Mustang Lifestyle’s 07 GT500 Coyote Swapped with the 76mm Turbo is the scariest car I think I’ve ever rode in. Extremely violent and easily the fastest car I’ve ever been in. And with it being my first real race car ride along, I wasn’t used to all the sounds and feelings that come with it.
I used to have a gen 1 Viper. It was such a fun experience. I now have a Gen 2 GTS and it feels odd to say that it feels extremely refined, because it’s still a Viper, but it is compared to the gen 1.
My dads friend had a 911 gt3RS. At my full potential I probably drove that car on the track at 35% on the high end. That was while I thought the car was gonna crash on the ragged edge. I then did 5 laps with a professional driver from Porsche. He drove that car on the actual ragged edge and it was the most terrifying experience I’ve ever had on 4 wheels. Second was my dads 15 GT mustang with a blower and built suspension and drivetrain. That car would break SC2 tires loose in 4th gear on the interstate. Had to pull over when it rained. That car was a trip in a straight line.
I’ve been around quick cars my entire life, but just recently met a fast car. My daughter’s boyfriend has a 2018 mustang with 1300whp. When he hit boost, I think I yelped like a kicked dog. What a beast
Even at an age of 23 you really did have an understanding and respect for power that most people do not.. thanks to hellcats we’re able to sort that crowd out Only 4 minutes In obviously lol
@@DasAutoz yeah 1.8t is ahyt everyone does that engine swap here in South Africa very popular if you want to go turbo but if you go NA people here tend to go MK2 Golf GTI 16V motor the ABF , also the ABF is probably twice the price of a 1.8T motor also nope EA888 is the greatest 2 liter period it's actually absurd how much power they make how well it can handle it and how well it can put down the power with the DSG and the most superior awd system in the world the Haldex
@@chadkennedy8675 The 1.8T is definitely more than “Alright”. It is one of the most tunable, modifiable, durable, engines VW has ever produced. Those engines were ahead of their time, outfitted with a very smart Motronic series ECM, Engines were mostly Forged, Borg Warner turbo systems, many engine variations, the list goes on and on. The 1.8 is incredible. I will say though, the EA888 is definitely legendary.
The scariest car I've ever experienced is my self built LS swapped 95 Impreza Ute. The first 2 iterations of the car was so unwieldy I was terrified to drive it. I've still not once used full throttle. Its getting better as I add bigger and beefier parts to it. ATM its getting frame stiffening and a new solid rear end on a 4 link. I've learned so much from this car I consider it my post grad degree.
Yeah that has got to have some weird weight distro lol. Let alone double the displacement through the drive train like you mentioned. Is that FWD or AWD?
The Omni is why I clicked on this video. My dad had an 87 Shelby Charger. Out of all the cars I've driven over the years I think that's the one I would most like to have. It may not be considered fast today but, my god, when the boost kicked in that car screamed and the fight was on to keep the wheel straight. So much freaking fun.
Scariest was my friends C5Z racing our other friend. We got up to around 160mph because neither wanted to let out, little did I know that the ABS module for his brakes was broken so we had no ABS. We ended up coming up on traffic and needed to stop, as soon as he pumped the brakes we spun out and went across 5 lanes and into the side of the road. NO DAMGE or anyone was hurt and you just hear me say "woooo" after we come to a stop hah.
1967 corvette stingray with the side pipes was mine. Little car with a massive motor- never took it over half throttle and I was still scared shi*less. And yes I burned my leg getting out on the side pipes….
Adam's gt350 was hilarious I've watched that review like 30 times and your reaction is priceless and that's how I know it's scary as hell because it scared you lol
8:10 dude, this is some of the most badass footage of all time. You grappling to control this thing was so pure & raw, and I can only image spectating this from 3rd person. Legendary. Loved that video. 🔥
I absolutely love the Omni GLH! I thought the interior and exterior looked so dope! 🤘🔥 so jealous of the 918, now you need to drive the “widow maker” 993 gt2!
Scariest was a full bolt on and pulley terminator. Raced a s550 roush stage 3 on a terrible asphalt road cover in loose sand and gravel and it snaked every gear, power shifted 4th and it stepped out nearly a full 90 degrees at 120mph. Had to micro blip the gas and correct while still feeding power to keep it from snapping back and forth. Made over 600 whp on street tires😅 thing was a maniacal handful
My $60 civic. It was an 89 ef hatch that had been totalled twice. The steering wheel was a 6 inch drag wheel, no power steering. You touched a wire to the steering column to honk the horn. The headlights were not attached just shut under the hood. The key was a random Honda key I found in the junk yard. It was painted using handicap parking spot paint and one of the engine mounts had broken so the engine smacked the firewall with every gearshift. The tires were all old and bald. One night I got 5 tickets in one sitting for various illegal things about the car. I then drove home in pouring rain for 45 miles. The windshield wipers proceeded to fall off so I stuck my head out of the window. Then I hit a rabbit. I pulled over to reevaluate my life and then drove home. I never got in that car again and I gave it away. If I had kept driving that car at 17, I probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to buy my typhoon a couple years later. Moral of the story: just because you can drive a P.O.S doesn't mean you should.
Scariest car i drove was a v8 vantage (it was stick too!) It was my friends grandmothers car and she was so sweet and let me drive it when i was 17! I was scared of leafs falling on that car lmao. Wish i could go back in time and really put my foot down.
The Dodge Conquest TSI. It was quick but the handling was so tight and quirky that I almost drove it off the road into the trees. It wasn't that it was fast, but it was quick with weird handling. It was the only time I lost control of a car on dry pavement.
