It's very stereotypically American, that's for certain - big, powerful, cool, loud, obnoxious and probably the car will fall off since it's American reliability. All in all, great car
It's amazing how it literally had/has the most track records(13) of any street legal car. I'd need to check if it still does hence why I put has/had, likely has lost a few though. Amazing car.
@@ThatCarGuy that said, it ran all those times on 295/355 mm Kumho Ecsta V720 tires with a tread wear of 20. Those are basically slick level. Comparing it with the current GT3 (992), it is 6 seconds slower on the Nordschleife, 3 seconds slower on the Sachsenring and roughly the same at Dunnville and Virginia Raceway, despite 140 hp more, wider and grippier tires and way more downforce.
@That Car Guy I think that part of the reason is most companies really only care about the nurburgring since it's seen around the world as the "ultimate race track". Dodges marketing team saw an opertunity to break a whole bunch of records that no one else was really going for and took it

What surprises a lot of people about the Viper is, underneath all the rawness and power, they are actually very competent GTs. I am lucky enough to own an 06 Viper coupe, and I road trip it 1600 miles round trip every year to visit family. The seats are relatively comfy (very dependent on your build) and the gearing is so tall that it runs 90-100 mph at under 2k RPM, meaning I can average close to 26 MPG on the highway. Love mine and don't see myself ever getting rid of it. That said, I have a lot of respect for 911s, and would absolutely add one to the stable if finances allowed.
@@Link30567 That came out a bit wrong, no, I manage about 26 mpg highway if I am 'behaving'. 75ish puts me at about 1200 RPM in 6th, so it really is almost idling at highway speeds

@P. B. Foote To each their own, but top gear kinda started the whole thing for me, and what a great time it was I still watch the old videos and laugh most of the time. I was very sad when this entire journey ended but that's why I'm so happy about finding James and Thomas, they brought back the "good old times"
@P. B. Foote Man you must be fun at parties 😅 Just let people enjoy their stuff, no need to talk them out of it, if you don't like it then it's just not for you 😄
The Viper is and always will be my dream car. Once this wild aftermarket pricing comes back down, I seriously want to snag one. I don't care if I can only drive it 4 months of the year, living in Cleveland... I've wanted one since I was 5. I will own one before I die.
I’ve been in 3-5 gens on track, they are all similar experiences. I wouldn’t get to fixed on generation unless you are concerned with track times and such. Funny, was just in a gen4 on a track just outside cleveland yesterday!
For most UA-cam channels, we all skip intros to get to the main part. For throttle house ,it feels like a crime 😅. The intros are always lit. This might just be the best car review channel ever💯
Great minds! The 2000 Viper GTS-R Concept ignited my love of cars, and the Viper has been my absolute favorite car ever since. From the exterior, the 5th Gen Viper is the most beautiful car ever made, IMO.
My 27 year old son has a red 2013 Viper GTS and it’s stunnng in person! He gets stares and pictures taken everywhere he goes and people try to race him!
As a person who dreamed of owning one and now I have one since 2015 all I can say ... ITS Worth it , not for everyone but I love it and wouldn't sell it for anything (id love to have a gt3 so bad but not sell my viper to get one )and Its really hard to find tires for it , infact I'm struggling right now to find tires for it
Thomas & James, I DEMAND an intro compilation. Thank you so much for all the incredible content you've been pumping out! wish I could've been a part of the throttle house car meet at Oakville, well there's always a next time
@@Neg2YGO yeah I watched it on the extra throttle house channel where they explained a few of their intros. it was quite funny but I need them monthly haha
I love this formula: "Here's a great new sports car and here's what you can get on the used market for about the same money." Can't wait to see what you pit the new GR Corolla against on the used market.
the thing is what value do you put on a good working AC and AndroidAuto/Car Play? I think tech has spoiled me to the point where my daily driver has to be 2018 or newer.
The Viper seems like it would be the more fun and cooler weekend car. The Porsche seems like a better daily driver, though still compromised. I'd pick the Viper and buy a better daily driver on the side. New for new, the price difference would afford a very nice second car.
