Omar's 96 Dodge Viper GTS needed some new front wheel bearings, and upper ball joints. So he brought it by the normal guy garage, and we swapped in some new ones. I wish I could say it went smoothly, but it clearly didn't UNTIL we got the proper press to get the ball joint out of the control arm. The drivers side took us almost 5 hours, but after learning lessons and getting the proper tools, we did the passenger side in about an hour.

When I was 15 in 1995 I was riding my bike around some neighborhoods near my grand parents house when I came across a house with an early 90’s RT/10 in the driveway. The original version with no exterior door handles, red, with the original 3 spoke wheels. Actually that was before the GTS came out. Car looked so badass that I went back to get my 35mm SLR film camera to take pics of it. And I still have those pics in a box in the closet!

Ferrari is a graceful sports car and is so comfortable to drive... you slide gracefully into the interior driver's side. Because it is well distributed power ready at your disposable well you just glide along and let the Ferrari fly. Ferrari has graceful engine. Dodge Viper is a muscle car powered by a powerful truck engine... you get the feeling of having to jump into the interior driver's side. Because the Viper uses a push-rod type of engine you kind of get the sense of having to harness energy in order to race. You need to feel the Viper's engine in order to amount energy and amass energy... being on the constant look out, so to speak.

I will always love the Viper, it’s the first car I ever fell in love with. Although, I always wondered how it could make such little power with such massive displacement. Only 400hp from 8.0 liters?! It should be able to make that kind of power with less than half of that.

@@normalguysupercar I was thinking of buying one. But, at the time, it was out of my price range. I think it was $127K for the specialized model? ATS, I think?
