      Mad Rooster - by saying we think Jeremiah is doing a great job as a newer host on this channel? That he has come into his own and is putting out videos that are fun to watch? Call it fanboy if you want, I guess... But your comment will remain adding nothing to a conversation amongst adults because you are trying to either be cute & funny or just a dick. I’m not sure which you were aiming for, but it’s definitely one of those two.

    They call my Grandpa, Roy, “Father Viper”. He was the chief engineer of the project and assembled the Viper Team. It’s really cool he was a part of creating something that now my favorite car channel is talking about. Hopefully he’s still around when I buy a Viper.

      To be fair though. GM is never one to make a all out wild car like Dodge is. Dodge is always going above and beyond while GM is quite modest. I'm saying that to say this, if GM were to build an all out track only Corvette with little creature comforts like the ACR has, The Vette would win no doubt

    If the viper was safer to drive then it would have sold more and be on par with corvette sales. Because all your grandpas would buy one with their retirement money. But what makes a viper a VIPER is that it takes extreme skills to master it and you’re still at the edge of death. No other car is scarier to drive than the viper acr, not even the hellcat red eye widebody with a manual.

    • @Robert-goose1

    I became a Dodge man when dad bought a pre-owned 1989 Ramcharger in 1996, also Twister with that 8.0 V10 Dodge. I fell in love with the Viper when the very first Road & Track presents Need For Speed for the first PlayStation in 1996, literally been a Dodge fanatic since the year 1996. Love hearing that the Viper never needed superchargers, turbos or any type of helped Ram Air. Hence, this is totally the Don’t Tread on Me car because of the 1776 wing and the fact the Southeastern Diamondback is a viper itself. I will always love this car!

    Growing up my dad worked for Chrysler here in Michigan. He used to talk about the viper all the time. It was easily my favorite car growing up. I was 1 when the first viper came out. It’s easily one of my favorite cars ever built. Especially the last gen 🥹 that car was absolutely beautiful. It still is one of the best looking cars I’ve ever seen.

    I actually got to see the original prototype in person at the Chicago auto show in 1989. In fact we got to actually sit in it !!!! It was never intended to be anything more than a proof of concept that ran and drove featuring an Aluminum version of the V10 truck engine that they hoped to one day build a performance car version of. The public sent so many letters Dodge decided to produce it with a few changes. they got rid of the sick looking headers that went directly into side pipes the were exposed all the way down the side of the car !!! It runs out several people were burning their feet and legs getting in the car!! It was several years before they even offered a top on this car at all !!! I also heard the firing order had to be changed because the truck version was warping the crankshaft when you kicked up the performance !!!!
