This thing is absurd in the best way possible. What a treat to see it out, doing what you built it to do. It's rewarding to watch, so I can't imagine how good those jumps felt in person. Keep it up, I can't wait to see the landspeed car out there breaking a record next.
Hi stanceworks
I'd like to see the Viper go for a land speed record in the absurd class.
Offroad Ferrari When? Haha
Take it for a drive!!
Thanks, Mike!
90's Dodge interior failing before mechanical components: Good Enough
very much so 😂
Essentially most 90s cars. I've never seen a toyota or honda from the 90s that has power windows that all work.
30 years later: 2020s dodge interior failing before mechanical components. Good Enough
Dodge owner grindset
@@rubiconnn I drive a 1990 Sera. Windows work.
Imagine transforming your car to this degree and never looking into how to take off the hardtop. Love this guy
I'm surprised the sawzall didn't come out for it
@@the21andonly he should make a new roof panel out of fiberglass
I’d make him one out of fabric if he wanted, like a snap on convertable top
Priorities
I think its a good thing he didn't take off the hardtop, the only thing worse than _not_ having a convertible convertible is having sand in the interior. Its coarse, and its rough, and it gets _everywhere._
The officer that pulled him up:
"Do u know why i stopped u?"
"No, sir"
"Sick car bruh"
Good Enough
Been there. Used to get 'randomly selected' for search on my way to work on base all the time 'till I got to know the guards and found they were just wanting to fan boi under the hood.
- Building an off-road Viper: crazy human
- Building it on jack stands: super human
“I fixed this by mashing down on the throttle” is by far the best solution for the viper in any off-road encounter
From the Clarkson school of vehicle control. SPEED and POWER!
Also onroad.
"so i started blasting"
'when in doubt flat out'
There's a saying with dirt bikes: When in doubt, open the throttle. If it doesn't solve the problem it will at least end the suspense.
I will be honest, when you announced this project I did not expect the viper to ever drive, let alone go offroad. I was proven wrong and I am glad I was!
Same here! This is the most complete project I've ever seen on this channel. I love it in its absurdity.
I knew it would work. With enough engineering, even a Koenigsegg Regera could go off road and do well. I think its just that the Viper is almost as ideal as you can get for a robust supercar to be converted into a rally car, its already prepared largely for having its underpinnings replaced with rally capable components, it just unfortunately doesn't have enough space to add a transfer case or a front differential, but that just means Baja Claws :P
@@Avetho oh I didn't question that the viper could go offroad but that Matt would actually finish a project as ambitious as this xD
@@casualpequod6054 Well, see, that doubt is far more reasonable, I was starting to think he got distracted by something else XD
Comes in at a strong 2nd to the best thing you've made competition. After the ham sandwich ofc.
how does the ham sandwich inside of his land speed car stabiliser compare?
@@Sonofthestig01 Have you ever had a SuperfastMatt ham sandwich? Then you wouldnt understand.....
The ham sandwich in resin episode gave me the most laughs out of all his episodes.
Spent years hearing a man that says "I don't have the money for it" compared to my 25 years of sim racing without the money to get a racing license do, build and drive some of the most incredible things I've dreamed of and I still can't be happier for him. Living the best life, Matt. Enjoy it, you're earning it 😊 🤙
I'm in my 40s..to this day if i see a viper i turn my head. They still have a special place for us that grew up when they came out. Gorgeous cars even now.
40 years old...same.
"I fixed it by mashing the throttle"
Perfect solution and I love it
Damn. Seeing that Viper jump was beautiful enough to get a grown man to cry.
I'm storked to finally seeing her get dirty woo hoo. Good job my friend. Fantastic first off-road test!
Stiffen up compression all 4 corners, you can get away w/12-15psi. Youve got it over tire, a lil shroter and skinner will make a huge different you will not regret.
Your build reminds me of a '73' pinto I raised up about 3" wide street tires and the rest stock. Great memorys in the AZ. desert.
Enjoy my friend!
I'm 67yrs now and pinto was only one year old when lifted it lol yes been off-roading all my life.
I love "let's figure out how to put a cabin air filter into this" after it's already been filled with dust. Never change, Matt.
I was eating that moment. Bad idea.
It was landing jumps and hitting bumps with composure. Nothing even really broke. I'm impressed. Good job Matt.
Ahh yes very clever to highlight the Viper series off road scene prop, because I have done my homework on the Viper show's making lol, and recently watched a show about how they made the series and used look- alike props for the show's offroad scenes, because the Viper was too expensive to use like that lol. I immediately seen the resemblance, which is epic btw because that prop looked sooo good lol. I waited years to see a real life off road Viper!
