Talking about the new Huracan replacement here: • We slept in the WORST ... - Auta a dopravní prostředky
April and I talk about the new Lamborghini Huracan replacement, and slept in the most haunted hotel in America: czcams.com/video/F9dLgQx1F1s/video.html --Give it a watch on my NEW CHANNEL and let me know what you think! The car content is never going to stop, but after 8 years, I wanted to try something new, and I'm really enjoying it so far! I'll answer as many comments on the other video as I can.
I'm sure your kids love your new channel.

Choose cars like you chose women, Hovie? Body work above all else.
Please teach April that she doesn’t have to interact with your every word on the podcast. All the “mm-hmms” and “right”s need to stop.

For only $1300 more (plus labor), I’d just go with the new shocks and not have to worry about how hard the used set was driven. Or shop around for aftermarket.
Looks like BC Racing makes some. Maybe others.
It would be about $2k more. That $4,000 number Wizard said was just for parts. and the $2750 used number included install. But I agree. I wouldnt do used either way
@@waynecarr9150 $500 per wheel used, $750 labor.
BC or KW Variant 3 is $2454 so only $500 more would be the way to go.
seems retarded to buy used wear parts, especially for a vehicle so prone to collision
@@waynecarr9150 so 4750 with labor
Saw BC coilovers were cheaper than used shocks. Ordered those instead!
Had them on my 3rd gen and was really happy with them.
Also for the rears you can get Kumho ecsta v720 acr, which are 335/30zr19 that stay really planted for about 470, per. Best tire I put on my 3rd gen.
Hey Hoovie, i recently picked up an 04 Viper a few months ago and have been loving it. The stock shocks are known to leak and cause the poor ride. I switched to a set pf BC Racing coilovers for $1400 and the car rides perfectly now. Absolutely love these cars!
This is exactly what I was thinking.....
Instead of used shocks and struts.....
But then he would complain the ride is harsh.....
Some people can accept aftermarket parts are sometimes a trade-off, while others aren't willing to compromise,(or just want to whine about it on the internet)....and they aren't Giving up ride quality for performance handling.
I still remember trying to sell a EF hatch Honda with a b18, but it has polyurethane front end, link style strut rod, and tein coilovers. Everyone who test drove it said, "it rides like shit"
Until one guy showed up and said, "this thing is so responsive, like a gocart....."
It just depends on what you want to do.
Basically already has coilovers. I have BCs on my gen 1. Check on prices for those. Very adjustable.
I don’t know why aftermarket shocks are always too hard. I would love to fit better suspension than stock but could never live with the ride.
Imagine being the previous owner and seeing Hoovie calling you “a complete idiot” I’m not sure if I’d be offended or honored, HA!!
I mean, Hoovie bought it so who's the idiot?
@@loomspace Tbf given that this kind of content helps Hoovie generate some money.. I’d still say the previous owner lol
@loomspace he bought it at an auction. There's an element of gambling in his defence.
Plus his main defence is that he's getting rich by making videos of his 'errors'
@@loomspace Completely depends on how much he paid for it.
@@procatprocat9647 Do we know how much he paid for it?
I don't think I would install used shocks. I'd check out aftermarket options from Bilstein or another well known name.
I think you should dyno it maybe find out whats done to it before reverting any of the mods
That’s exactly what I was thinking !!!
Maybe after replacing the tires, these aren't holding traction.
That would be interesting to see
Dynamic it and remap it to make it more drivable
Yeah I’ve dynod about 10 of these 2003- 2005s , they made about 420-430hp to the wheels stock.
Former owner of a 2003 and 2013 Viper heres. Nice purchase, needs a little TLC. That oil seepage is most likely the oil cooler line - an issue from the Gen 3 onward. Both of mine did it, as they all do sooner or later. If you replace them with OEM lines, will do it again. There are aftermarket alternative which won't.
Yep..👍
Also, a 2004 issue only: check the crank bolt, they tend to back off. That one year only, Dodge used a smaller bolt.
Yupp going to to replace the lines on my gen v this winter. Other wise this car hasn’t skipped a beat in the 20k miles of abuse I’ve given it. Oh and the stupid crappy window regulators
Aftermarket shocks would also be new and likely cheaper
Always love when people change out factory parts that eat shit with factory parts..... "I use only factory parts on my car!", you didn't learn the first time it failed at 20k miles? lol
I love the fact it sounds exactly like a straight piped volvo 5 cylinder. Which is quite bad news on car with 5 more cylinders lol
Most inline 5s sound like baby v10s
Well, it is like 2 V70s reving side by side without a cross pipe
@@hknuutti8137ha ha! (You stole my thunder HK, I was going to say exactly the same! ) best regards buddy!