Mine was definitely a first Gen Viper. Even though it was only modified to a little over 500 horsepower, it was still scary fast. I'm also 6'3" so I really had to squeeze in there
Car? 1971 Chevelle when I was working at Sears auto center in college. Had to do an alignment on it, and, of course, that meant a road test afterwards. I found it strange that it had Z speed rated tires on it (and they were "huge" for that time, 17's lol). I aligned it and took it out, and realized immediately that I was in WAY over my head. Just breathing on the throttle made it want to swap ends, the power came on like being hit in the face with a baseball bat- sudden, violent, and in such a way that you ended up feeling victimized. The scariest part about it was 4 wheel drum brakes, and no power assist. I realized pretty quickly that the factory alignment specs (which I had it st to) weren't going to cut it, and brought it back and completely re-did the setup (as much caster as I could get, I think I set it at a degree or so negative camber, and pretty close to zero toe). I also had the customer drive it on the second go-round. Dude was in his late 40's, and able to drive it so smoothly that I was left questioning my own ability behind the wheel. He built stock cars, and built the Chevelle out of stuff he had lying around his shop. The guy was cool and all, but I was glad when we got back to the shop in one piece, and that evil beast of a car was out of the parking lot.
So glad we've moved past 4 wheel drum brakes on cars 👍. Just running the rear drums in an 04 TJ for a couple thousand miles were enough for me to invest in a disc brake conversion!
Current ride. '86 G body with mostly stock suspension and 900WHP. Boost by gear is a must, but it is TERRIFYING when it hits high gear, plants the power and does 85mph to 140mph in about 3 sec. MUCH scarier than my '89 R32 GTR with 650AWDHP that does the same pull in the same amount of time.
Scariest for me was experiencing a FI 350Z after having driven a stock one. With the traction control off it would just spin the tires in first gear if you floored it and second gear could break loose if you weren't careful, heck even third could be scary if you didn't know what you were doing. Really teaches respect for power, what added power can do to the way a car drives. I say that because stock you can just put your foot down with little to worry about.
I love the Omni and the owner is a great guy. The car is awesome, but I hope you get to drive another one that is better set-up because they don't ALL do that with high power.
Around 40 years ago I had a 41 Willys coupe with an injected Buick nailhead set back about 8 or 9 inches, muncie 4 speed and a narrowed 57 Ford rear end, it would change lanes when you changed gears, and bumper dragging wheelies, pipes, street legal too!
Tbh scariest car I've ever been in was probably a replica of a 1918 Mercer Raceabout. It probably doesn't compare to any of the cars in this video, but that thing has no doors or roof or really any bodywork around you and barely anything to hold onto. The windshield is a little round piece of glass mounted to the steering column, and the passenger gets goggles. You sit in a little bucket seat with basically no back, and a non-original seatbelt the owner/builder added, and that's it. Add in the relatively primitive suspension and eager torquey 4-cylinder and that car felt like it was going highway speeds at 30 mph. And these things could go over 100 mph back in the day... 100 mph in that thing must've felt like 300 mph in a modern car. I don't think very many people today realize how crazy insane antique sports cars are to drive or ride in, they don't have to be "fast" to make you fear for your life lol. I want one, they're awesome :) I gotta build a Model T speedster at some point, it's probably the cheapest and easiest way to replicate the experience, and they're kind of the precursor to hot rods, or the original tuner car depending on how you look at it.
Craziest experience was in my boy's N54 335i. The thing made 600+ whp and managed to beat a redeye by a fender. He blew the engine and got a new one with a top mount big single turbo instead of the original twin setup. The thing is an absolute fucking riot.
I roll an E88 135i with an N54 making 500hp (Shoutout to the Horsepower Factory in Dandenong, Australia) It isn't even a little bit scary.... those cars are overengineered and designed to go really fast.
The scariest car Ive been in was a clapped Ford Fusion being driven by a 16 year old with a deathwish. Normally not a scary car, but a beater Ford Fusion going 115 on a bumpy 2 lane road will always be scarier than any high horsepower import to me. The feeling of getting air over bumps and constantly being unable to hold a lane with trees on both sides is not a good one
My dad’s 91 Ford Escort LX suffered from SEVERE understeer! A little rain or snow and you’d have to pray the car would turn and not slide off the road or into oncoming traffic!
The scariest car I've ever ridden and driven is my brother's 1979 Pontiac Grand Prix SJ. He swapped the stock 301 with a crate supercharged 383 stroker, and that thing was scary fast. I currently have a 2022 Hellcat, and it is not even close to the feeling of that Grand Prix.
My buddy had a 77 Grand Prix. With a built 400 Did low 13’s in the 1/4 and low 11’s on Nitrous back in like 2002 That boat would feel like it is floating
My top 2 "stupid scary" cars so far. 1)1970 VW bug, 182hp at the wheels, 230 on the bottle. It wasn't that it was distance fast. It was scarry as crap coming out of the hole where she wanted to put the front in the air and just GO. Miss that one, ended up rolling it on the track at around 110mph when a front wheel let go right at the eighth. 2)Honestly my current toy. 2004 Subaru Forester XT, currently 425whp, 420 torque, 6mt swap, street car that digs way, way too hard. Just waiting for the new motor to go in, then we can turn it up and go for 600.
1990 Fox Body Mustang .... if you know the speedometer goes to 140 mph at 3 o'clock the needle was at 6 o'clock on 4th gear. with 5th gear still open you can guesstimate how fast it was going and then 5th gear . The air dam of spoiler between GT Foglamps broke off nose started to rise. Too long a story to tell 👨🏻👍🏻🏁🚩🏎️
I guess the scariest meaning very unsafe when i bought it during covid so i was on my own driving it nearly 300 miles home was a 1969 pontiac catalina it was a 4 door but the thing was so bad and needed new tires and everything that it may have been just... it was super unsafe but getting it fixed its like 1/2 done imagine driving a car old stock car that has dry rotted tires and swerving into traffic with the amount of gas the tires were good for holing air but hell if that car could not hook i had a police officer ask if i was drunk i said no and yeah crazy trip but im gonna miss being that scared love the feeling tho
Scariest car for me was my dad's old ASTRO-van. Not because it was fast, but because he would absolutely whip that thing. I remember thinking about how top heavy this van was, closing my eyes and waiting for us to roll it. His response was always: "Ah, it's fine. It's got Michelin's on it." Omni-vores were the ultimate sleepers back in the day. Went to high school with a guy who had a turbo omni. Also, I miss the days of hot Evo 8's. I hated them at the time, but I miss them now that they're all but gone.
