    Casey is willing to sacrifice his Viper's transmission to educate drivers. He is a true teacher.

    The last two minutes made me laugh hysterically. A smart aleck comment deserves a smart aleck reply and you delivered in spades.

    As a Brit, I can almost guarantee "not taking shifting advice from a yank" translates too this: "I have a Vauxhall VXR and it's a race car".

    Casey is probably one of the most genuine car guys I've never met. One day, maybe.

    I'm a young enthusiast that has no driver's license yet and I've driven stick only a few times and your videos are so educational and that's why I love your videos! I learn something new every time you upload a video!

    Thought a continuation of manual transmission shifting tips from the Porsche 944 would be good! This time I broke out the Viper. What did you guys think?

    Can you do a tutorial on rev matching, heel toe, and double clutching. I’m new to stick and down shifting without rev matching doesn’t feel good.

    Dude, don't tell them these things. Let them wear their synchros out so they have the opportunity to learn how to rebuild the box.

    I’ve been driving stick wrong for 15yrs after watching these shifting videos. Nobody ever taught me this stuff.

    He’s like Casey Neistat, but cooler

    Clutchless shifting is good for one thing only: when you can't use your clutch and have to get home, e.g if your clutch cable snapped.

    The interior of 2nd gen vipers is amazing. It’s so simple and no nonsense and I love it.

    Casey, I just bought my first manual car, a 2021 wrx and am having loads of fun. I find your videos are not only informative and educational, but also highly entertaining. You’re unknowingly creating future race-car drivers from these very videos. Keep on keeping on man, and much thanks 🙏

    Casey: don’t shift it like you’re some tough guy.

    I must thank you Casey for this "public service announcement". As a mechanic, I hate seeing a trashed transmissions with a perfectly good clutch.

    Can we appreciate what he does to his beloved viper for the sake of explaining it? I firmly believe, doing something stupid is the first step into learning and doing it the better way. Getting into good habits, rather than bad ones. Thanks for the hit on those synchros, I appreciate the effort of showing mistakes in order to prevent others from doing them.

    I could’ve sworn Shifting without using the clutch is like literally step number 1 of what not to do 😂😂😂

    Casy: You are in your element when you are teaching/ instructing.
