      Thank you for linking this instead of hiring a deaf sound editor to blow our eardrums out, then naming part 2 something entirely different with "Part 2" listed at the front of the title instead of the back to throw people off so that the TH-cam algorithm can't find it to play it next.

      Selah
      Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you./Inspiration+This verse reminds us of the primacy of Heaven and the need for our commitment to finding salvation in the afterlife. Through trying to become more perfect for our Lord in the image of our Savior Jesus Christ, we allow ourselves to become better people here on earth. This is the meaning of righteousness added on to us; for if we allow the example of Christ to inhabit our lives, in readying us for the afterlife, our deeds on earth cannot help but please God more. /Prayer+ Lord God, my eyes are trained upon Your Heaven, striving to become every day more like Your only begotten Son. In this, grant me strength Lord, for I know righteousness, virtue and bliss will follow me wherever I walk in Jesus’ name and light. And it is in prayer Lord, that I ask You to safeguard for me a place within Your Heavenly Kingdom, for I know my body may fail, as quick as all tomorrows -but Your paradise lives on, burning bright in the hearts of angels. Amen.

    SRT really made the Ram, Challenger, Charger/300, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the Neon, into the best they could be, plus more...The Crossfire just had a decal, but the SRT-10 is their fully original creation. Seen that year, color and rim set SRT-10 just pull onto a highway like it needed to get off an aircraft carrier Easter night, and it sounded so good.

    The original Viper engine was derived from the LA small block, which started in 1964. Its variants proudly include the 273, the 318 (1967 and later), the 340, and the 360, as well as the 5.2/5.9 Magnum engines. That all said, the original Viper V10 was basically a 5.9 V8 with two additional cylinders, and sports a proud racing history.

      Yup! More or less. & ofc a longer stroke to gain yet more cubes and low end torque.
      A pushrod engine does have advantages, like a lower CG than an OHC mill.
      Primarily ofc this was so, bc of the lack of a huge budget of most mega high performance cars.
      This was not the truck V10..but the front suspension was based on the excellent handling Dakota (Dakota R/T was a successful beast on road courses)
      ..ofc revised and tuned for car/track use.

      It wasn't THAT astronomical. The 1969 Ford Mustang Boss had 375 horsepower, and that's just the estimate. Full output of it some say could've been equal to or more than 500 horsepower.

Both are LA based but they're both very different engines. The Ram did eventually get the Viper V10 in STR-10 models but that was 9 years after the Magnum V10 was put into production.

    Fact Check:
    The Original Engine was actually Co-Developed by Lamborghini. So the V10 in the original Viper has a tiny portion of its roots from Italy.
    It was supposed to be the rebirth of the Shelby Cobra. Shelby helped design the chassis with some help from a former Hennessy Engineer.
    And most of all... 68% of the car is from a parts bin.
    And yet. Still a damn cool car.

    • @DesertStateNevada

      Fact Check: Lamborghini was owned by Chrysler at the time, and it was only for the first generation engine. That being said, the Diablo looks the way it looks because Chrysler's design team in Detroit redesigned the original cheap 80s sports car looking concept.
      Just an example of the cooperation between Chrysler and Lamborghini in the early 90s.