Scariest I've experienced, easily my school's (UCF) formula student car from this year. Absolute riot. 450lbs, 80whp, crazy short gearing (topped out at about 80), and capable of 2.5g lateral, set up with real snappy steering as it is set up for a very tight course. And the thought in your mind that its all designed and built by a bunch of college students. You should look up some footage of these things at competitions if you haven't already, they are animals on tight courses.
I worked as an assistant mechanic at a local Porsche dealership. Mostly working on the classic stuff. The scariest was maybe a yellow 1979 911 SC with a 3.2 liter stroker with a RUF style bodykit. You had to be ginger on the throttle because it easily broke traction.
For me the scariest was a 2002 Monte Carlo SS. It had a supercharged LS3, still fwd, and an automatic trans with paddle shifters, and made close to 550-600whp on 93. It was aslo on a 235 all season tire up front. This thing spun from a 60 roll all the way up to the top of 4th at around 125mph. The guy just wanted to burn the tires cause he had 255 semi slicks ready to put on so we figured doing burnouts and doing 2nd gear 20 rolls would be fun. It was but it was also absolutely butthole clenching. I've been in a 900hp r35, 700hp b58 Supra, and a 700hp big turbo Eclipse gsx but that Monte Carlo made me shit bricks.
Nice video! Some savage cars there! Just one thing when you said you learned the difference between a quick car and a fast car, i think it's more likely you meant a quick car and a really quick or a fast car and a really fast car. A car can be quick and not very fast or vice versa or even both (quick and fast) etc. As quick is usually to do with the acceleration and fadt is the top speed. So for example a Rally car is often insanely quick but not fast as the roads usually wont have long straights to get a good top speed so they're geared to maybe only have a top speed of 120 but can get there in seconds
Scariest car for me was my Dads 1965 Sunbeam Tiger with 500hp and revved to 7.5k rpm. Basically a Miata sized car with 500hp on 14" wheels. Not the highest Hp car I've ever driven but when you jumped on it you were sawing that wheel like crazy to keep it straight. Still in the family and driven regularly after 45 years. 🤘🏻
Big Turbo DSMs. Was just plain violent from a dig. Both my Shep trans 2G and a friend's Auto 1G that was more or less into the 9s. Mentally was not ready to accelerate that fast from a standstill.
Hell, when I was running around 275 HP in my 92 Sentra SE-R it would do the same thing. I don't know how many times in a street race it would drift to the left when you got on it.
Scariest car I drove is my 120 HP Golf. Doesn't compare to those cars on this video. But even my normal commuter car can get up to 200 Kmh. And reaching that for the first time felt unnerving. It's crazy that some people build like 1000 HP Evos and Supras.
The sketchiest car I've ever driven is the one on my RUclips channel. HX35 89 Ford Probe GT on 33psi. Sometimes it goes straight, sometimes it needs four lanes. And I've done everything I can to make it go straight lol
Mini Moke... you looked up at truck tyres, had no safety or rollover protection, (except seatbelts). Fun when driving on country roads, but when mixing with other traffic... I always felt one step away from death.
To date the scariest car I have driven is the Alfa Romeo Gulia Quadrofolio at the Yas Marina race track. Imagine me coming out my car a VW Polo GTI to a car with almost 3 times the horsepower. It redefined what fast really means for me.
Gotta say it was my friends 1100hp twin turbo g8 especially when it starts spinning the 10.5 drag slick at 140 and keeps pulling like a train it’s nutty
Scariest car for me was my (now ex) girlfriend's dad's 1970 Roadrunner with the 440. I was eighteen at the time. He told me, "I bought my cars to be driven, so when you get on it - you may as well hammer it." I did. At about 120, that car may has well have been a boat, because it floated like nothing I'd ever driven before, or since. Fun car, but terrifying at speed.
I had a cobbled together 72 torino with a built 429 in it. There were rust holes in the floor big enough to drop your cell phone through. 4 speed manual. Posi rear. Made just shy of 500rwhp. But it was no power steering. No power brakes. Everything rattled and vibrated. But when you mashed the skinny pedal, it was absolutely terrifying.
Scariest car I ever driven. 1999 pontiac grand prix GTP (1470hp V6) L67 3800 series II V6 So the story behind this car was that me and my father have spent 5 years of building this car for a 800hp street cruiser for speed events mostly. But I don't know where the power that it was eventually coming from but majority of the parts where from junkyard for the vehicle that where retrofitted to the motor.. but we ended up going to a single turbo setup with bullseye turbos from the early 00's model. The motor was stroked, resleeved, notched and ported. We ended up getting massive custom cams, custom valves as well rocker arms for a drag built LS motor.. but something went weird. When we eventually got finished with it... we got a Blitz tuner (yes its old and rare in today's standard) but we quickly found out that on 1 dyno day and 3 tunes later. A full weight 3500lb fwd car cracked 1400+ HP eithout notorious at the time on 35lb of boost (the spring broke so it boost creeped pretty severly) We drove it home that way and it was scary to look at the speedometer. Cruising at 110mph then stomping it to see it spin the tires to 150mph (it had a heads up display on the window) on 245/40/18 street tires
A heavily modded (swapped but I can’t remember with what) 1992 Toyota Starlet GT Turbo that was sub-2000 pounds and was pushing 380hp. If you went past half throttle too quickly, you were pretty much destined to lose it all.
My dad had a 66 Chevy Nova with about 400 hp 350. I really hadn't driven a lot of sketchy cars at that time, and this is the only one I've ever driven with variable steering alignment. The first time I launched it, I turned the steering wheel 90 degrees to the left. Got off the gas and it went back to center. The rear end didn't step out; just the front end would twist that much under load. He eventually took it to a race shop to get the front end braced properly and switched to an LT1 from a catfish Camaro. It was much more civilized then, but honestly lacked that initial exhilaration from the first drive.