Don’t forget the sewing machine sound of the Porsche. Too “refined” for me. The Viper has a terrifying roar at redline. The sound alone is worth the price of admission.
FINALLY MIXING UP THE OLD AND THE NEW BRAND AND MODEL. Love this! Love to see Ferrari 360 vs new SL63 or Old 911 vs New C63s or Old Bentley vs New Cadillac
@@riffle91ar The future of AMG is shaping up to be looking bleak! 4 cylinders! Frankly, I could care less if a 4 pot hybrid can make the same amount if not more of HP as the last gen, but man, the M156 and M113 will always have a special place in my heart! It just won’t be the same ever again…
Having currently a 992 Turbo S and a 17 Viper GTSR, both are amazing experiences in their own purpose driven manner. The Viper 100% gets people stopping and taking videos and pics while the Porsche...... well just looks like a Porsche. Being my 992 Turbo S is Dolomite Silver with the Aero pack and Exclusive Manufacturer leather with the 2 tone Graphite blue/ Chalk interior it's the perfect spec in my eyes even though it was so expensive. Yet the blue/ ivory interior option on My M8 Gran Coupe is just as nice and in some ways nicer and was only a $5k option.
@@dudndadn12212 that's more of a McLaren 765Lt or something. The GT3 is pure in that it's a high-revving, naturally aspirated, rear wheel driven, 911. And with the touring removing the "track car" stigma, it's basically all soul.
@@EdwardViaTomato The Viper is a low revving torque monster, brute force Gorilla. They are different. They both make you smile, but for different reasons. I like to smile.
It's my birthday today and all I can say is that having one of your videos posted on my birthday is probably one of the best gifts!! Thanks again for all the amazing work and hilarious comedy you guys do!
The top end power should be way more punchy since it makes over 100HP more but I'm also curious to see the similarities with driving impressions and the lower to midrange power aswell.
Yeah, literally the only thing Id change is blacking out or greying out (black might be a bit to edgy) the chrome window trim so it matches the paint/wheels better... But even that is such a tiny as gripe, and that interior... God I think I'm gonna have a crisis!
In high-school we had a trade portion that was focused on automotive repair, body repair, welding etc. They somehow had been donated a white with red strips dodge viper they kept on display that I got to walk past everyday, gorgeous car.
If you're that bothered about price, buy a Honda civic. People who can afford $135K for a car, can push the limit to $300k for a car which is 3 times as good for less than 3 times the price.
Dear Thomas and James, I want to thank you for the work you do. You guys make my day. The moment you drop a video, I drop whatever else I might be doing at that moment. In the days between you drop new videos, I rewatch all your videos on shuffle. I have been a subscriber for over 3..4 years now and your content has helped me through some very difficult times. Love you guys and I have massive respect for all the hard work you put in every single second of the footage! I wish someday I could meet you both!
I have always loved the way the Viper sounds. That V10 howl reminds me of a WWII warbird while telling lesser engines to shut their communist mouths while holding a brick in its hand. I hope that truly magnificent come a long is the new ZO6....please please pretty please. Don't screw it up Chevy.
the truly impressive thing about this Viper and especially the ACR is that it's one of the best sports cars while being almost a decade old. The ACR the used was newer of course but it still beat the track time of the 2022 Porsche so imagine where'd the Viper would be if they didn't cancel it
That’s an exceptionally good pair of cars to compare. I bet not a lot of potential GT3 customers would even consider looking at a Viper, but truth be told, they both deliver The ultimate drivers experience😎
You are correct, in my mind, choosing that viper over the GT3 is just crazy! Sure it has the engine and the drama, but it's a dodge🤢 and that interior🤢🤢 and build quality🤢🤢 it's like comparing a tesla to a porsche taycan, on paper they might be similar, but irl it's 2 quite different machines.
@@nicolaysbunny1851 If you don't take care of the car, then everything will break down. Viper gives emotions of fear, madness at the wheel, no car gives such frenzied sensations
I've been binge watching Throttle House for 48 hours now and I'm very impressed. Great presenters, great information, great and not so great cars. This is a brilliant alternative to The grand Tour and I'd recommend it to anyone wanting a fun and informative channel. Nice one guys, keep up the great work. Wishing you and your viewers A tremendous weekend.
