To be completely honest, anyone hating on that wing is handicapped bro.. That wing is freakin beautiful on this car. It completely sets it apart from all other Vipers I’ve seen. It’s the first thing that caught my attention on the thumbnail.! It’s GORGEOUS BRO.!!! YOU ARE SOOOO LUCKY SIR.!!!!
I disagree. Doug is out of touch with some of the cars he reviews. He has no clue when he reviews anything offroad like Jeep. Sorry, but just cant stand him and his sense of humour
Doug is a very wealthy man from making mainstream car reviews that wives watch and say oh how cool is this and that... I personally can't stand him. He seems like a total douche and how he tries to force comedy is just silly. It clearly worked for him, me being a female that has been around cars and building and tuning my whole life (dad owns a very well known shop in Florida.. We are known for 2j builds and RB and SR builds.) What i have watched of him showd a very lame amount of forced comedy and very little understanding of the cars he is presenting.
If you didn't know, viper uses same as 3000GT/Stealth mirrors. Maybe you can adapt a power mirror and install a switch somewhere. (even defrost available hehe)
I have a 92 VR-4 and I honestly never noticed until you said this that the Viper uses our mirrors, but you're absolutely right! I'd definitely love to see someone throw the power/defrost mirror from a 3kGT or Stealth into a Viper.
Love my Vette. It sees 8-10 track days a year, daycare kiddo drop off/pu, road trips and groceries in January (Wisconsin). The less I care about my car, the more I love it.
Great Video! I'm a long time car lover and finally bought my Gen1 a coupe of months ago...it is #47 for me. :-) I am churching things up and its hilarious that you mention extensive work in a 2-car garage at your condo. I'm in a 2-car garage at my condo and replaced about half of the fiberglass in the entire center section of the hood, last week. Wish I could post pics of my temporary spray booth. Ha! I love these early Vipers, because nothing is hidden from you.....you get to feel and manage every aspect of the driving experience. Thanks for taking the time to put these videos together. ...back to block sanding, ugh. -Jason (USAF ret)
My buddy has one he daily drives - 2007 coupe iirc. He had the radiator go at 130,000 miles as a heads up. It is far better as a daily driver than I would have suspected. It not only makes sense getting through traffic, but if you and another car come to a corner, doesn't matter, they let the Viper through first.
The Viper has been my dream car since I was a kid I cannot wait to own one some day soon. I love to see that you drive this thing and that you’re from Ohio. I am also from Ohio, actually not to far from Nelson Ledges, where you first saw the car. Like you I hope to own a Viper someday, not just to say I have one, but to actually drive it because that’s what it’s meant to do. Watching videos about guys who have owned gen 1&2 Vipers has really helped prepare me for what to expect when it comes to owning this car and whether or not my limited mechanic abilities are capable of handling any fixes to the car that it may one day need. I really appreciate Viper owners sharing their experiences with their cars so that I can see what the common issues are, what’s normal wear and tear, and what’s stock/aftermarket etc. It’s encouraging to see that yours has such high miles on it (not to mention it survived a crash) and it’s still going strong. So please keep giving updates on your Viper!
i was born in 89 and since i was 7 this exact viper and your bat mobile have been my all time most favorite vehicles ever!!! Appreciate you and all that you do. NAmaste!
First saw this fella over at VINwiki, love the guy. he is just everywhere and nowhere at once. haha. Stories are amazing. Thanks for the VIper review i always wondered how those beast held up over time. =)
During my bachelor party in Las Vegas 2006 my buddies rented me a solid red 02 Viper GTS for a day. I owned an S2000 at the time and the immediate, brutal amount of torque on tap at all times was intoxicating. Hope to get a chance to add one to my stable some day. Yet another great video Casey!!!😂😂😂
Hey Casey don't worry so much we all love your car, its the reason why we all watch your videos b/c we AGREE with you. Love the viper and genuis garage, hopefully I can work there with you one day :)
That means a lot, thank you for saying that. I've gone through a lot of tough things in my past and being public with these things does make me nervous from time to time. Cheers!
