Haha, I suspect he just might!

No one here can dispute how quick modern EVs are, even pedestrian ones like the Hyundai. The technology and performance is seriously impressive for sure.

@@stevetheodore_specialtycars I'll still never own an ev, my mom does and it's a nissan leaf and even my 97 accord beats it lol Still, if you lice in a city ev's can be cheap to keep

It really is. I've always loved the visual impact of Dodge Vipers across all their generations, and my friend Sean really takes great care of this one.

To have fun!

What's even crazier is a quick Google search h shows the ioniq 5 does 0-60 in 4.4 seconds. The viper in this clip does it in 4.5 😅

I agree, and there are probably a lot of cool EVs coming our way in the years to come too.

Yeah I'm all for EV as long as folk know that they aren't all that great for the environment either. I seriously don't know how hybrids have been so neglected

I believe my friend mentioned that it's called Blu Corsa or something close to that. I definitely agree!

He sure would, but that isn't the point, is it?

@@stevetheodore_specialtycars then what IS the point?

@@DodgerFloof To celebrate specialty cars of course!

@@stevetheodore_specialtycars Ioniq 5 is also pretty special, especially the N

@@DodgerFloof - I’m glad you think so

Best of the Best stuff here! Seriously amazing to see in person every single time.

I have to admit I did have the same thought!

I was laughing to myself as I realized right about the same time that I needed to go to a gas station as well. But, as you said the smiles per gallon are extremely high on the Viper indeed!

Yeah, I agree the term 'kit' car seems a bit rough as it's more of a complete car. However, it doesn't get a full 17 digit VIN either, just a specialty constructed vehicle 'short' VIN, which means that it's technically a kit car. But, what a marvelous kit car it is! I was looking at a real one on an online auction a few days ago and it's really striking how different the engine placement is on the factory built car (which is truly rear engine).

@@stevetheodore_specialtycars Thanks for the reply. If I were go the replica route, this is the one that I would choose over the VW based. Dont get me wrong... I currently run a modded MK6 sportwagon, so not a knock on VW. But pan chassis and old school suspensions and carbs no longer cut it in my book. Yes, they are more period correct, but if not a real 356....does it matter?

@@joseph-ow1hf I agree that it doesn't matter and this replica really does seem like a tremendous way to go. A well engineered solution you can enjoy regularly

@@stevetheodore_specialtycars Obviously agree. W/ the modernized version, you get ABS, and air/con if optioned. My VW dealer has a real 356 in showroom that was race prepped. I'll bet it's worth at least $250 K, if not more. Price of vintage Porsche is still off the charts. But IMO they do build the best sports cars in the world. Who knows, I might end up in Germany. Maybe cheaper there. Will miss my little VW wagon. It's a sleeper.

Beauty car, Personally this is the drivers choice

I remember thinking similarly when I saw the factory style badges to be honest. On the one hand, it's clearly a kit car and not a factory built Porsche but on the other hand what could it actually be? Meaning I think it would be more offensive to put a factory badge on plenty of other imposters. But, I totally hear you!

@@stevetheodore_specialtycars exactly if I built a toy model I would put the badge on with impunity

@@Stew666able I got a nice laugh from that comment!

Thank you for helping to fill in the blanks!

I'll be picking your brain soon enough for some strategy advice, not to mention ways to get more out of my newly purchased equipment. Thanks so much for everything you always do to cheer me on!

Not my car and recently sold. I wanted to be on very good behavior!

You're right, this is a real GT40 (replica)

Thanks, and I do very much agree with you. That was the very first one that I recall seeing in person, so I'm glad I was able to share it on my channel.

Yes, it’s known to be an issue that affects stock LS7s. This particular car has a built valvetrain and aftermarket cam

@@stevetheodore_specialtycars Was the Cam also an issue, or did you replace the cam for power, or for matching the new valvetrain?

@@RUclipsCommentator. I don't know why it was replaced, meaning it could have been for an issue or could have just been in the desire for more performance. The owner I was representing got it from her brother, but the brother bought it from the person who carried out the modifications. Car has since sold so it's a moot point and the new owner is extremely happy with it.