Love the touring! But honestly I don't like the Turbo S constantly being compared to other 911's. It's just got a completely different characteristic and it's fun in its own way.
Imo, viper certainly have the speed, and they certainly have the presence. It’s not just a different looking C6 when driving down the road. You know it’s special, and gives you feelings similer to a supercar. So for that, it’s a supercar.
@@Itsjamilagain before the 5th gen viper it was sorta a proper mid 2000s American supercar if you catch my drift like a Saleen s7, has the performance the looks but was kinda rough around the edges especially the interior, 2014+ are ALOT better put together, magnetic ride, and for 2014 that was a properly nice interior, 5th gen definitely a supercar, 4th gen and lower was arguably a sports car with supercar power and almost hyper car torque at the time
z06 wont have manual; kinda pointless imo as these two are not only naturally aspirated but manual transmission heroes. If we bring the z06, we bring in the ferraris, the lambos and such
Ever since the 90s it's always been Corvette vs Viper in terms of American "super" cars. Look at all the past car and driver and Motortrend magazine covers. I have always loved the Viper but the C7 Corvette was gorgeous and now the C8 is just a beast. It'd be fun nonetheless
I have always felt that the Mercedes AMG GT was supposed to be the cleaned up or “classy” version of the Viper. And it is amazing but it lost the brash, unapologetic fervor the Viper has in abundance. Great review and as always made me laugh out loud multiple times.
@@sunnyvalentino I appreciate that! Always felt like I was the only one that saw it but no one ever acknowledged. I dove into some of those articles and super cool to see what they did. I still wish they had the gull wing doors now that I see it.
@@ShaiyanHossain The AMG Black Series beat the GT2RS And made Porsche call Manthey for Help. Keep that in mind. The Viper Chassis is amazing on any car
I’ll never get sick of driving my Vipers. The big stupid smile I get on my face from the moment I fire up that bellowing V10 stays on my face for hours after the drive is done. It might be a raging beast of a car, but boy is it something truly special & exciting to drive!!! PS: The GT3 Touring is pretty darned incredible too!!! 🏎💨
With Vipers, you have to get the exact one that was on your wall when you were 9. This one just doesn't do it for me. It has to be a Gen 2 GTS and it has to be blue with white stripes. A Gen 1 convertible, red with a tan rag is also cool, but it wouldn't satisfy the itch.
just because the others don't want to set lap times, most of the tracks the viper has a record on the next car is one from over 30 years ago, for example a ferrari f355
@@Stevensalcido This is literally a lie that makes no Sense . The ACR beat the Pista & La Ferrari. It was tested on every Major track. And it had 16 records
@@N0neofyourbusiness. The Viper is no longer in Production It took a car on Race Compound tires To beat a car from 2017 . The Viper Still set 16 in 1 year. That's a record
@@Stevensalcido So no new cars tested at Laguna Seca? Willow Springs? V.I.R , Saschering? It beat every modern car possible 30 years old? I hope you are trolling
I laughed so hard I literally slid out of my chair and began to die lol 😂😂😂 absolutely best intro ever! But the gag reel was even funnier so I died again. Please never stop making content this funny and entertaining. Love you guys from Kansas.
If I was choosing one car to be a jack of all trades, it'd be the Porsche. If I had a primary/daily car already, the Dodge is a no brainer. The viper will go down as a very special car in history, probably the last 'mass' produced v10 manuals ever. The problem with Porsche is that they are so good and there are so many similar looking models that they get a little boring after a few months of a new one coming out. Owning a car like the Viper that wants you dead every time you put your foot down would bring a smile to my face.
Although that is a legitimate ultimate sports car genuine "Porsche" .....I also would take the Viper. most people would get in and ride with you in a Porsche , most people would be afraid to get in and ride with you in a Viper. That is respect, in a counter-intuitive way.
"With great power, comes great power." Dodge's new marketing slogan.
and no responsibility, which is fun, and hits home.
It's very stereotypically American, that's for certain - big, powerful, cool, loud, obnoxious and probably the car will fall off since it's American reliability. All in all, great car
a very us interpretation of the top end sports car.

