if you look at the scene where he puts on a face of speed and goes full throttle, but engages second gear, hahahah it reminded me of the Ali G parody with the renault5
Yes and they run for miles neck by neck on an open road, while the weakest Viper could do almost 270 kilometres in an hour. The Viper-driver knows, it is no use rushing, he must have read the script or what :P
@@pisti801227 '67 GTX had 2 engine options, a 375hp 440 and a 425 hp 426 Hemi. ..the Hemi was advertised at 425 hp..which it did make..at 5,200 RPM. At 6,100 RPM it made 500 hp. Ofc those are the old gross numbers, not net..so..basically then fairly similar to that gen Viper in pwr. They're both powerful cars.
i dont think a Viper would skid like that at 30 mph..had to be at least 60 mph, but yeah, they were by no means hitting the speeds these two beasts could hit..not even close, lol.
I remember this show. Completely corny looking back on it now, but this was genius marketing on the part of Dodge to inject the Viper into the public consciousness.
How anyone can remember one of the worst shows around is amazing. It was so bad that I saw only 2 or 3 episodes and quit. It's TERRIBLE. Just a lousy 47 minute ad for Chrysler products.
@@largol33t1 I mean, it sounds like YOU remember it 😉 I was still a kid at the time, and any show using CG effects in the 90’s was cool in our book. And yes, it was a commercial, which was the whole point of my comment.
@@largol33t1 I know when shows gets worse when boasting gets too much! We should be lucky and enjoy this video coz we are getting to see Viper not Hyundai! Disastrous era, Lambo market killed Viper's market! 😓
@@largol33t1 Depends viper had 2 maybe 3 versions. 1 he was the driver from the start as a cop and another it rebooted like mid series with him being some bad ass criminal driver with amnesia. I forget which was first and i think there was a 3rd version as well.
@@crimsonlight4205 the show lost money but I’d almost bet the sales of vipers increased a least a little and sales of Chrysler in general increased. All the Chrysler products doing cool shit on your TV every week. Of course it’s going to do a bump in sales.
It's so pitty that gray prototype never went to at least limited production. The body shape, front fascia... that design is timeless! Would be staring at SEMA if some top workshop would replicate it ...
Really dont think 'Timeless' is a word to describe it. I cant think of too much else less timeless, maybe the XJ220. Not that it looks bad, It just looks very much set in its own era.
Damn what a nostalgia watching this. I live in UK now, but used to live in Poland and as a teenager it was one of the top shows among Dragon Ball or Power Rangers. Every kid dreamed of having a Viper, so every kid had one on their shelf in either 1/24 or 1/18 scale by BBURAGO. It was one of those cars which you would hang on your wall, next to a Ferrari F40, Countach, Xj220 or McLaren F1. Somehow these days it feels like the car was forgotten about. Thanks for the video tho
Hot dang, you had a model car Viper, too? I had... I think, maybe three? A model kit I built with my dad, another 1/24 that came with a Dodge Ram, and a 1/18th standalone.
Same here, had one next to my Cobra R type and a few others. I also had a calender with a bunch of exotics and supercars from that time. It had the Viper, the Mclaren F1, and the Ford GT90 prototype.
I've noticed that the Hemi GTX in this show/movie has the same sound as some muscle cars in GTA San Andreas,like the Hotknife for example,that one is the most recognizable XD,love that game...
Never expected for somebody to notice that. Yes, it's the sound that was also in the 3D univers era of GTA. The BF Injection from GTA VC had the same sound.
Trivia: These are sounds recorded from a Shelby Cobra then edited for higher pitch. These sound files were later used for the Hotknife in GTA San Andreas.
I saw this in passing on the TV like 20something years ago. It popped into my mind a few times since and I finally found it. Looked so much better on a CRT lmao
67 gtx hemi 425 hp @ 3999 lbs. 93 viper rt/10 400 hp @ 3457 lbs. So in reality it'd be a pretty close race until there were corners involved. And aerodynamics. Oh who are we kidding? We all know the GTX would get smoked. Good thing they both have 65 speed gear boxes.
Net vs gross, though both the bb hemi and Viper V10 are some of the relatively few engines to be significantly under rated from the factory for various reasons. And for a bunch of reasons besides just power the viper is way faster, though it wouldn't take much prep to get a stock gyx down to a similar range.
Exhaust and tune on the viper would free up a lot of ponies. Saw a video where a guy did that to a 90s viper rt/10 and dude freed up tons of hp with the right tune
I remembered this show and how cool it was, but NOW 😳! The graphics, that weak ass engine noise, the car kit that looked incredibly tight and uncomfortable 😣, ugh!!! Dodge’s attempt to be like Knight Rider.
Also I just noticed They used stock sound effects because the original audio was just wind as you could imagine The viper wasnt a very loud car and neither was the gtx going at 50 mph The gtx uses a stock car sound from a ford model A I think Its a hotrod
Anyone else seen that CZcamsr who raced just about everything with a stock viper and won? Meanwhile old mate needs his viper to morph to beat a clapped hemi.
Fun fact. Every last car used in this series was a Dodge. Even background traffic was kept to a minimum so no other manufacturer would get screen time. This series was made for Mopar fans by James Bond fans
I can't believe this show would drive me nuts tryna find it as a kid, I grew up on "knight rider" so this was jus bada$$.... looking back at it now LoL sweet Jesus this show was so lame but for us kids growing up in 90's this was family TV time. Good times✌👌👏👍👍
LOVED THIS SHOW TOO, MY DAD HAD THAT SAME 1967 WITHOUT THE GUNS THOUGH... BUT CANDY APPLE RED, BACK THEN HAD TO WAIT 3 MONTHS FOR IT TO ARRIVE, AND.... $3800.....NEW!!!! $3800....!!! UNREAL...!
I love how after 2 minutes of full throttle they're only going 40mph
0-60 in 5 minutes flat
In 90s cars were way slower than today🤣😂
@@johnd4788 lol
90’s gold
It’s like the most leisurely drag race ever
This is the most intense 50mph race ever.
I counted 88 gears on the GTX
It Ain't No Normal GTX hahah
Fucking truck transmission in there
😅
so this is where Toretto got his transmission :D
this is how Toyota's CVT was born
I can imagine the director: Drive real slow but pretend you're going as fast as you can.
But as a child of I saw this scene I'd of been glued and in love...with the viper
Dude that was 300 miles per our !
No problem... i used to drive hondas lol
@@nickmartinez5644 but you doing it with proud !

