 7 seasons of formula 1), Porsche ( that alredy has the record with the 919 hybrid evo) you know, Porsche and Mercedes test everyday new prototipes on the track, the last "VIPER" went to Germany without the suppport of the factory, only a few group of fans collected the enough money to buy two Vipers ACR, without proper tires, without a proper pilot, and without enough time, the Viper got a time of 7:01 surpassing the time of cars like the Mercedes AMG GTR PRO. So shut up and admire the venom of the " VIPER" From an european

@@joseluisfernandez6592 Where do you get off lecturing me in regards to either the Viper under dodge or SRT. ??

Presently - I own three (3) Vipers. #1. Is a 2008 SRT convertable ....The Burnt over Orang color Goes well with the 725 HP top end Mods.

@@rubytuesday5684 my opinion of you: I don't believe you, I'm sorry, a person Who owns three Vipers is because that person really likes Vipers, buy one Viper is ok, buy another one, why? Ok maybe you like a modern generation, but three? Camon man, you came from nowhere saying you have three Vipers, that kind of things is only done by rich people, and you are aswering me in RU-vid, you know rich people who want to buy three Paganis because there are only 10 models in the world and want to start a personal collection of exclusive hypercars like Bugatti or Koenigsegg. And why you modified the three cars? It does'nt make sense, just modify one, I know people who owns more than 70 Vipers but they aren't modify, all of them are original, as I said you before, people who have a cars collection. Is impossible to owns three Vipers, one with 1000 HP, all modified, if you modified them is because you are using It.

Benji 2600 The AE86 was only for one year though and the rest of the Corrolla line was pretty lame afterwards. The S2000 hardly had any changes and only 2 series models AP1 and AP2 and the final year Club Racer model. They did the Type-R Civic with a nod to the Teggy but there are only two Tegs really to be mentioned the DC2 and the DC5 Type Rs and the rare DB8 4 door Type R which Donut didn't mention, that was the first 4 door Honda to have the Type R badge. The rest of your list would be nice especially the MR2 and Corvette not to mention the 911 which has to be done.

Benji 2600 shitz n gigglez: Pontiac pantera

nooo... until there's no car left to review. this series is fuckimg awesome

I thought it was because they suffocated in a small dark and stinky tunnel. ;)

ALLIN Alin 😂😂

yooooooooo for real! hahaha

Also, as I was lucky enough to attend the ‘closing’ ceremony of Connor Assembly and I overheard the plant manager tell someone to not be surprised if FCA announced a Viper ‘replacement’ by the end of next year.

That's badass.

That's pretty awesome

It was so cool, the last viper ever Produced was sold to a woman named D’ann Rauh, she owns over 80 vipers and lives in Texas. The coolest part about going to work with my dad (he now works at Warren Truck) was seeing how precise the production was. They only made 3 a day because over 90% of production was by hand. To call it a factory doesn’t tell the whole story, the floors were perfectly polished everyday and there were showcars all over the place. More of a museum really, such a cool place.

Definitely I wish I had made it to the factory

*where I will actually kick the bucket.

USA car racers

that would be "ARC" doofus

Red Baron hehe doofus hehe dooofuuus that’s funny

Acrc ??

I was gonna buy one when I was 22 but I imagined the repaired costs and insurance plus me loosing all that money if I wreck it... I opted for a firebird instead no regrets still driving it

Fuck yea dude

@scarolinaviper Blue i think you have the same dream as a young man as i have. I want to own a Dodge viper GTS le (gen5) when i am a bit older.

Who in their right mind would try to drive a bend in an american sports car?

macsmith2013 I do it every day. And fast too.

macsmith2013 i did it almost daily in my 2004 svt cobra that handled like a dream baby but im a die hard bmw fan and am not narrow minded about brands. Saying american cars can't turn tells me 1 you don't live in the greatest country in the world: the U S of fucking A 2 you have never owned a real american sports car Or 3 you don't know how to drive a car to its limits (MOST LIKELY THIS ONE)

Javi how ironic, I was referring to a terminator as well, lol

But mm is european :v

lmfao

It's not European, you dipshit. Its the International System of Units. (SI)

mm is standard on all american automobiles now

Jordan Hillard uh it's called metric goof

I'm sure she screamed because of the viper got crashed, not people in it.

