The Dodge Viper is easily one of the most dangerous cars in the world. In no small part to its massive 8 liter (which grew to 8.4!) V10, that has a powerband more like a high performance electric car than a typical combustion engine. But why does it have a V10 in the first place? And just what is it that makes the car so dangerous? Trav dives in and finds out.

dodge had it on file and they still owned the Patent at the time and Carol Shelby followed lee Iacocca like a puppy dog, and lee tolerated it because it sold cars. the trouble with that is Carol loved to throw the bones with other people's money a little too much.
them all the reasons you need?
lee knew how to keep him in check. Carol wasn't brand loyal he was Carol loyal. he'd work for anybody if he thought it get him closer to where he wanted to go,
so much as stated so, i don't fault him for that. a lot of people thumbed up their noses at him along the way.
he stated that as well he went where the work was, and not everybody loved him at the time. faced the same troubles you and i would if we did the same thing he just had a unique way around it. some would say questionable. i say "this" if you could sidestep a bullet, [wouldn't you]?
Yo there's some weird account going around saying people have been selected as winners or something seems like they are posing as idealmedia
I missed it, what is the fatal FLAW that makes the Viper so deadly? I have a 2017 GTS-V that I don't think is very dangerous at all. Thanks in advance.
I've driven a Viper for 15 years...
It will only try to kill you if you tell it to do so
Idk man, my suspension is so stiff that one wrong bump makes the car want throw me into a ditch
Right?! 😅
@@whitejodeci8926 crazy as it sounds I think that's what people like about it.
@@jeffreyzabawski4862 I definitely like how raw the car is, with the part shortage though, it's becoming a pain in the ass
@@whitejodeci8926 alignment checked? If so make sure whoever does it has the correct tools to measure rear caster and can measure frame height, and make sure they follow the official procedure EXACTLY. Including relieving the preload in all the bushings with the car ballasted
About 3 years ago two young men were killed in a Viper where I live in Monroe NY. I think they were around 20 years old or so. Apparently, the young man who owned the car let his friend drive it and they both were killed. No high HP car is a toy and unfortunately many people don't have the discipline to restrain themselves behind the wheel of a high performance car.
It’s also a car with certain handling “characteristics” that take time to get out on top of. You’ve got to put some real miles on one to sort out how to get the most out of it without it throwing you into the tree rows. But be patient, learn the car, and it’s a sweetheart.
Wholly shit, I'm in Plum House reading this comment. What are the odds
Anytime anybody asks if they can drive, just hand them this referenced…
I’m in Syracuse lol
Hahaha what a story Mark.
Viper is absolutely amazing. They team always seems to make something out of nothing. Even when finances and resources are (extremely) limited.
"You're not allowed to put V8s in your car, no more big engines for you, Dodge, I got you now"
*Puts a bigger V10 instead*
"Wait that's illegal"
The second gen GTS is always going to be my dream car 🤩
buy it bud.
Possibly the very best Dodge Viper video on RUclips. Your passion for this Beast is clear. Great editing with original pictures/video. Thanks for the video.
Facts, I got chills watching this. The viper is definitely an icon for alot of people, especially for me I grew up with it on gran tursimo and youtube videos. It's definitely going down in history forever.
Thank you SO much for watching. Glad you liked it!
@@IdealMediaChannel thank you for making it!
@@IdealMediaChannel I agree, it truly was, great job.
“This car… will *kill you”* -RCR
This car… will not stop YOU from killing your self. It only does what you tell it to do, like any other car. ☠️🔥💥 🌲⬅️🏎💨
Love the gen 1 and 2 Vipers. Those will always be the standard for me. Awesome cars.
I own a 94 sr1, drive it every weekend and I love it... 400hp hits different in this car than a modern car... Very fast car and very fun... Handles amazing.. Arguably in the right hands as good as modern supercars honestly.. There super reliable as well.. Probably the most reliable supercar...
Here in town, in about 1994 or 1995, A dealership was either letting someone test drive one, or just sold it.. but right out of the lot, spun out of control and sideways into a light pole.
The fourth gen will always be my favorite. It’s the most beautiful, and it has the 8.4l v10
Me watching this video: "Damn, shouldn't get this car."
me 1 minute later: "How cheap can a used viper get?"
I was 8 when the VIPER debuted in Detroit in 89. My favorite car. I have driven 2 different gens. I learned alot from your video. Thank you.
I thought the decision on whether to use the v10 instead of a super charged v8 came because Carol Shelby (one of the designers) was admitted into the hospital at the time couldn't answer the phone. He wanted the v8 because it would have been lighter than the v10 with the same hp when boosted. So they made the decision without him.
