- While in Texas for TX2K, we headed to Calvo Motorsport in Austin to catch up with Antonio Calvo and talk about Dodge Vipers. He talks about how his business started, how awesome twin turbo Vipers are, their pros and cons and gives us a tour of the shop.
Thanks to @ThatRacingChannel for the extra footage

Anyone who describes a car by going “baaah baaaah baaah” is a real car guy
Also a diagnostic tool.
What did it for me was making 3000whp and getting hit in the arm with an exploding turbocharger
@@JH-jo9wtand absolutely proud about it 😂
Best Viper tuner. Period.
Antonio is like a mad scientist super villain when it comes to Viper builds! I can't wait to get my own viper tuned up like this one day!
"They just have a little stripe and thingys on it and they are called that" lmao
He knows mad shit
There's obviously some serious respect for the Aussie Manufacturers - so good to see 👍
He built a turbo kit that went 7s first time out. For those that know, that’s insane!
What an absolutely cool guy Antonio is. You can always tell how much someone really knows their stuff and Calvo is definitely those people. such clean builds, clean power from humble people.
If I come into a large sum of money I will be getting a Calvo Viper car.
man is living life in slow motion after driving that beast
Antonio is the kinda guy we’re all scared of but love at the same time.
You guys killed it with all these US shop vids...love it!
Interview Hector and his Honda civic !
We need more dudes like this.
12:38 having a turbo spit shrapnel at you and be proud of it is next level passion
Man! I enjoyed that! Thanks for putting it together. What an interesting guy. The Viper platforms they are developing are truly special on so many levels.
Cheers from Australia 👍👍🍻
Very cool, Antonio. I wish we had a company like yours here in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
You have Nth Moto in Minneapolis. Realistically with the cost of these builds what another grand?
We need an interview with Hector and his civic!
Hector is gonna be running three Honda Civics with Spoon engines. On top of that, he just came into Harry's and ordered three T66 turbos with NOS and a Motec system exhaust.
That civic is probably faster than 90% of other cars you will see in Austin
If I ever had the money to own one of these I would definitely have it built by Calvo
Grew up being a massive viper fan.. I'd trade mine in for a worked viper in a heartbeat!
20:04 Who's got the Red Civic? Cleannnnn.
Edit show more of hectors Honda!
Very cool to see the active wing for drag application!
Great shop tour!
I wish Dodge would’ve continued on with the viper and made a mid engine version with that drivetrain
Always a party with Calvo
Not commenting on that Eagle Talon behind the Civic, but I'm sure that is a employee's car too.
Love calvo wish I could buy one one day
Calvo motorsports King of the vipers!!!!!! 🦾✅🤑
why only non-overdrive autos? The a618/47/48re bolt up (auto viper trucks) and cope makes a killer billet full manual transbrake with lockup, diesel guys punish them way more than any viper will and all the internals interchange. .69:1 OD and lockup converter
Perfect video.
I never knew vipers had astigmatism 3:37
Lol was debating on wether to say anything
Love vipers❤
I love calvo vipers 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Yo, we need to know more about Hector and those Honda's ASAP.
Hector going to be running spoon engine and a motec exhaust. N what this is about is race wars.
I’m glad you got rid of the Dynocom junk and got a Mainline!!
Did he say those trubo's build boost 6500 rev out to 8K and nitrous to spool up ?
Ya
If I had the money I'd have my gen v T/A at Antonio's shop right now
I'd love to see what they could do with that dsm in the back.
Imagine that kind of money in a Corvette or Camaro 👋👋
DAAAAMN !!
What about the RPM gauge pegging at 7K. It's just amazing
God I hope that civic has an SR20 in it
Would make this all come full circle😂
Curious to know if Calvo did any work/experimenting with carbon fiber rods.
2000hp McLaren 720S? is there a video of that?
I know Anthony was an import guy at the time, but pretty much everyone was running AEM on Vipers 15 years ago if they were going fast. Standalones are not new, nor are sequentials. SVS was doing those in like 2005.
Stuff is just better these days. The computers, transmissions, turbos, and availability of billet parts is just better, but the ideas are the same.
Solid, kiwi likes 👌
Please go interview hectarrr ! Bet that Honda is not typical
Why no overdrive autos or autos with more gears???
What rods and pistons did they say they’re using?
Italian Rods and Pistons - IRP
@@MotiveVideo Awesome, thank you! Do you know if they’re using Turbo Smart Boost controllers or the Motec to handle boost control? Wasn’t sure what product of Turbo Smart they’re using. Again, 🙏 Thanks
@@chillznaxpretty much all these have motec.
The Viper is a much better car overall compared to the Challengers and Camaros. Sucks that the Viper has been forgotten about.
I love America's sequential viper scene, and I generally don't like American cars
Vipers are the absolute pinnacle of RWD streetcars. Nothing comes close to them.
No love for the Corvette?
5:55
Farmer's tan to the max
Respect to these vipers but the TOP DOGS are in the mid 5's now
Mid 5s? What Vipers are mid 5s?
Imagine with an interchiller...
How in the hell do you find an engine that can handle 4500 hp for more than one pass
What’s there some kind of exotic metal that we do not know about that all you have access to
I’m not doubting your abilities, but man I’d really like to see that see how reliable it is
He said the clutch slips the whole way down the strip lol
@@sygrene not just the clutch ,everything else
No replacement for displacement, eventually 2L and 3L engines just don't feed the disease enough.
Just add boost. Power comes from air mass flow not displacement. This is car guys 101 manual.
Never go automatic ewwww manual is just so much more fun I get the advantages of having an auto when you get into the higher end of drag racing and def are faster when your at that point but nothing beats a manual car
Guys going 100mph sitting down
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed lol. Either he is legit ADHD and coping with it or a closet coke "enthusiast" he had a lot of mannerisms that are similar to friends I've had that liked coke or tweaked.
Oooorr..who knows, maybe he had one too many energy drinks that day lol. There has been a few days when I had WAY too much caffeine. So I shouldn't judge.
Anyone else looking how much vipers are worth in Australia after that video…
looked into it when Nth moto first started building these. My state (ACT) said it wouldn't be possible to register at the time.
Stock ones 130-200k
Bro has maclaren elva💀
4500hp without methanol? are u human?
I love this guy
Hector came so far since those early days with civics and spoon engines
dont think anything that isn't an actual drag car can compete with these vipers on the road
GTR's, Skylines and R8's/ Huracan's are quicker than vipers. Never the less, vipers are extremely quick, given their downforce and no other rwd streetcar comes close.
@@lennixsingh626 GTRs yea, but I haven't seen a single Skyline put down 60-130s on the street that these Vipers have (2.90s)
@@somethingtough Theres skylines doing 7's on unprepped surfaces in street trim, mind you they are quicker than r35's and 35's currently have the quickest times.
@@lennixsingh626 7s ain't quick enough to compete with the Vipers
@@somethingtough Read my comment again. 7's on UNPREPPED surfaces. Gtr's are doing low 6's on prepped tracks.
🤔 how do u get a OHV engine spinning at 8,000 RPMs ? (edit) 😅 i paused this and watched a video on it lol apparently it takes really strong springs to deal wit the pushrods and rockers