@@adamwozniak30 *_Yep_*

Yeah, she was having an emotional reaction to seeing people she cared about potentially dying right in front of her eyes.

That's not a r e a l r e a s o n *Ralph*

Lol you're profile pic

There is a reason why people don't drive actual race cars around as daily drivers. They are incredibly uncomfortable.

I've got an RT/10, and it's quite comfortable

If you've ever driven one you would see how comfortable they really are. Driving 500 or 600 miles in a day is no problem, except for the fuel. Fell in love with the first one I ever drove and now I don't see myself ever not having one.

Yeah, I practically daily drive mine, and I've taken it on several road trips...super comfortable

ThePieFlava would you prefer 1776 inches spoiler

joeforit - 1776 inches spoiler!? SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!

I’m an American (US Citizen to specify which American country) Engineer - my team and I use the metric system every day. Most cars manufactured in the US use metric hardware (Toyota, Honda, Nissan etc) and most US owned car companies (GM, Ford, Dodge etc) while typically manufactured in Canada and Mexico are bi-curiously using hardware from both systems for some insane reason.

+Neg Ative I frankly know of nothing on a 2018 dodge chevy or ford that is measured in inches except wheel diameter, pressures such as tire pressure oil pressure boost and vaccum, and speedo,odo, and mpg. Nothing mechanical besides wheel diameter.

Just for youtube It has slowly trended in that direction but that is an example of both systems in use on the same car

Emil Simms 😂😂😂😂

Emil!

lol 😂😂😂

they butchered the new nsx, doing exactly the opposite of what Dodge/SRT did to the Viper.

Just like my dad

I'm waiting

InTheZone I know, it's too practical looking

Gayyy

Fiat owns Ferrari Chrysler owned Lamborghini Fiat owns Chrysler so technically Fiat owned Ferrari and Lamborghini

Yeah but not at the same time. I think Lamborghini is owned now by VW.

"Fiat owns Ferrari Chrysler owned Lamborghini Fiat owns Chrysler so technically Fiat owned Ferrari and Lamborghini"...LOL Note even close. Chrysler owned Lamborghini from - 1987

It's not confusing. Maybe you're just slow?

Jerry Velasco there was also a rumor of a merge between Fiat and VW...

I love viper more than corvette

dark crusher1221 I think the world is beginning to move away from huge engines that drink huge amounts of fuel. As much as I want the Viper to return, I think the changing attitude towards fuel consumption (I guess) may stop that from happening. Especially since some countries are planning to ban the use of fossil fuels in the future. I can't see an 8 litre V-10 existing then.

person fishforce yes china, UK, France and California have all stated they are going to move to electric power cars. Maybe an electric viper is in our future? Or maybe im just being to optimistic.

dark crusher1221 An electric Viper just sounds, odd. Maybe a smaller powerplant? Like a V8? Or even a V6??

Lets hope that the viper returns as an affordable electric minivan.

person fishforce Wait! You just gave me an idea! What if they made spin of to the viper! The can get a giant electric motor, with a powerful as fuck battery! And add a semi-automatic. And they can call it the Thunder Viper! (Or Electric Viper) It will be the most powerful electric car on the market! Able to get 36000 rpms and have 1080 hp to the crank!

joecugo the car still exists so is

@joecugo The sales numbers can only prove how many were sold, nothing else.

@joecugo I don't know. Maybe it was bad marketing, maybe it was bad timing, maybe there were other cars in that period that offered more for less, maybe it was everything above combined. All i'm saying is that poor sales doesn't mean it's ugly. There are many examples of beautiful exotic cars that didn't sell at all. It happens. While the new viper is not as distinctive as the old one, the base shape is there and it's just more angry because people like angry cars nowadays. It's not that it's uglier than the previous models, just different. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder anyway.

joecugo hurr durr

and as Chevy has found need to copy, again, the lines of a Dodge, in the corvette, people are feeling good about buying a cheaper, I mean cheaper, car that tries to copy....now lets look at the new mustangs..anyone see a challenger in that back side window???? should i keep going? It's all about them thinking they are buying a hot car to look good in....Proud owner of 1991 Stealth ES. 1992 Stealth TT, and 1992 Stealth RT

Jv's viper? 🤤

The viper in NFS HP2 was fast but always spun out in the turns. Wasn't even surprised when he mentioned its oversteer issue.