Straight-road terror moments? My friend had a V8 Vega, 400 small-block Chevy with a nitrous switch hooked into the throttle linkage. If you put your foot in it about 97%, you had 450hp. At 98%, 650hp. His brother had a Toyota Land Crusher with a 454 using the original Toyota transmission. Again, nitrous, at least 500hp, at the time nobody around had a 4WD chassis dyno so we weren't sure. (I don't know how, but that transmission survived.) Both of those vehicles were terrifying.
I drove a Challenger Hellcat. 717hp. Well, was the first very time I sat behind a car with that much hp. But yeah, what a car. I mean, newbies can floor that pedal to the metal and it is still comfy. But it was a bit scary at the beginning before I was getting used to it. First time tho I drove my self at 258km/h. Living in Sweden, so dunno what mph that is tho. But that was crazy.
Seen the omni in the thumbnail and remembered that video with all that torque steer. Knew someone with a omni glh back in the day and it was a blast. (Also was the scariest car I've driven) not sure on his hp numbers but it was similar to your experience.
The scariest car I’ve ever driven was my full bolt on (with Tune) Veloster N. Just because of the awful wheel hop and torque steer. I would have to warn my friends with RWD cars before they floor it to hold on to the steering wheel for dear life lol. Super fun car though I miss it.
There’s at least 3 that come to mind, 1 being the First Supra I drove not too long ago cause how the power came on in that thing was unlike anything I’ve ever felt. 2 was an RSQ8, they crab walk I got on that thing scared me pretty good, and the third being a Gt500 With a bunch of bolt ons
Most of my vehicles have been in the 2-300+ range. I had an ‘04 Mustang Cobra that a previous owner had tuned and ported the supercharger. 475hp at the wheels. That car did give me some caution. For a guy that never had much, that car was scary fast.
@@TheReaper42069 I don’t have a garage and money got a little tight so I had to get rid of mine. Good luck to you, I hope you get to experience that intoxicating supercharger whine someday.
Scariest car was my beater 96 jetta, rotted floor, removed exhaust, pump the brakes before they worked, no defrost, bald ass tires, 5 colors. Loved it but didn't know how to take care of it. Thankfully my mechanic friend did so I sold it to him for next to nothing and 7 years later everything is fixed, redone interior, it's awesome
Gotta love that diesel grunt. Really feels great with all that torque pushing you back in the seat at launch! Did he 4wd launch it after loading up the TC if it was an automatic?
S12, RB20DET swapped, Gutted, Unknown boost level, cut and heated springs, blown shocks, and seats barely bolted in that would move on throttle.......kinda fun....mostly sketchy
The scariest car I ever drove was a 1969 SS Nova built for the strip. Tubbed, big block with roll cage. As soon as I nailed it and slammed second, all I saw was sky, front end went straight up!
Scariest car I've ever driven was a 383 stroker swapped 1988 S10 Blazer that made 500 hp, that thing was the definition of all motor, no cage, factory seats, shittiest possible brakes and suspension, etc. The front end would dance so bad when you got on it that it literally felt like the car was going to fall apart, if you managed to not crash it, I only drove it about 4-5 miles up the road then pulled off so my uncle, who owned it could take us back to his shop, I've driven fast cars but nothing so far has compared to that thing
500hp dsm I bought as a project. Had bad plug wires and would misfire under boost and break up real bad. Got bored one day and decided to try to swap them not expecting a difference. As soon as it spooled it crabwalked. Not a scary fast car but when you’re expecting it to just break up and it actually pulls it was a lot
I didn’t drive this thing for more than 400ft but at my college there’s this kid with a eco boost mustang, I didn’t know the full specs but he said he was running 21 lbs of boost, all I knew besides that was that it was a auto with bolt on fender flares and decent sized wheels and tires, he said “hop in put it in manual mode and toss it in second gear”, I started driving down the lot, gave it 3/4 throttle, nothing happened for a second then it was instant tire spin, I turned around, and pulled it back in, my friend had a MS3 with FBO and a bigger turbo so I understood turbo lag but never experienced it as a driver, personally I have a 89 dodge Dakota with a mild cam 360 swapped into it, I’ve had people call that scary and I daily-ed it for a year
I'm 17 and I haven't had tons of experience driving cars but I've drove a bunch of different platforms from a 89 Chevy 4 door long bed to a 08 BMW z4. My dad has a 92 NX2000 with a imported sr20de. It has 1600cc injectors the biggest cams you can fit in that motor with out going to titanium internals. When you hit the power band at 4500rpm it's just a crazy feeling. he has a 5 speed short shifter and its about 2in between shifts. Most fun car I've ever experience and what got me into cars in the first place. Now I'm building a 79 corvette with a 400hp Chevy 350 and all because of that little car.
I think you should have added the engine swapped Smart car that was CRAZY 🤪 The scariest car I ever drove was my 1997 3.8 NA Grand Prix, not because of horse power but because it was so unsafe. The car salesman tried to talk me out of buying it.
The only scary fast car I have driven was a supercharged AC Cobra. It belongs to someone I used to work for. I traded him a weeks pay to drive it one Saturday afternoon, totally worth it. I don't think I'll ever look or feel that cool again.
Scariest car I’ve ever experienced… My friends built motor big turbo SRT-4 Neon. 700hp+ manual car doing highway pulls on 215 street tires, while sitting in the back on a bench seat that wasn’t even bolted down, and not even from that car lol he only put it in there so he could haul myself and a friend to a car meet with him and his wife. Scariest/most fun car experience ever doing pulls in that thing.
i’m only 16 but the scariest car i’ve been in was a srt-10 ram 1500 single cab with big shot of nitrous , spinning at like 100 is the scariest shit to me
Besides the good luck Gen 1 Viper, Ford GT. 1st gear alone, you’re breaking every speed limit, then add on top of the supercharger behind your head, a gated throw. In the Viper you knew if you messed up it be the end, the GT would tease you.
