90’s Dodge Viper:
An engine, a steering wheel and some brakes.
JP Labs “some” brakes.
JUST HOWI LIKE IT
"Brakes"
@@lorumipsum1129 LoL, my thoughts exactly.
Yeah because they have to
"Accelerates like it hates the past" - Perfection.
That was my favorite line. I think I'm going to start using it.
It sounds like a top-shelf Jeremy Clarkson line.
My life in a nutshell
It must've had some child support payments
Lol. I love that.
“This thing accelerates like it hates the past.”
I think I’m going to go cry now
OutKast how does this channel make so many great quotes consistently? I never see Doug DeMuro or Jay Leno make quotes that are half as good as these two guys from Pennsylvania.
@@aidenorcutt1738 Mr. Regular actually *IS* an English Teacher, which explains a few things. He said it in one of the live streams, IIRC.
My car must be very nostalgic about its past or maybe it's afraid of its future.
I ruined the 999 likes
@@SHAFLOXKS_OFFICIAL don't feel bad, if it wasn't you I would've had to do it myself, my OCD wouldn't let me leave 999 likes alone.
Those rims were on WAY. TOO. MANY. Hot Wheels cars in the 1990s.
The underside of this Viper should say “1994 MATTEL”
American Racing AR-39. Was also the stock wheel on the Suzuki Vitara/Grand Vitara, the Dodge Ram 1500 Sport, and some TJ Wranglers.
I swear Mattel had a fetish with those wheels. The even had it on bloody semi/lorries
I'm okay with that, those wheels are sleek as hell
That Hot Wheels used those three spokes so much then just shows how influential the Viper was. It even had its own TV show, basically a reason to show off the car!
“Let’s make a fast car”
“What else should it have?”
*shrugs*
*viper is created*
😂😂😂😂 lol abs, TC, brakes, build quality? Dodge development team: The fuck are those?
@@Blazerghost Those add weight and cost. Detrimental to a fast car.
@@techmage89 since when is cost detrimental to a fast car? That makes no sense. Not to mention there are plenty of cars that have all those that are faster, made in the same year. It's called Dodge was half assing it like every 1990s American manufacturer.
@@Blazerghost Cost is detrimental to a fast car when the money is spent on things that don't make it faster.
The Viper wasn't about being luxurious or high quality. It had a single-minded focus on performance. There were faster cars, but they were much more expensive.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Chrysler. Because you know you're doing something wrong when being bought by Fiat is the best thing to ever happen to you.
“Everybody needs their own messiah, but at some point; he’s getting nailed up. And how you deal with that is a measure of your maturity.” That’s actually real deep
yeah, RCR has a lot of statements like that
@@vertrox3435 Yeah, RCR can be pretty profound at times. Add to that a wicked sense of humor, and I am amazed that he doesn't have well over a milli subs. :)
only a 3yr old would call that deep.
Da Os guess I’m a 3yr old then
@@vertrox3435 with a sense of humour
omg my caravan has a viper key
Omg so does my ram 3500
omg so does my neon.
HOLY SHIT MY VIPER HAS A CARAVAN KEY OH NO
omg so did my piece of shit dodge stratus that i learned how to drive in
Everyone is talking about their viper keys but my 04 passat had the same key as the murciellago and veyron
I’ve never heard a person use such eloquent metaphors to describe automobiles. RCR, you never fail to impress me
1994 Dodge Viper: The automotive equivalent of Undertaker Vs Mankind in Hell in a Cell.
Alex Crawford He killed him!
BAH GAWD, THAT MAN HAS A FAMILY
Alex Crawford na, it's equivalent to the Meme of undertaker vs mankind
1998
You win my internet today good sir
1st gen Viper, the car you ALWAYS picked in Cruisin USA.
Brainc0la :T omg that game
Geezus that Game LMAO
2nd gen Viper, the car you strive to earn in Gran Turismo, both in simulation and arcade modes.
don't you mean cruisin' world? although cruisin' USA had the 63 sting ray.
Yellow with green stripes boiiii
"I present to you an engine, a steering wheel, and some brakes. Whatever you do...is up to you.
Freedom." Love it lol
"some" brakes overstates the brakes they had for 1st gen vipers XD
“It’s like 80’s General Motors in here.” First thing I thought of when I saw the interior of the Viper was my 1987 Pontiac Fiero GT, spitting image.
It actually uses the same steering column as almost every gm, amc, and jeep vehicle did in the 80's. Found it odd that the when I was restoring my jeep that the only other vehicle that shared the same windshield wiper switch with it was the early vipers. Thought maybe it was just the switch, but now I see it straight up uses the whole Saginaw steering column.
I learned manual in a viper. It was easy because you didn’t need to give it any throttle.
Plot Armor Goku thats how most v8 manuals are, in my z28 very little throttle, but in my 1.4 dart, gotta take it to 2000-3000
Ken Shiro That's probably because the power train on the Dart is designed more for efficiency instead of speed. Same goes for pretty much every modern car.
I learned to drive "stick shift" on a 97 Kia Sephia RS.....125hp i had to give a lot of throttle lmao. You win.
I have a 2017 Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0 148hp... It will idle out of 1st, but I have to "gently" ease the clutch out.