ITS Worth it , not for everyone but I love it and wouldn't sell it for anything (id love to have a gt3 so bad but not sell my viper to get one )and Its really hard to find tires for it , infact I'm struggling right now to find tires for it
Hard choice but I'm gonna always go with the Viper Baby.... All Motor 💪
The Porsche is all motor, do you mean "all displacement"
Same. The Porsche is a fabulous car, but the Viper is raw and pure; and it will kill you if you don't pay attention. Take my money.
“Imagine if airplanes had wheels” lol I was dying.
I love how it just pauses on Thomas and there's a shutter sound as if he was caught committing a crime 💀
LOL
Yup, actually almost had my coffee come out my nose… hahaha… love you guys! Lol
(Imagines Saab’s)
everyone loves retard humor
as a European Dodge Viper is the way to go to Me anyways. You can see Porsches everywhere but Vipers? that's once a lifetime opportunity
Thomas & James, I DEMAND an intro compilation. Thank you so much for all the incredible content you've been pumping out! wish I could've been a part of the throttle house car meet at Oakville, well there's always a next time
Good news they've already made one. It's a bit outdated now though
Some people make intro compilations but I want one from the actual guys
@@Neg2YGO yeah I watched it on the extra throttle house channel where they explained a few of their intros. it was quite funny but I need them monthly haha
Make it happen
Seconded
Man the Viper is so ageless 🤩 I’d take the ACR Viper over almost any other
I love this formula: "Here's a great new sports car and here's what you can get on the used market for about the same money." Can't wait to see what you pit the new GR Corolla against on the used market.
Mk6 golf R with a tune I hope
“Gr Corolla for 55k or an 5 year old Lexus RCF
Think of c6 corvette. Hell, maybe even the z06 variant
the thing is what value do you put on a good working AC and AndroidAuto/Car Play?
I think tech has spoiled me to the point where my daily driver has to be 2018 or newer.
@@peterrusso7336 I really like where your heads at with that !
Awesome video. You guys are hilarious, so entertaining. James' joke was epic, "imagine if planes had wheels"... Keep up the stellar work.
My head says Porsche but my heart wants Dodge. My walllet makes me take the subway
Both head and heart says 911 any day
I'm torn between the two. It's "my heart's telling me Porsche" and "my heart's telling me viper" My wallet? My flat ass wide ass feet.
The Viper seems like it would be the more fun and cooler weekend car. The Porsche seems like a better daily driver, though still compromised.
I'd pick the Viper and buy a better daily driver on the side. New for new, the price difference would afford a very nice second car.
Don’t forget the sewing machine sound of the Porsche. Too “refined” for me. The Viper has a terrifying roar at redline. The sound alone is worth the price of admission.
FINALLY MIXING UP THE OLD AND THE NEW BRAND AND MODEL. Love this! Love to see Ferrari 360 vs new SL63 or Old 911 vs New C63s or Old Bentley vs New Cadillac
Would rather see an old AMG 6.2 vs something new. The old ones were hoonigan engines lol
@@riffle91ar The future of AMG is shaping up to be looking bleak! 4 cylinders! Frankly, I could care less if a 4 pot hybrid can make the same amount if not more of HP as the last gen, but man, the M156 and M113 will always have a special place in my heart! It just won’t be the same ever again…
@@rahulmandala4930 oh totally agree. If I had the maintenance money for an older 6.2 AMG sedan, I'd rip one and be the happiest kid ever haha 😂
The Cadillac XLR vs C8 Corvette Convertible. Both retractable hardtop "Vettes".
exactly! Considering most people would have to buy these cars used anyway, it's great to see comparisons between different generations
You two are legendary.......speaking of legendary, thanks for showcasing a Viper. I like Porsche too, but not nearly as much.
Those intros never disappoint 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Having currently a 992 Turbo S and a 17 Viper GTSR, both are amazing experiences in their own purpose driven manner.
The Viper 100% gets people stopping and taking videos and pics while the Porsche...... well just looks like a Porsche.