Great video!
I really love your humor and sarcasm. I had a buddy in the 70's who got similar gas mileage, but it was 4.2 GPM, and only in a straight line. Keep entertaining.
2:38 but I DO care about this! 😭
who?
Buuuuut no body cares about this so let's go offroad.
Same. If more people are supposed to be doing it we need to know!
I just finished building an off road Mercedes 500SL roadster for the Gambler 500. It's absurd in the best way. Highly recommend.
GREAT...please show!
I need to see it please 🥺
@@jpkatz1435 I'll put something up on my channel soon.
yeah sure you did
about 25 years ago my parents bought me and my brother RC trucks, the ones from Traxxas, the real ones. my brother bought a standard truck shell that he easily painted and trimmed to look natural. I, instead, bought a viper shell made for a road car because it was my favorite car. by the time it was fitted to the truck without rubbing i had trimmed off almost as much as you've removed for your real one. thanks for making a silly childhood fantasy of mine into real life
1:22 As excited I was to see this random cool build show up on youtube It was like someone through a bucket of water on the fire when roof top tent was mentioned
A few days ago Sampson Boat Co released a video of Tally Ho sailing for the first time.
Now you release a video of your Viper off-roading for the first time.
Coincidence? I think not.
Man, what a time to be alive.
Oh man, are the stars aligning... Heading right over to the Project Biny channel...
Well shit, now I have a new channel to follow.
@@NotSean269 I haven't checked in on Binky in a few years...if this is the week that it finally (runs, races, what?) it'll be nerdvana.
@@cycle61 @notsean269 I would not put money on Binky being sorted right now… but I’d love to be wrong!
another person here with the same crossover!
When you asked us subscribers what the next project should be I thought the offroad viper was a joke. Here you are now, and I am very glad you are. Bless the algorithm!
i'm still a bit emotionally attached to that wheel of smart cars
Sitting here with my Viper TV show box set just super happy that someone else remembers it.
The off road mode in that show started my lifelong obsession with lifted off road sports cars.
Just absolute poetry in motion. I love the post-subscribe scene showing how bent those steering mounts were. 14/10 no notes.
man's lucky to be alive
Loved the 'Certified good enough' sticker flapping, hanging on for dear life. Cracked me up 😂
I LOVE WHEN PPL DO SPORTCARS OFFROAD
THAT'S MY FAVORITE TUNING/MODIFICATION THING
A cabin air filter i highly reccomend, not just cause or the dust but if youre running the AC the dust sticks and builds up to the evaporatoe core and will eventually limit the airflow through the vents to nothing.
This will probably mean nothing from an anonymous person on the internet but I am legit proud of you lol. This is amazing.
I dont think parasocial relationships work both ways but if they do then i'm disappointed in us.
Honestly, better mileage than I was expecting!
Seriously? 4.2 MPG is abysmal, the only way to make it worse would be to tow a boat!
Fun fact. A fully loaded 80.000 pounds 18 wheeler averaged 5-8 MPG.
So, for a little car that "only" 4.2 MPG is an achievement. LMAO.
For European people 4.2 US MPG is 56 L/100km
@@KarrasBastominot just Europeans. Nearly everyone else in the world. We use l/100km in Canada as well
@@KarrasBastomi Honestly I expected 100l/100km so about 2.35 mpg.
@@lptomtomwell I mean it was probably going close to redline for the entire duration of the trials. My car gets close to that MPG when it does that too even though it's in very short bursts (it's a normal sedan)
After following the project for so long, it's incredibly cool to see this thing finally tearing up the desert. You've done what all of our inner childs whished we could do and built a proper, real-life, reason-be-damned Hot Wheels car. I half-expected to see flames shooting out of those side-pipes every time you accelerated (that would be a pretty cool addition actually). Looking forward to seeing more of it.
For the steering, I wonder if it might help to build some give into the linkage somewhere. Maybe a cup & pin arrangement with a stack of Belleville washers in the tie rods. Not enough to let the wheels flop around, but just to take a little edge off of the hard hits. Doesn't take much to improve on a completely rigid linkage.
“I am more fun than smart” is one of the best things I heard as of late. Great job dude!🤟
I think everyone's inner-child jumped up and down in their seats this say! We finally see the Viper offroad. Still one of the craziest ideas I have seen and I fully support it! You built the travel perfectly I was worried about the body. But, the bumpstops did their job and the shocks look to be valved and have the right pressure/oil. Really, great job on this Matt!