I can only imagine what would happen in this viper if your foot slipped of the clutch, while sitting behind a car at a stop light. 🙂
Salvatore Climenti I learned how to drive on an 86 Honda Civic. There was no throttle to give lol.
1994 Dodge Viper, the car for crashing through the gates of hell while blasting "Rock You Like a Hurricane"
Sounds like a cool death.
Nah man, it's crashing through the Pearly Gates with flames pouring out of the exhausts while Motörhead's _Ace of Spades_ is being belted out by Saint Lemmy and the boys.
Through speakers CRAMMED into cavities made in the door with dremel tool and a head unit duct taped to the roof
Good tastes. I was gonna say Turbo Lover by Priest, but hey, I'll be happy to rock Scorpions!
Terrible song
The Viper's V10 engine sound is my favorite to hear, it's high pitched but somehow still has the V8 rumble. It's weird, can't explain it, but I like it.
Its because its a crossplane crankshaft v10. Most v10s you hear otherwise are flatplane. So the v10 from the viper will sound more aggressive(better in my opinion) than supercars with a v10
In fact, the layout is essentially two banks of five, and an inline 5 (think Audi, Volvo) has it's own sort of minor key drone.
Personally, I love it, it's like a back scratch.
Pushrods it revs like a V8 with an extra Harley motor bolted to it
The angriest sounding engine ever built. You floor it, and this HUGE wave of rage and aggression goes barreling out the exhaust!
"Look either we can RAWDAWG or I can call you a Lyft, makes no difference..."
Lol I'm so using that line next opportunity I get.... just epic😂😂
@@kiwidiesel5071 dude I'm dead af 😂😂 I don't even remember posting this lmao
Forgot all about this video!!
@@LuziannaBoy lol Bit messed up were we🙏
My older brother and I saw this when it was a concept car at the Detroit Auto Show. We were awestruck. A few years later, he received his Viper. People went nuts for this thing when we drove around, mainly guys like you said. One guy followed us for miles to a stop sign and begged my brother to give him a ride for $50.00....The dude was so excited, I agreed to get out and stand by the side of a country road for 20 minutes so this guy could fulfill his dream by riding in it. I loved that car, he let 13 year old me blast the "Blood Sugar Sex Magic" album on our Michigan summer rides, even at full volume you could barely hear the music over the engine haha. Just figured i'd share my story since this review brought back a lot of memories!
Timothy Sayles good taste
Timothy Sayles
-- I too first saw the Viper at an auto show- although it was in Pittsburgh- still before it was released for sale. I was still a teenager, although just barely, and remember how blown away I was by it. I also remember all the people around me saying how it was just another car that looks all kinds of great at car shows, but will never actually find its way into a dealership... . And look at it now! Automotive history those asshat Europeans can't even suckstart, much less handle driving!
ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!!
Must be nice to grow up in a family that can buy Vipers. Honestly your brother is a moron for letting a stranger, that followed you for miles no less, get into the car. He could have easily shot you both in the head and took it. I grew up in Miami where gunfights heppened over $10 disputes. Give them a chance to steal a $50,000 car and watch what happens.
@@davidlasanen7690 what?
God I miss driving this car.
Spun once and thought I was going to die... I was only going 25
That sounds scary but fun
I've had one for three years and I drive it like a maniac. How did you manage to spin it at 25??
@@mattscoolstuff4439probably some bald tires
"I bought Vipers in Gran Turismo, and threw another temper tantrum when I didn't win"
Oh buddy, you want a moment in a GT game that'll make your blood boil?
Run the Opel Speedster Cup in Gran Turismo 4.
You just need to max out everything and tune it hard and you will win, the same with 206 cup.
Ah, good memories.
Do the european (pal) version of the mercedes SLR around 2 laps of nurburging in a fast enough time to get gold. Its actually pretty impossible.
Google it, it was horrificly broken and stopped people legit getting 100%
Try GT2 historic race with the Ford GT40 that exceeds max HP lol
@@Tony-112 or try TVR Speed 12 in GT2, literally almost impossible to control without analog pedal control
Vipers still scare the piss out of me.
They’re like the Dark Souls of cars: they do exactly what you tell them to... what happens afterwards is your problem and your problem alone.
Just cheese ceasless D bro
You better use that teenage voice in your Nissan Skyline review!
Which Nissan skyline is he gonna review tho?
A 4 door non turbo model that he is going to review while In New Zealand.
Kyle Soler Which gen? The 90's R32 and such or the boxy 80's R30 and R31?
At least it's not the glorified GTR one's that kids tend to think of when they hear the word skyline. :p
Mate GTRs have a pretty well-deserved reputation for being ferociously fast. Especially when set up for racing - they absolutely destroyed Group A here back in 92.
James Healy I would say ford destroyed group A with the turbo Capri thingy that thing was badasssss
"It accelerates like it hates the past"
Is that an original comment?