Well, done bud! Really enjoyed this. It’s a trip, though. Seeing this now, having seen these videos of these 1800 to 2400 hp vipers now.…. Incredible! Thanks for the vid!
@idealmedia - what an exciting video for a car which people hate to love. Would be more happy to see a whole lot more trivia!
I got chills while watching this, but can’t wait to see more !!
this guy's narrative skills are incredible
You know the answer!! Of course we want more Viper content!! Specially out of that 5th and unfortunately last generation!! Dodge should bring it back with a 6th Gen!!
Love the Viper when I was 12 I had a black v10 viper roadster scale model that machine that dodge and Chrysler made will forever be my favorite v10
Nice paintjob you have done to your personal Viper Trav! Love the new bad boy'd white strips on black paint, I still remember the OG Plastidip green paint tho, in comparison the new paintjob looks sick AF and actually emits the vibe of someone who has got a lotta connections and monetary power
@6:14 I'm glad (and surprised) that y'all showed kw and nm as well. Thanks, from South Africa🖒🖒.
7:57 hey its my car again, thanks guys.
Epic! Interesting stuff about the V8's been off the table out of the question, team viper with the first gen, Viper made by hotrodders. I recently created a Forza series gameplay audio comparison with the GTS 8LV10. Also a fun fact from the other recent viper video "Dodge Viper //OVERDRIVE" I heard, the Viper inspired the shape of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG
I always sorta thought the SLS shared a similar look I thought I was tripping
Love it! I hope you can tell us more about the viper.
My one and only fav car ever since my childhood the dodge viper..... This is the car we won't see in our country but i fell in love with this car when i played NFSMW that handling that power only fit for the best from the rest ❤️
Like yeah this video was one of the most interesting to me love the viper thank you and the rest of the Ideal crew
Them first Gens were so Raw, basically a race car that was somehow street legal. I remember when that thing was the Pace Car for the Indy 500 and a lot of people were blown away after seeing it for the first time.
The absolute dream car every kid that grew up playing Need for Speed, or any racing game in the 90s!
I just clicked off 121k miles in my 2000 Rt/10. Topless in Florida in a Viper. Nothing like a Viper. Nothing. Well done vid! Subscribing!
Another banger keep up the good work!
I love the viper and this video was very informative!!
Funny, the video game Juiced has the Dodge Viper (fastes car in the game). The handling on it is wild. Really gotta have steady control, Specifically turning tight corners or any corner for that matter.
Love the video. Viper is one of my favorite cars.
I can never hear too much about my dream car. Let's get a part 2!!!
Viper is still the best modern American sports car ever made. I don't care if other cars are technically faster, this car is exactly what made American cars sought off. Big motor, raw power.
I always thought that they would do away with the V10 and put the Hemi V8 in at some point but they never did and the car died with the engine it started with.
Yes please, more viper videos ❤️
More! Great video
I had a BMW E39 station wagon that I converted to an M5 station wagon look alike. Super fun fast car, I let a buddy of mine drive it thinking no big deal. 1st corner, he started getting on the gas and spun it right around and T bone another car. It was the 1st time I realized, some people have no idea what a fast car can really do, and those people should not be driving them.
All cars are fast, some just take longer to get to the fast part. What your friend did is achievable in any modern vehicle. some people shouldn't drive a "performance" vehicle of which an E39 is most definitely not one of.
Hey I wanted to know what you use to search for cars for purchase. I was looking for cars on auto trader and carvana and can never find the car that I want and then I see you find one and put it into your video and usually for $10,000 or under
I like how Trav's presentation is a mix of Top Gear and Doug DeMuro vibes
That penzoil viper commercial is bad arse mane! 🐍 ⛽️ 💪🏻
Imagine if a 6th gen happens and they follow the C8 and go flat plane crank V10
That would sound so good
Very well done…and mostly correct but just mostly 👍! I enjoyed this video and the next video. Thanks!!

Viper!!!!! 😍🥰 I've wanted a Viper ever since the first time I saw one sitting at a light in 1995, a forest green '94 RT/10. 🤤🤤 One day I will have a Viper. It will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine.
I believe in you Eric🙏🏾 some day you’ll get ur dream car ! Mine is a f10 M5 😤
@@JOEJOE-td5kr , excellent choice. 👍
Intro... that's a constrictor, non venomous snake, learn your vipers guys... Otherwise, thank you! This latest ACR is dream material for me 😍 One day I'll own one 🤞🏻
I've been driving a 2000 GTS for years now, no aids whatsoever. I don't go 10/10 but I'll say if the tires are remotely old/worn you're going to be in a lot more trouble. I will say the tire size also attributes to the car being extremely darty. If you hit uneven pavement on the highway, it wants to change direction very quickly. I have 81,000 miles on my car, it runs great. Minimal cabin noise in the way of squeaks and rattles. Parts are becoming a nightmare to source (I paid 800 for a water pump), and if you mess the body panels up you're pretty much screwed.