My local parts store guy has a viper, but he never drives the damn thing. So cool to see somebody that actually drives their cool cars. Also, I really dig the wing. I think oem and well done wings that look like they could come from the factory look good.
The more videos I watch the more I appreciate your channel and the way you present things. It is very much real world like All the little real life things issues, and outlook is appreciated
My favorite car of all time, that wing and front spoilers look great on it. It's really great to see it actually being used and not just wasting away in some show room. I think the Viper's a car that needs to be used and enjoyed :)
Gr8 video, I could list one after another things I loved about it, but that would be a very long comment. Awesome personality & loved the way you threw in lots of little zingers. I'm 53 & I've been researching the Viper, as I only own manual cars & this has always been one of my favorites!!! Thanks😁
I like your attitude about the car. I totally agree. I have a 2000 GTS and love it, but it not without its quirks but it’s a unique car. I love that yours isn’t a garage queen. I like the shift knob, not a fan of my OEM massive ball on mine, what exactly do to make it a short shifter and I couldn’t find a shift knob like the one you bought on Jegs, I flew fighters in the military so glad you got a ride, it was a great life. Thanks for the channel!
That viper was one of the first cars I ever really like LOVED as a kid. I loved that it was called viper. I loved the look. Still do. I’m such a Toyota guy but gosh... viper is something want to own before I die
Hey man.Thank you for taking us for a walkaround.Love the Vipers..and yours looks killer.I have to say i love that rear wing.Actually.Looks aawesome.Im abit biased as i do have a car with a huge rear wing myself..the Ford Sierra Rs Cosworth(the "whale tail Sierra ".so i definetly know my wings :) Greetings from Norway ,Stefan
@@CaseyPutsch Thank you so much mister.I apreaciate your kind words so much.Love the content that you bring to the table..so im an avid viewer of your videos..but i cant comment on all of em,as that would just be stupid (Laughs)..so..but anyways.Very nice videos..and again..thank you so much for coming back to me.Greetings from Norway, the land of the Vikings :) Stefan
On my list of top 5 cars I always wanted. 96+GTS Blue with white stripes. I imagined white wheels on one when in college 20 plus years ago. Now my dream is a reality in your videos 😂
Man, that’s an awesome car just like it is! I love the spoiler in the back and all of the patina. You’re getting to have a blast and make fantastic memories in it and that is what life is all about!!! You remind a lot of a best friend I had years ago. He looked like you, sounded like you and had the same mannerisms. And he and his dad totally rebuilt his Volkswagen Beetle with a hot rodded engine and painted it blue like your viper. We had a blast in that thing! That guy knew how to have a blast and live life. One time he got a speeding ticket so his dad took his car keys for a couple of months. He rode his bike 20 miles round trip almost everyday to see his girlfriend (now his wife) so nothing stopped him.
I put a couple hundred miles shuffling a similar year viper from a car show for a friend. I loved it sooo much... .even though it had murder in its heart! Thanks for the tour of your ride, I dig your car and enjoy your stories!
I ran into the same tire issue on my mr2. Even moving to aftermarket wheels it is hard to find ones that have tires available, fit, and have the right stagger. Luckily I came across some old wheels from a decent brand on ebay with the exact right offset and acceptable stagger that already had usable tires on them with new ones available. The finish is messed up but there isn't any non-cosmetic damage and they were cheaper than new tires alone.
Love the Viper. I first learned about it when I got the hot cars binders when I was a kid.. and LOVED those...it pretty much made me fall in love with the Viper in the first place.
@@CaseyPutsch oh dude that's so awesome i'm not the only one that remembers those! as soon as I seen this video I went to looking to see where I can get them again lol, if not for anything just to bring back a little childhood in me.. rock on man! have a great day! :)
Love the car. I've been wanting a Viper since i was 8 years old and one day i'm getting one. This kind of attitude is exactly the motivation I've been looking for to be honest.