I EXPECT A REGULAR TRAIN REVIEW
A Cat:
This [points to passing train] is a CSX manifest freight train headed to Chicago. There ya go. Train review. If you need me, I’ll be at the bar.
The era of Vipers that I really liked. The 2nd gen GTS, with blue color and white stripes. Ah, what a beauty.
BlackStar250874 brings a tear to my eye
Aw, yeah, even I remember geeking out when I got a Hot Wheels Viper with racing stripes... and my taste in cars mostly runs in two directions: Maseratis and Bentlys in one, and VW Vanagons and Daihatsu Midgets in the other.
Actually kinda my aesthetic in general. I want an even mix of Obsessively Handcrafted Aesthetic and More Functional Than Cinder Blocks.
Same!
@@robertkenobi9016 same aesthetic, you mean?
That's the dream.
I drove a 1st gen Viper once......my biggest impression was that the brakes are frighteningly inadequate for the available horsepower.
superchan7 they were from parts bin of mid size pick up Dakota.
@@derekintrovert5619 Incorrect. The hubs and wheel bearings were from the Dakota. Brakes are bespoke Viper. The Gen 1 and 2 didn't have enough rear brake, likely because they didn't want folks locking a rear tire. But the brakes were fine, like the rest of the car, you just have to learn how to use them. Go look up 0-100-0 times for it.
@@kma4444: The first-gen Viper brakes were good enough to stop from 100mph _once every ten minutes._ You'll set them on fire if you try to drive on a track with the stock brakes.
I rented a 1995. I figured it was just because it was a rental. It's scary that all of them were like that. I used the engine to slow down, and that seemed to work better.
I recently had a chance to drive a NASCAR stock car from 2005. The brakes arent any better there either. You have to press the pedal down to the point your leg is completely flexed, and even then, you only have brake engagement. To get the car to stop fast you have to slide up in the seat and slam your foot down on the brake pedal with no less than half your body weight and then you have to fight the wheel because your car will immediately jerk to whatever side the planet deems the car should go.
the 1-st gen Viper the official car of:
do you want to go through the pearly gates upside down, backwards and on fire at an angle of 45 degrees?
[Cykoid] i actually went to high school with a guy who killed his girlfriend on new years eve a couple years back doing exactly that in a viper. He wasnt even drunk, just took a curve way too fast and flipped. These cars are definitely not good choices for trust fund kids
ThaGVPSon or maybe it's the perfect car for trust fund kids
As much as he dislikes chrysler i love when he finally thows them a bone.
He hates the actions of _modern_ Chrysler. He's a bit like someone's stern but loving father: he's only hard on them because he knows they can do better and he wants to see them achieve their potential.
I can admit that an automatic option would've definitely helped this car sell more units, but at the same time you gotta admit Dodge's commitment to keeping it as raw of an experience as possible 'til its discontinuation was nothing short of admirable, and in turn made gave the Viper a legacy and uniquiness that next to no other car can boast "Yes, we could give it an automatic, sell more units , and make more money, but the Viper isn't about that, we have a vision, and we'll commit to that vision until the very end"
Believe me this is a different 400hp
TheReal NateDogg meaning
Aside from the fact that it's a quote from the video, it's not at all far from true.
You may have a newer car with 400 horse or more, but it's got traction control, ABS, all sorts of electronic nannies and actual safety equipment.
The Viper is none of that. It will kill you in an instant if you don't respect it, and that's why it's absolutely amazing.
I own a 2004 model and I can honestly say it absolutely is a different horsepower . My model comes with 500 horsepower and its a scary fucking car . I owned a 2011 grand sport before this car and I used to let everybody go for a spin in that car but my viper? I will not let anyone sit in the driver seat, You have to respect this car when you drive it absolutely requires skill to drive . You can't hop in the car and go you have to get used to the cars pros and cons . All around I love my viper
DeviouS yes there is nod difference but an engine that makes its peak power at a high rpm's will feel different than one that is set up to make peak power at lower rpm's. A carbureted engine with a large plenum single plane intake will not be as responsive on the bottom end but it will scream on the top end where a dual plane intake will be more torquey and responsive off the line
MultiAREE Hello I totally agree. A person needs Skills to Drive A Viper. SCCA road courses & racing schools teaching you better skills Vehicle dynamics you are 1000% Correct😊
R.I.P Dodge Viper 1992 - 2017
Molly Popper Rock stars tend to die young. ;_;