The perfect lunch break, and so nice to see this project finished. It's been a long way since the first videos but we're finally here :)
I had a dodge 3/4 ton 4x4 that only 4mpg. Built 383,manual shift 727 with a reversed shift valve body. That was back in the 80's and cheap fuel. Very cool build, way more than good enough, it's a viper.
When you hit the slow-mo jump with the camera under the car, I thought to myself, this part would be perfect if he edited in the Ferris Bueller Ferrari parking garage guys' jump.........and you didn't disappoint. Well done!
Your videos are seriously cool, keep 'em coming!
Love it, congratulations 🎉 Looks like one of those vehicles, where owning it is it's own reward. Those are the best kind.
This is engineering I can support. Great content, you're giving me positive vibes for my own future builds.
So amazing to see this thing finally eating some dirt. shame it ate too much, but we're all hoping for a speedy recovery. this build turned out absolutely sick.
One of the craziest yet functional car conversions ever!
Matt, I thoroughly love the off-road viper. The speed runs on your custom built vehicle. However, what I love the most is your humor. It kills me every time.
I've been here far longer than I remember and I'm truly glad to see the Offroad Viper in action!!! AMAZING AND WILD is all I can say!!!
Clicked on the video because I love vipers and offroading (but how could they mix?). Love your pragmatic and forward thinking approach to all of this though. Once you got to the turn radius and the upright/arm you designed and how you needed to tweak them - and it simply is what it is, to be readdressed in the future.
So many possibilities, and so many constraints. What a rad project.
Man, ya did it! Minor prototype growth pains aside, definitely Good Enough. Thanks again for sharing. I jumped my '75 International Harvester Scout ii and bent 4 wheels, blew out the shocks, and broke the rear diff gears. Drove home on the front diff, slowly. I had forgotten about that. FYI, stock ford couriers don't jump well.
I don't think Ive ever clicked a video so fast
Same here!!
I love this car and this build. So happy to see it actually going off road!!
This is so damn cool. I'd always thought an off road Lamborghini would be sweet but this is just as good.
For about 2.5 months in early 2016 I began building a 4wd and 4ws pedal kart I had been buying parts for for several years. The design was very very unique. I basically finished the frame so the next step was the drive train. I was looking at possibly $800 in machining splines. Then the Lyme I had been treating in 2015 began to return and I was too sick to work on it. Lyme treatments were making my health go wildly up and down. August 2022 I dismantled the steel frame I made it out of which was mostly 1” square tube perforated steel. I’d love to gather aluminum tube to rebuild the frame but I want to pay off my $9,000 in credit cards.
Im impressed. Keep this alive. Id probably do further cooling system upgrades and also looks like it could use another couple inches of travel. Prerunner viper...sand viper.
I feel like the rear control arms could be longer. And maybe using a boat bilge blower with cheap cone filter could help you out with some air flow without all the sand and overheating the engine. Still pretty cool. Works really good
I stopped everything I was doing at work to watch this, I was looking forward to this day 😭
Imagine seeing a PLANE racing an Off-road Dodge Viper on your morning hike😭💀
The dust coming out of the vents had me laughing. Well, they werent leaves at least lol.
Also the kicking up dirt thing is really cool!
It drives so gooooood!
Edit: "enough"
Mad Max certified. Genius and madness once again find each others love. Both in "This car should not be offroading like this" sense, and the "Old-School Viper was not dangerous enough on its own" sense.
This is the glorious, bat-ish crazy content I needed today. I'm at a loss for words. Can't wait to see the repairs and modifications now that its been tested.
420 centi-miles per gallon. Nice!
The best part about build series is seeing the completed build in action. Thank you for doing that unlike so many other channels
What a beautiful machine. Love to see that realtime
After almost three decades in the automotive aftermarket in SoCal, things get old and lame, especially in Newport, but I was smiling all the way through this video 😊
This guy's narrating such a funny video in a documentary's way which makes it even funnier and funner. Cool project!
Saw you at the Petersen Automotive car show Sunday! Great ride, legendary TH-cam recomendation.
something about a off-road viper jumping dirt makes me smile
Lot of people talking about how it's crazy, but really this is just how cars are supposed to be
Reminds me a bit on the Monster Garage 'Slingray', a Dodge Stringray converted into an offroad mud truck.
This video fills me with joy! I once (1980) helped a friend make an off road 1967 Belvedere with a 440. This day would have killed it gloriously. Aloha
This is becoming one of my favorite TH-cam builds. Pretty car; funky idea. Love the showmanship on the channel. ❤
So glad to see the algorithm has been hailed enough to get where you are at now. Well deserved! Awesome build!