Your attitude toward the interior is exactly mine towards my c6. Many complained and still do about the interior, whoever bought mine did the friggn 8k upgrade package on the interior which that’s all great and what not but even the base interior is just fine in my eyes. It’s not perfect. But it’s more than adequate for a drivers car..... the c6 is and was a hell of a performance value so I don’t know why everyone is so whiney about an interior of a drivers car. The c6 is my dream car (specifically the zr1) but since the c6 came out when I was 15 it was immediately my favorite car. I’ve owned and still own a mustang because they are also a great value but now at 29 I finally got a c6 and it lives up to my expectations. Kind of a similar story just took me longer to get. She’s a z51 ls3 car, not the craziest thing on 4 wheels but I do love it!
Always love watching your videos! I still have my toy car viper same color and everything as your car. I've had it for 17 years now lol. one day I will ride in one!
My buddy used to have a '99 All Black/Connolly GTS. Two huge chrome n2o tanks in the hatch & LM Goodyear slicks on the stock rear wheels. That car succumbed to an engine fire & he rebuilt it with a T91 single turbo setup. His family had dozens of Vipers over the years, but that one was my fave.
Just drove in a 1997 here in Ohio. My friend had a crazy pistol grin gear shift knob. I like yours better. Wow-what a beast! Agree w your philosophy that cars need to be driven. It’s a sad day when a Viper sits idly. Love your video. I’m now a subscriber too 👍🏻
I'm 44 and I enjoy your topics and honest presentation. I like your style and your Viper is kickass. We disagree on the gun topic but because we relate on so many others, I'll give it a pass. Keep the spirit and thanks for sharing. Subscribed!
I love the Dodge Viper! Yours is gorgeous. I own a 1995 Mustang GT vert, last year of the 302w in the Mustang, with the metallic teal paint. It is my "hot rod" I don't daily it, more of a project car. I also own a 2016 Mustang GT premium, I got the RTR axle back exhaust and the Ford Performance power pack 2. Neither are as fast as that beauty but I love them both.
I'm 57 and I am recently getting back into wrenching. I have raised my family, cruising in a well paying career, finished another degree, and now I wanted to get back into hobbies... I love cars for the engineering and the art of them. Of course, the cruise. I recently bought an 06 Mustang v6 convertible Mustang (my graduation gift to myself), I am doing some refreshing and light mods to make it more my style. Do I give a rats patootie that some will give me crap because it is not a v8 GT? F-that noise! I don't need speed or super quick off the line, but I wanted a 5 speed stick and something I can drop the top and enjoy the sights, sounds and feeling of real driving fun. Is your Viper for me? (or insert any other car) Well besides I am to damn old and stiff to get in and out of a Viper.. no.. ;-) But I look at the Viper lines, and the shapes and see the beauty of the design. And I say.. cool... Sure as heck, I would love to try and stuff myself in it and have a cruise with you, and talk about cars, chicks and life... enjoy the rumble of the engine and the road before us... That's what it is really about!
Hey Casey just wanna say I love your videos! Been binging them today and I like your attitude and perspective. I wish there was a Genius Garage around me!
I met the guy who made the original v10 for Chrysler. The team cut two smallblocks in half with a bandsaw. They had a hell of a time with the crankshaft. That story came up when I was telling him about my team making the cranks for the viper in 2012 when it was being relaunched. Roush-Yates were partially building those motors in the back of the semis, on the road... it was cut so close!
What a very enjoyable review of an iconic car. I have always wanted to drive a Viper, unfortunately I have never meet someone whom own one. But hearing you describe it and the obvious passion you have for driving it, I whole heartily agree, these cars are meant to be driven and enjoyed for what they are amazing machines, I truly envy your daily driver. Thank you - Charles
Well Casey another fun but honest video to add to the stable! Sadly, I can’t obtain a slick Viper like yours but I’m not complaining tho my 928s is weird and unique enough for my tastes 😎
I was in love with the Viper the first time I saw it at the auto show in Detroit. I was lucky enough to ride in one of the first ever assembled due to a member of team Viper living on our street. The was the RT/10. When I saw the GTS I was floored. It was very similar to one of my other favorite all time vehicles ever, the Burton Batmobile. I like to think the engineers were inspired by that as they share a lot of similarities. With the wing on this one is takes it to the next level.