Pft, Dodge stopped making it before. It'll come back eventually.
Viper is dead...Cobra is next...🐍

Doug DeMuro reviews one of these and the #1 comment on his video is "I present to you an engine, a steering wheel, and some brakes. Whatever you do is up to you."
RCR is legit guys, even if you still feel like imposters the community embraces you.
The Viper is the A10 Warthog of cars.
The A10 is basically a gatling gun with a airplane attached to it.
A Viper is a V10 with a car attached to it.
I like that analogy lol
Paused the video and I flew through the windshield, 10/10
Lum Invader funny as shit.
I remember a local rich kid would drive his dads Viper to school in about 05, at least until he destroyed it by slamming into a dumpster behind the KFC one night doing doughnuts trying to impress a girl.
I had a friend who did this but he wiped out the whole parking lot behind a local pub. Alcohol to blame.
SYGLP - Was she impressed?

As a kid I had a metal toy dodge viper with the racing stripe down the middle, would literally just hold at it and stare at it.
good times!
Same.
I wonder what model cars sell the best. I know I had a Lamborghini and Viper as model cars when I was little. Help me now Google in my moment of need.
Me too. I built the metallic blue scale model, also.
"Unsympathetic to stupidity"
I didn't know I had something in common with the Dodge Viper
My neighbor owns a 1995 Viper. Bought it new in early ‘95 and has kept it in perfect condition to this day. He let me sit in it, and I felt like I always do as a tall guy in a not-so-tall place haha.
"Everyone needs their own messiah and at some point he gets nailed up"
Damn.
His writing is top notch on this one. I'm stealing that one.
And how you deal with that... is a measure of your own maturity.
but only one died and rose again.
Blue second-gen GTS with the dual white racing stripes will probably remain my fantasy car forever. Yeah, I know it wasn't the best at handling, and yeah I only got hooked on it because of Gran Turismo, but I don't care. It has a lot of power and it looks awesome. Plus, door handles and actual windows.
IstasPumaNevada
Same here! I'm sad the new Gran Turismo game only has the 2013-2015 model years, and two of the three are race cars. Even though the modern versions blow away the first and second gen Vipers in terms of raw numbers. I'd still rather the Old School Vipers.
IstasPumaNevada
I will have one, some day.
If not a GTS hardtop, an SRT vert. Because I can deal with having a drop top
IstasPumaNevada Amen!! I want same thing but red and white stripes please.
So true.
I remember seeing that car in person for the first time and I yelled a Dodge viper with racing strips!
This is the best description of the viper I think I’ve ever heard
"Everyone needs their messiah, but at some point, he gets nailed up!" - the burning salt is strong in this one.
OH BOY 3 AM
LaxativeLegend oh boy 11 am :p
I clicked so fast when I saw Viper and RCR in the same title
"This car will kill you..."
That's why I want it... :O
That's... why I'm here.
I got to drive a 2005 viper for my job as a lot porter, so I only got to feel it at 15mph, but even that was the greatest driving experience I have ever, and will ever have.

