Casey Putsch , Is there a chance you have the time for a phone or email conversation regarding education going into the performance auto industry? I’m having doubts that my major will effectively transition me into a related career.
@@CaseyPutsch But have you ever dropped Ohio sushi in a Viper? Oh SNAP, now I am imagining a whole new quantifiable measure to a cars acceleration. A line of Dragon rolls incrementally closer to the windshield, and from a rolling start...how many rolls fall on the floor. The Viper would be atleast a 4 roll car.
To this day ever since they came out when i was a kid I wanted a viper or a diablo. Didn't care if the viper had waaay too much torque for the weight and would fishtail out at the slightest overrev. That body design is just so badass.
As a kid I remember the viper coming out. My first model car was a Viper. I remember taking it to daycare as like a 6 or 7 yr old. Then the show came out, which is so bad it's awesome. Then they made it to 500 hp in early 2000s. Yeah. I still want one. Wife says car seats don't fit.....
The viper has always been my childhood dream... in encountering the chance to drive one, I realized as I looked up from the snug seat of a gen 4 convertible that my eyes were dead even with the top bezel of the windshield and that perhaps I needed to try and remember if there might be any slightly larger fit & finish dream cars from my childhood I’d forgotten about that might work a little better ergonomically 😂 to this day, the answer remains no. This was always the pinnacle, just as my head would be from side-view if ever I pilot one.
To me Vipers were great examples of a GT car, it's exotic but it also is reliable enough and fun to take on a trip (if you're not particular about adding miles, I'm not, cars are made to be driven). I also like the mentality Sean has of preferring to have a salvage car that he built that he doesn't have to feel as bad about damaging, changing around, etc. The car I have right now that I've been building is an RX8 with a turbocharged 3l Ford/Yamaha SHO V6. It's clean title but I bought the car as a roller with no motor/trans, grabbed a SHO and refreshed it, threw a turbo and MegaSquirt on it with a 5 speed manual and it's putting out 450hp to the wheels. I opted for a V6 over an inline 6 or V8 to avoid steering rack issues, I had other options but I love the high rev'ing sound of the SHO engine, it's hard to beat.
Don't look at it as the guy who could scratch or damage a Viper, look at it as the guy who put a Viper back on the road!! I've never built or owned anything expensive, but I've pulled countless cars out of the woods and Fields and put them back on the road. Vehicles were built to be driven. In my opinion they're useless at showpieces unless they are extremely rare pieces. Thank you for getting it out of the garage, and thank you to the daughter for letting it live its life as it should be!!
Definitely the best Bikes & Beards video. Hope he has more stories this good! A Viper is a perfect automobile comparison to motorcycles in a lot of senses in my opinion.
Considering the fact that the Viper got discontinued, keeping on to a Viper will be a good exotic to own...this beast will go up in value in a couple of years
My best friend had one for a few years and when I drove it, it was a total circus, people waving, thumbs up, trying to get pictures ,etc. All while this thing was heavily modded and an absolute beast to drive with a ridiculously strong clutch spring and super grabby brakes. Still, I loved it and it remains one of the used classics I'm dreaming of to replace my MKIV Supra when I sell it.
Amen. Owned and sold 3 Srt4’s in my life so far, last one had 28k original miles on it when I bought it for 3k. Thing was absolutely mint. Bought it from the sweetest little old couple in Massachusetts, it was their sons and he had passed and it was a sore reminder for them seeing it in the garage all the time. They made me swear up and down that I was going to do the right thing with it, I guess it’s just something about those little cars that click with certain people. 🤔
Nate King yeah man. I just bought my 3rd one with 87k miles a few weeks ago. I’ve had like 14 neons all in all. Something about them is just fun to work on and they feel right.
Jerry Rigged I feel you, just fun little cars, easy to maintain. I’ve always highly recommended them to people who want something with a little bit of power, that’s also reliable.
I just bought a 1999 RT/10 two days ago, and I got a great deal, mostly because the seller and I basically became friends in the first few minutes. Building a rapport and making the seller like you is EVERYTHING
Too nice for me, that's my story on the 87 911 I sold. It was a great car and was in great shape and became more valuable than a person like me should own. I started driving it everywhere and then came to the realization that its difficult to insure and drive a classic car 10 or 15 k miles every year if you start thinking about what happens if someone hits you and destroys it. Anyway, if you like to drive cars, they cannot be very nice classic cars without it being a huge risk financially. Now I only drive disposable cars.
I'm trying really hard right now to get into a position where I can buy a Viper. It's also my dream car, coming out very shortly after I was born. I love the looks so much. Definitely want a GTS.
The last part of your video spoke to me. I bought a 2018 Dodge Challenger scat pack for $25000. It had an R title, but it is absolutely beautiful, in would never know it was in a small Fender Bender.
Ah, the curse of owning a perfect car! Well said, that is so true. It can be so stressful that it takes all the joy out of ownership, then they wind up just sitting sadly in an air-conditioned garage. Get something you want to drive!
I spent a lot of time back in the day with the Vipers as they were the defacto cars for Skip Barber Racing. The GTS was far better than the RT10 but still yet, you could easily wrap yourself around a pole in one of these if you werent very careful. No ABS, no traction control, no stability control, it was all up to you to modulate. Great for instructing but terrible for the typical "Hey yall, watch this..."
I almost bought a viper before I got my Gtr, until I seen home much a replacement hood and headlights cost. My luck I would drive into hail the first week I owned it and would have to pay that unbelievable amount for a hood
When I was selling off the majority of my fathers car collect after he passed I enjoyed nothing more than telling people to fuck off when they offered 40% less than I was asking. It really was a great time, I'd then sell the car for asking or 5-10% less having planned on some shrewd negotiations with my asking price.
I once paid $2000 for a Subaru Outback with 40,000 miles then when it hit 270,000 miles I put what felt like $10,000 when really it was more like $6,000 worth of work into it
I clicked on this because it’s about a VIPER. Love’m or hate’m matters not to me. VIPERS ROCK (in my opinion). Yes I’m bias. Why you wonder simple. I have a GEN IV that is just awsome! Nice video. Thanks for sharing it.
What was the name of the daughter who sold the car? I may have gone to college with her. She said her dad ran one of the Viper clubs up in NH...of course this was 20 years ago.

