      The Viper is just waiting to come back. Dodge is going to wait long enough for people to stop caring about the old V10 then realize they have a bunch of Hellcat engines laying around... So they might as well put it in something that doesnt weigh the same as a minivan.

      The Hellcat engine will never be as bullet proof as the V10, just saying from a builder's perspective. Personally if you want something down right insane but not for the faint of heart or Mopar fanboy... LS3 BiTurbo Monster with GTO manual box in a mid 90's Viper. I have a customer considering having me do the swap because I am quite good with custom wiring and Frankenstein monsters in general. Its not unheard of for guys that want to race expensive cars but keep their value up. I have assisted in LS swaps into Ferrari cars before, so they could be tracked while their factory power plants got to sit safely in some rich guy's pool house.

      Nurburgring is the home of car brands like Volkswagen, Opel, Audi, BMW, RUF, Mercedes( the winner of the last 7 seasons of formula 1), Porsche ( that alredy has the record with the 919 hybrid evo) you know, Porsche and Mercedes test everyday new prototipes on the track, the last "VIPER" went to Germany without the suppport of the factory, only a few group of fans collected the enough money to buy two Vipers ACR, without proper tires, without a proper pilot, and without enough time, the Viper got a time of 7:01 surpassing the time of cars like the Mercedes AMG GTR PRO.

      The AE86 was only for one year though and the rest of the Corrolla line was pretty lame afterwards.
      The S2000 hardly had any changes and only 2 series models AP1 and AP2 and the final year Club Racer model.
      They did the Type-R Civic with a nod to the Teggy but there are only two Tegs really to be mentioned the DC2 and the DC5 Type Rs and the rare DB8 4 door Type R which Donut didn't mention, that was the first 4 door Honda to have the Type R badge.
      The rest of your list would be nice especially the MR2 and Corvette not to mention the 911 which has to be done.

    My dad was the maintenance manager at Connor Assembly Plant up until about a year and a half ago and I always went into work with him and the amount of pride that the builders of the Viper had was insane.
    True story; one of the Viper’s road testers complained to FCA that his back hurt from driving Vipers all day (how ridiculous is that?) but rather than tell him to take a hike FCA built him a custom seat set up to prevent the pain.
    Also I was able to meet Ralph Giles four times, he has a white Viper with the license plate Voodoo and everyone who worked at the factory (including me because I happened to be there that day) signed the inside of the Decklid.

      It was so cool, the last viper ever Produced was sold to a woman named D’ann Rauh, she owns over 80 vipers and lives in Texas. The coolest part about going to work with my dad (he now works at Warren Truck) was seeing how precise the production was. They only made 3 a day because over 90% of production was by hand. To call it a factory doesn’t tell the whole story, the floors were perfectly polished everyday and there were showcars all over the place. More of a museum really, such a cool place.

I could say, that, it certainly had plenty of trunk space, even though it burned gas, had a very big gas tank, and I thought the stereo in both Vipers were freakin ROCKIN. In other words, if I had the opportunity to daily drive a Viper, I WOULD IN LESS THAN A HEARTBEAT!!! Thank you for your incredibly awesome show.

    The Viper has been my favourite car since it's debut! Back when they were filming season 2 of Viper in Calgary, they shot part of an episode in my home town, Airdrie (just north of Calgary). Our local Ford dealer had just moved to a huge new location, and they blew up the service centre for the episode. I got to be there for the explosion, and they also ended up doing a night shoot that my buddy and I stumbled across by the local Dodge dealer. My friend and I got to sit in the Viper Defender (the silver version) and meet Jeff Kaake, who drove the car in the show. I used to have a signed headshot with Viper branding on it, but I lost it ages ago.

      All i'm saying is that poor sales doesn't mean it's ugly. There are many examples of beautiful exotic cars that didn't sell at all. It happens.
      While the new viper is not as distinctive as the old one, the base shape is there and it's just more angry because people like angry cars nowadays. It's not that it's uglier than the previous models, just different. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder anyway.

    You could cover rumors that they ended Viper because of safety regulations

    • @potjnkye86
      @potjnkye86 Před 6 lety +27

      Krzysztof Dolecki rumors and facts are two different things and yes it is true that the Viper is a dangerous car to drive if you don't know how to drive just like the high-power Mustangs. Just look on CZcams how many people have wrecked a Mustang because they had 500 horsepower at their foot and did not know how to drive properly

      @potjnkye86 Před 6 lety +6

      Krzysztof Dolecki but then he stated when the ACR came out that's when the Viper really shined 1/16 of 18 races remind you of other cars like the Ford GT40 that Smackdown those European Ferraris and Lamborghinis back in the 60s or 70s as for the new Ford GT I love The Styling but hate the fact that they put a V6 in it even though it's twin-turbocharged who puts a V6 in a hypercar

      The safety concern is more about the fact that they couldn't fit the proper airbags into the car. (Nitro)

      The viper in NFS HP2 was fast but always spun out in the turns. Wasn't even surprised when he mentioned its oversteer issue.

      In NFS Carbon, fully upgraded viper had the FASTEST ACCELERATION!!!!!. TAKING OUT LAMBO MURCILAGO, AUDI QUATTRO.
      I had it (NFS), and when at the starting line I put nos energy and it will rocket to 120 kmph in uper 2 sec !!
      That thing launches like a rocket when it is launched.

    Addressing your point on Ralph Gilles, he actually was on the team that designed the original viper, I have rode in his 2016 dodge viper, not just any viper, it is the first 2016 dodge viper to roll off the production line. I managed to do this since he is my uncle. He probably got pushed by other executives to make up an excuse for cancelling the project.