When it morphed when we were kids we would lose our minds that how cool it was lol
True
Hell yeah, like megazord or iron man lol
Oh yeah
I never thought the morphing was that worse. But though I was a kid back then.
Nah i was 18 when i saw it however its my favorite show but season 1 was the best
This is where my love for the dodge viper began lol
Same reason, still love the Viper specifically the GTS Coupe
Me too
Same here!
same
Yep
That guy is lucky he wasn't racing Charlie Sheen in the Turbo Interceptor
The Wraith. Such an iconic classic
The wraith would have drove right through him
Legendary
I went crazy when Joe Astor came back... Mcaffrey has such charisma
@@MoparRican_93 ironically, also a Chrysler design lol
Trying to make car chases exciting with shifting gears and camera work all at 30 mph. Lol.
Yes and they run for miles neck by neck on an open road, while the weakest Viper could do almost 270 kilometres in an hour. The Viper-driver knows, it is no use rushing, he must have read the script or what :P
But I worked for me 😁

Ya i think i saw him shift the viper at like 4k rpm lol
Man this guy is a legend he's able to control the power of the first gen viper which as we all know is a death machine on wheels
He's doing like, 30 miles an hour lmao
The jump was impressive
Easiest fix ever once done those vipers are untouchable
It’s really not. That’s just a tall tale.
Well he is Thomas cole security driver for the president once so he is qualified
"Maybe if I purge the tanks" lmfaooooooo
As John tron once said
“You could…..you could do that. But why? Why would you do that?
Maybe that worked back then, but have you seen how much gas costs now on days?? That's crazy insane.
If he would actually floor it, he would have some fun purging the tank...🤐

When I was a kid watching this show, I noticed that majority of cars were Dodge, Plymouth, and Eagle....and Chrystler which was the parent company.
That was the point. The show was made to showcase their cars and as a publicity move for the new Viper.
Eagle Talons are fuckin beautiful
The show was financed by Chrysler... They paid for everything lost money every season.
Same with the movie Wraith, dodge wasnt exactly smart with their money but damn it if they didn’t nail that one

Idk about timeless but its sick.
Mercedes AMG GT!)
@Pumpkin Spice he means the defender mode version. That car is one of a kind.
Oh how Rockstar had a field day with this engine sound for the Sabre Turbo in Vice city lmao 😂😅
I Was Just Going To Say. That Must Have Been Like A Universal Engine Audio Sample Used By Many haha
One of my favorite cars in the game. The Sabre
Also James McCafrey
@@salvatorehayes2753 the source was sound ideas and it has been identified