My trailer is the same way wood and the dovetail is diamond plate steel super slippery. The viper definitely has the wow factor but I'd rather own a vette or something similar
Kudos for not wanting to abuse a clean car. A lot of people would just drive it like they stole it and trash it, ruining one of the few remaining clean examples.
If you ride, you should check out this guy’s videos for SRK Cycles, plus Bikes & Beards (which they showed briefly in this video). Bike reviews and a bunch of other great videos. Highly recommend!
From the guy who was a fart in the wind as a Viper owner. All talk and no real Viper game. These guys are a dime a dozen that buy these cars for two seconds, act like they love them and have passion for them and then instantly sell them! What a joke!
Tomorrow Rob Pitts is back!
Cool! You read my mind!
That guy is awesome.
Ask Pitts to get drunk on beer & then tell me a lola tale 😋
The Rabbit is back!?
Love me some Rabbit stories
Awesome that my story inspired you to buy a Viper! I'm honored.
Casey, you just have a good influence on people it seems.
I bought mine from your stories as well.
@@tannerstift1489 i did also though i was between a 996 turbo or a viper. Went with viper
@@davidmopar8446 and i bet you guys both are not disappointed, have fun with the new cars
@casey putsch you made me buy mine as well I bought a copperhead earlier this year because of your video!
The Viper remains a bucket list car for me. I will have to find one and make the seats work at some point.
What gen? I always loved the ACR
Gen IV ACR should fit you. Adjustable pedals and all that. Very deep footwell. I’m 6’ tall and have tons of room.
We need to get Westin Champlain on the show
Watch the movie Commando to learn how to make a seat work in a small car when you are a tall guy 😉
Hey Ed they make 1 & 2 inch seat lowering kits for about $400. I’ve heard many tall Viper owners recommend them.
Dodge Viper is mentioned

@@purduediesel11 I loved how awful the show was but it was great cause it was a viper. Haha
Interesting factoid: 8% of Vipers never made it home from the showroom. Source: Dodge dealership when I worked there.
You mean 8% had an accident on the way home? Wooow
Wow
I'd buy that for a dollar
400 plus hp with no traction/stability control, what could go wrong?
Woah
SRKcyckes on VINwiki? Love it. Hope he sticks around for some great motorcycle stories
That’s be awesome
We need more motorcycle stories for 👍
Who would've thought, Shia LaBeaouf is driving a Viper
Sean's cool check his yt out
I actually did see the resemblance too. I kept thinking “this is like a put together version of Shia LaBeaouf”.
I was expecting Casey, but I'm not disappointed 😁
:)
Same here. But Sean is a great guy too.
Too bad he sold the car though.
Tobias Gurning same
For a minute I thought Sean was going to drive it back in the snow! Because you know he might.
Definitely Sean’s style 😂
Vette? No bueno
Viper? Mucho gusto
And at age 45, my high school spanish finally pays off.

They make seat lowering kits for them. You've got quite a few guys 6'2" or even 6'4" driving vipers
I bought a supercharged 04 Viper last summer and it's amazing.
So happy to see yet another collaboration with a fellow TH-camr. Keep up the great work