Yup, an EVO. I think the only car the guy from Smoking Tire ever lifted in was a white EVO. He always go full throttle in certain straight sections in the canyons. So if an EVO made TDIB nervous, I believe it.
The scariest car i've ever driven was probably my friend's 302 swapped 63 falcon 2dr. The thing had probably the loosest steering, brakes, body panels, and everything else i've ever felt along with being light as hell and incredibly rusty. Oh yeah, and it was straightpiped with a stage 2 cam 💀
The scariest car I have ever driven was my brothers Ford Tempo. It had something really b wrong with the steering, idk if the bolt holding the steering wheel on was stripped or if it was a steering rack issue, but when you turned the steering wheel you never knew how much the car was going to turn. Sometimes it turned exactly as much as it should but sometimes you had to turn the wheel a lot mire than you should have had to. I took a left turn st a busy intersection and I legitimately feared for my life. I borrowed his car not knowing about this issue and when I mentioned it he didn't think it was a big deal. My brother is a moron.
Scariest car you've experienced? Slow or fast doesn't matter!
probs my cousin's 07 cls 500- it's quite the sleeper
Mustang Lifestyle’s 07 GT500 Coyote Swapped with the 76mm Turbo is the scariest car I think I’ve ever rode in. Extremely violent and easily the fastest car I’ve ever been in. And with it being my first real race car ride along, I wasn’t used to all the sounds and feelings that come with it.
My buddies EVO made my asshole tighten more than anything else.
Lexus LC500
C6 ZR1 Corvette and 2013 Shelby GT500 both in the wet for the first time ever
Scariest car I ever drove was a first gen Viper. I had to rethink my driving abilities after that experience LOL.
duuuude
no tc, no abs
Need to have a prodriver mod to be able to handle the 1st gen viper
@@joogullae3456fake news.
I used to have a gen 1 Viper. It was such a fun experience. I now have a Gen 2 GTS and it feels odd to say that it feels extremely refined, because it’s still a Viper, but it is compared to the gen 1.
My dads friend had a 911 gt3RS. At my full potential I probably drove that car on the track at 35% on the high end. That was while I thought the car was gonna crash on the ragged edge. I then did 5 laps with a professional driver from Porsche. He drove that car on the actual ragged edge and it was the most terrifying experience I’ve ever had on 4 wheels. Second was my dads 15 GT mustang with a blower and built suspension and drivetrain. That car would break SC2 tires loose in 4th gear on the interstate. Had to pull over when it rained. That car was a trip in a straight line.
Na until you drive a twin version you aren't living. Any gen II prior to 2001 didn't have any nannies.
I’ve been around quick cars my entire life, but just recently met a fast car. My daughter’s boyfriend has a 2018 mustang with 1300whp. When he hit boost, I think I yelped like a kicked dog. What a beast
The scariest car I've driven was a Hyundai Accent rental car that needed an alignment and had no working defrost vents.
Hyundai ah America's rental car
😂
Even at an age of 23 you really did have an understanding and respect for power that most people do not.. thanks to hellcats we’re able to sort that crowd out
Only 4 minutes In obviously lol
The Evos are still some of my favorites on the channel. Its crazy how much power people can make from a 4-cylinder
EA888 is probably the greatest 4 cylinders ever made can make 500whp with bolt ons reliably
@@chadkennedy8675 I don’t know about the greatest but it’s definitely up there. A very honorable mention would be the MK4 1.8T’s. I’m all for VW
@@DasAutoz yeah 1.8t is ahyt everyone does that engine swap here in South Africa very popular if you want to go turbo but if you go NA people here tend to go MK2 Golf GTI 16V motor the ABF , also the ABF is probably twice the price of a 1.8T motor also nope EA888 is the greatest 2 liter period it's actually absurd how much power they make how well it can handle it and how well it can put down the power with the DSG and the most superior awd system in the world the Haldex
@@chadkennedy8675 The 1.8T is definitely more than “Alright”. It is one of the most tunable, modifiable, durable, engines VW has ever produced. Those engines were ahead of their time, outfitted with a very smart Motronic series ECM, Engines were mostly Forged, Borg Warner turbo systems, many engine variations, the list goes on and on. The 1.8 is incredible. I will say though, the EA888 is definitely legendary.
Hondas are into the 2000hp out of 2L 4 cylinders at this point.
The scariest car I've ever experienced is my self built LS swapped 95 Impreza Ute. The first 2 iterations of the car was so unwieldy I was terrified to drive it. I've still not once used full throttle. Its getting better as I add bigger and beefier parts to it. ATM its getting frame stiffening and a new solid rear end on a 4 link. I've learned so much from this car I consider it my post grad degree.
That just sounds awesome and terrifying
Yeah that has got to have some weird weight distro lol. Let alone double the displacement through the drive train like you mentioned. Is that FWD or AWD?
Sounds sick!
as a gf4 owner, ive subbed. i HAVE to see you and this build progress, ive joked about a build like that with mine to my buddies for a year now lol
The Omni is why I clicked on this video. My dad had an 87 Shelby Charger. Out of all the cars I've driven over the years I think that's the one I would most like to have. It may not be considered fast today but, my god, when the boost kicked in that car screamed and the fight was on to keep the wheel straight. So much freaking fun.
Scariest was my friends C5Z racing our other friend. We got up to around 160mph because neither wanted to let out, little did I know that the ABS module for his brakes was broken so we had no ABS. We ended up coming up on traffic and needed to stop, as soon as he pumped the brakes we spun out and went across 5 lanes and into the side of the road. NO DAMGE or anyone was hurt and you just hear me say "woooo" after we come to a stop hah.
I really hope Adam gets that GT350 lined out this year maybe you can get a re-do
My scariest car experience was in a 500hp slant nose 930. Imagine riding in a 500hp rear engine canoe and thats about the experience.
The turbo Chrysler K-Cars were notorious for torque steer. Especially when they had the hollow axle on the passenger side.
1967 corvette stingray with the side pipes was mine. Little car with a massive motor- never took it over half throttle and I was still scared shi*less.