Being my 992 Turbo S is Dolomite Silver with the Aero pack and Exclusive Manufacturer leather with the 2 tone Graphite blue/ Chalk interior it's the perfect spec in my eyes even though it was so expensive. Yet the blue/ ivory interior option on My M8 Gran Coupe is just as nice and in some ways nicer and was only a $5k option.
Loved how the viper came in
That shot was really badass
You just can't not love what the Viper is, it's a damn beast
This was so much fun from beginning to end! Thank you!
That Viper has incredible curb appeal... but the GT3 Touring is effectively a perfect car.
Perfection has no soul, give me the old car with soul and I will grin ear to ear.
@@dudndadn12212 I don't think I've ever heard anyone call a GT3 soulless, let alone the most recent versions. It's basically all soul.
@@EdwardViaTomato soulless, it's a perfect appliance.
@@dudndadn12212 that's more of a McLaren 765Lt or something. The GT3 is pure in that it's a high-revving, naturally aspirated, rear wheel driven, 911. And with the touring removing the "track car" stigma, it's basically all soul.
@@EdwardViaTomato The Viper is a low revving torque monster, brute force Gorilla. They are different. They both make you smile, but for different reasons. I like to smile.
16:08 the fact that james was about to mention genshin impact is absolutely killing me right now
Yeah I had to double take on that. I chortled.
That was a close one
But he didn't so he's not completely lost. Phew.
Instantly went into the comments looking for this lmao
@@aloskss same
It's my birthday today and all I can say is that having one of your videos posted on my birthday is probably one of the best gifts!! Thanks again for all the amazing work and hilarious comedy you guys do!
This video got me hyped to see what the Z06 engine feels like compared to the GT3
Ratio + K-pop better🧑🏼💻🧑🏼💻🧑🏼💻🧑🏼💻🧑🏼💻🤳🏼🤳🏼🤳🏼🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
The top end power should be way more punchy since it makes over 100HP more but I'm also curious to see the similarities with driving impressions and the lower to midrange power aswell.
That shot with the GoPro mounted on the wing rising up was perfect
That’s spec on the gt3 is absolutely perfect 🔥
Yeah, literally the only thing Id change is blacking out or greying out (black might be a bit to edgy) the chrome window trim so it matches the paint/wheels better... But even that is such a tiny as gripe, and that interior... God I think I'm gonna have a crisis!
great intro fellas, I love these.
In high-school we had a trade portion that was focused on automotive repair, body repair, welding etc. They somehow had been donated a white with red strips dodge viper they kept on display that I got to walk past everyday, gorgeous car.
Your……. *high school* was donated a Dodge Viper?! What the hell, man.
Ok the outtakes were hilarious... I need more of these
Thomas: “ It is a Touring but I wouldn’t tour with it”
Me: Bars
That was such a good episode!
$300K USD for the Porsche vs $135K USD for a low mileage 2014 Viper GTS ...I am buying the Viper every time.
If you're that bothered about price, buy a Honda civic.
People who can afford $135K for a car, can push the limit to $300k for a car which is 3 times as good for less than 3 times the price.
@@DjNikGnashers I’ll get a Camaro thanks
@@itsmini6175 LOL oh dear.
Each to their own.

@itsmini6175 Hahaha a Camaro, bet it'll be a V6 in automatic as well 😂😂
I have insane respect for both. Vipers and GT3s are both of such rich lineage.
God tier - I'm going to have to steal that intro for my channel
Do it!
Andrei spotted in the wild! Awesome that you watch Throttle House!!
@@dylondylondylondylondylon5 I thought the same!
Thank you so much for those bloopers at the end, that was gold. Oh and uh... great video too! Loved it.
Dear Thomas and James, I want to thank you for the work you do. You guys make my day. The moment you drop a video, I drop whatever else I might be doing at that moment. In the days between you drop new videos, I rewatch all your videos on shuffle. I have been a subscriber for over 3..4 years now and your content has helped me through some very difficult times. Love you guys and I have massive respect for all the hard work you put in every single second of the footage! I wish someday I could meet you both!

I loved the outtakes at the end. More of that please!
Lmao that intro. Incredible cinematography yet again. Also sick meet btw, had a blast meeting you guys.
