  • Some cars are worth a 24 hour road trip! We hop in the truck and travel down to sunny Florida to pick up this heavily modified, 1200hp, twin turbo Dodge Viper. The car was tuned by Nth Moto, one of the most capable shops in the country on the Viper chassis.
    To the naked eye, this car does not look overly bad. The damage from the accident is extensive though. The further we dig, the more we find. This particular car was purchased just for parts. But, the question is, would you have fixed this car?

    • @scraplifegarage
      @scraplifegarage  Před 2 lety

      Yeah, good suggestion. It’s always a little sketchy when we have to pull motors that way. Saving grace on that forklift is that the fork tilt back very far. So, I fret gravity helping a bit.

    The Viper was the car that should have never happened. From the cheap interior to the goofy 3 spoke wheels to the poor tolerances of the front fascia/hood/head lights. It was just a modern version of the 427 Shelby Cobra. 50% of the 1000 Vipers made in 93 were crashed or totalled, this car wont tolerate stupidity. For all the bad things this car is, I just love it. Great channel btw.

    The only car more badass than a gen 2 GTS is a gen 1. Remember, when the Viper came out (29 years ago) It could run a 12.1 quarter which would smoke any Lambo or Ferrari at a fraction of their price. Is it midevil? Yes, but Dodge made a special car.

    • @scraplifegarage

    This is a CPE "Evolution Series" Viper turbo kit, not Nth. I know because I designed the cast manifolds for it. My friend, Paolo Castellano (the "C" in CPE) designed, built, and sold these. AEM infinity package from Nth and tuned by Aaron.
