    I like how Clarkson tends to shit on American engineering….. until he gets into this thing. The Viper’s charm is simply irresistible to the driver.

      It really does. I sold my 2001 to a Navy pilot, he wrecked it into a jersey wall a week later, he suffered just a couple cuts and bruises. Before he bought it, I told him to take it to a large space where he could practice driving it because Vipers don't transmit their limits very well to the driver. He never practiced like I suggested, resulting in an ego-reducing accident.

    It's definitely more user friendly than the 1st gen Viper, but it's just as much a purebred race car for the street. It simply has more logical features that the 1st gen didn't have... like side windows and a roof. Oh and door handles on the outside.

    Still a dream car of mine, along side a c5 z06 and 02 firebird ws6. Of course id get every car manual and viper/ z06 comes manual only. Good for me then. Long time till then.

    • @abaddon3735
      @abaddon3735 3 роки тому +4

      C5 Z06's are fairly cheap, you see nice ones selling for as low as 19-20k. To me the Z06 is the more affordable viper, preforms near just as well but it just lacks the viper exclusivity/charm, and lacks the jaw dropping V10.

    • @ryanrake2714
      @ryanrake2714 3 роки тому +1

      @@abaddon3735 very well said. The gen 3 viper was 2 seconds slower around nurburgring, but its such a cool and charming car as you said. Actual value I can see why the viper is worth so much more. Im not trying to hate on the c5, in fact being 16 the c5 is the better choice. And the ls1 and ls6 are no slouches either. But the base c5 will get better economy than my ranger with 18-28, over 20 sqaure feet of storage, rides honestly probably better than my truck, 6 speed manual(if I get a vette im not going automatic, for me manual will be a necessity). And a ws6 is more of my ideal "family car"(obviously it is not, but for 16 years ive been stuck in the back of a 2400 lb ford escort zx2. The corvette is the best bang for buck, c6 z06 suspension and anti sway bars swap right on, plenty of fendor or widebody conversions as well as integrated spoilers, spliters, and rear diffuser, cam swap, ram air injection, 275 tires up front 315s on back. This is my ideal build. And maybe eventually a ls3 swap. The t56 can handle up to 700 horsepower so it should be fine. By that point my goal is to pull 1.15 gs on the skid pad and qaurter mile in 11.5.

    • @CaptainFALKEN

      Very nice choices here. Viper was my childhood dreamcar and it still kicks ass today. My style would be more classic hotrods today like the 70 Road Runner, 68 GTO and 79 Trans Am. I had a 2000 Firebird 3.8L which felt awesome to drive, like a Vette. I wish I had the WS6. Epic car. And the C5 Z06 is epic too.

      @@CaptainFALKEN I agree. I’m about 99 percent certain I’ve talked with you on a certain topic, I remember this because Captain Falcon was my smash bros Brawl main. I’d love a v6 or v8 firebird as a daily, I just wanted something a little faster than both(being the z06 to get the speed itch I’ve been chasing, cause 3.9 seconds to 60 ain’t a joke), and even on 20 year old tires it was great by modern standards at the Nurburgring. A viper will just be a fun car, you can cruse in 6th gear and still have plenty of get up and go power for regular driving.
      I agree, the GTO was awesome and I have an an friend with a 455 gto(friend used loosely). He’s a real good guy. I’d love a 69 Camaro ZL1, l88 c3 corvette at a 427 1967 C2 corvette

      If you watch the Drake and Josh movie where Drake steals Tony Hawk's '03 roadster, he turns the key and then to start it, it's the button. Guessing you can take the key out anytime or a trick. I knew a guy with a 71 Chevelle who can start his car and then take the key out with it still running. Similar