ABS or ASA would be ideal for that switch panel. It prints really nicely and would handle the heat.
So awesome to finally see this BEAST on the road / dirt!
It's not as I ever doubted your capabilities to get this thing together - but still I'm hugely impressed by how a stupid idea turned out to be such a great looking and working car.
The car looks great, your narration is fun to listen to, you're very correct about send cut send (and frankly many other companies doing this kind of stuff), and your steering arm brackets amuse me. I too play 3D Part Invaders and delve into the joys of "what snazzy way can I make this so it doesn't die and is actually an elegant, efficient solution." Your steering arms failed...expectedly, but yeah, it's certainly a game of "what force am I even designing for here?!?!" I'm sure it was good enough for a force value that was selected. My nature goes "I want to break the steering arm first, like double shear the bolt or bow the rod" well before the bracket goes. I'd like to make some suspension parts. Funny thing, I look at this kind of stuff and think, "how much force is actually put on this stuff?" And I'm always like 10,000-15,000 lbs? It's never a small number. And then they're running like 5/16" bolt through it (who am I kidding, it's probably metric), and I"m going "that's certainly not big enough."
dodge viper's have an insanely beautiful sounding engine. i wanna see more offroad vipers, because these are magnificent cars.
Award for best thumbnail that looks cgi/photoshopped but isn’t 🙌 legendary build. Love it
Extremely unique build! ive seen a red offroad miata in person at shedfest and this is like the next level
The rally scene hit my feeds from outta no where. All the sudden I’m seeing everyone getting into rally. Pretty cool build.
Poetry in motion....Slam poetry...very heavy handed slam poetry... love it
Long ago we did this thing called " off road" they call it " over land" now. We did this in a sedan known as the " peoples car" . We called it a " Baja bug". And then they gave us the " side by side". All you really need is a skid plate and a contact patch.
Watched it a couple days ago and I liked it. Came back here now to say thank you for changing the thumbnail to be subtly more like the real thing. All not hail the algorithm. In the long long run good creators and content will win. You are on of them ❤
so awesome. 90s kid here, the viper is a legend and deserves this mad max shit
Thats sick, i definitely want to see you fully build and finish it.
still more fuel efficient and better at off road then most suv's. amazingly awesome build dude!
Considerint that Matt actually made a dodge more dodge than dodge (I recall certain solid axle shenanigans), I am confident to announce that this is the most dodge thing to ever dodge in the world of dodge. I love this guy and wouldn't mind test driving his dodge
Ps. also that 4.2 mpg is something that can be fixed right? some bigger wheels and maybe some more throttle input and you can get it to a healthy, environmentally conscious 3,9, can you Matt?
3:27 "I kicked that up a notch"
Dude, you left me hanging for a clip of Elzar.... BAM!
I like the idea of the spare tyres and fuel can on the rear. Should definitely help giving you more drive wheel traction given that you have a massive V10 up front.
Great job on the video Matt! Thanks for making it.
this randomly popped up on my feed and i really enjoyed this video. i like how you are knowledgeable about everything and your cadence. i also like how you get the point in interesting ways. its kind of addicting. this was a well made, sharp video.
This is downright awesome, I love it!
I wish I had welding skills, sky would be the limit.
My next project doesn't compare at all to yours, but I'm wanting to get my hands on a Fiero GT & swap a supercharged GM3.8 in the back, common swap but they're absolute lightweight rocket monsters with that swap 🤘
This has nothing to do with Formula One....AND I LOVE IT. This project is amazing and absolutely unique. Congrats!
Matt is so casual in his narration but the filming and editing for this is so good. The drag race at the end was some Top Gear shite 🫡
Man I love this offroad viper
1:47 Seen the welds and sticker perfecto haha
0:02 yay! The conclu... Oh
WOOW! The Mad Max's Viper 😁😁
I'm loving the shenanigans! Oh, and I'd say the 4.2 mpg was more than good enough!
aluminum radiator + evans coolant (pressureless system) should help with keeping seals intact and coolant from boiling over
the secret to your success in videos besides doing certified good enough stuff is your realistic view of the average persons attentionspan, one just almost never get the urge to skip a few seconds.
Awesome video! Much better than many vlogs in yt
Yes. Everything yes. So glad it went well. No breakage just 8L of insanity
I feel like this is one of the Mattest things that has been Matted yet on this channel. Bravo! 🤘🤘