200 dollars a tire seems kinda cheap for that car.
Guess it makes a difference if they gotta be replaced every 2,000 miles or less.
Isn’t a veyron set like $25,000
@@Jonathan-px7dg I believe it was $30,000 or more every 2,500 miles
Andrew Holmes I’m probably mixing up € and $
must be old money... R compound isn't cheap.
This continues to be my absolute fav RCR.... I think you nailed the description. I've never owned a Viper, but I've driven a few.
This is it, the my favorite episode on the channel
No stripes, no speed
Normal Car Cup in Gran Turismo 1.
What's that, cheaty rubber-band AI in your Acura NSX Type-S Zero and your Toyota TRD 3000GT Supra, getting half a lap ahead of the rest of the field within 2 minutes? You think you're so great?

I relate to this so much it hurts
andxx0r_the_second I totally did that. Saved up for a Viper then I wasn’t good enough to race it. Lol
andxx0r_the_second And soooo many spinouts were had shortly after haha
My god i remember searching the Gran turismo 2 dealerships for HOURS trying to find a good deal with my first 100k. All the race cars were waaaay out of my price range..... then there was the viper....
So much yes right here. This guy PlayStations.
Oh my god! This video was a work of ART. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this and it's amazing commentary.
I'm so happy that you keep doing these after all these years. I love your channel big dog, will always be a fan. Keep grunting out "BIG RED ROCKET".

That's... Extremely accurate.
The 2003-10 Vipers looked almost bland and, well, 2000s-ish. The 2013-17 Vipers look somewhat elegant, beautiful, and well-designed. But then there's the 1992-02 Vipers that just look angry and like they want to kill you; they're the purest and most honest Vipers.
Well, the first gen Viper is pretty much the purest interpretation of the original idea of Bob Lutz. He wanted a modern interpretation of the Cobra, and to be fair, I can't compare the RT/10 to anything else other than a Cobra. Only an oversized engine and the driver, nothing else between.
'08 Viper ACR in snakeskin green is a beautiful machine...
My money goes straight to the original model Viper, either RT/10 or GTS, thanks to Gran Turismo. But playing Need for Speed a decade and a half later, I look at the newer models and go "Where's the snake styling?" It looks nice on it's own, but the styling feels like it's trying to be something else. Like a Mercedes-Benz or an Aston Martin, but only halfway so. I'd risk being in a screaming deathtrap if it means having the authentic bodywork.
I want a viper like my ex wife, it wants to kill me
He's certainly worn the tread off those back tires. Must be a blast in the wet!!
Pha Q A blast of fire, upside down in the wet.

