I still think Mike's old videos where he was doing basic upgrades to the dirtymax & vette were the best videos. Popping a monster then visiting Shane and Andy.
I actually agree with that. Such a nostalgic feeling when I look back at those videos and even hearing the music from those videos brings me back to the good ole days
Im not worried about the box of ammo. Im more worried about giving the greedy sellers stupid prices per round because people are hoarding or reselling at higher prices. Ill just sit back and wait for a decent deal to come up and limit my range time.
Hit us with a couple in video ads over the next 2-3 uploads. I know you usually don’t like doing that but its free money that gets the ball rolling on this Calvo build.
Honestly I had no intentions of buying anything for the give away truck because I really hate giving away money for a fraction of a chance to win something, but I’ll bite! I love how you keep it real with us with the financial stuff. I’ll buy a shirt or two!
I only buy them if I can honestly tell myself I want the shirt and would spend x on it regardless of giveaway entry. I like the shirts so I buy one now and then anyways and maybe one day it works out haha
28k (average) times 12 months that's 336k a year give or take before taxes. Add in the money he's raking in on his car "give away" *raffles* plus merch and the man's not starving.
Sorry but let's be real, Mike is building a huge house, already owns a nice house and a beach house and then owns like 8 very nice cars and trucks... he's doing just fine. If he needs money than stop supporting Bobby lol
Plus a zillion dollar mansion thing, wrecks dodge trucks and challengers like they’re nothing, jumps over lambos like they’re beater civics, has a bunch of high horsepower cars, gives away cars…. 😂 idk… seems like no shortage of money to me…
@@trashbandit2449 the Zr1/Z06 resale value would disagree with you. I'd rather own the car that broke 16 track records without a pro driver. Plus the exotic V10 will always be more special. But hey, fanboys will fanboy.
@@jesuschrist8069 true but if you think about it, it's a pretty good idea for Mike from a business standpoint. He already has the ZR1 as the racecar, so why have another one? Almost no one on YT is making popular content with a built N/A Viper, therefore he's unique. Also with the 9L, he could build it as an autocross track day monster.
@@biggusoofus9682 yeah I see your point but the viper has a lot more room to be faster than the zr1 and is a exotic car the zr1 isn’t so the viper can take the zr1 spot. It’s not like he’s gonna keep the zr1 forever he has to refresh content for us.
@@jesuschrist8069 good heads cam combo on a 5.7l will make 100hp over stock and thats without stroking the motor and going high compression with a crazy cam, cnc heads and ported intake manifold
I’m surprised you haven’t made any content on the Raptor. New wheels, but you said something about an exhaust before. I just want to hear it roar before someone who is not me wins it. 😂
That damn punching bag had me yelling at the screen to Mike to turn around. Then I rewound and saw it moving the whole time.. screw it, tis the season for spooky stuff so let's say you got ghost lol
Mike I love your content but man why are you reposting the same video with a different title. This video was already posted a few days ago with a different title. I watched it and loved it. Then I see a GOODBYE zr1 and think oh hell yeah another good video . Just to watch the same thing / video. With no new content in it. This has happened 3 times now . WHAT GIVES
I’ve been a truck driver for over 5 yrs. Truck drivers have 14 hrs/day to drive 11 hrs w/ a 30 min break after 8 hrs of continuous on duty hrs. Typically depending on speed limitations, we can travel between 500-750 miles per day
All these RU-vidrs take logos from other companies and change the letters to their name. You should put a little effort and make some unique stuff. If I want a chic filet shirt I'll go buy a chic filet shirt...
Can you do a video explaining the package you chose for the Viper? I just saw a video on the company and it goes from 1,300hp to 2,500hp. Also when you drop it off can you get some ride along footage in some fast ass vipers????
