100%, buddy!!

they did, in the past, they made a video on cars that look boring but are actually pretty fun.

Smart forfour (first gen). Only weighs 2000 pounds, very fun engines, the stock suspension is very stiff/sporty, and it has electric power steering which feels extremely responsive and accurate. 10/10 would drive again.

I had.a ford escort wagon 5 speed manual and that thing.was quick as hell... It had a mazda engine in it... It was like driving a go kart.

They already did

No literally. Imagine you can jus call Pagani 😂

Respect for Pagani for sure!

"Hey, is that Horacio?"

I like hitlers idea for 1 car design that fcking works right and doesnt have bullshit learning games built into it

I would break down in frantic crying seeing that thing in real life. Just WOW

One of our friends had a Viper on a small Micronesian island in the early-to-mid-90s. It was strange encountering it picking its way slowly over a very rocky, rutted dirt road once - I was surprised that it made its way in and out. The taxis used to charge double for driving up that road.

😎 why everyone called the Viper a Beast of all cars, besides cobra 😅

Can't see the forest for the trees sometimes but I think that last car will definitely hold it's value or perhaps even increase with time... because they are hand made those Pagani's I think they're literal rolling works of art. Nail on the head though, a be careful what ya wish for thing or somethin' :)

If you think logic and intelligent argument will stop me from wanting these you got another thing coming

I don’t know, sometimes it’s worth it if you can afford it. That’s why they are called dream cars, not reliable cost effective cars.

I think that’s fair Kenny. It’s more a good warning that if you can just barely afford the dream car (then or now used), don’t do it. Make sure you can also afford the aggravation and maintenance.

I owned a viper from 1999 until 2007. I was third owner. I loved that car, wish I hadn't sold it. My car before that was a 1967 mustang and after I sold viper, I got a 1964 mercury with a back window that goes up and down. It's still my daily driver. Lol. The viper was most comfortable car I owned

When he said Pagani, he meant not a family member, but the actual Horacio Pagani. Thats why he said "his son" insured them

Rubber... WHAT NOW?

plus he wrecked then have the car rebuilt twice, and sold it for $12.2mil

I think the determination of the McLaren F1 is innacurate. Even with all the costs involved the appreciation value was there. You could own one from the start, drive it and maintain it all its life and still sell it for a profit.

Makes sense if a lot of the maintenance intervals are time based rather than mileage based.

Think it was regular car reviews

probably Freddy Tavarish

Common in every comment grab-bag.

That's because it is. They named it viper....nuff said 😂

I watched a period review of the second gen viper, and they showed it on track looking slidey and snappy, and said it was a way more forgiving car than the first gen lol.

Justin just seems a really honest person to me for some reason

Justin is the most boring donut host ever. He’s not entertaining to watch at all he’s quiet and just stares at the camera he looks super awkward and when he does talk I feel like I want to go to sleep .

Yeah, dude seems so chill. The type of guy you’d love to have a beer with

Went to high school with him, can confirm he’s a chill dude. He has an identical twin named James if I’m remembering correctly

Yeah, plus he also represents black and darker people (colored people?). Ethinc diverse... Please dont ban me.

I'm absolutely jealous. That's my dream car. Good for you sir. Glad you had fun. Did you get another sports car after the Viper?

@@coreyaldridge1753 currently just bikes, an old truck, and the viper.

What would you say are pros and cons of your viper?

80k for it right now and I’ll pay to ship it. If it has less than 15k miles I’ll go 110k, hmu

I'd love to see them try and put a kit car together.

That would be amazing! A Cobra kit car, donut style!

Hi low kit car series would be dope

agreed

ooooh, the Factory Five Type 65 Coupe-R!!!! With a Coyote...

Does your town have a donut tax that rich people are allowed to do donuts wherever they want??

I have a similar story from my hometown. A former classmate inherited a huge amount of money from an uncle who he barely knew, and had no idea how wealthy the uncle was. He immediately went out and bought the most expensive version of the Chevy Corvette for that year. I believe it was early 1980’s. He managed to drive it off the road into a very deep and nasty drainage ditch, around 8-10 feet deep with 6 feet of stinking swamp water in it. He had the car for about 3 days, took possession on Wednesday and crashed it on Friday night. What a fecking idiot.