Ohhh that2 sweet2 Jv's viper😂 always want to get that car.. and then customize it by changing its body kit to the last one.. then having "Banshee" Spoiler

also changing the color to red 😂

In NFS Carbon, fully upgraded viper had the FASTEST ACCELERATION!!!!!. TAKING OUT LAMBO MURCILAGO, AUDI QUATTRO. I had it (NFS), and when at the starting line I put nos energy and it will rocket to 120 kmph in uper 2 sec !! That thing launches like a rocket when it is launched.

Who?

I belive it's "itsjusta10" now

yes

PapaKoalaa RU-vid:👎👎👎🚫demonized

He is fine actually

*_They survived_*

Its from a High Octane VHS, the clip is on RU-vid.

Krzysztof Dolecki rumors and facts are two different things and yes it is true that the Viper is a dangerous car to drive if you don't know how to drive just like the high-power Mustangs. Just look on RU-vid how many people have wrecked a Mustang because they had 500 horsepower at their foot and did not know how to drive properly

Even Rob pobst I believe his name is spelled said it had a tremendous amount of Oversteer

Krzysztof Dolecki but then he stated when the ACR came out that's when the Viper really shined 1/16 of 18 races remind you of other cars like the Ford GT40 that Smackdown those European Ferraris and Lamborghinis back in the 60s or 70s as for the new Ford GT I love The Styling but hate the fact that they put a V6 in it even though it's twin-turbocharged who puts a V6 in a hypercar

The safety concern is more about the fact that they couldn't fit the proper airbags into the car. (Nitro)

@@arly8445 lol

You should do it last on your bucket list...to, you know, make sure you finish the list.

"The Viper V10 is based on the Chrysler LA engine family, and appeared with the Dodge Viper in 1992. It was conceived and prototyped as a Magnum 5.9 with two extra cylinders and a longer stroke of 3.88 in (99 mm). Lamborghini engineers revamped Dodge's cast-iron block V10 for the Viper[citation needed] by recasting the block and heads in aluminum alloy. Prototype blocks were cast by Lamborghini, at the time a Chrysler division. The first-generation Viper V10 engine had a displacement of 8.0 L (488 cu in) and produced 400 hp (300 kW) and 465 lb·ft (630 N·m)."

I saw an interview with a member of Team Viper, and they said it is a myth

Let's all go buy one and look 😁

I already did, lol

Actually the V10 in the RAM is a LA/MAGNUM with 2 extra cylinders, the Viper V10 is not related to either engine

you ever heard of TVR?

deathline didn’t he do some of these

Obviously not if I'm not requesting them lol. You could look at the Up to Speed playlist and see which cars they've covered.

They did celica supra for the supra episode but didnt follow the celica's story

Which is why I requested they do the rest of the Celica, since it has it's own lineage as a rally car.

Yup, that is the single scariest car on the road, it needed better brakes on the roads, and better suspension, then it would be waaaaay better to drive on the road

You just suck at driving

It was a death trap that drove terrible on anything other than a perfectly groomed track. But once it got to the track, it made laughingstocks out of everything out there. I saw a 1997 GTS all stock riding on racing slicks driven by an experienced guy humiliate a bunch of new European supercars at New Jersey motorsports park. They are fast....

so how many 0-dead is your viper? just asking

That's why we need people that are better at driving.

the clip came from a DVD series called high octane filmed by guys from New Zealand

I did literally the exact same thing haha

KooTzXBL you are too young my padawan.

Yeah. That clip has been around as long as my khaki cargo pants.

KooTzXBL I made a mental note to search it next lol

csuxak47 ayyy

.

The Slayer I noticed that too. How easy is it, to get any Viper now? To buy or to borrow, where Donut is based.

That BMW is in every of his videos.

but Germans owned Chrysler when viper was born - so it's appropriate :)

Tomasz Kusmierz Not exactly, the Dailmer Chrysler merger happened late in the 90s. The viper came out before the merger.