And yes I burned my leg getting out on the side pipes….
Adam's gt350 was hilarious I've watched that review like 30 times and your reaction is priceless and that's how I know it's scary as hell because it scared you lol
8:10 dude, this is some of the most badass footage of all time. You grappling to control this thing was so pure & raw, and I can only image spectating this from 3rd person. Legendary. Loved that video. 🔥
Glad the "GLH Goes like Hell" is in your list!
I absolutely love the Omni GLH! I thought the interior and exterior looked so dope! 🤘🔥 so jealous of the 918, now you need to drive the “widow maker” 993 gt2!
Scariest was a full bolt on and pulley terminator. Raced a s550 roush stage 3 on a terrible asphalt road cover in loose sand and gravel and it snaked every gear, power shifted 4th and it stepped out nearly a full 90 degrees at 120mph. Had to micro blip the gas and correct while still feeding power to keep it from snapping back and forth. Made over 600 whp on street tires😅 thing was a maniacal handful
My $60 civic. It was an 89 ef hatch that had been totalled twice. The steering wheel was a 6 inch drag wheel, no power steering. You touched a wire to the steering column to honk the horn. The headlights were not attached just shut under the hood. The key was a random Honda key I found in the junk yard. It was painted using handicap parking spot paint and one of the engine mounts had broken so the engine smacked the firewall with every gearshift. The tires were all old and bald. One night I got 5 tickets in one sitting for various illegal things about the car. I then drove home in pouring rain for 45 miles. The windshield wipers proceeded to fall off so I stuck my head out of the window. Then I hit a rabbit. I pulled over to reevaluate my life and then drove home. I never got in that car again and I gave it away. If I had kept driving that car at 17, I probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to buy my typhoon a couple years later. Moral of the story: just because you can drive a P.O.S doesn't mean you should.
Scariest car i drove was a v8 vantage (it was stick too!) It was my friends grandmothers car and she was so sweet and let me drive it when i was 17! I was scared of leafs falling on that car lmao. Wish i could go back in time and really put my foot down.
The Dodge Conquest TSI. It was quick but the handling was so tight and quirky that I almost drove it off the road into the trees. It wasn't that it was fast, but it was quick with weird handling. It was the only time I lost control of a car on dry pavement.
Mine was definitely a first Gen Viper. Even though it was only modified to a little over 500 horsepower, it was still scary fast. I'm also 6'3" so I really had to squeeze in there
I had a friend with a viper and was glad to be here after that ride..
Car? 1971 Chevelle when I was working at Sears auto center in college. Had to do an alignment on it, and, of course, that meant a road test afterwards. I found it strange that it had Z speed rated tires on it (and they were "huge" for that time, 17's lol). I aligned it and took it out, and realized immediately that I was in WAY over my head. Just breathing on the throttle made it want to swap ends, the power came on like being hit in the face with a baseball bat- sudden, violent, and in such a way that you ended up feeling victimized. The scariest part about it was 4 wheel drum brakes, and no power assist.
I realized pretty quickly that the factory alignment specs (which I had it st to) weren't going to cut it, and brought it back and completely re-did the setup (as much caster as I could get, I think I set it at a degree or so negative camber, and pretty close to zero toe). I also had the customer drive it on the second go-round. Dude was in his late 40's, and able to drive it so smoothly that I was left questioning my own ability behind the wheel. He built stock cars, and built the Chevelle out of stuff he had lying around his shop. The guy was cool and all, but I was glad when we got back to the shop in one piece, and that evil beast of a car was out of the parking lot.
So glad we've moved past 4 wheel drum brakes on cars 👍. Just running the rear drums in an 04 TJ for a couple thousand miles were enough for me to invest in a disc brake conversion!
Current ride. '86 G body with mostly stock suspension and 900WHP. Boost by gear is a must, but it is TERRIFYING when it hits high gear, plants the power and does 85mph to 140mph in about 3 sec.
MUCH scarier than my '89 R32 GTR with 650AWDHP that does the same pull in the same amount of time.
i haven’t experienced many cars just yet, but my scariest experience was going full throttle 3rd gear in my buddies e85 tuned fbo s550 5.0 mustang
Scariest for me was experiencing a FI 350Z after having driven a stock one. With the traction control off it would just spin the tires in first gear if you floored it and second gear could break loose if you weren't careful, heck even third could be scary if you didn't know what you were doing. Really teaches respect for power, what added power can do to the way a car drives. I say that because stock you can just put your foot down with little to worry about.
I love the Omni and the owner is a great guy. The car is awesome, but I hope you get to drive another one that is better set-up because they don't ALL do that with high power.
Around 40 years ago I had a 41 Willys coupe with an injected Buick nailhead set back about 8 or 9 inches, muncie 4 speed and a narrowed 57 Ford rear end, it would change lanes when you changed gears, and bumper dragging wheelies, pipes, street legal too!
The GLHT is a saddle on an engine woth boost that hits like a freight train stock. We have 3 and they are awesome
Hoarder. Trying to find one. There's one but 1k away
Tbh scariest car I've ever been in was probably a replica of a 1918 Mercer Raceabout. It probably doesn't compare to any of the cars in this video, but that thing has no doors or roof or really any bodywork around you and barely anything to hold onto. The windshield is a little round piece of glass mounted to the steering column, and the passenger gets goggles. You sit in a little bucket seat with basically no back, and a non-original seatbelt the owner/builder added, and that's it. Add in the relatively primitive suspension and eager torquey 4-cylinder and that car felt like it was going highway speeds at 30 mph. And these things could go over 100 mph back in the day... 100 mph in that thing must've felt like 300 mph in a modern car. I don't think very many people today realize how crazy insane antique sports cars are to drive or ride in, they don't have to be "fast" to make you fear for your life lol. I want one, they're awesome :) I gotta build a Model T speedster at some point, it's probably the cheapest and easiest way to replicate the experience, and they're kind of the precursor to hot rods, or the original tuner car depending on how you look at it.
my buddies old 1000hp ZR1 , going 150 km/h around a traffic circle was absolutely insane haha
Craziest experience was in my boy's N54 335i. The thing made 600+ whp and managed to beat a redeye by a fender. He blew the engine and got a new one with a top mount big single turbo instead of the original twin setup. The thing is an absolute fucking riot.