James review on the Viper had my dying. Hilarious stuff. This is peak automotive content right here. Bravo guys.
Vipers are so unapologetic. You can hate it, but it only cares less.
Ahh that intro…. Such dedication yet so effortlessly funny esp the bloopers 🤣🤣
Viper episodes are the best episodes, thats why you should do one for the RAM SRT 10 VIPER TRUCK
#30 on Trending! Congrats guys! Love the content!
I have always loved the way the Viper sounds. That V10 howl reminds me of a WWII warbird while telling lesser engines to shut their communist mouths while holding a brick in its hand. I hope that truly magnificent come a long is the new ZO6....please please pretty please. Don't screw it up Chevy.
Thank you so much for including the bloopers at the end I just knew that had to of taken some attempts to get through without laughing.
the truly impressive thing about this Viper and especially the ACR is that it's one of the best sports cars while being almost a decade old. The ACR the used was newer of course but it still beat the track time of the 2022 Porsche so imagine where'd the Viper would be if they didn't cancel it
Supersonic viper
Gt3rs is faster though
@@SH7SH7SH7 992 gt3 rs doesnt exist yet and the 991 3rs needed an automatic

You forgot 911 GT2 RS existed.
This is without a doubt the best car channel on UA-cam and it's not even close.
That’s an exceptionally good pair of cars to compare. I bet not a lot of potential GT3 customers would even consider looking at a Viper, but truth be told, they both deliver The ultimate drivers experience😎
You are correct, in my mind, choosing that viper over the GT3 is just crazy! Sure it has the engine and the drama, but it's a dodge🤢 and that interior🤢🤢 and build quality🤢🤢 it's like comparing a tesla to a porsche taycan, on paper they might be similar, but irl it's 2 quite different machines.
@@nicolaysbunny1851 Those who take Viper need emotions and adrenaline from the car
@@incognitoABG yeah bad emotions, like switches falling off, stuff not working and so on
@@nicolaysbunny1851 If you don't take care of the car, then everything will break down. Viper gives emotions of fear, madness at the wheel, no car gives such frenzied sensations
@@incognitoABG I have driven both a viper and a gt3, have you?
Great match up. Great content guys, best car channel on youtube.
The Viper has the timeless amazing look!
No
I've been binge watching Throttle House for 48 hours now and I'm very impressed. Great presenters, great information, great and not so great cars. This is a brilliant alternative to The grand Tour and I'd recommend it to anyone wanting a fun and informative channel. Nice one guys, keep up the great work. Wishing you and your viewers A tremendous weekend.
Ahhhh, the viper. One day I will get one
It's staggering how much better the Viper looks than that Beatle
Love the touring! But honestly I don't like the Turbo S constantly being compared to other 911's. It's just got a completely different characteristic and it's fun in its own way.
Turbo S is for topspeed and fastest 0-100 and for the autobahn, gt3 is for handling and NA engine
After top gear died I really missed some goofy stuff. You're hilarious! :D. Also the car content is brilliant! Keep it up!
someone told me that a viper is basically a V10 powered miata and I've never been able to unsee it.
Not wrong.
Imo, viper certainly have the speed, and they certainly have the presence. It’s not just a different looking C6 when driving down the road. You know it’s special, and gives you feelings similer to a supercar. So for that, it’s a supercar.
Even with the C6 you needed a ZO6 to keep up with the base Viper. It is absolutely a supercar.
@@Itsjamilagain before the 5th gen viper it was sorta a proper mid 2000s American supercar if you catch my drift like a Saleen s7, has the performance the looks but was kinda rough around the edges especially the interior, 2014+ are ALOT better put together, magnetic ride, and for 2014 that was a properly nice interior, 5th gen definitely a supercar, 4th gen and lower was arguably a sports car with supercar power and almost hyper car torque at the time
I take my comment from the last video back. This is now the best intro ever from this channel.
How about a Viper ACR vs the Z06 when it's released?...
z06 wont have manual; kinda pointless imo as these two are not only naturally aspirated but manual transmission heroes. If we bring the z06, we bring in the ferraris, the lambos and such
it was about natural aspirated manuals
Don't tell them what to do tough guy!!