Here in Calabasas California. However, I own an apartment in Madrid Spain...and a very specific and special U.S spec 92 Dodge Viper (SR I) that I keep there. Same and only car used in the 99 film The Ninth Gate with J.Depp. Purchased it in 01 in France as the car was stuck in port due to paperwork issues and held indefinitely. I work in film and television and reached out to and ended up buying the car and having it basically transferred to me and backing it out of customs to purchase. I ended up just paying off a "negotiated" minimal storage fees on behalf and the production company sold it to me for that and gave me title. Great car (8,600 mi) no real issues. Yes, exhaust pipe bad location. No biggie. Overheating; fixed. For years every time I would go back and forth between the States I was bringing in all kinds of duplicate spares; oil filters, all filters, gaskets, switches, hoses, pulleys, thermostats, bulbs, headlights, suspension rods, brake pads, rotors, engine and clutch parts, etc. Best car ever. Recently did a detail with clay bar and a full clear wrap. Other than thermostat and correctable electrical issues the car is bombproof. It gets a fluid change once a year, new battery every 3 years, a battery tender hooked up and a doorman who starts it up twice a week now going on 22 years. No leaks. Solid car. It, to this day whenever I am there (twice a year minimum minus covid as was there 11 months) the car is a huge hit. Like a monster hit. Fun fact. In 2016 I bumped into Johnny Depp here in L.A at a thing and I tried talking to him and told him how I ended up with that car. He had no idea what I was talking about. Like literally no idea what I was talking about until a buddy of his had to remind him later. Then again all he did was sit in the passenger seat in that scene. I have worked with and met many actors and this was the one time that I felt stupid for opening my mouth. My then fourth ex-wife kept pushing me to break the ice and talk to him and tell him about the car even though I did not want to. Even though he was real kind about it and tried to pretend like he knew what it was; after the fact. The nice thing was that his buddy kind of leaned into me afterwards and said," it's okay, he kinda gets it; he's just NOT a car guy." And then LATER he said, " Oh, the red targa with Emmanuel. Yes, yes"!

you lucky dog you

A few years ago I saw one that had hopped a curb and was stuck on a boulevard. So clearly they still are a handful for their old owners to drive

jesus

@@spedracer55 take the wheel

Maybe he did it for that very thrill?

*o u c h i e s* My consent and best wishes goes to that man.

Toyota actually has a huge issue with this on their wiring harnesses. Common to see a Toyota base come into a shop with wiring harness issues from rodents. I don't know specifics of what these harnesses were made out of, but I always chalked it up to "rat friendly food."

They are made out of corn derived plastics. Rats love them.

​@@calebboatsman7856 that's true my friend has a tacoma and his has a 2 year old 4runner both had to have new wiring harness replaced in 2 years because of rodents eating them.

No they reverted thank god. Rats will chew anything

The model of ford fusions like the 2007 had this issue. My dad hat one that was his daily driver. He kept it in a clean mostly empty garage and a small animal got to the wires over night. When he towed it to the ford dealership your explanation was the exact story the mechanic gave him. He said that they see it a lot because rodents were drawn to the wires insulation and liked to eat it.

I can no longer pronounce it correctly. They are all Lamborghine Ma Shines now.

Do you really though?

Do you really though?

​@@HeyAddieImTojo nope

Do you really though?

They aren't practical and don't make good dailies I mean that kind of goes without saying and alot of car at that time didn't have traction control. This was a real drivers car. It's basically a race car with license plates and drives as such. Cool for nice day or and weekend drives and stuff but not that practical for a daily.

​@@midnight347 i think it's fine daily if not making stupid mistakes like flooring the gas and braking pedals agressively

I suppose they overpriced the individual services to sell the package deal.

@@jayathranps1319 It should be mentioned that if anything major that needs to be done to the car comes up during this service, the total bill quickly grows to much more than 100k. It's also worth mentioning that this price doesn't stay fixed and does increase over time, obviously. Lots of pricing info on the service of Bugattis is already outdated, because the owners don't talk about it that much and Bugatti themselves are obviously not very forthcoming about it either.

But also remember that 14 months tune up is probably based on an insanely low mileage estimate. I'd be shocked if it was even 10k mi a year. If you look up used supercars you can easily find 20 year old supercars with less than 5k miles.

@@whereforartthou Way way way less miles than 10k or even 5k a year. I bought a 2015 Vette in 2019 and it only had 5k miles on it and that was considered "normal". Super car owners do a calculation called "$ of depreciation / mile". In some cars it can be $3-$5k per mile so they rather keep them off the road and let them appreciate faster than any stock they own. That is why the crazy $7.4 mil Pagani sold out, all those hyper special models do, exactly for that reason. They raise in value faster than stocks.

The newer ones were better

First gen Viper is firmly in the realm of "nightmare as a daily, but if it's just a sunny weekend toy it's a joy." It was basically designed as a track car that you didn't need to trailer between tracks.