I roll an E88 135i with an N54 making 500hp (Shoutout to the Horsepower Factory in Dandenong, Australia)
It isn't even a little bit scary.... those cars are overengineered and designed to go really fast.
That ratrod is by far the coolest car I’ve ever seen.
I love ratrods soo much.
The scariest car Ive been in was a clapped Ford Fusion being driven by a 16 year old with a deathwish. Normally not a scary car, but a beater Ford Fusion going 115 on a bumpy 2 lane road will always be scarier than any high horsepower import to me. The feeling of getting air over bumps and constantly being unable to hold a lane with trees on both sides is not a good one
Those black Evos from the beginning are really monstrous 😈😈😈😈
Also the 918, 240SX and Supra look 😍😍😍❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
My dad’s 91 Ford Escort LX suffered from SEVERE understeer! A little rain or snow and you’d have to pray the car would turn and not slide off the road or into oncoming traffic!
The scariest car I've ever ridden and driven is my brother's 1979 Pontiac Grand Prix SJ. He swapped the stock 301 with a crate supercharged 383 stroker, and that thing was scary fast. I currently have a 2022 Hellcat, and it is not even close to the feeling of that Grand Prix.
My buddy had a 77 Grand Prix. With a built 400
Did low 13’s in the 1/4 and low 11’s on Nitrous back in like 2002
That boat would feel like it is floating
Lowkey surprised the LS S2K didnt make it in this. Thought that one might have made an impression. Great video though!
My top 2 "stupid scary" cars so far.
1)1970 VW bug, 182hp at the wheels, 230 on the bottle. It wasn't that it was distance fast. It was scarry as crap coming out of the hole where she wanted to put the front in the air and just GO. Miss that one, ended up rolling it on the track at around 110mph when a front wheel let go right at the eighth.
2)Honestly my current toy. 2004 Subaru Forester XT, currently 425whp, 420 torque, 6mt swap, street car that digs way, way too hard. Just waiting for the new motor to go in, then we can turn it up and go for 600.
1990 Fox Body Mustang .... if you know the speedometer goes to 140 mph at 3 o'clock the needle was at 6 o'clock on 4th gear. with 5th gear still open you can guesstimate how fast it was going and then 5th gear . The air dam of spoiler between GT Foglamps broke off nose started to rise. Too long a story to tell 👨🏻👍🏻🏁🚩🏎️
I guess the scariest meaning very unsafe when i bought it during covid so i was on my own driving it nearly 300 miles home was a 1969 pontiac catalina it was a 4 door but the thing was so bad and needed new tires and everything that it may have been just... it was super unsafe but getting it fixed its like 1/2 done imagine driving a car old stock car that has dry rotted tires and swerving into traffic with the amount of gas the tires were good for holing air but hell if that car could not hook i had a police officer ask if i was drunk i said no and yeah crazy trip but im gonna miss being that scared love the feeling tho
Scariest car for me was my dad's old ASTRO-van. Not because it was fast, but because he would absolutely whip that thing. I remember thinking about how top heavy this van was, closing my eyes and waiting for us to roll it. His response was always: "Ah, it's fine. It's got Michelin's on it."
Omni-vores were the ultimate sleepers back in the day. Went to high school with a guy who had a turbo omni.
Also, I miss the days of hot Evo 8's. I hated them at the time, but I miss them now that they're all but gone.
Scariest I've experienced, easily my school's (UCF) formula student car from this year. Absolute riot. 450lbs, 80whp, crazy short gearing (topped out at about 80), and capable of 2.5g lateral, set up with real snappy steering as it is set up for a very tight course. And the thought in your mind that its all designed and built by a bunch of college students.
You should look up some footage of these things at competitions if you haven't already, they are animals on tight courses.
I worked as an assistant mechanic at a local Porsche dealership. Mostly working on the classic stuff. The scariest was maybe a yellow 1979 911 SC with a 3.2 liter stroker with a RUF style bodykit. You had to be ginger on the throttle because it easily broke traction.
that evo in the thumbnail looks hella clean.
Possibly my favorite of all time.
For me the scariest was a 2002 Monte Carlo SS. It had a supercharged LS3, still fwd, and an automatic trans with paddle shifters, and made close to 550-600whp on 93. It was aslo on a 235 all season tire up front. This thing spun from a 60 roll all the way up to the top of 4th at around 125mph. The guy just wanted to burn the tires cause he had 255 semi slicks ready to put on so we figured doing burnouts and doing 2nd gear 20 rolls would be fun. It was but it was also absolutely butthole clenching. I've been in a 900hp r35, 700hp b58 Supra, and a 700hp big turbo Eclipse gsx but that Monte Carlo made me shit bricks.
Nice video! Some savage cars there!
Just one thing when you said you learned the difference between a quick car and a fast car, i think it's more likely you meant a quick car and a really quick or a fast car and a really fast car.
A car can be quick and not very fast or vice versa or even both (quick and fast) etc.
As quick is usually to do with the acceleration and fadt is the top speed. So for example a Rally car is often insanely quick but not fast as the roads usually wont have long straights to get a good top speed so they're geared to maybe only have a top speed of 120 but can get there in seconds
Scariest car for me was my Dads 1965 Sunbeam Tiger with 500hp and revved to 7.5k rpm. Basically a Miata sized car with 500hp on 14" wheels. Not the highest Hp car I've ever driven but when you jumped on it you were sawing that wheel like crazy to keep it straight. Still in the family and driven regularly after 45 years. 🤘🏻
Big Turbo DSMs. Was just plain violent from a dig. Both my Shep trans 2G and a friend's Auto 1G that was more or less into the 9s. Mentally was not ready to accelerate that fast from a standstill.