$800 for the water pump, $2,000 FOR THE FUEL PUMP!?!?!?!?!?!?😢
Congratulations on 1M
Nobody ever highlights the
Positive of this cars legacy
The ACR set more track records
Than any car in production history
In addition to covering more info on the Viper can you do one on the Chrysler ME412?
It’s like you read our minds… 😉
Yes, please give us more viper information!
Congrats on hitting 1 million subs
Love the stache
Congrats on 1M 🍷
I remember a time when there was no traction control. No computer aided anything. 😅It makes things fun!
You had to be able to drive back then… not like today
It also makes things more deadly 😅
My favorite Car ! Just because when I was 10 my aunt give me hotwheels ( Dodge viper ). And I like that car. And I got it my dream car.❤️🔥🔥
I was looking to buy ACR viper and the price was around 300k but that car is worth it every penny I wish I could go back to 2017 and saved all my money to buy the green ACR it's so much pain for me because I didn't have a better job to be able to make good money buy one the price is so insane for those viper out there right now I wish they keep continue making them ): I'll wait maybe one day!
It bothers me multiple "Snake" clips used Pythons and not Vipers.... haha
Waiting for the part 2
The copperhead Viper from 3rd Gen and the Hennessey Viper from Gen 4 are my favorites
Government: NO MORE V8s!
Dodge: Very well. We’ll just add 2 cylinders, suck it!
More please!!!
the viper gts looks like a modern Ferrari 250 GTO w the kam tail to the swept rear hatch to the long hood. just breathtaking from every angle
What an absolute work of art
Great video, great car! I like the opposite though, Mazda RX7 FD 1.3 liter! Yeah!!!
IDEAL HIT 1M SUBS!!!
Thank you for the story on the Dodge Viper very educational plus I'm a speed freak anyway
I’m extremely happy that Dodge decided to resurrect the Dodge Viper.
Seeing the normal looking viper with the Lemans cars is so funny to me
No seriously Trav really got 3 Vipers?!
Talks about a Viper shows us a python 😂
We need you to talk more about the viper and the last viper acr
I like the Gen 4, i may be a little biased 😛
Ociffer Danger lol
Ngl, bought a Harry razor after Gillette ran that “the best a man can get” ad, been using the same one since. It’s pretty nice, but it’s hard to mess up a razor lmao
Officer Danger looks like Joe Exotic....😂😂😂
Yes, please finish the story!!!
Interesting information you shared. A bit of it is new even to me. I own a 93 gen 1 Viper antenna car and I love mine :) It's the last badass American car ever made :) The OG Viper:)
At least if i died in a 5th gen viper, my family would understand.
I’d also imagine the cops and EMTs on scene would be jealous 😎
Thanks, I drive my Hennessey Venom Viper daily and there is no need to ever do anything stupid in it on a public road.
How much does a wrecked viper cost, because I would like to put a 26b rotary engine in one
I can think of a few cars more dangerous....
The earlier models of the Koenigsegg CCX
Porsche Carrera GT
Shelby Cobra 427
Mustang(crowd killer)
Zenvo ST1
You beat me to it with the Carerra GT.
Porsche 911 1963-1985
@@TopG800 ah yes. The widowmaker
@@khaosking2937 but the most dangerous is the 2001 9/11
@@TopG800 yes that one was infamous
Try to tame a wild beast, it is gonna fight back. And Viper drivers learned that the hard way.
I can attest harrys blades stay sharp for a long time
Amazing car
by bob lutz don’t you mean lee iacoca? Bob Lutz was a GM guy lol
I thought that the viper has a Borg Wagner transmition instead of a tremec...I could be wrong of course
10:30 the 96-02 viper in my opinion was the best looking. that and the 2003-2005 convertible as well
In deed. Timeless design.
The more dangerous car is the famous 1969(?) 800 hp Shelby Cobra. Only two were made, one car survived.6ft wheelbase. And the TVR Cerberus Speed Twelve is another you're guaranteed to die in if you drive it.
Love my scatpack challenger but I also need and want a viper
I want one even more now 🙂
The GEN 3 with a Gen 5 ACR HOOD !
I'd love to see a video for each generation of viper.
My favorite car 🖤
The prototype viper started off as a Corvette chassis
Thanks for featuring this American 🇺🇸 icon👌
Cool 😎 !
More Vipers please
This guy has never heard of a TVR Tuscan... It makes the Viper seem like a Corolla.
