I know you guys thought the series was dead, but it was just delayed. Introducing #Cargasm Ep.2 driving one of the most iconic american muscle cars of recent years. It's been a dream of mine to drive this particular car since I first saw it in the parking garage at Microsoft and now owner Bruce McCallum (also my manager for 15 years at MS) has given me the opportunity and I hope you guys enjoy it. Probably one of the best days of my life just cruising through the mountains in this unforgiving beast. If you want to see more content like this in the future it was be on the Cargasm channel @ ru-vid.com so make sure you head over there and subscribe. I'm only publishing this video here because I'm so damn proud of how it turned out working with Volair Media (@volairmedia on Twitter) and doing some crazy shots with the RED Raven Cinema Camera they had. Enjoy the show and be vocal in the comments, even if it is just trolling. Every comment boosts my SEO so have at it boys :D
I need to 3D print me a couple of these, just a bit larger for ball room. Just need to get a larger version of these printers. YT Chan. - Tested - Formlabs Fuse 1 SLS 3D Printer Demo
The reason you can turn the key that far back and it wont come out is for listening to the radio without turning the car on or starting up every other electrical features. Its the Accessory switch.
Bingo, not used to this at all driving modern cars that use the first click forward method. But now I vaguely remember this being the same on my moms old Chrysler Cordoba.
I haven't been watching your videos as much lately, and this video was a hell of a way to break my Nerdgasm fast. I'm glad you're still doing great, Barnacules!
Thanks man! I quite enjoyed making this video but we need to have a better plan next time since we go so caught up in it we shot over 9 hours of footage and that is why the edit literally took months :D
It's really weird to see how many of the interior pieces in a viper are the same as in my Dodge pickup. And yes, the ignition not letting go of the key in the farthest back position is on purpose and I actually really like it. I never turn the key too far back and can't get it out, but I do like the being able to click it back to put it into accessory mode.
I absolutely will! I have no shortage of cool cars to review. Just had a rough year in 2017 and things are finally starting to get back to normal a bit.
Yeah, obviously he didn't notice that the radio came on when he put the ignition in accessory mode. That's an old feature that I don't think any car today has.
That owner has some balls. Vipers bite with no warning and the rain makes it even more lethal. I can't see me letting anyone drive my car and especially not in the rain. Vipers can be unforgiving of even the smallest mistake. Great video.
Fall in love with car videos since this, before this I don't care even a little bit. Thank you throw me into another time wasting big hole, thank you man.
I'm a a big fan of your channel, but Dodge Viper Engines were never produced by Lamborghini. When Lamborghini was owned by Chrysler, they helped design and prototype the Viper engine block and that's it. Viper engines have always been produced at the Mound rd engine plant in Detroit and then the Conner Ave Engine plant in Detroit. I know this because my buddy Fred worked at both plants and I own a 2005 Viper. Besides that, great review. BTW, I broke my my rear-end/axle, the replacement was shipped to the US from Daimler in Germany.
Wow such movie-quality 4K shots of the car in beautiful nature. At times like these I thank the 4K god for my monitor and techtubers to provide me with such great content. You give me joy in my own depressions Jerry, recently watched a couple of your newer videos after some break on my part. Razor phone, mech review, car crash vlog.. all brightened my day a little bit.) "Your speed doesn't matter. Forward is forward."
This was my first dream car. Always loved the blue with the white stripes. I wish someday i could be as lucky as you to drive one of these monsters. Awesome video and beautiful shots of a legendary car. Keep up the great work and I'm looking forward to ep3
Thank you for the information! The source I got the data from referred to it as a Hydraulic Piston and spoke to it's forced induction compatibility properties. I'll admit I'm not a genuis on all this stuff when driving cars I know very little about the internals of. But I do my best and I hope you enjoyed the video!
yep. He could even take some lessons from you about using a mic inside vehicles. Something he still has not refined yet. But i do love his channel and yours.

Great video! People still love these cars, you can't help but draw crowds in this car. I have a B&W 1996 UGR TT GTS. Just about everything on it has been modified, except the body. It's an absolute monster with 1125 rwhp on pump gas and 1500+ on race gas (I've never been able to get it to hold traction over this power level on the dyno). It's run 7.76 at 186 mph in the 1/4 with the factory based 6sp and IRS, and that was around 10 years ago. These cars are so raw and fun to drive, but they can be a handful when modified! Mine makes my C6Z feel like a modern Caddy, LOL! The only car I own that's more raw is the SL-C, but it's basically a prototype race car that can be driven on the street...
Good to see you back, Jerry! You're pretty brave driving such a powerful car after your crash. Hope you and the family is doing alright, and I wish you the best! Great video too, and great quality!
Actually I drove this before the crash, editing just took forever. But I still drive my STI like I stole it every single day, I don't let things like a crash scare me away from driving because it's a passion of mine. If race car drivers quit every time they stuffed a car they wouldn't be race car drivers.