Subscribed. This content is amazing I binge watched so much.
I have always wanted a 94 viper, graduated high school that year and that car was an alien, nothing even compared to it
i remember being a kid and knowing absolutely nothing about american cars. i'd never seen a pick-up truck, a corvette, a mustang, i had no idea what GM was, and i thought ford was a british company.
yet i knew the viper. I knew that car existed, even if i never came across one myself. i'd see it in magazines, video games, on TV, i even had a toy car of a viper.
even now i look at it unlike any other car. there's just something about it.
Yeah, I feel like it's the most exotic of the American sports cars. They're incredibly rare over here in the states because nearly all people just buy Corvettes because of all the common amenities they have. Some go for a Shelby GT500, but not many. THEN, you have the Viper. No one really buys them because they're the last breed of their kind-- a car without assists except for ABS, probably.
There is something about them. Even growing up in the US you rarely ever see them. They are way more rare than any Vette or Mustang. The Viper has always been the top dog, the cream of the crop,, the head cheese, the undisputed champ of them all. Every American sports car has looked up to the Viper with envious eyes even to this very day as far as I'm concerned.
I know that he said this wasn't beating Eurocar's around the track, but when they came out with the ACR version in '99 it was certainly a track car. Blindingly fast and grippy as hell. What a car. And gorgeous too.
Yeah, there is something about it. It's incredibly ugly.
Conscious Robot yeah but it's thinner than your mom
i can't thank Gran Turismo enough for introducing me to this car
1997 GTS in Blue w/ white stripes powersliding around Grand Valley, never forget
"This car accelerates like it hates the past" Amazing!
Your comments about the automatic transmission is spot on. I bought a new Mustang GT in 2015. Automatic because I just got tired of shifting. My Mustang is a great touring car and I drive it daily. I want to go to things like Cars and Coffee and share my passion with others, but it's such a negative experience when someone is appreciating my car then 180s because it's an automatic. Then it just becomes a case of me having to defend my preference for some reason. So I just stay away. It kind of sucks.
corvettez06usa first time I ever went over 100mph was in a rented automatic Mustang and it was pure joy. Tell people they can get bent.
Honestly, I equate an automatic in a muscle car to jacking off as opposed to real intercourse, it achieves the same goal, but isn't the same experience. That's why every vehicle I've owned (except my 1st car) has been a manual
America's TVR
Luke F EXACTLY!!
@Evan Tatusko Well, that depends on which TVR you're tallking about. If its the Cerbera 12 Speed, then nope, that thing was so overpowered and unsafe that the chief engineer decided to scrap the entire project because he was terrified of this car.
More like Chrysler’s Corvette ZR-1, who in turn was intended to compete against the Ferrari Testarossa and Lamborghini Countach - TVR had nothing in that segment, their cars was intended to compete against the Porsche 930 and Ferrari 328
There was a TVR that was abandoned at an auto shop near my house so they put it up for sale. I never got to check it out but it always caught my eye when I drove by.
It's not about what it was meant to beat Godwing , it's about what the car itself is , TVRs are powerful ,scary and will try to kill you ( and very goofy looking) just like the R/T 10.
This is likely among the top 5 most iconic cars of the 90's...and it's so damn AMERICAN. Huge, bold and careless.
DeerKoden and gives no thought to the value of life 😂
It's a 90s Cobra lol
Yet looks like a lotus on steroids
ST Flytpath Your nob-stupidity is the safety feature
Funny thing about the vipers. They looked big... but when you actually get next to one you realize how small it really is. Quite a feat of body design imho.
I saw one coming home from work late one night (I'm a DJ, so it was around 2 am) and saw one in my local 7/11's parking lot. This thing is magical. It's a magnet, you have to go look at it. I saw it out of the corner of my eye and my inner 15 year old went "VIPER". The whole "knowing exactly what it is" is so true, everyone *feels* this car is special. Dodge knew. One hell of a car
I know I'm late, but jesus christ... Whenever I need a laugh, I know that I can come back to this video. I love all that you guys do. Never stop making videos!
I had to watch this 3 times. It's like reading or watching a classic book or movie. You catch something new each time.
Even in the 90s it's pretty astonishing that the Viper made it to showrooms for people to buy. Volvo and Mercedes were very much touting their safety credentials at the time, the 80s cemented the seat belt's existence particularly with the channel drive auto-belts, and the Europeans were starting to spread the good word of the airbag.
The only things that were perhaps similarly dangerous - only perhaps - would be a RWD 911 Turbo of the time, or something even more absurd like a Lambo, which were quite rough-hewn machines back then. But the Viper takes the cake. The first 2 gens of this car still look better than gens 3 and 4, though the original GTS coupe is the ultimate expression of Viper styling.

I fell in love with the Viper rt/10 when I first saw one fly by on the freeway when I was kid.
This was the first RegularCars review I ever watched...watch about 50 immediately after
Shockingly informative, _aren't they?_
It's still on my bucket list to drive one. They are my dream cars
Colin Donovan Hi Colin if you ever get a chance go for it !!!! They are FUN!!!!!!!😁😅😆😆😆😆😆😆😂😂😚😁
My best friend owns a 2nd gen super charged one.... Its a rocket ship. He won't let me drive it though lol
@@mercwiffamouff7301 they are unforgiving if you push them too hard, yet they drive like ordinary cars
@@thelonelywolf88 hey you uploaded the Twisted Metal/Twisted Nipple soundtrack.

