Vipers are so damn cool! Major head-turners for sure! I live in a small town and a few weeks ago I saw a Gen 3 Viper coming down an exit ramp and I was way more excited to see that than any of the C8 Corvettes I’ve seen around here!
Karl, on the matter of hot water; 121 F degrees is considered hot enough to do damage if left in contact too long. The military showers I worked on were 100 degrees, summer and winter. Hot water heaters are sold with a 120 degree setting. Bath water is comfortable for most people between 104 and 105, hot tubbers have had heat prostration from over exposure to those temps. A 160-170 degree temp would put a cherry like the one you have on your calf with just a short exposure. I did plumbing to pay for my motor head bad habits!
Watching Car Wizard getting in the Viper reminds me of Chris Farley trying on the sports coat in Tommy Boy. I'm a big guy myself and I KNOW I'd never fit in that Viper!
I absolutely love your Viper, the ultimate classic from Dodge! The color, the rims & excellent condition made it the score of a lifetime, enjoy it man!
The entry and exit tutorial was Most informative, and Nobody covers that stuff. I want to buy a new Corvette so bad, but I’m too embarrassed 🙈 to try and get in and out of one.
This is honestly the most appropriate super car for folks our age. I’m a march 79 baby. I’m not sure many of the younger car guys can respect this, and the older car guys just wouldn’t want the chore. What a car for our era. Very signatory of it.
@@retrocompaq5212 Ah man, I totally had a first gen viper car model. Right after the first TV season. I remember every detail. Totally loved putting the headlight lenses on and how the hood opened forward for display. Great memories
Nice, very nice. 12.5 for the that Jag is very good price, but the icing on the cake is that it is sorted by you. One will be sure that is very good car and it will not cause you trouble for quite some time. Thanks.
I agree! I would NEVER get rid of a Jag for a "dime a dozen" Porsche. Especially a V12 X300. The X300 XJ6 and XJ12 were some of the greatest and fairly reliable Jags. You never see any V12's, but there isn't a day that goes by that I don't see a Porsche. Like I said, dime a dozen. I'd get rid of the Citroen too....not to mention the ugliness, but it's a huge money pit!
Always been my dream car since I was a child and still today i'm in love with the Viper. That engine noise, the way the front lift a bit, the little crackle from the exhaust between shift. Must be a pleasure to drive this beast. I cannot live a life without having one of these amazing cars, this video gives me motivation to continue my studies.
Damn you Wizard!!!! Where were you when my brother and I rented that same Viper in Vegas in the early 2000’s??? Me and him burned the hell out of our legs!!!! Then we burned all of the rubber down to bologna skins!!!! Love the channel and buy Mrs Wizard the car of her dreams already damn it! Lol Best regards from NY.
Was very hot and cold with this channel when I found it OH so many years ago but, could tell the Wizard knew his shit! What a cool car guy. Thanks for all the great content, best wishes and prayer to you Mr. and Mrs. Wizard and family. The Viper sounds like a Gayllardo for MEN! JK lol
Heh. I had '01 Camaro SS with Flowmasters (I bought it like that). The startup noise was amazing, and the short stints around town sounded very nice, I thought that was perfect. Then I took it on 2 hr drive on the highway, and oh boy, did I get a headache. Ever since then, I appreciate quiet, understated rumble far more.
Old Vipers have bad suspension geometry, that's why if you drive them hard they lose control. I've read somewhere (MotoIQ) that under hard cornering or accelerating, the rear toe deflects by half an Inch. It's not just about "driving with respect".
I’ve had to revert back to standard exhaust before to get ride of the drone but one thing I’ve found that helps on my morgan v8 now is holding my nose and popping my ears really does help weird pressures that droning causes and I’m sure my ex girlfriend still has the scar from my side pipped cobra 😂
Why not just stand in it and just sit down.. Seems like that would be easier.. right foot in, step and head above the windshield, other foot way above exhaust.. Just sit right in.. idk never tried myself.
I have a 12 RT classic challenger 5.7 I tried to be like the 99% and straight pipe and cat delete and no way I guess I'm to old I could not take the drone so I put the cats on and spin tech mufflers then left resonators off finally it's sounds great and very little drone.
Sounds like a pair of stereo inline-5s. Which isn’t a bad thing as they have a unique sound of their own, and I loved our VW I-5. Maybe if the Wizard puts in a cross or X pipe, as mentioned at one point in the video, he’ll get that true V10 sound.
If you watch channels like DDE, they thrive on setting up cars to deliver the loudest most ear shattering exhaust. To the point of adding "flame tunes" that shoot fire several feet and sound like gun shots. They take the cars to rallies and meets where hundreds of fans gather at the rear bumper to record and experience V12 power up close and personal. They grin nervously and wince. They are also going to become hearing aid customers. Too many people think you just "get used to" loud noise"....when you are actually permanently going deaf. Sore muscles get used to strain. Ears are one time only wear items.
Officer says..."you were clocked at 80 in a 40....turn around and put your hands behind your back. Your car will be towed and you can take it up with the judge!"
45 year old officer: I pulled you over because you were doing 20 over but I just have to look at this car. It sounds so cool and it looks so good" Wizard and said cop spend next half hour on the side of the road while Wizard let's him sit in the driver's seat and run the motor up a few times. Wizard then opens the hood and he and the cop spend more time chatting about the motor and.what future mods might be envisioned. Finally the cop stands back one more te to take in the car and he says "what an awesome car! Thanks for letting me look it over! You be careful out there and have a great day". Cop gets back in his cruiser and with one last glance heads on down the road. Wizard, with an equally big smile get back onto the Viper and also heads down the road If you don't think the above is realistic it is an accurate description of an encounter with a Texas DPS Trooper I had in the 90's but it was in my Terminator Mustang Vert. The only difference in the two encounters is the trooper gave me a friendly butt chewing for not being armed even though o had a CHL. 😊😊
Wizard, you screwed up royaly. Never admit to violating an EPA law. EPA and the Feds are going after UA-camrs. You might get a letter from the Feds over deleting the cats and taking it on the road, even for a test.
I’ve got a Volvo like the S60 on the ramp so very much a fan of the 5 cylinder sound. The Viper sounds to me like an angry Volvo 😆 sounds fantastic Wizard
There is an exit helper that I use for exiting my C5 Corvette. It fits in the door striker latch and provided amazing support to exit. It's not permanently attached and I keep it under my seat. It will save your bolster 100%.
Sounds exactly like a five cylinder engine. I have a Volvo S80 2,5T and it's the same sound. Probably because you here one side more in the camera mic.
Borla exhaust makes a great side exhaust replacement at reasonable prices. Borla very popular in time period especially with PANTERRA. Love the sound of a Panterra!
Tip from my Realtor father; If you want to sell something, make it very easy to find contact info. No contact information in the video or the description will leave potential buyers behind. Don't leave money on the table, it only takes two to start a bidding war.
That exhaust sounds a lot better than the creek/crunch of that 30 year old Dodge interior plastic as Wizard shows how he gets in and out. Changing out some of that as it cracks and breaks from in/egress wear is going to be pure joy🙂
2:43 I would wrap up the pipe with a fiberglass heat shield, it won't be a cool for sure, but will reduce the heat significantly, done this on my Ninja Motorcycle, much comfortable now to ride in summer days...✌️, Amazon sells them...
I feel so blessed that these are finally legal to drive and own in LHD on Australian roads. My eyes and ears finally have the pleasure of seeing and hearing these early vipers on our roads.
When I was young, I loved those cars. I was so obsessed with them. Always saw them in racing games. Never in real life. Haha so this is really cool. THANKS FOR SHARING!
Hey man, nice ride! I had a special-ordered Viper with the 455 Boss Super Cobra Hemi.I installed 5 Harley 1.5 barrel carbs, Edelstein headers, Hookey cams and even an Iskancragar muffler.What a ride!!