@@thegreatoutdoors2246 He doesn't. Not faulting his business model. He does giveaways. Sells merch. He works hard and deserves his success. Takes talent...real talent to make it on youtube...like Hoovie, Car Wizard itsjusta6
Mike I’m sorry but if you don’t get this twin turbo kit done. I’m gonna say that you should prolly just sell ur Jeep and find a WAY. The content is going to be insane with this twin turbo kit.
Your kinda living the life many people want. Glad to see you were smart enough to position yourself this way. And thank you for sharing your life, and this content with us! We all appreciate it!
Mick... can u do something simple, enjoying the viper? Like a road trip or a rally and work towards the build. It's a amazing vehicle. Its gonna take a while to learn and build/tune. Keep up the good work..
Your doing the right things as long as its worth it... I do believe RU-vid is making big bank off your views SHIT THEY HAVE COMMERCIALS EVER 4 MINUTES ON YOUR VIDEOS. Youtub needs to change their formula for you guys that have such viewership big viewership.. My question is can you make more money by making videos that are 1 hr long 2 times a week just driving and racing your cars and trucks? Love your videos when your not destroying your beautiful cars. LIKE I SAID YOUTUB IS MAKING BIG MONEY OFF YOUR CONTENT THEY NEED TO START SHARING IT WITH GUYS THAT ARE TAKING ALL THE RISK.
Mike over here trying to act like his only income is that $28k/month from the channel lol..no Mike....your using the money from the giveaways ($250k+) to pay for the insane cars and insane modifications and living on the $28k/month salary. You can't play a player
Dude.. kid...guy..dude... ** just joking** No but for real though, you need to take out those stock seat belts and install racing belts in the viper ACR. It's legit a race car it needs racing belts the seats have the spot for it, that says it all... love the car and the channel man. Keep up the good content all your cars and trucks are amazing.
But I mean…… bunch of lambos…. Giving cars away… giant house…. Wrecking a new truck for a stunt…. I guess it seems like money isn’t a problem but😂 who knows
@@richardduval7495 yup. Channels like this aggravate me sometimes. “I have no money” builds multi million dollar house. Wrecks dodge truck for so reason. Wrecks challenger like it’s nothing. Jumps over lambos like it’s nothing. Builds zillion hp cars and keeps buying more. Yeah right “you have no money”
Stop putting shit videos out of you jumping cars and do actually cool shit like you used too and RU-vid would pay better. Honestly if I see some corny shit on a video I don’t watch at all . Just my opinion. Maybe it will help in future video decisions
Don’t get me wrong I love American cars I own a Dodge Charger but I think it’s time for you to own an exotic not a Lamborghini or Ferrari im talking about a pagani Bugatti konessigge La Ferrari is the only exception
Surprised that Equinox was going so fast. Whenever I visit Virginia, everyone drives below the speed limit. Apparently anything above 80 MPH (even in a 70 zone) is considered reckless driving over there.
Yes anything 80 or above is reckless driving and the troopers in VA do not give breaks. When you drive into VA they have signs that say welcome to the Commonwealth of Virginia but what it should say is welcome to The Communist State of VA where they make up their own laws and infringe on every Americans rights especially the 2nd Amendment
Mike it's time for you to start putting your name on modes. Like you own turbos, body kits, wheels, branding is were the big money sets.... just one mans opinion
if you focused more on car content and less on the 10 mins of talking every video you would get more consistent views. you could condense the explaining more
Bro just do sponsors on the videos. No one gives a shit if u do everyone is still going to watch. Everyone else does it lol. Another thing that helps is increasing your ads to about two a video. Bro content is dope people are going to watch
Have any decisions been made on the Viper trans? Air shifter or sticking with the manual? I would love to see the car with a sequential transmission but if cash flow is gonna be a problem it sounds like it's gonna stick with the manual.
It has to be upgraded to tolerate the power regardless. Calvo usually installed the $18k PPG sequential kit into the stock trans. I would guess that's part of the package.
hey i got a 2014 GTC with a stage 1 calvo package and im not sure if anyone here would know but how much do you think a th400 swap would be or a simple non air assisted sequential? calvo said they can do an air assisted sequential for 56000 installed and tuned to my package but i literally just bought the stage 1 package for 140000… not too sure thanks!
