@@Vazin Lamborghini didn't have the idea to stick an 8.4L pushrod engine in a sports car though. They may have tuned it but the concept is very American!
@@Vazin what’s does Lamborghini tweaking the “original” Gen1 Viper motor have to do with what this Gen 5 GT3 Viper did to this field of cars? This current Viper engine has nothing to do with Lamborghini. Cam in cam tech etc in the street cars engine is not Lamborghini tech much less this race bred engine. Anything to disparage is the name of the game these days.
@@Vazin lol no they didn't. What they did was show Dodge how to change it from an iron block to aluminum block design. The rest of development throughout the years was all Dodge.
quality video, mega car, mega drive, Id never been to spa before, and was really impressed with the field of cars in the dutch supercar challenge, your viper was almost 20 sec per lap quicker than my ford falcon !!!
Dude on the Volvo locking harder than a store owner at Detroit Locking harder than a medieval chastity belt Locking harder than grandMa Latoya knowing her nepew is out of jail
MiniOne82 I understand what you said, and that's not a proper excuse. He out braked himself because he was trying to run up the inside into the turn! He went in to deep and caused the accident. His fault entirely. I don't care (as most people) for whatever excuse WHY he did it. He still did it. You may know of the 2012 F1 incident with Grojean doing the same noob mistake taking out multiple drivers. There simply is little reward of nose diving up the inside on a turn like this.
When american want, they can do awesome cars, Corvette and Viper are the proof of that. Question ? What is the kind of whistle under the engine sound ? I know it's not a turbo so what is it ?
supercarchallengetv Sorry i'm french and i don't use translator.. . It's this high-pitched sound which follow more the speed of the car it self rather than the engine RPM, so i don't think it's the gearbox. You can hear it on most of the GT cars and i've always asked my self about where this kind of whistle come from. Thanks for your answer
Johan G.Bruère-Dawson It is the transmission. the sound specifically is the straight cut gears. thats why, which ever gear selected the sounds does the same as the engine in terms of the noise getting lounder or lower. :)
damn that Volvo driver was dirty, first the shunt at the beginning and then loses grip at 6:40 ,just to pull onto the ideal line at 6:42 with a massive speed deficit,risking the Viper crashing into him.
So this is a bit of a mix of classes, GT3s with a GT2 and the Volvo that looks to be an Australian V8 Supercar. If not for the Ferrari 458 GT3 and the ugly yellow thing what I suppose must be the Vicora V8 this Viper had a great race, he left them on the start/finish straight pretty good, same with the S60.
Funny thing on this video we do not see a lot of Europeans saying America makes trash cars and American cars can't handle. LOL. That Volvo driver was crazy at the start -- but once the Race Art Viper got past the Ferrari Italia and the yellow Viper he made short work of the Volvo. How did the race turn out?
What's that Volvo doing in there anyway? Corvette , Viper, The BMW's and Porsche, Ferrari, are road cars, that you see on the street. The Volvo was made specifically for this. Very few production numbers. That's Sweden for ya.
you make a valid point regardless of ppl saying 'oh its SRT wanting to stay true to this or that', woners like me for example would love paddles and potential owners would but them because they would be easier to use, this is part of the reason sales are hurt and people generally buy lambo etc over a viper even though a viper may be quicker etc
Your talking apples and oranges A Lambo is 10 times the price of a Viper, so I don't get your point? Also Vipers are not even sold in Europe. unless you buy it in the states and ship it over. As for the manual, that's the whole point. If you were to ask a pro driver what he would like to drive for fun a the track he would say manual everytime. Shifting used to be a big part of racing. An Auto Viper is not a Viper anymore.
It's hard to explain that to younger people, they were basically children when racing was racing. That's why i used to be a big CHAMP car (Indy) from the 90's. 900 HP manual monsters. Mercedes, Ford, Honda, Toyota were the manufactures. Road America (The fastest road course in the US) the 1999 Honda still holds the lap record!! Almost 20 years on. Penske Mercedes had a 1000 HP specially built engine for Indy 500. They won. CHAMP car raced all over the world, huge crowds, only to be ruined by a moron that wanted his own "Indy" series. Hardly any road courses and slow "spec" cars. F1 was great before semi-Auto gear boxes. Williams Renault was a technical marvel, but made for boring races.
as a viper fan and owner of a road viper and race viper GT1 i can say they are very intimidating and a racecar driver wouldnt alwasy want old school manual, i know plenty of guys that wouldnt pick it, i started liking cars in the 90s to so i get what your talking about, was a fan of everything obviously indy to and i agree about your point on that, cool drivers met greg moore andretti, i was talking about paddles being on aviper from a sales perspective, regardless of your opinion thats what hurt its sales, if there was a paddle verson it would have outsold manual 3 to 1 or more.
if only vipers wernt in a restricted class like back in the 90s and early 20s, also paddle shift on road cars would have helped sales regardless of keyboard warriors thinking somehow old schoolers only want H pattern, its a big reason viper sales slowed
Yup. Everybody saying "save the manuals" but people who actually buy supercars prefer sequential transmissions (dual clutch or otherwise). Keyboard warriors don't have the $$$. No point in building a manual supercar if the market mostly wants sequentials. Fast forward to 2020 and Calvo motorsports are building 2000+HP vipers with manual sequential transmissions. 6XD sequentials are also coming in the near future.
It almost seems like the Volvo repented for what it did and let the Viper slide on by right before the start/finish at the end there, so the two could battle it out like gentlemen. Very sporting, if that's indeed what happened. But yes, adrenaline plus cold tires equals mayhem at the hairpin at Spa.

