    Randy is the man. So cool you guys have him on your show.

    Randy is a great storyteller. It was awesome to hear his tales. I think pretty much every day of his life constitutes a good car story.

      Ed Bolian you may be the only one to rival his tales.

    Is there a way I can just pre-like every video that will come out on this channel? I know it is happening!

  • @HorrorUberAlles
    @HorrorUberAlles 6 років тому +42

    What he said about early Vipers being not good-handling cars...! I can imagine a number of purists being triggered by that!
    "B-BUT RANDY Y-YOU JUST DON'T GET IT!!!!!!"

      Light, short wheelbase and lots of general rear wheel traction... until you drive in anger, the traction is gone and you bin it.
      I've never driven a Viper so I've never managed to spin one around but I have had more than enough experience with the situation above, so I know what that feels like. In my experience: mid engine car + lift oversteer makes for a very, very tight pucker factor.
      Once something like that starts to get unsettled, you're usually screwed because by the time you realize it's going around, you're already there and might as well just hang on for the ride.
      So him being a pro, knowing he has to push it and knowing he's right on that edge of grip and _snot on glass_ level slide, it'd be one hell of a nerve-wracking run.

      You actually have to drive them and they will bite you without warning. Nothing wrong with what he said at all. Some people like me are just psychos that like cars that will murder you in a millisecond without warning.

      Had a 2004 Viper that was an absolute handful when compared to my C5 Z06 at the time. I sold it after two months because I had a feeling it would end up failing me under the worst circumstances. Scary to even think about it ...but you need to if you want to drive fast and be safe...ua-cam.com/video/wzpnBGqrAw0/v-deo.html

    • @donnycorn3086
      @donnycorn3086 3 роки тому +1

      Only the ACR was an exception, otherwise, I heard people say the Viper has numb steering. Although I don't have one, but it's pretty understandable for the truck V10.

    I´ve been seeing youtube videos since youtube existed basically, but this is my first comment ever. For someone who just likes cars, just gets basic enjoyment of driving them this channel is just about the literal thing I would imagine I would answer if someone asked me what kind of thing would I like to see on youtube. I hope there´s a lot more to come. Great videos!

    These stories remind me about my truck on dirt. You can just be mid-drift, Like full on sideways, and just let go of the wheel and throttle, and it will center itself. It will even center back up if it overcorrects the first time, provided there's enough road.

    @DirtlovR 6 років тому

    Randy says his first lap is mostly the best lap because "the tires are fresh". I'm no racing driver but I always heard and thought it's the opposite - you go easy few laps so brakes and tires warm up. Also good tires don't wear down after one lap (if you don't go mental on them ofc). Anyone care to explain?

    • @johnmedina7083
      @johnmedina7083 6 років тому

      Kuba No he explained it right you gotta be more careful your breaks aren't as good and it takes longer to speed up since the tire lost alot of grip

    • @DirtlovR
      @DirtlovR 6 років тому

      But like I said warm tires = more grip (especially racing tires) and warm brakes = better braking (unless they start to overheat ofc).