Should have gone over the giveaway company finances. That's where the real coin come from. Would love to see in house screen printing like Bunker branding does.
@@bradheitz9139 he's been a partner with Shane since his first Corvette wrap when Shane worked out of a rented house garage. They started the giveaway company a year and a half ago, but way to make yourself look like the dumb idiot.
Quit down playing it. U don’t spend 30 k every month on videos. U may spend more on one build but let’s be honest here. You’re killing it and it is what it is. Do the numbers on the giveaways and don’t downplay it. Your making 10x more than the normal worker
Mike I love that fact you always keep your channels revenue open to us. I want to watch and hear you explain it over someone else with a RU-vid channel try to inform us. Thanks
I own a 2021 Mustang Mach 1 with handling package, recaros, and 6 speed tremec manual. I love Mustangs but whenever I see a 3.7 badge on a Mustang I laugh so hard cause I honestly think it’s embarrassing just to have it on there lol.
Bro I have a viper acr extreme just like yours do not get rid of it. Just leave it stock these cars will go up in price like crazy it is one of 2 American exotic cars and it’s a v10 I’m gonna hold on to mine for a while.
I can't wait for the viper build. I would like to see some actual race track in the future if it's possible, seeing what a calvo 1000+ wheel viper can do on a track would be badass
That would be bad ass! But I think the 9.0L stroker build would be better suited for track use. 727rwhp is still nothing to sneeze at. Especially when it's all motor.
@@PyroBlonde7777 very true. if he's actually going for 1500+ wheel the lag out of corners and probably even in them could make it feel sluggish i imagine, but if its still drivable enough It would be cool to see either way
@@BigMan7o0 I'm not sure the lag would be that terrible considering it's two smaller turbos rather than a single massive one. But at the end of the day he wants a Viper with monster power so I don't blame him!
Love how he says only $28,000 month , you went from one plain corvette with a crazy wrap to multiple cars , 2 or 3 McLaren, is this your 2 nd or 3rd zr1, love the content, but be a little humble, you destroy some vehicles worth more then people’s houses.
Solid point but the vehicle he destroyed i am sure with the views from that content, he made back the MSRP from that TRX, have to remember now though he basically spends more than what he now earns from videos such as this, and this video was a response to persons saying he makes bag on videos, i am sure he makes bag on some giveaways like the c8 giveaway, i think the f450 maybe is not so hot interms of the merch sales though
God forbid someone in a V6 who probably can’t afford a V8 be into doing shit to his car. Just let him do him and have fun, it’s his car. Wtf happened to “we all gotta start somewhere?”
@@jakegrissom1572 i don’t even think it’s that, Mike’s not the only one so i can’t just talk shit on him and blame him. It’s most everybody who owns anything like a 5.0 or better
You should start doing sponsorships if you aren’t against them. Just be picky and choose company’s you actually like. I don’t think people will have a negative reaction to it, especially if it helps content. Good video bro
I NEED THE RED STREET SPEED SHIRT !!!! Going to have to buy one ASAP !!! DO THE TWIN TURBO !! CALVO IS THE BOMB !!!!! They have like 3,000HP VIPER'S !!
Saying that the channel doesn’t make any money but it directly offsets $30,000 a month of expenses for you do so what you for a living. If someone paid me $30,000 a month the help me out enjoying my hobbies that would make a significant difference to my finances. Just because the money earned isn’t profit doesn’t mean it doesn’t drastically help you be able to own several hundred thousand in vehicles. Just helping you break even and not profit is still a technically a massive massive gain. Not to mention the hundreds of people that buy the merch every month. Don’t get me wrong. I appreciate you sharing your cool vehicles with the world and also being pretty damn laid back about everything.
If he just tries pumping out more videos and they aren't watched as much his analytics will drop and RU-vid's algorithm will not advertise his channel as much.