Lolll
To be fair the exhausts never overlap and go into the other side, so you are only ever hearing 5 at a time lol
I do love the Wizards dry humor. "Yeah the shocks are 1k each, see were closing in on the snake" LOL 10K. You guys are great together. Never stop, just keep on keeping on, I do love these repaire quote segments.
same, his little dry jokes that he slips in are great.
Yeah or in one of the previous videos about his farm hoovie asked "what should i plant here" and wizard was like "i would tell you but its illegal" or something among those lines😂😂😂
For $10K, that snake better be able to suck start a Harley.
You can get a set of BC coil overs for it for under $1.500.00 and really improve the suspension so you can have adjustable height and compression/rebound. Once the Wizzard has the new cats on I'd have someone re-tune it.
Not anymore you can’t. I think the cheapest I’ve found is 1750 for BC
Hoovie looks healthier and seems like he's been hitting the gym. Great to see you more active and lively.
He's hitting it alright ! LMAO !🤣
motivation is a great thing
@@claverhouse1woah
I noticed that too. Definitely added some muscle. First Moog, now Hoovie. Must be something special in the Automotive Creator water around the world.
@@RandomGuyDan What happened to Moog?
That exhaust is supposed to crossover in the rear. Left side engine exits on the right and vice/versa. There is also a small crossover pipe to equalize the sound (like an H pipe). Just doing that alone will make the existing exhaust sound better!
Going for a pretty dark period with anxiety and depression. Just wanted to say thank you to Tyler and the car wizard for making me smile
I have a friend going thru this - stay strong man. Maybe Vice Grip Garage can give you a lift. cheers.
seek the light my friend, feel better soon.😊
Great to see you're bouncing back, Tyler! I wish you all the best from the Netherlands!
Hoovie's child support payments have to be huge, though.... we support you Hoovie
Yeah Hoovie fanclub Nederland!
self employed so its just what he declares as earnings, so if he keeps it all in the business it doesn't count. A farm is a business property...he's not that silly.@@definitelyannpc2038
Hoi Nederlands!
Wij Nederlanders van kaas en klompen, haha.
Do some aftermarket coils or something vs OEM for the suspension!
Good wishes your way Tyler. Your content is continuing on a high level
Have to say, you can hear both banks individual, and revving it sounds just like the volvo inline 5 without a muffler, which sound pretty good in my oppinion, although it needs some mufflers
Hoovie never misses does he!
If he does , he just goes out and buys a land rover or BMW and the balance totbhe force is restored.

It is amazing to me that they managed to get so little horsepower out of so many liters
I know 😂
"how do they get such little power out of a V8 motor" Jeremy Clarkson
There's a lot to be said for an understressed engine (keep in mind that the Chrysler V10 is originally a truck motor).
Well, if you want more horsepower, you can make it. How much do you want to spend? It's 512 cubic inches, so almost 1 hp/cubic inch - and reliable all day long. If you want to turbocharge your wimpy 4-cylinder and feel superior, go right ahead.
@@fritsmolenaar05 7 liter V8 modur..
I love the parts sharing Chrysler had going on back in the day. My dad’s old 2002 Jeep Liberty had the EXACT same radio 😂
The Hoovie videos are a perfect blend. Starting a new channel won’t be the same or as good as your current video style
Just bringing a new loved one in a new channel, may become a slippery terrain. IMO
Hoovie might want to go aftermarket and get some adjustable coil-overs for about half the price of what Wizard is quoting.
Being Irish I have always loved American Cars and the Viper is just one of those Magical cars. Mid -Life Crisis I might get one. Love the vids :)
Are there any dodge vipers in Ireland ? 7 litres of displacement and €8.40 per gallon is not ideal. 😢
@@myob3339believe it or not it gets better fuel economy than a lotus esprit at the time
They are massive, and tiny inside, also they are not brilliant on uneven roads.
The simplicity of these is their greatness.
Amazing... Only 30,000 miles, and it's already rusting...
The miracle of Chrysler...