Now i know where The Fast & the Furious got their inspiration from 😂
You mean the *PS2 Spy Hunter* games.
@@issabeganovic8822Yep!
😂😂
The Viper looked nuts after it transformed. Probably one of the coolest TV cars, moreso than KITT imho.
Yep the defender design is dope but i never notice since now it has not exterior rear view mirrors 😆
Trivia: These are sounds recorded from a Shelby Cobra then edited for higher pitch. These sound files were later used for the Hotknife in GTA San Andreas.
Thought they sounded familiar
The shelby corba was used for the hotring vehicles. The sound used for the hotknife was from a hotrod.
The hemi’s GTX Engine sound was used in gta games for cars like bf injection , sabre turbo , cuban hermes , diablo stallion , polaris v8 (vcs)
It's so bad but I can't stop watching.
I saw this in passing on the TV like 20something years ago. It popped into my mind a few times since and I finally found it.
Looked so much better on a CRT lmao
The morphed viper still looks futuristic today
yeah, that damn car is timeless.
The future looks pretty gay
The K.I.T.T.stang have the same thing
Man this was such a cool show. I miss the 90's.
Now I know where they got the *Spy Hunter* design from...
Damn, they could’ve just showed a regular race, that viper would’ve stomped the gtx lol
My favorite show when I was a kid, that’s a sports/muscle legend.
2:53 someone need to replicate this scene on Blender using a scale model.
I remember watched this when i was kid, my adrenaline was pumping saw this scene, LOL
Ohhh snaps I use to love this show
That cgi viper...lmao, then it transformed into a banshee from grand theft auto 3 😁
Speaking of GTA, isn't that GTX engine sound the same that was in Sabre Turbo from GTA VC?🤔
Yes and it sounds first like the "Diablo" in GTA III
100% I remember it well. Also They all get their sound effects from the same bin of stock sound effects
@@danielkaminski8312 yes ironically
@@ryurc3033 yes. Even driver San Francisco had same engine sounds
My man thought he had him with the grill gats until his viper went full auto transformers LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
My favorite show growing up....
The post transformation viper looks a bit like a koinegsegg.
0:30 Cruising at 15 mph, good boys.
I love how the GTX has the same sound of the muscle cars of GTA 3
it´s actually the opposite - your Kiddie game imitates the Sound of the real car....
Damn this feels older than i am.tganks for the memories. Dodge Viper was one of my top three favorite cars, alongside the Corvette and mustang.
What a race! Obeying the speed limit and everything!
A lot of people don’t realize the gen 1 viper had fold out armor and self healing fuel lines
Wow there really is a show called Viper, I thought that was a joke till I clicked the link 😂
2:04 --- Michael??? Are you alright, Michael???
Lol yea
Loved this show and loved seeing the car being towed around Vancouver on flatbeds going to set
It was this show which introduced me to play Gran Turismo on PSone.
67 gtx hemi 425 hp @ 3999 lbs.

It was a roadster after all

The gtx uses a stock car sound from a ford model A I think
Its a hotrod
The sound of the Viper rev. HOTTT. To bad it's not the real Viper sound
It morphs into the actual concept car. Pretty cool
I remember this show it made me want a viper so bad
OMG I used to watch this show when I was 10 I just can't believe they stop showing it
had a nice 70 Olds Cutlass 442 in "Black Cat Run", and i remember my favorite as a kid was the 69 Camaro from "Tuff Turf" back in the good days lol
Taking your kids to school at 50 km per hour and telling them man it's a circuit drag going on ... 🤣
Is this a cruising contest?
That Memories my friends. Thanks.

0:37 sounds like the same generic muscle car noises from the older GTA games.

Wow this brings back Hella memories
They're racing like two tractor trailers trying to pass each other on the highway.
I finally found my copy of this badass series which I loved and still do to this very day
Love how they were chasing each other but no one was full throttle until many many gears down the road? Huh? 😵
Lol totally remember this when I was a kid. Made me OBSESSED with everything viper
That was a fantastic av project those children made
The challenge: Who can lose control of the throttle first
A Viper doesn't need to be shot to run off the road.
I'm seriously geeking out, this show is up there on the list of reasons I'm a car nerd
Used to love this show haha
That GTX is way too valuable to be driven like that.
Mschine gun is like 007's Db5
I remember this was awesome
It's crazy how long it's been since the original fast n furious premiered
Still love the first gen Vipers
Это трейлер Форсажа 10?! 😂😁👏
Wow, something's are better left forgotten...
Beste Serie. Nur schade das sie nicht auf Bluray gibt 😢
They even made a few toys to this show, an RC car and Slot Car track.

Back when the show was about to come out they did a tour to show the cars off and promote the show I still have a shirt that the 2 leads signed.
That silver viper looks so fruturistic even now
Whoa cool me gustó el video 👍👍👍👍
This reminded me of test drive 4 game intro
This show! I forgot about it!
Anybody notice it goes from sunny, to cloudy, to sunny, to cloudy again all in a matter of seconds throughout the video? Lol
What a car!!!! I like the Vipers!!
Welp, I guess I’m gonna watch this series for a while now
this and air-wolf were my childhood :)
Was this filmed in Alberta??
This was glorious, amazing 90’s-00’s era 3D trash and I love it.😌🤌🏾
Definitely seems like "The Wraith" if it became a TV series!
Totally forgot about this show when I was a kid. Good memories it brings. Not about the show though! Just life as a kid lol.
Suspension of disbelief is a helluva drug
I have no clue what this is or what's going on but I'm on the floor