This car WILL KILL YOU.
Absolute Zero how about mr2?
I would rather die in a Viper than survive in a Prius.
Absolute Zero Or worse: cripple you. Know someone that crested over a hill in their 3rd gen and gave a bit too much throttle by accident... lost both his legs.
That was a work of pure genius. I salute you sir!
Going to buy one soon!!!!!!!! I have been eyeing them for years. I'm months away roughly. Cant wait!
This was a great R.C.R. episode. I feel the raw and blatant energy of the viper perfectly complimented the style of journalism showcased on R.C.R. Great video. I have watched for a few years, I subscribed today. Keep getting better.
P.S. Buy a skateboard or rollerblades for a smoother "run along" shot.

Dodge Viper: 10 cylinders of NOPE
because it has very little in the way of safety features; no airbags, no traction control, no Stability Control, and no Anti-Lock Brakes. basically, if you crash this car, you are on your way to see St. Peter at the Pearly Gates.
U probably drive a rice box this murica!!
@@digitalrailroader So in other words it is a true driver's car, and not some car for your average middle aged mid life crisis.
@@digitalrailroader if you crash without those features you shouldn't be driving a sports car. I drove a camaro in Chicago's winter without those features and I haven't gotten in one single accident
For some reason lately I've been replaying Max Payne 1 & 2 and this is really giving me some cool noir vibes with your interesting word choices & references to important Jungian archetypes that relate to why men love cars.
I’m surprised that the whole “overheating to the point of catching fire” or the “ rev too high and you’ll blow a rod through the aluminum block” issues where not mentioned
I get what you're saying about automatic transmissions but you have to realize that autos from the 90's were nothing like the amazing pieces of tech we have now
'90s
What? All the tech stuff they are creating now is bullsh*t. cars are way uglier now and does everything for you without you putting in effort, I’d rather a 90’s car any day that this new age sh*t
this is anything but regular
At some point Doug Demuro and Mr. Regular need to switch formats
neither is a fucking autozam but whatever
Nah, Doug would rather have over a million subs and 275 million views.
Beats the review of the helicopter or whatever that thing he reviewed was that wasn't a car

Isn’t the viper a cheap car?
I had such a crush on this car as a kid.
This is the best episode I have ever seen, I love it. True beauty.
It even had its own 90s future-esque TV cop show: "Viper"
jjkroll32 With a cloak!
I love that show!
That show was awesome. Never missed an episode. CGI was impressive too given the time period.
Wasn’t it called the Defender when it was all armoured up? It was the 90s Kitt 2000 mashed up with the Batmobile.
Yup, The Defender. The Defender was even put together by Chrysler for the show.
The automotive equivalent of a turbocharged 86 Harley Sportster running on alcohol.
_Good luck, son_

That actually sounds like fun.....
That’s a beautiful car, all shortcomings aside. They’ll never be able to do that again in this day and age.

Pleaaaaaase turn that teenage voice into its own character. PLEASE
One of the best videos yet. I just rented a 2005 Viper on Turo last week, it was an amazing experience, everything I expected and more. I didn't feel the "this car wants to kill me," maybe that's more apparent on the first gens. You are absolutely right about it feeling turbocharged, the power just keeps on coming and coming.
No traction control, no ABS, no airbags. Hell, it was only by the intervention of Chrysler corporate that it got power steering.
I love driving first gen Vipers. Pure sex. You can feel em try to slither out from under you at responsible speeds. And that clutch!
Love all the PA references.
90s Vipers are so pretty
Dylan Joseph Potvin especially the gts models. Looks just as good if not better than anything from Italy.
I love them but I wouldn't say pretty. More like menacing. In a good way. :D
i really like your teenage voice I want a come back!
Mr. Regular need an Emmy
If the LFA was Lawful Good, the Viper is its Chaotic Evil counterpart
When I worked for A British Brand A customer Husband older Gentleman had 14 Vipers 4 were Modified by John Hennessey! 2 coupes & 2 roadsters. I road with him in the GTS Coupe over 1000 h.p. The 1/4 Mile in top 8 seconds range 😲😲😲😲😫😫😫😫😍😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😂😂😂😂😄😅😅😃😃😁