Depends also on the owner. I see 2020-2021 vehicles that are already rusting out cause every road in my state gets salted once the snow hits and maybe said former owner said screw it and drove it in winter.
@@thesovietvorona1007 Yeah I know. It's amazing. They can start rusting while still sitting on the dealer lots.
Somebody told me it's because Chrysler paint sucks. The person who told me that works at Chrysler's paint shop.
@@Xplasma1 that’s not the only reason. Worked at an oil shop for a year. I’ve seen winter dailies that are forty with no frame rust (Volvo mostly) and new barely off the lot vehicles like F-150s already getting rust started. Every company outside of mainly Volvo uses somewhat subpar steel and it rusts quickly so that you have to get a new car sooner. If they still made things how they did before the idea of monopolizing an entire market existed we’d have cars that lasted for more than a decade. Let alone a few decades or more.
@@Xplasma1I can vouch for that, I've never been overly impressed with my new chrystler's paint jobs but for some reason I keep buying them.. thankfully I don't live in a salt state so I don't have to worry about that. Sadly finding my "dream truck" is going to be difficult to find not rusted/250k miles/completely thrashed, and yes it's another chrystler..
I will say atleast it's better then the paint from the 90s which had a habit of just falling off
This is my favorite kind of Hoovie. Dealing with sketchy and expensive cars.
can't wait for the tractor rebuild. what a cool guy Dave was
My 2004 Viper is such a treat (and tastefully modded). I think this is the best value sports car that has held value so well. Enjoy and it's cool to see a car I own on the channel 🐍
I want that gen viper. They’re crazy cool and reliable plus they’re cheaper than like a new mustang dark horse or any other new car with 500HP. Super underrated car
You can buy BC coilovers for the car! They’re around $1400 or so for the gen 3 my car came with them from factory.
Also for tires I highly suggest the kumho ecsta ACR tires. Hook up insanely well!
Makes me extremely happy you got a gen 3! I got mine now 3 years ago and it’s such a dream (with its issues)
Giving the gen 3 the love it deserves!
Fun fact- without the GEN 3 there would be no SLS AMG. If you look at the test car for the SLS it’s basically a long viper, and that same design inspired the AMG GT! You have 2 of the best cars that came out with the Daimler Chrysler group haha
Also my car is completely straight piped and I love the sound. I guess it’s all subjective 🤣
Good friend of mine has a 3rd Gen Viper and I love that thing. It's so brash and savage, it's one of the most insane cars I've ever been in, though he also has the V8 Ariel Atom and I rode in that right after the Viper and it scrambled my brain.
This feels like the obvious purchase to make when you have a new blonde in your life to take flying down the road, hair blowing in the wind.
Pretty soon, she'll be blowing through his bank account.
You should probably retune on the dyno after the cats are put back in, plus who knows how good or bad the old tune was.
So lame to put the cats back in it. His oldness is showing with that decision.
Love the 3rd gen, excellent looking cars. Look forward to you fixing this one.
Give Shaikh at fat cat a call about the shocks. Performance shocks will leak earlier than most OEM stuff because they prioritize reducing stiction.
Go with BC Racing Coil overs on the Viper. Improve handling and have an adjustable ride height and quality for a lot less.
$800 for an oil change/fluids? 11 quarts of engine oil, gearbox oil, and differential oil. I get my full synthetic oil at Walmart for $21 per 5 quarts, so about $45 there. Trans and differential fluid plus friction modifier - maybe another $50 for those fluids. Where's the other $700 coming from? Buy the fluids and get your new chippy to do it for you; she seems up for it...
You're a tad light on your prices, but the bill does seem expensive. A local indy shop quoted me $200 to change the oil in my BMW Z4 a decade ago. Nope. I made some ramps out of 2x10s and I've been doing my own oil changes on everything, since. Between 4 vehicles, I've saved thousands.
Does seem expensive but I just spent nearly $200 on gearbox oil alone for Motul300.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH Yes, I was off by about $20, so $680 less to do it yourself. Maybe it'll take an hour.
@@richieduck67 Viper takes 4 quarts of synthetic ATF+4 is about $8/quart/$32. 1.5 quarts of gear oil plus friction modifier. Hoovie is getting beaten either way.
yay my man tyler is back with a lot of bangs both in life and cars
20:50 you are not wrong about those ev part prices esp batteries but those are current prices I just took a short course on ev repair and the instructor mentioned that in the next few years your average shop should be able to preform bat swaps and your larger shops should be able to replace individual battery cells.