@@bluemonday2000 its that nostalgia of the first gens though as a kid brought up in the 90s. Especially the GTS, blue with white stripes, and that wing....mmm sexy.

@@coolbreezelb5023 THAT Exact car/paint (99') is my dream car. I know they're not million dollar Paganis, but I don't want a Pagani or McLaren. Gimme that Shelby Blue and white Viper any day. But with Brembos lol

@@shuruff904 hell yea! What color brembos?

And the wing does absolutely nothing except add weight and drag!

@rocketsurgeon11 exactly,and honestly just looks stupid IMO,I personally would remove it

@@frodosfrostbite my 10 year old self screams NO!! But my mature me with my knowledge of it and the design of the car...yeah, I'd probably take it off, too.

@rocketsurgeon11 I was the same way until I found out it was actually just a dealer aftermarket option lol its literally factory rice

That whole era of those DTM cars were amazing! The 190E is perfection

Same here, no issues, six years of ownership. '98 GTS

Given the engine is based on a design for a truck, it makes sense that they're reliable, after the 1st gen problems were addressed

99 GTS. Owned it 9 years. Had an o ring on the AC line crack. 20 cent part.

​@@CptLang97 yea they're low revving huge displacement pushrod v10 I can see why it would be reliable. The gen 2 looks more practical than the gen 1. They aren't practical daily drivers for most that is for sure. Kind of goes without saying.

I put 100k miles on a Gen1 ('94). Crossover tube gasket coolant leak was the only issue. Everything else was scheduled maintenance and normal wear items. Had the OE clutch when I sold it.

@@Mr.beansholiday I think a Caterham 7 or a Factory 5 Cobra replica would be more in the style of the Donut team personally. For a starting point, they could use a K20 for the Caterham or a Shelby GT350 Mustang engine for the Cobra, then if things work out and the series is popular/successful, they could do a "part 2" series where they either upgrade the K20 and turn the Caterham into a serious track weapon or give the GT350 engine the Roush Performance treatment and make the Cobra a serious street bruiser.

Vipers in the wild are known to bite....

Wholeheartedly agreed

They can't. Every car looks like a crossover blob today for a reason.

This vid was trash dude. Probably took half hour or research and work for one intern.

Amen

That is true but lamborghini was involved with the engine. They were given the job of making the cylinder heads from aluminium

@@thomashayhurst6547 The only thing Lamborghini did was the production of the aluminum block and heads. The iron block and head V10 design was already in existence and production used by Chrysler in heavy duty trucks. In other words, the engine already existed, they just tasked Lamborghini with the production of the aluminum version of those parts since they had the production facilities to do so. This was an engine that was already producing close to 360 HP in the iron block, and was retuned to 420 HP in the aluminum block via the use of forge internals, intake plenum and higher compression. If you put the head of a Chrysler LA V8 next to a SR1 Viper head they look nearly identical, aside from one being cast iron and the other being aluminum and having 1 extra combustion chamber. Even the combustion chambers are the same design. The ports are the same design, the rocker assemblies are the same design, they basically the same head. If you took a LA V8 block and a SR1 Viper block and put them side by side they look extremely similar, because the Viper block is essentially an LA block with 2 extra cylinders but made out of aluminum. They did increase bore and stroke to get to 8.0 liters of displacement.

@@riccochet704 Negative, nice try though.

I recall reading that they were truck engines stuffed into them.

@@giovanni4304 positive, but nice try. if you're not going to disprove him then don't type dipshit.

I wonder what the average lifespan of a rentable Viper is lol.

Im surprised its even allowed to be rented

Someone once mentioned in another video that the ergonomics of the Countach work much better if you drive like an Italian e.g. with your arms resting on your thighs and your hands on the *bottom* of the wheel. But they did admit that everything else is accurate especially the clutch pedal which is apparently set in concrete (did Lambo borrow one of their tractor clutches to make sure it could handle the motor?)

Facts 😂

Still love it though. We're all just 10 year old kids with paychecks now

Its like a Corvette, only the budget for the engine is doubled and the budget for the interior is halved.

Those kinds of cars aren't about interior especially in the 90s I mean what makes viper great is it looks sound and performance. You don't get a car like this for the interior I don't understand people dissing on them because of interior it's like the bare bones nature is part of the vipers charm. This car isn't about that and if fancy interior is more important to you than amazing looks and performance than this isn't the car for you.

@@midnight347 The Interior is part of the driving experience. Most of the driving is done at slower speeds anyway. I'm not going to be beating the crap out of it constantly.
