people will say the corvette is america's best. but to me, its the viper. raw, unadulterated. i agree the viper is totally outdated by comparison but man ... look at this thing. atleast its nice to know this car lives on in the new sls.
The discontinuation of the Viper Convertible Roadster was one of the factors that led to the poor sales that killed the car. A prototype was built ,(as was a Challenger Convertible Concept), but neither went into production. Who ever heard of a Sports Car that's NOT available as a convertible ?
You know what the problem was? it costed over 100K Bucks and thats also untypical for the Dodge Viper and there, ther other Cars with the same Performance and also having Luxury and it was too Expensive for Viper Fans and Viper Fans are more Loyal to that Car, The Other Problem was the Engine Problem it had. i mean with that Money i could also buy an Porsche. But i guess the Voper will comeback sooner or later and i live nad i like Germany Cars too but the Dodge Viper is my all time Favourite. Both the Dodge Viper and Chevrolet Corvette proofed that Americans can also make Super Cars like the Europeans but also making it Cheap and less Luxury
Lots torque / power down low means you can have an insanely long 6th gear, keeping the revs very low at crusing speeds. The C6 Z06 with its 7 litre LS7 V8 can get 29+ U.S MPG also :)
my favourite supercars of all time are : 1-dodge viper srt10 convertible roadster 2-mercedes benz slr mclaren roadster 3-chevrolet corvette zr1 4-aston martin one-77 5-mercedes benz sls amg roadster
I WILL have one before I am too old to enjoy it. Drove a 94’ (it was $20k, should have bought it). Ended up with a Porsche, later some Corvettes. Luckily my girl loves them too, so no “wife says no” issues.
I like how motor week even in modern times ..up to 2010 and on..still films their reviews with VHS cinematography, post edits in MS dos analog and hosts are at least 5-10 years still behind in dress wear
This was a special time for America, a new Ford gt, near 200 mph corvettes, supercharged mustang's, big v8 pontiacs and a v10 hellspawn to top it all off, oh and for shits and giggles throw that same motor in a truck while you're at it hey
The 2000's was the absolute pinnacle for automobiles, especially performance cars from the Viper SRT10 and Saleen S7 all the way up to the Ferrari Enzo and Porsche Carrera GT.
You ARE talking about the company that produced the Neon and the PT Cruiser. The Viper is awesome indeed but it takes a special breed of stupid to produce Neons and PTs
Chrysler should continue by its own. That stellantis-fiat thing will lead to shared platforms, engines, etc., that will destroy the american identity of chrysler-dodge. But bussiness are first i guess.. Maybe chrysler cant survive by its own.
I'm a car car in general but if you want to play the word game, you could also say Found On Road Dead and Chevy... like a rock, it sinks to the bottom. Personally I think the Viper, Z06.Zr1 Vette and new GT 500 are all great examples of modern muscle with modern tech, especially the new Gen5 Viper.