You should def make the Lamborghini tractor shiny. It's the right thing to do.
Not the done thing with tractors...very passe.
They should wear their history...
I'd go for the patina. Get it sorted out running new, and use it for a tractor.
I'd clean up the rust best you can with the old metal. And throw a coat of paint on it. Still honor the old steel while preserving it for the future.
I definitely second the thought that you should dyno the Viper and show power gains over stock!
That KITT replica at the Wizard's instantly caught me eye, it's so beautiful.
i LOVE a classic Hoovie rescue - idgaf about the morning show stuff tho lol
I love that he always makes it seem like he was screwed over by the person he bought it from. Like everyone's a professional mechanic and knows anything about how a car works, and purposefully leaves out info. I bet everyone he buys from watches these and is like, "how would I know that? I'm an accountant."
It’s for entertainment. He doesn’t bug the seller with any of the drama entertainment content as far as we’ve seen.
You cant believe that even accounts defer scheduled maintenance? Believe it
Love the tractor. I'd fix it up to be a runner and then slowly fix it up obviously new tires and gold Dayton wheels first lol.
I considered buying this gen Viper post-COVID when I was looking for a weekend toy. The torque is intoxicating. Got my 06 911 S instead. Living in Arizona at the time with the great mountain twisties was the tipping point.
Hoovie having an insane midlife crisis rn. I love it
In the world of Vipers, nothing beats the second gen
except every gen after it 🤣😂
@@commonsenseisdeadin2024 just because a band released a good album, doesn't mean all their albums are good
@@mirthenary I was making a funny because every Gen beat the previous out of the box!
Also don't all the fast 2nd gens have 5th Gen engines? 😂
If you haven't caught on yet, I'm being am asshole..... However then again, I'm not wrong 🤔
@@mirthenary just because a band released a good song, doesn't mean the album is good.
A "good album" is a stretch.... Nowadays for sure.
You know what they say about ASSumptions...Gen 2s cannot be topped. Ive had all Gens aside from G3 and cant get enough Gen 2 RT10. They rock
So good to see gen 3 Vipers getting more and more exposure. So underrated
Welcome back glad to see your smiling again . Good for you. God Bless.
Tyler's the type of guy who drives with the parking brake on! 😂
Definitely a trade up, Tyler…and the Viper is ok, too…😂
These are some of the most reliable sports cars. They are truly bulletproof. Even more so than a corvette. And extremely cheap and easy to work on.
Wow! great to see the Alfa Romeo Milano (75 here in the uk) in the shop. I had one of these back in the 90s a 3.0 V6 a fantastic car wish I still had it. But here in the UK they are so rare now you just don't see them.
17:10 there should be a video of taking the Viper to a dyno to check HP and tune drivability
You should consider preserving the lambo tractor as is. The patina is cool and it'll be less expensive
A really great video on a car that needs some upgrading either new parts. Hoovie is back on fire and April is a wonderful addition. Go for it
Always find the 6 lugs to be so odd on a small sports car
Have you ever seen a Dodge Viper in person?
They can hardly be considered a "SMALL" sports car and a more akin to supercars.
@@williamegler8771a 911 is longer than a viper. The viper hood proportions makes the car look large
@@williamegler8771a 2004 Mustang, for example, is almost a foot longer than this Viper
Let me pull the window up then proceeds to push the pedal 😂 gotta love hoovie
Man those old Chrysler interiors were something. That manual shifter couldn't look more out of place. 😂
You should upgrade to a new set of Coilover suspension. They’ll have a a warranty and make the car feel way more stable
The new channel is a great idea. I'm subscribed and have watched the first two episodes and like everything with one exception. April needs to meet my cat Thomas to change her opinion of cats
Hoovie, can you enlighten us as to what pinball and racing games are in the back corner near the Trans Am? I can make out Outrun 2 but am at a loss as to the others. Thanks for the fun content!
U need to let ur crush to drive it
Soooooo Hoovie from start to end. Love it.
make that tractor purdy there farmer hoovie! it would look sooo cool all freshened up!