Great video. Few things. On my 02 viper, I have a rear trunk latch below the sill, it’s usually hidden below the carpet but it’s there (at least on mine). Also, careful with mishimoto hoses “quality”. Mine blew after 10 miles of ownership. Fun time on the highway. They offered me $30 discount on a new $200 set lmao
just recently watched the Petrolicious presentation of Mr. Putsche's absolutey stunning gorgeous '97 Viper GTS. and now this popped up in my suggestion list, great ! I remember the name of Casey Putsch'es from many years back, where he was showcasing his fully functional turbine powered true to scale and original '89 Batmobile which, if I recall correctly, was even registered and street legal for road use. really amazing! greetings from germany.
Cheers! Well I'm making some new videos on that same Batmobile now, so you should consider subscribing to my channel. Hope you enjoyed this video! I love your country too!
enjoyed this in depth full detail presentation a lot ! absolutely love Vipers, and this one is one very fine example of the legendary American beasts that are are Dodge Vipers.
@@CaseyPutsch Hi Casey, thank you for the quick response, looking forward to the Batmobile videos coming ! and hopefully more of this awesome Viper GTS of yours too ! oh and yeah, new subscriber ! ;-) cheers again from germany to amazing America ! :-)
This is the car that will always be "The One" that I wanted from my child hood. Somewhere in storage I have a blue and white stripe Viper model that I will keep forever...need to go find it now actually and find a safe place for it
I actually really Love the wing, its not common. The viper in this exact colour scheme was the first Model car that I ever got. I would like the own 1 someday but they are really expensive to import to my Country and I think there is only 1 currently and its a 1st gen.
Awesome review of your Viper Casey. Love the car. I agree, drive it like you live it. Here's an idea for a T'Shirt: "It's all about the Driving. Isn't it?" Cheers!
Casey you and Ed are far and away my fav TH-cam personalities! You are awesome and Ed is awesome yall are great and standup people! The Wa'dUP fits right in with the 90s vib of the car lol!

Honestly the wing really sets it apart in my mind from other vipers. Love that look
Type_S_Tyler thank you
@@CaseyPutsch love the wing as well
I like it especially as a lineage piece. It really confirms the Viper is the SRT4’s daddy.
That and the balance of white between the stripes and the wheels just brings everything together nicely
Type_S_Tyler yes keep the wing!
Casey "what do you want from me" Putsch 😁

Flak Jack What are you saying? also he's a Millennial, he was born in 88 wich was the first year of that generation.

Thank you. I was really worried about this one.

Everyone loves Doug Demuors reviews, but Casey could give him a run for his money with this style of review this is much more entertaining
Levi Hutchison yeah.... not everybody. Thanks though!
Doug isn’t even a car guy. He just likes cars. There is a huge difference
I disagree. Doug is out of touch with some of the cars he reviews. He has no clue when he reviews anything offroad like Jeep. Sorry, but just cant stand him and his sense of humour

aww yes the good ol vr4 and stealth rt turbo
I have had a 96 GTS for over ten years and never knew this or even noticed until reading your comment!
Great video, and I love the attitude “hey it’s my car and I like it, if you don’t who cares?” Perfect
Love my Vette. It sees 8-10 track days a year, daycare kiddo drop off/pu, road trips and groceries in January (Wisconsin).
The less I care about my car, the more I love it.
A daily Vette haha only in america haha grats brother
In my eyes, the greatest cars ever made. Not a single aspect isn’t stunning for me.
Love that you daily this thing, really a timeless car. 'Murica.
RennPlus murica!
honestly I think it goes a bit beyond timeless they look better the more time that passes.
I think those are the perfect wheels for that car. Completes the ensemble!
The white blue is the first viper 99% of the people saw in real life of as model. It helps with the look like it belongs like this
It’s a very nice car but the rims have to go nothing beats the stock rims

I should wax it... But... I drive it..
I forgot waxed cars suddenly become undriveable. 😂
Jordan Johnson who has time for that. :)
I love this car and this guy. I'm so glad you made this
Always love watching your videos! I still have my toy car viper same color and everything as your car. I've had it for 17 years now lol. one day I will ride in one!
