Almost like it was meant to be! But I’m not gonna argue with you on that one 🤣

Appreciate that my friend! I’m excited to give it a go with your idea soon…

🙏

A necessary start to any day

I’ve always wondered about this myself, or what happens when it’s someone’s first time there and they haven’t seen the menu yet..

Definitely a hard thing to get used to for sure

I used to be

@@mentalmotors935 dang, would have loved to see the car.

Appreciate that! Same here.

Appreciate that! It’s definitely an awesome spec. It has personal sentiment to me being the cover car to the first Forza Horizon, a game I absolutely loved.

@@mentalmotors935 makes sense, glad you got a spec that had some meaning to you. I’d love to be able to get a gen V viper within a decade or two after my life settles down a bit. Until then I’ll keep watching whenever you post lol.

@@davidbresnahan2227 I agree, definitely makes it even more special than my dream car already is for me. I appreciate the love my friend, recording the next video this Sunday and hope to have it released early next week!

Appreciate it! There’s nothing else like them imo.

Lol not sure my heart could handle watching my baby get “Reliability tested” 😂 the next video I was planning on doing a POV backroads cruise. I’m curious if you could tell me more about what you mean by “…a third person type of Viper driving video like a therapy session” ? Sounds like a really interesting idea.

Possibly, or maybe a 9L!

Appreciate that!

Hey, sold it for a number of different reasons. Primarily wanted to pull cash out for a house purchase as I was gearing up to move for my career. I also wanted to get a bit of a nicer spec overall, and this Forza Horizon spec GTS certainly fit the bill for me. So that amongst some various other reasons.

Appreciate that!! Had to get after it for this event for sure

Yes, will settle to 750 after it warms up

Appreciate it!

1300X

I had a Gen 3 first before this Gen V. Any Gen is amazing tbh!

I mean it could definitely be done, but I personally wouldn’t want to. I’d rather enjoy it as a secondary car.

They are not meant for my state with all the pot holes

Yeah I regret forgetting that… next time!

💪

This is why I usually prefer driving them home! Appreciate it man.

car is sold

Various different issues ranging from minor to not so minor.

Firstly, I appreciate the love for the channel man that means a lot! I'm glad to know that I'm moving in the right direction whilst still being my authentic self. Got some fun and cool stuff coming soon! Secondly, the switch is for a multiplicity of reasons: 1. Financial Reasons - I am moving to Virginia soon and wanted to free up cash for that move/ buying a house 2. Car Dynamics - You made some really great points, and yes for me personally I feel as though those are very accurate statements. Don't get me wrong, the raw power and experience of going WOT in a 4 digit power Viper is INSANE but for my overall use desires and goals, it just didn't fit. For example, I thoroughly enjoy mountain driving and the turbo power band just didn't really work for that. I'm looking to get back into that as an activity far more, as well as road tripping and road course stuff occasionally. So this build will definitely be staying NA. BUT I did have a major life goal of doing such a build and hitting 200 in a half mile event, and this build made it happen; so I definitely wouldn't say I regret the decision overall. 3. Reliability - Having the big power was fun, but the reliability concerns weren't. I was not thrilled with the amount of headaches I had to deal with during the ownership. Was not what I expected. But again, that's why I feel an NA build will be far more suited for what I'm looking for out of the platform! 4. Overall Spec - Yes, you're right a wrap could theoretically accomplish the color change that I was after; but I'm a paint guy through and through. No hate to any people with wraps, there's definitely some badass stuff out there! But me personally I just prefer paint. Furthermore, it also has a far nicer interior setup (Laguna leather, Alcantara headliner). And frankly it's just a nicer, cleaner car from front to back lol.

@@mentalmotors935 Thank you for the detailed information. I suspected some of this based on a close friend experiencing similar ownership.. Also welcome to the DMV (DC, Maryland/Virginia) area. Congrats on the new pick up.. Yellow definitely pops. Mine is black/black with Laguna package so I get what you're saying about the quality.

@@10sect78 thanks man! If you’re in the area I’d love to link sometime!

It's like you're reading my mind! Yes, I'm definitely going to be keeping this one NA and have looked heavily at builds like SneakySnakes' car as a model of how I'd like to go about doing it. I love his solid power, usability, and most importantly the reliability. I think I saw him post he recently hit 12k miles on the 9L and I know he beats the SNOT out of it so that's really awesome to see it go that far without hiccup.

@@mentalmotors935 Look at the Calvo Gen V 9L Stroker Package looks more solid and they don't use the standard useless ecu. They use Motec

@@TheWorsey Calvos 9L is incredibly good, but imo the prefix 9L stroker is much more versatile. After riding in sneakysnakes car I truly believe his car to be the perfect street car. Plus he beats the hell out of it (as he should!) and it drives flawless every time. Just a personal opinion sharing my experience with the prefix setup but regardless both setups are a win win lol

@@mentalmotors935 His setup is perfect imo. I was anticipating the ride so much because he has my dream car + dream build but somehow it impressed me more than I thought! I was speechlessc and jiggling like a child 😂😂. Even now when I watch the videos I took of my ride along I can’t help but smile, Alex is such a cool guy which made the ride even more enjoyable! He saw I left him a message that I was deploying soon and he gave me and my buddy a ride before I ship out. But his car is so capable, I’ve rode in a 5th Gen (SRT trim) and it felt great, and planted but Alex’s car… whole different animal.

​@@TheWorsey Motec is more expensive, Prefix most probably produces the same power without spending the extra cash on the ECU.

Turbo car was fun but I believe an NA car is far more in line with my personal use goals and overall usability. It did, but it's been 10 years at this point so it's out of the warranty. I've also heard that the rare instances where that warranty actually needs to be used, it's made to be an EXTREMELY difficult process... but that's just what I've heard from word of mouth. Best solution I have in mind is drop in a fresh 9L ASAP - LOL

@@mentalmotors935 be carful sometimes the fog switch for the rear glass makes it shatter

@@TheWorsey was thinking about just pulling the fuse entirely!

It was

@@mentalmotors935 did you put it back into stock form?

@@readyon3506 no, sorry that was a bit of a goofy response lol; my previous Viper was a Calvo build. I now have a new GTS that is bone stock.

@@mentalmotors935 Oh I see because I believe i saw you racing Itsjusta6 Shelby GT500 with your Calvo Viper, right?

On to the next

Appreciate it!!

Couldn't agree more!

Appreciate it! I definitely will always have love for the Mustangs tho, as that's where I originally came from... I plan on getting another S197 in the next couple years!

I plan on it, thanks for the suggestion 🙏 gonna be doing plenty more mountain stuff soon

@@mentalmotors935 hell yea