Lamborghini helped designed the V-10 engine and the runner intake setup, but the engine was not produced or assembled in Italy. It was assembled in Mound Road Engine and later at Conner Avenue Assembly.
a true accurate review. Loud(with perf exhaust), touchy steering, flat magneted to the road, sitting in trunk, ANALOG raw power no traction control just go fast track car deemed road legal. fun and scary to drive if its not hot out and dry. REMEMBER, this car has 500 ft/lbs of torque, so most cars that get that kind of torque are 750-800hp cars like hellcat! So thats what it feels like street light to street light but with only mid 3000's in weight
Jerry, I didn't think you'd do another car related video so fast after your last video. Just an unfortunate coincidence I'm sure, and I know you're a great car guy. I trust your opinion on cars, tech, and car tech. With that said, let me just turn my 4k TV on so I can watch in the highest detail.
This is one of my all time favourite American muscle cars, it's absolutely gorgeous, and you're so lucky to get to drive in a mint condition example. Gran Turismo is probably the only way I'll ever own one, but at least I can race one around the Nurburgring Nordschleif or Laguna Seca without worrying about crashing it. :) Also the quality of the camera work is stunning in this video Jerry, your camera operator and editor/s are amazing, they really showed off this car at its absolute best.
Washington native here. Seeing western Washington through a video reminded me how beautiful it is. Nice driving B roll tho. Beautiful scenery. Loved this video. Thanks for sharing!
The key thing with it flipping backwards is for the accessory setting. If you noticed when you flipped it to the back the stereo stayed on. When you removed the key the stereo turned off. My 02 Sebring does the same thing.
Aero nerd here. Great video! Just wanted to point out that the vents over the wheel arches are actually extractors. They let warm air built up around the tires/brakes escape.
Absolutely amazing ... This is the first car thing I've seen that's actually BETTER(!) than the original British Top Gear ..... so fun; so informative ......
The ignition going one extra click back is accesory power. If you notice it turned the radio on. Our 1996 dodge intrepid does that.. Instead of it being between run and off its one click back from off.
The key position all the way back was a pretty common feature for cars of that age and older. It something like accessory mode. Allows you to turn on your radio and perhaps other accessories of the car without turning it on.
Great video Jerry. Also Doug DeMuro's video came up in the suggestions. Apparently replacing the stock radiator and hoses helps with that overheating issue you talked about. Might help your buddy if you pass that along to him!
The key turns one click back past where you can remove it, to a position called "Auxillary position". It only runs the radio and the a/c fans. Look closely when you turn the key back, the radio lights up.
The "key all the way back" is a feature that Chrysler had since at least the '80s so that you can listen to the radio without powering the ignition system. I think the wipers also work in that mode. (I have worked at a CDJR dealership for over 20 years.)
More cargasm! Really like this stuff but then I am a gearhead so... :) Awesome shots too! Oh and some lambos have the seat belts like that, in the middle.
Bikers and corvettes are my all time favorite cars ever so one of my favorite RU-vidrs doing a review one of my favorite cars is awesome. Oh yea and one of your buttons was undone lol
RE: Key position feature? Yes, it is a feature. It was very, very common on old cars. Pull the key towards you for parking and listening to the radio, using the cigarette lighter (on some cars), push the key one tick forward to be ready to start. That includes powering up electric fuel pump where applicable and running power through the coil. It was recommended that if you didn't plan to start the car, but, wanted to run your electrical stuff, you should use the accessory setting.
I have a friend who's a mechanic. He told me a story once a guy towed on Viper to their shop (they specialized in racing cars) and the guy told them "make sure you open all windows and doors before you started". Surely, my buddy and his mates forgot a about it. Once they started it, the noise broke 3 windows in the shop. Obviously the exhaust wasn't the stock one.
Pulling the key all the way back turns on accessory power. Like if you want to keep the radio on. Back in the 90's people loved to go to the beach and blast the in car stereo. Most cars from the nineties had this.
Carroll Shelby had a big hand in the creation of the dodge viper and other dodge products. most ppl only know him for his work with Ford. i wished they would of produced the Dodge Viper GTSR. i love the look of that car.
Absolutely, everything he touched was gold. I watched a series last year on a get together where all the Shelby Cars around the country grouped up in CA for a shoot and it was absolutely amazing, every single one of them even the really obscure stuff you wouldn't have thought he was involved in like the hot hatches not only looked awesome but still by todays standards performed well.
Dino Well, you got to have that last smoke before you end up in a huge fireball. After missing that Apex and tumbling the car ten times. Burst into flames. And goes off like a Nuke hit it.
The key turns back past lock because that's the radio mode. Only the radio is in so if you're sitting in your car and just want to listen to the radio without draining the battery with everything else you turn the key back.
Thank you! I love Epic-Exposure studio, one of the few places around here that you can shoot a car in a controlled light environment on a turntable that moves!
Howdy Jerry.... the key going back from where you pull it out is called accessory, the new cars have it in front of the insert position......Hell my 68 Pontiac Catalina with its all steel dashboard or my 70 Chevelle would blow you away with how little cars had back then plus that's when you know yer in an old car also there are a few cars over seas with the seat belts that come from the center of the Cockpit as its called, last thing on the CUP holder ( i was told by the dealer when I went to look at possibly buying a Viper) The dealer in FL told me they did not install any due to the heat coming from the floor of the car.....sounds like maybe but idk just thought ide pass that on......I told you to move down here to FL you would see every car ever made.......I am an hour from Mecum in Kissimmee.. Anyway nice to see yer out there playing with a car thats got an engine now.....no more electric shit... too soon? sorry was not being a dick just messing with you.