the dude in the volvo at the beginning is like that one guy who just turned off braking assists in forza
Hopefully he got a penalty of some sort
And he gets GONE as soon as he clears the turn holy cow
Great start and then the damn Volvo pushes him off the track.
I really miss the Vipers in GT Racing the battles between Vipers and Vettes was always amazing
Definitely the good ole days…Team Oreca Vipers and those C5Rs never disappointed. 💪🏾
Go Vipers.
From 0:53 to 1:04 is every race start in GT7
But seriously, randomly popped up as recommended and did not disappoint. What a car, and what a driver.
He timed that start perfect and that other car locked his brakes up and totally messed up everything. Should've been first after turn one!
beautiful drive mate, the torque of that viper is immense.
Same goes for the amount of the horses this engine has , which is around 650+
@@r_p_g_tk *_It only has around 450 hp. Or maybe this didn’t have the restrictor plate and used all its power._*
Nah I checked it , it has 678hp and it's an official figure
@@r_p_g_tk for the GT3 car? Or the road car? remember that race cars often use restrictor plates
@@lRedKill3r the GT3-R which is a GT3 regulated car, the road car which is basically the ACR (probably) has 645hp

Respect for ikea, did not know that you can build such fast Boards
Viper is still dominating in its class, decades later. What a masterpiece and a monster!
really cool in car shots. That viper is nasty.

There's no question that the Viper GT3R is a powerhouse!
Beautiful passes -- one, two, three: 4:12 5:35 6:40
De Graaff absolutely rocked in these moments. What a recover and IQ.
Volvo drivers man.
Disqualify that Volvo driver
Back in those days the super car challenge was still a good raceclass. I miss those supergt's
That V10 roar is heavenly! Mighty drive too! What was that idiot in the Volvo doing at the start! And when the viper was overtaking him!

Viper > Everything, especially that nuthead Volvo
Two valves per cylinder are enough... if it's a Viper.
and pushrods XD
Seeing the revenge on the Volvo was satisfying.
Badass. Supremely capable race car!
OUTSTANDING
Nice work Viper driver.
Fk'n noob in the volvo on the start.
+Themayseffect *Le Volvo nab comes in wrecks the Viper*
Viper: Who dafuq gave you your license?!
+Themayseffect He simply out braked himself. nothing he could of done to avoid the contact.
Reply
MiniOne82 he could have not run up the inside and nose dive into the corner.
He only did that because he locked up aka out braked himself. As I said in my first comment.

That start tho.... Picture perfect. Too bad cold tires forced em to tiptoe thru the first turn.
Nice overtake at the last chicane over yellow car.😮
*_Holy FUCK that acceleration at the beginning_*
wtf that stupid car early on tried taking you out, felt like I was playing Gran Turismo.
That Volvo looks like me when I try to play Gran Turismo...

Love that fuck your bump at the end lol
making that move stick from p3 - p2 was fantastic smhhh. Making that pass any later than that would have been detrimental
Dont know why it appeared in my yt now. But i liked it
i think we would still be driving or selling Viper today if we had a paddle gearbox like they are using (not race spec tho)....
Tbh I don’t think you’re wrong.
I'm drooling
0:50 that Aston forgot where the throttle was.
Awesome

Viper had them all sweating
nice move at 6:40....!

Yeah it does =) I believe all the cars run 450 but some must be just over.
Mega!
Am I the only one under the impression that the driver rarely really use the whole engine power available?
That a****** in the Volvo's holding up progress
i ove it 👍❤
Nice
Yeah big american V10
How much you gave that yellow Viper to let you take the inside, block the whole field like that?
wasn't a viper, it was the Vicora V8 (description)
1:02 Ouch.
Volvo❤
Those engine noises at the start...these race cars do NOT like going slow.
Yellow Viper driver succumbs to pressure pretty easily
damn thre viper shifts...
Almost seems like a down shift is needed going through Eau Rogue and Pouhon