My buddy used to have a '99 All Black/Connolly GTS. Two huge chrome n2o tanks in the hatch & LM Goodyear slicks on the stock rear wheels. That car succumbed to an engine fire & he rebuilt it with a T91 single turbo setup. His family had dozens of Vipers over the years, but that one was my fave.
I kind of forgot about these cars. Great video!!!
I am so glad that you did the Dodge viper. That is my favorite car of all time doesn't matter what year are most.
You got me thinking... Maybe someday I will buy/own/drive a Viper. Yours has inspired me a little more.
Just drove in a 1997 here in Ohio. My friend had a crazy pistol grin gear shift knob. I like yours better. Wow-what a beast! Agree w your philosophy that cars need to be driven. It’s a sad day when a Viper sits idly. Love your video. I’m now a subscriber too 👍🏻
I'm 44 and I enjoy your topics and honest presentation. I like your style and your Viper is kickass. We disagree on the gun topic but because we relate on so many others, I'll give it a pass. Keep the spirit and thanks for sharing. Subscribed!
DJ Scott sorry about the comment. I respect all our amendments and your right to carry.
Love the car. A childhood favorite for me. And love your attitude toward the ride.
Thanks!
Love this review. So honest. No BS. This is how you maka a Viper YOUR viper.
I love the Dodge Viper! Yours is gorgeous. I own a 1995 Mustang GT vert, last year of the 302w in the Mustang, with the metallic teal paint. It is my "hot rod" I don't daily it, more of a project car. I also own a 2016 Mustang GT premium, I got the RTR axle back exhaust and the Ford Performance power pack 2. Neither are as fast as that beauty but I love them both.
I throughly enjoyed this review. Thanks bro!
I'm 57 and I am recently getting back into wrenching. I have raised my family, cruising in a well paying career, finished another degree, and now I wanted to get back into hobbies... I love cars for the engineering and the art of them. Of course, the cruise. I recently bought an 06 Mustang v6 convertible Mustang (my graduation gift to myself), I am doing some refreshing and light mods to make it more my style. Do I give a rats patootie that some will give me crap because it is not a v8 GT? F-that noise! I don't need speed or super quick off the line, but I wanted a 5 speed stick and something I can drop the top and enjoy the sights, sounds and feeling of real driving fun.
Is your Viper for me? (or insert any other car) Well besides I am to damn old and stiff to get in and out of a Viper.. no.. ;-) But I look at the Viper lines, and the shapes and see the beauty of the design. And I say.. cool... Sure as heck, I would love to try and stuff myself in it and have a cruise with you, and talk about cars, chicks and life... enjoy the rumble of the engine and the road before us... That's what it is really about!
Awesome! Yeah, have a blast!
Hey Casey just wanna say I love your videos! Been binging them today and I like your attitude and perspective. I wish there was a Genius Garage around me!
I met the guy who made the original v10 for Chrysler. The team cut two smallblocks in half with a bandsaw. They had a hell of a time with the crankshaft.
That story came up when I was telling him about my team making the cranks for the viper in 2012 when it was being relaunched. Roush-Yates were partially building those motors in the back of the semis, on the road... it was cut so close!
What a very enjoyable review of an iconic car. I have always wanted to drive a Viper, unfortunately I have never meet someone whom own one. But hearing you describe it and the obvious passion you have for driving it, I whole heartily agree, these cars are meant to be driven and enjoyed for what they are amazing machines, I truly envy your daily driver. Thank you - Charles
Love the viper and love the fact you drive it. I love my viper and I drive it as much as I can.
Absolutely love those cars. Always said I was going to have a 1994 C4 ZR1 and 94 Viper. I’m half way there. Have a good one Casey.
It's your car, you built it for you, and not the world. Love the car, it's all you!
I appreciate the viewpoint of driving your car because its awesome and accepting little flaws.
Loved the 97 viper since 1997! Favorite all time car, wish I had one too!
“Feeling all Chachi”. Most wont get that but spot my drink out when you said it.
Awesome!
Good job listening to wife, gold wheels would have been trash LoL!!! The white wheels fit the model year very well!