I live in new Orleans, that Barrett Jackson auction was fun.
love how the radio is out ofa dodge dokota lol
Omg! Never thought Wizard would be on MorphMarket hahaha. I keep snakes so that was a funny unexpected surprised! GTPs are very beautiful for sure. Not easy to keep tho haha
Awesome! Especially in the rare best color black! Just beautiful Tyler. Thanks
Your new Lambo have more and more in common with Ed's from first Car Trek. Both blue and both had water insted of oil in front diferential 🤣
The wizard must rub his hands together when he sees you coming😂😂
You should have crazy d fully do up that tractor. It's not usually my type of content, but seems super interesting.
U mean heavy d?
8:00 There goes 5% just for new tires! 😆
Nice that Wizard jumped to the hyper car version of a snake, LOL. They are stupid expensive, very very fragile and super expensive up keep
It's definitely leaking some type of fluid. As Hoovie drives way, you can see something on the concrete
800 bucks for oil change?
Used suspension for 2500?
Cheesh with friends like this, who needs enemies.
Maybe get a set of coilovers
Try the BC Racing coilovers for the viper!
Love seeing KITT just sitting in the background at the Wizard's
I'd really like to see that Viper sorted. Those shocks are a rediculus price. Are there any after-market shocks that can do the job just as well or better for aa whole lot less money?
the older vipers are death traps ..but man are they fun ❤
Cracks me up that the center cluster display and switches are exactly the same as our base model early 2000’s Dodge Caravan fleet vehicles at work.
Did someone cave in the speaker grill between the seats?
thats a nice lawn mower you got there for your new farm.
I've owned more than a dozen Corvettes. I got a wild hair years ago and test-drove a couple of Vipers.
I couldn't believe those things were street-legal. The tires broke loose when given the slightest bit of gas.
The car is so wide, it fully takes up half the road, leaving no room for error.
As a bonus, the car is bare bones with no modern amenities. For all this, you get to pay a huge premium.
BC Racing coilovers for the Viper are $1,400 for the set. Not saying that the exact way to go about it but since the car is already modified I'd consider koni or bilstein shocks or a medium quality coilover kit.
I'de go with new aftermarket coilovers all around. Gotta be cheaper. Go new anyway! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
That was a great video. Thanks for sharing this with us.
People forget the viper was Carroll Shelby's bonkers creation when Dodge finally took the leash off him & his team. It's going to feel raw and unrefined. It was 100% meant to be, just like the AC Cobra cars. Sledgehammer for the track. Total F.U. power on tap (keep in mind the era and how slow cars were then). We're spoiled by today's offerings in this modern golden age of horsepower and it takes away from the experience of older legend/hero cars. Enjoy the car for what it is, and not what you think it should be.... after fixing the prior owner's eff-ups, of course. lol
Good lord. Reading the complaints of these cars being loose. I have 30+ years driving dirt roundy round cars. 600 hp with 8" tires. Also had a 2800lb weight rule for some events . The tire rule was meant to be our equalizer. So in my eyes the viper handles and bites fantastic. Try throttle modulation. Drive the darn thing. Ok all, be safe and healthy.
Ken Schrader taught Tony Stewart how there's 1,000 throttle positions on every car. Trophies never lie. 🏁🏆
More work for Omega, David will be happy!
You seem to have a knack of buying cars with plenty of issues.
spending a fortune fixing them and then selling the car.
At least you keep Omega in work.
I was kinda thinking about checking out your other channel....but yup there is a "D" in the background so as a Trek fan the answer is an emphatic yes.
I'm not a fan of black sports cars. They get very hot in the sun. A Viper should be red or green. Glad to hear that the exhaust is a simple fix. Anyone else notice the beautiful Alfa at 9:50? I wonder who's Alfa Romeo 75/Milano is in the shop. It's one of my dream cars. Thanks.
I had a 3rd gen Viper for a week (press car). It was a handful. The last day I had it, it started to rain on my way to the office. That was scary.
Hoovie is up right now, good for you dude
I'm quite surprised there is not aftermarket suspension options for a reasonable price.
Do Coil overs the tune up fluids etc. Better be plugs and wire and Coil packs.
Honestly I like the noise of it, I could still hear you talking. Hoping you’re using this in the next cartrek
Double adjustable performance shocks made with modern technology are only $400 each. Plus they'll give it a much better ride while also handle batter.
I had a couple of Alfa Milano’s. Loved them!
Have you raced it through a new construction residential neighborhood yet? Gotta go 3fast 3furious tokyo drift with this one😂