dodge viper srt10 convertible roadster 2010 can smoke eat and destroy nissan gtr in any challenge or any race dodge viper srt10 roadster 8.4 l v10 600 hp 560 flb is in a higher class in the same level as mercedes benz slr mclaren and chevrolet corvette zr1
12 flat in the quarter mile?? I've seen a stock 2000 Viper clocking 11.7! The 1996-2002 450hp Vipers regularly ran 12.1-12.4 And this one with 600hp runs 12.0???
Bro, this is motor week. Their test #'s are always slow..with that 125 plus mph trap seeped, that viper is a 11.6 on factory tire all day long..& on a set of DR's it will hit 11flat
@TruTube911 ok but can i ask you why porsche did not make a car with 600 hp like the viper yes porsche carrera gt 5.7 l v10 with 605 hp only you just said that porsche can make great horsepower but no therer is not any porsche has more than 600 hp only carrera gt and it costs about 500.000 $ wow viper just costs 92.000 $ and viper has larger engine but better fuel economy than most of porsches with their small weak engines
vipers been a great car....tho dodge has be slacking off.....maybe its time for dodge to come out with something new or do a better upgrading to their models they already have...
yea dude i accpet the fact dat porsche do costs a hell lot more but still dude 8.4l v10 dey must make sumthing out of it atleast 750hp anyways dude i love vipers lol so chuck the topic cheers mate nice to talk wid u :)
With the help of a turbo lol Porsche engines arent shit with out there turbo, its just another six cylinder, i have always been an natural aspirated engine person, now if we are talking about some Porsche high end car, spyder those are is awesome
To bad Porsche can't say any of there motors with or without turbos can make real power like 1000hp to 4000hp.a fully built V10 will destroy anything Porsche has to offer. There small cubic inch couldn't make that kind of power.
@maxthehulk dude porsche 911 gt3 rs 4.0 produces 500 hp a naturally aspirated engine dat is 125 hp per litre dat is a world class performance all porsche models are not turbo soooo 6 cylinders vs 10 cylinders 4.0 l vs 8.4 l so dude u got ur answer here itself cheers
The change to this body style absolutely destroyed the Viper, at least in my eyes... This thing looks like a totally generic, European ish turd that maybe 65-80yr olds would buy to toodle around in.
I think the 03-10 Vipers look way better than the originals, but that's probably because I grew up around the time the 03 Viper was introduced and improved on over its years on sale...

Always my favorite American car. One day I'll own a 1996 GTS in blue with white stripes, or a 2007-2010 SRT10.
How are you making out on that?
Yea how's the viper?
My favorite too.... That Blue GTS is God Sent LOL! We will get one soon !!
How is the viper? Which one did you get?

@@the_judge9771 when was that?
Notice the cars undercarriage tray was bent.
I bet that car taught a couple drivers some lessons lol.
Look at what the Calvo Vipers are doing now days. Such an incredible platform
''For this cars venom THANKFULLY there is no antidote " made my day
This car still looks great today
Gosh I miss the srt-10's.
@TruTube911 porsche is using turbos but dodge viper is all natural
I just shed a tear
Nothing prettier than seeing a Gen3/4 on the track :)
amen to that
I love this guy's excitement. Rightfully so, they are amazing cars.
One of my favorites cars of all time, but I'm definitely partial to my fist gen
Theres was at least 105 snake jokes in this video
Look at those MASSIVE wheels.
I love the way the way they warn you if you cant drive don't even try it lol
Those rear tires are HUGE
22mpg hwy is insanely good for a v10
an 8.4 liter at that lol

the viper is totally awesome im sad its going away i hope they make a new one that is still super gnar
what did you think of the ACR?
I wonder if john actually drives these cars or just takes what the test drivers say, add some puns and make it more eloquent
the best looking car great video and great car
I WILL have one before I am too old to enjoy it. Drove a 94’ (it was $20k, should have bought it). Ended up with a Porsche, later some Corvettes.

jeeze I thought this was a retro review for a second...
I like how motor week even in modern times ..up to 2010 and on..still films their reviews with VHS cinematography, post edits in MS dos analog and hosts are at least 5-10 years still behind in dress wear
The early models had better wheels, like the '05
I just put those wheels on my 96.
still looks cool
This one doesn't even have the navigation, I thought that was standard on Vipers from 2008-on.
I have a 2010 Dodge Viper SRT Final Edition Limited Edition Coupe. #10/50.
It has the navigation AM/FM CD Satellite radio.
Thats my dream car

i still dont get y they are discontinuing the viper line up like its there only real sports car.
These guys never get the viper down the quarter right. Then gen 2 with 450 hp does the quarter at 12.0. They couldn’t go faster with 600 hp?
2023 and It still looks sooooooooo soooo soooo beautiful and sexy from every possible angle...
I say the Viper will be back. Chrysler-Fiat would be really dumb to let it go.
You ARE talking about the company that produced the Neon and the PT Cruiser. The Viper is awesome indeed but it takes a special breed of stupid to produce Neons and PTs

Can someone help me to find the name of the song?
Not at the Nurburgring. Viper rules!
When he talks about the hp all I can think about what’s F&F Tokyo Drift. 😂
For that price id rather have an E55 Kompressor. The viper isn't that much faster than the amg a couple bolt ons will take care of that though.
126mph is nothing to sneeze about. GTR,GT500 and the hell cat all trap about 125mph.