When I get one... I'd like to put the Hennessey aero on it

Had a 95 red roadster and a 99GTS in black. Great fun cars. Loved driving them. Two back operations forced me to regrettably selling them. My lost.
Well Casey another fun but honest video to add to the stable! Sadly, I can’t obtain a slick Viper like yours but I’m not complaining tho my 928s is weird and unique enough for my tastes 😎
Cheers and thank you! The 928 is an awesome car!!
This guy said many things I wanted to say lol. Great review on everything.
Pretty sure I've seen you cruising around in this thing, cool to see it on TH-cam after seeing it in person first!
I was in love with the Viper the first time I saw it at the auto show in Detroit. I was lucky enough to ride in one of the first ever assembled due to a member of team Viper living on our street. The was the RT/10.
When I saw the GTS I was floored. It was very similar to one of my other favorite all time vehicles ever, the Burton Batmobile. I like to think the engineers were inspired by that as they share a lot of similarities. With the wing on this one is takes it to the next level.
Great video. Few things. On my 02 viper, I have a rear trunk latch below the sill, it’s usually hidden below the carpet but it’s there (at least on mine). Also, careful with mishimoto hoses “quality”. Mine blew after 10 miles of ownership. Fun time on the highway. They offered me $30 discount on a new $200 set lmao
Love your Viper and your honest car-guy attitude
just recently watched the Petrolicious presentation of Mr. Putsche's absolutey stunning gorgeous '97 Viper GTS. and now this popped up in my suggestion list, great !
I remember the name of Casey Putsch'es from many years back, where he was showcasing his fully functional turbine powered true to scale and original '89 Batmobile which, if I recall correctly, was even registered and street legal for road use.
really amazing!
greetings from germany.
Cheers! Well I'm making some new videos on that same Batmobile now, so you should consider subscribing to my channel. Hope you enjoyed this video! I love your country too!
enjoyed this in depth full detail presentation a lot ! absolutely love Vipers, and this one is one very fine example of the legendary American beasts that are are Dodge Vipers.
@@CaseyPutsch Hi Casey, thank you for the quick response, looking forward to the Batmobile videos coming ! and hopefully more of this awesome Viper GTS of yours too !
oh and yeah, new subscriber ! ;-)
cheers again from germany to amazing America ! :-)
I Had a metal cast toy when I was about 5 exactly the same as your viper still a dream
For sure! I hope you enjoyed today's honest video.
Me too. Without the wing
@@TheAdatto same, that beautiful blue+white Viper model showed me liking cars before i got old enough to realize i really love cars.
Genuinely love that wing. Suits the body lines and styling down to the ground.
Cool Viper, like the blue color, white racing stripes and Mobil 1 Pegasus Horse, I agree, it does have a timeless classic look.
Thanks for this real info man its much appreciated
Damn Casey you seem like a pretty cool guy. Keep working hard man I love the videos.
This is the car that will always be "The One" that I wanted from my child hood. Somewhere in storage I have a blue and white stripe Viper model that I will keep forever...need to go find it now actually and find a safe place for it
I actually really Love the wing, its not common. The viper in this exact colour scheme was the first Model car that I ever got. I would like the own 1 someday but they are really expensive to import to my Country and I think there is only 1 currently and its a 1st gen.
Awesome review of your Viper Casey. Love the car. I agree, drive it like you live it. Here's an idea for a T'Shirt: "It's all about the Driving. Isn't it?" Cheers!
T Shirts to come!
@@CaseyPutsch You're amazing my friend. Many You Tubers don't even respond to comments especially on older vids. Thanks and Cheers!
I care about my fans. Doing my best. May get too hard one day, but I'm here for you brother!
Casey you and Ed are far and away my fav TH-cam personalities! You are awesome and Ed is awesome yall are great and standup people!
The Wa'dUP fits right in with the 90s vib of the car lol!
Enjoyed the video, thanks👍 I’ve always been a viper fan and hope to own one some day.
Way more practical than folks would have you believe. Glad you drive it!
The viper was always my favorite car as a kid…. I still love the way they look.. never had the chance to drive or even ride in one though lol
I think the gen 2 Viper is neat. And having lots of miles on one is super cool.
Regards,
Marky
