Best one by far. I would either get a paint job like this, silver body with blue stripes, or all black. Seriously one of the most beautiful cars ever built.
100% agree, i have wanted one ever since juiced 1 came out, i have only ever seen one in front of me in some random showroom in the city, i wanted to touch it so bad but could only stare at it through a window
You can get a good one for 30,000. Its not that hard. Once I get a decent job Ill buy one after 5 years. I am keeping my porsche 924 though as a daily driver.
Chris Marek You can get a 1993 for 25k. The only thing is Vipers require premium fuel, though if you get that kind of car, why wouldn’t you put only premium in it?
Kazooie best waifu Hands down. Because “premium” isn’t special. It’s the octane rating. Many high compression motors require premium fuel (include civic si’s). If your car requires 86 octane fuel, you don’t “treat the car” to premium. It’ll make it run worse and it’ll burn more.
Beautiful car, I'm shocked I missed this until now! I have a somewhat similar Viper, a B&W 1996 UGR TT GTS (built by UGR and with twin 78mm turbos instead), it's amazing these cars can make well over 1000 rwhp on pump gas! I've never been able to find out what it makes on race gas on the dyno, the tires won't hold above 1500 hp. It did run in the 7's years ago, so it's pretty damn fast. Anyway, hopefully Micheal still owns his!
Hi thegatesofsleep, Stay focused and I look forward to riding along side you soon :-) Think you'll enjoy this video, Lou ua-cam.com/video/kVxNd7ppQ2g/v-deo.html
its my dream car from 1996 too...but here in Italy man...thats quite impossible if your name isn't Berlusconi or Briatore...iv got a Mustang, i know, nothing to compare to Mighty Viper GTS...but hey...we do what we can nope?...love the Mustang i have but the dream about GTS still there in my mind and my heart...never say never.
Hi, Glad to share this vide with you. I had a Mustang before I purchased my Viper. If the Viper is in your heart, stay with it, and you're right, never say never. If it happened to me, it can happen to you. Here is my car, Lou ua-cam.com/video/kVxNd7ppQ2g/v-deo.html
Your Viper is absolutely BAD ASS!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!! Great job man!! Looks beautiful, and looks like a tight, clean, setup under the hood! Congrats and enjoy!!
I'm a Vette guy but America will never be the same without the Viper R.I.P. YOU WILL BE MISSED! And the old GTS vipers are the best sounding vipers ever that side exaust just sounds like shit, and damn that's the baddest viper I've ever seen! And I love the motor! Wtg I'm sooo jeleous!

Hi Clark Griswold, Here is a tip my Insurance Agent shared with me. If the car is 10 years old or older and has low miles on it, it can be considered a classic and the cost to insure the car is about 1/2 the price. Hope that helps, Lou
And not only that, exist a 220mph speedometer specific for those vipers (92-2002), and I think that that 220mph speedometer must have been in that car, and not the 180mph or 200mph speedometer.

@@loucostabile Not only that, I wish that it produce biodiesel or something like biodiesel for those cars, I love their sounds, but i wish that the fuel be biodegradable, not only the internal combustion, also the electricity needs be produced of ecologic way, without hurt or use things that come from the nature, like that, you could use the car without modified it and without be worried if it pollute the air. ;)

I’m picking up an RSI Twin Turbo Gen 2. Sounds exactly like this on startup, cam, engine lifter noise etc. setup looks identical and also uses an AES controller. How fast is this thing? I have a stock Gen 2 Viper and I’m very interested to hear how much faster this is.
If you didn't pick it up, it's a LOT faster than a stock gen 2. If you did, you now know, lol! I have a B&W 1996 UGR TT GTS with their 3R package, stupid fast, even for what's now an old car...

I will have a 96 gts before there huge money.I remember back in 96 racing one with my 1987 5.0 mustang gt and I just had exhaust and headers and guess what the viper destroyed me.Today there still awesome car's even tho there only 450hp.But I am sure I can add some power and the stock motor can handle.
Oh CrazyTech Guy, Not everybody has to be over the top with their car. To build a Beast like this and share it with you, is good enough for me :-) Stay well and stay tuned, Lou
Lou Costabile When you opened the hood i was in awwwwww 😍😍😍.... I've watched some of your other videos because I'm working on buying a Viper myself. I like the 96's, 2000's, 03's, and 06's... I've always wanted one since 93 when I was 10. I use to have a model of the 96 one so I've been a fan since I was a kid as well.
Lou Costabile Thank You, My other dream car is the Jaguar XJ220, the only problem I had with the Jag is Ford ruined it by getting rid of the v12 motor and putting a v8 in it. But the color and everything of this car is exactly what i want in my viper. When I do get mine, I will be taking it to Hennessey to get it Dyno'd to 1khp.

Best one by far. I would either get a paint job like this, silver body with blue stripes, or all black. Seriously one of the most beautiful cars ever built.
idc what anyone says... the viper is awesome.
Totally agree, Lou
100% agree, i have wanted one ever since juiced 1 came out, i have only ever seen one in front of me in some random showroom in the city, i wanted to touch it so bad but could only stare at it through a window
Lou Costabile im going to swap a viper engine into a mustang
Might want to measure that Mustang engine compartment first :-)
People that rag on it are the ones who can't drive it.
One day I'll have a Viper sitting in my garage. One day.
You can get a good one for 30,000. Its not that hard. Once I get a decent job Ill buy one after 5 years. I am keeping my porsche 924 though as a daily driver.

1999 RT/10 Silver with black stripes. I love the thing especially with the top off, such a blast to drive!

my dream car is also a viper
You have great taste ! Lou
im working hard to one day own not one but three
A GTS, and two ACR with the extreme kit
Sounds like a solid plan, Lou
where did he get the underhood mat with the logo like that from?
Hi Davey's Fresh Reviews, I think it comes with the car. Hoping if I'm incorrect a Viewer can share knowledge, Lou
@@loucostabile Its a decal applied to the stock hood mat.
This guy has a real Keanu Reeves vibe goin' on!
That's cool :-)
He looks more like Keanu Reeves... very calm

Would the owner consider selling?
Not aware of his interest in selling this car.
I might be...