Baha T 126mph on well prepped strip and slicks will do 10.7

This is 2009?? Looks like at least 10 years before that 🤯
I’m glad they haven’t made the stupid decision to turn it into an EV.
An EV would easily do 0-60 in 2.0 seconds........WAY too fast for most American drivers!
crazy to me that a 1995 c36 amg mercedes sedan stops 30 some feet earlier than this thing haha

yea dude i accpet the fact dat porsche do costs a hell lot more but still dude
8.4l v10 dey must make sumthing out of it atleast 750hp
anyways dude i love vipers lol so chuck the topic cheers mate
nice to talk wid u :)
this dodge viper smokes nissan gtr
What does the nissan have a six cylinder or something
@@captainobvious5993 still
I want this viper
If i dont see john davis, i pass!
8.4lL = 600 horse power
u give this to porsche wid same engines size thy will crank around 800 to 1000 hp
With the help of a turbo lol Porsche engines arent shit with out there turbo, its just another six cylinder, i have always been an natural aspirated engine person, now if we are talking about some Porsche high end car, spyder those are is awesome
To bad Porsche can't say any of there motors with or without turbos can make real power like 1000hp to 4000hp.a fully built V10 will destroy anything Porsche has to offer. There small cubic inch couldn't make that kind of power.
ok omg... I really want one. THere is one for sale where I live in this exact color and spec... But I also need to stop wasting money on cars fml...!!
@maxthehulk
dude porsche 911 gt3 rs 4.0 produces 500 hp a naturally aspirated engine
dat is 125 hp per litre dat is a world class performance
all porsche models are not turbo soooo
6 cylinders vs 10 cylinders
4.0 l vs 8.4 l
so dude u got ur answer here itself cheers
This is the most "Chrysler" looking Viper made. It looks too mild, bland. That rear end is just a sin.
Bland? I think the gen 4 Viper is gorgeous. I love those curves and the gills on the hood.
Out of the Viper wheel designs these are the worst looking set. Because the other ones were just so epic!
@maxthehulk
viper produces 71.4 hp per litre
porsche gt3 rs 4.0 produces 125 hp per litre
dats a whopping 53.6 hp more per litre
Turbo
@@CoolioXXX52 GT3's are Flat 6 N/A, however even if the the V10's HP per litre isn't mind blowing, the power is there even at the lowest RPM
Drove this car a year ago on Turo. Wish I hadn't. It was an awful car in every aspect. Shouldve left it as a cool mystery to always wonder about.
That’s the appeal. They are meant to be harsh.
What a wimp, I bet you drive a Miata or think the new Si is better
I wanted to hear about the usefullness of the ac 😔
What does guzzler tax mean?
If a vehicle gets a certain low mpg overall get a gas guzzler tax. Basically its bullshit to get more money out of people who want power not mpg.
Lightning mqueen 😁
it is a much better track car the new got plushed up
👍👍👍👍👍🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷
この車はなんですか?

I accept all friend requests
No more motor wk
how does a 4 door and heavier m5 stop faster....
I'd rather have an older Gen 2. These look way too much like a Corvette and somewhat common looking.
back end looks like a grandpa sedan...

corny narator!..lol
Dodge had really missed the mark with that body styling ugggh
1973charliemarcus you fucking dumb? It looks way better than the new one.
I think the 3rd gen Viper looks a lot better and more aggressive than the bulbous original.