Ever since the 90s it's always been Corvette vs Viper in terms of American "super" cars. Look at all the past car and driver and Motortrend magazine covers. I have always loved the Viper but the C7 Corvette was gorgeous and now the C8 is just a beast. It'd be fun nonetheless
@@TheRvg03gt lol. That's why I put a question mark at the end :P
Why is this even a comparison the class of the porsche is just on another level
Without watching the video, my choice is the Viper. The Porsche could be better, regardless of that i love how the Viper looks, sounds and drives.
The start of this video was so much fun. Well done guys.
You actually put ice cream in your pocket lmaooo. Thanks TH ya'll rock
NICE. new intro kept the i8 part lol.
ALSO WOOHOO TH ON TRENDING
The viper GTS fifth gen is my favorite car, quite amazing it showing up on a throttle house vid.
When I first found this channel, I subbed for the “messing about” portion and stuck around for the cool cars❤
Seeing James pull out that ice cream is only made better by realizing how many times he had to put it back into his pocket.
I had a lot of fun watching this. Cheers lads
“The sports car list, as everyone agrees, starts at Miata” 😂😂😂
That intro is stupendous! Best comedy right here!
The Viper looks awesome and stands out while the Porsche (some numbers) Looks like the same for the last 20 years
ALWAYS include the outtakes boys. That gave me a solid chuckle.
Ok but can we talk about that viper logo turning red.
Im taking the Viper hands down
"Imagine if airplanes had wheels" - absolutely lost it, holy cow that was hilarious.
Love You Guys - Another super great video. Thanks
I have always felt that the Mercedes AMG GT was supposed to be the cleaned up or “classy” version of the Viper. And it is amazing but it lost the brash, unapologetic fervor the Viper has in abundance. Great review and as always made me laugh out loud multiple times.
It actually is. The core design was from the days the parent company Diamler owned Dodge. Looks up SLS AMG and Viper.
@@sunnyvalentino I appreciate that! Always felt like I was the only one that saw it but no one ever acknowledged. I dove into some of those articles and super cool to see what they did. I still wish they had the gull wing doors now that I see it.
except that the amg gt still kinda sucks no matter how "classy" the oustide is
it will always be 2nd fiddle to the 911

Love the outtakes at the end!
GT3 is just perfect
Another throttle house day at work for me💪
A very entertaining video. Nice work guys.
I’ll never get sick of driving my Vipers. The big stupid smile I get on my face from the moment I fire up that bellowing V10 stays on my face for hours after the drive is done. It might be a raging beast of a car, but boy is it something truly special & exciting to drive!!!
PS: The GT3 Touring is pretty darned incredible too!!! 🏎💨
The intro is from another world! 🔥🔥🔥
With Vipers, you have to get the exact one that was on your wall when you were 9. This one just doesn't do it for me. It has to be a Gen 2 GTS and it has to be blue with white stripes. A Gen 1 convertible, red with a tan rag is also cool, but it wouldn't satisfy the itch.
Even though my favs this gen, I respect older ones too
I laughed my ass off with that introduction 😅😅😅 . You guys are awesome
The last Viper ACR holds all the records.
just because the others don't want to set lap times, most of the tracks the viper has a record on the next car is one from over 30 years ago, for example a ferrari f355

That viper is one of the most beautiful machines ever made by man
If I was choosing one car to be a jack of all trades, it'd be the Porsche. If I had a primary/daily car already, the Dodge is a no brainer. The viper will go down as a very special car in history, probably the last 'mass' produced v10 manuals ever. The problem with Porsche is that they are so good and there are so many similar looking models that they get a little boring after a few months of a new one coming out. Owning a car like the Viper that wants you dead every time you put your foot down would bring a smile to my face.
Both have there pro's and con's and are beautiful cars, but i would have to go for the viper due to the insane power they are capable of making.
Although that is a legitimate ultimate sports car genuine "Porsche" .....I also would take the Viper.
most people would get in and ride with you in a Porsche , most people would be afraid to get in and ride with you in a Viper.
That is respect, in a counter-intuitive way.
