.....you need to be awake to survive driving this...

As a gen3 viper owner (with only 500hp) I can agree with this statement. The gen5 like the one in this video has an additional 140hp, and I know from experience that you can feel every single one of those ponies.

Well I must be nuts🤣

This guy doesn't have the skills. You wanna see someone push the Viper on a canyon road, go watch the smoking tire's review on the Viper TA.

Same story,in love since 96 as a child,meet my hero later on and purchased it........its like a glove,perfect car for me and now on my third one.spooled down about 78k miles on them on my own and it never gets boring 😆💪

Yep , this dude is clueless

I’m 6’2” 220 and sat in one recently and didn’t fit at all. I think there was almost enough room for my head but it didn’t matter because the top of the windshield was so much lower so I couldn’t see out of it at all. Had to hunch over a lot and lean the seat back more than I’d like to drive it. But they do make a kit to lower the seat 2-2.5” which I think would be enough for me. A bucket seat should improve that even more.

@@Mike-qq8iy I drove in the SRT if that makes a difference and I am 198 lean to bear in mind. But yeah I’m unsure how the difference would be so drastic over an inch apart from our torso/leg length differences. Anyone over 6 foot defo needs to try before you buy I guess 💀

The wing was also 1776 millimeters if I remember right, and it also created so much downforce you couldn't put it on an open trailer or else it would pick the front of the trailer/back of the truck up on the interstate

He's just regurgitating a bunch of BS other auto journalists who suck at driving have said about the Viper.

Nah you would fit fine, just get a gen 3 convertible you will LOVE it. Im 6ft 230 and I have to scoot the seat up to reach full clutch. Plenty of room

240 holy shit dude

​@tabryis he's 6 foot 4 inches. What do you mean holy shit?

This happened to the 05/06 Ford GT too, prices dropped to $115k, on a 140/150k car. Now its a car worth north of 300k.

Use custom seat*

@@r129r16pfl possible but idk for sure. I have a long torso so cars like the f430 and 458 worked well for me because they allow me to slouch down for extra room. Problem with the viper is if I slouch down or get a lower seat then my knees end up against the side of the door and the console. That’s why I can’t really drive Lamborghinis. I rented a gallardo performante and couldn’t use the left turn signal because of my knees lol

You would think dodge of all brands would make a car that fits good ol' boys.

@@oskarskates that's what the challenger and chargers are for.

@@milli2385 they sell seat brackets to lower the viper seats very common mod in the viper world!

Calvo is up to 3000 hp now. Absolute insanity. I have a 2000 viper with a built motor and supercharger pushing it to just under 1000 hp and 1000 tq. It is terrifying 😂

Theres another 9.0L track build. He has even more power than the Sneaky viper.

R8 is also boosted

Look at the difference in torque numbers though.

the gen 5 had more carbon then you think.

You cant have it all, torque or high rpm not both

if your 5'9 you can fit in a miata, if you can fit in a miata you can fit in a viper lol.

@@carsonj4031 go sit in one. Then, you’ll understand.

@@carsonj4031 lol

Sure… I’m 6’3” and I fit in a Viper.

😂

Bro what

Found the teenager

@@joogullae3456 search up infiniti g37 tuned twin turbo all wheel drive

@@davidpineda645 yes I know what you're talking about I love nissans but you got hella vipers easily going 2000hp twin turbo. Just different platforms you can appdexiate them both

to each their own. i think the viper motor sounds better than any other American engine

The Viper is amazing

It's a very unique car; this vid is about the car, not someones personal take if it's the "best" Get over yourself

It has a restructured truck engine, that's why they sound like doggy doo.

​@@johnmitchell2269it actually isn't. A common thought that is passed around but is not true.