Fat guy in a little coat
Chris Farley owned a Viper one time, as I saw a photo of him sitting unhappily in a Viper getting a ticket from a cop-John in Texas
That seat didn't sound to happy when you were getting in and out 😆 They definitely had pretty el cheapo interiors
the gen 1s had the ugliest interior, the gen 2 black interior were very simple and clean
Viper looks and sounds amazing 🇺🇸🤘🏻

It's amazing that you have the ability to work on so many different makes of vehicles. I wish I had someone nearby like you.
would a heat reflector of some kind of extra internal heatshield or wrapping/ceramic coating be a good idea?
wizard keep the jaguar v12 and sell the viper the jag is way rarer than the viper
100% agree and much quieter!

Let's Go David!!! Awesome old school ride!! Love the insanity of the Vipers!!!
you should post in the description all of the exhaust parts you bought for your setup (brand, part # to exhaust parts)
There's a reason why the vipers were discontinued, , shitbox springs to mind 😂
The Jaguar is a very nice car. I would be satisfied with it.
But mostly Diva's...
Until you have to repair something..
If I could afford German maintenance bills, I would take that Jag over a BMW or Merc any day.
I would too, but the wife wouldn't. The Jag would be in the garage, and I'd be in the dog house.
t.l.robinson - Is that an offer?
So far I've learned how to open the hood and how to sit in the viper. Now I just gotta figure out how to buy a viper
Bro you can remove your cats no one has to know besides you and anyone you choose to tell.
What? A twenty minute ride and we got to hear it for maybe a minute? Sounds great! 🙏❤️😎🤙

Amazing job with the wheels Wizard! It was the first detail i noticed. Honestly thought you decided to go ahead and buy another set. Beautiful work!
How much would DEI heat wrap help with the exhaust temp.
I think not so much. But it will be heat up the Engine additionaly.

Your cleanup of the wheels looks very nice. But really, I'm not fond of the Gen 3 wheels on the earlier versions of the car anyway.
Beautiful cars! Wizard!
Can't believe you are showing us how to enter and exit a Viper. I'll file that info under "Things that I'll never need to know". lol
I wonder if the Wizard ever deep cleans his cars. The Viper engine bay needs some TLC. I know he is gonna paint the valve covers.

A hemlotz resonator would fix the drone.....jus sayin
The solution to the drone is mufflers of slightly different sizes, or a crossover tube
yeah...the slightly different mufflers/resonators is the easiest on this kind of design....a cross pipe would be a bit more of an expensive endeavour.

No stability control on vipers. Careful with the viper. It drifts easy