Hell, when I was running around 275 HP in my 92 Sentra SE-R it would do the same thing. I don't know how many times in a street race it would drift to the left when you got on it.
Scariest car I drove is my 120 HP Golf. Doesn't compare to those cars on this video. But even my normal commuter car can get up to 200 Kmh. And reaching that for the first time felt unnerving. It's crazy that some people build like 1000 HP Evos and Supras.
The sketchiest car I've ever driven is the one on my RUclips channel. HX35 89 Ford Probe GT on 33psi. Sometimes it goes straight, sometimes it needs four lanes. And I've done everything I can to make it go straight lol
What about your Buick Regal GS? That thing looks like it could break away too!
@@danielanderson8502 It definitely has its moments lol
Mini Moke... you looked up at truck tyres, had no safety or rollover protection, (except seatbelts).
Fun when driving on country roads, but when mixing with other traffic... I always felt one step away from death.
I knew the Barra Mustang would make the Cut. For Adam LZ to be Scared of his own car and still drive it that takes some guts lol
To date the scariest car I have driven is the Alfa Romeo Gulia Quadrofolio at the Yas Marina race track. Imagine me coming out my car a VW Polo GTI to a car with almost 3 times the horsepower. It redefined what fast really means for me.
Gotta say it was my friends 1100hp twin turbo g8 especially when it starts spinning the 10.5 drag slick at 140 and keeps pulling like a train it’s nutty
Scariest car for me was my (now ex) girlfriend's dad's 1970 Roadrunner with the 440. I was eighteen at the time. He told me, "I bought my cars to be driven, so when you get on it - you may as well hammer it."
I did. At about 120, that car may has well have been a boat, because it floated like nothing I'd ever driven before, or since. Fun car, but terrifying at speed.
I had a cobbled together 72 torino with a built 429 in it. There were rust holes in the floor big enough to drop your cell phone through. 4 speed manual. Posi rear. Made just shy of 500rwhp. But it was no power steering. No power brakes. Everything rattled and vibrated. But when you mashed the skinny pedal, it was absolutely terrifying.
Scariest car I ever driven.
1999 pontiac grand prix GTP (1470hp V6)
L67 3800 series II V6
So the story behind this car was that me and my father have spent 5 years of building this car for a 800hp street cruiser for speed events mostly. But I don't know where the power that it was eventually coming from but majority of the parts where from junkyard for the vehicle that where retrofitted to the motor.. but we ended up going to a single turbo setup with bullseye turbos from the early 00's model.
The motor was stroked, resleeved, notched and ported. We ended up getting massive custom cams, custom valves as well rocker arms for a drag built LS motor.. but something went weird. When we eventually got finished with it... we got a Blitz tuner (yes its old and rare in today's standard) but we quickly found out that on 1 dyno day and 3 tunes later. A full weight 3500lb fwd car cracked 1400+ HP eithout notorious at the time on 35lb of boost (the spring broke so it boost creeped pretty severly)
We drove it home that way and it was scary to look at the speedometer. Cruising at 110mph then stomping it to see it spin the tires to 150mph (it had a heads up display on the window) on 245/40/18 street tires
The Camry with my mom in the car was terrifying 😅
“He was born in the desert somewhere, or the mountains somewhere… If you catch my drift.” Nice wordplay. 😁
18 years old driving a 95 Viper. But being 17 in a 97 Mustang Cobra was a close second. Neither had any traction on those prom nights lmao 😂
"bored in the mountains, if you catch my drift." Holy shit the bars.
The scariest car I ever got a ride in was a taxi in Rome. Every driver there is insane. There are no rules.
The fastest car/truck I’ve ever been in was a
1990 SS454 TT with 200 shot of NOS..
1000 motor 1200 with NOS.
A heavily modded (swapped but I can’t remember with what) 1992 Toyota Starlet GT Turbo that was sub-2000 pounds and was pushing 380hp. If you went past half throttle too quickly, you were pretty much destined to lose it all.
My dad had a 66 Chevy Nova with about 400 hp 350. I really hadn't driven a lot of sketchy cars at that time, and this is the only one I've ever driven with variable steering alignment. The first time I launched it, I turned the steering wheel 90 degrees to the left. Got off the gas and it went back to center. The rear end didn't step out; just the front end would twist that much under load. He eventually took it to a race shop to get the front end braced properly and switched to an LT1 from a catfish Camaro. It was much more civilized then, but honestly lacked that initial exhilaration from the first drive.
Straight-road terror moments? My friend had a V8 Vega, 400 small-block Chevy with a nitrous switch hooked into the throttle linkage. If you put your foot in it about 97%, you had 450hp. At 98%, 650hp.
His brother had a Toyota Land Crusher with a 454 using the original Toyota transmission. Again, nitrous, at least 500hp, at the time nobody around had a 4WD chassis dyno so we weren't sure. (I don't know how, but that transmission survived.)
Both of those vehicles were terrifying.
Additional thought I have enjoyed your videos. I have learned about many cars from your channel, especially Subaru, which is my favorite car.
Not me recognizing the Smithfield road you drove that 918 on as the road I rip down in my s2k
I drove a Challenger Hellcat. 717hp. Well, was the first very time I sat behind a car with that much hp. But yeah, what a car. I mean, newbies can floor that pedal to the metal and it is still comfy.
But it was a bit scary at the beginning before I was getting used to it. First time tho I drove my self at 258km/h. Living in Sweden, so dunno what mph that is tho. But that was crazy.
Seen the omni in the thumbnail and remembered that video with all that torque steer. Knew someone with a omni glh back in the day and it was a blast. (Also was the scariest car I've driven) not sure on his hp numbers but it was similar to your experience.
The scariest car I’ve ever driven was my full bolt on (with Tune) Veloster N. Just because of the awful wheel hop and torque steer. I would have to warn my friends with RWD cars before they floor it to hold on to the steering wheel for dear life lol. Super fun car though I miss it.
Mean while I'm just having fun in my NAV struggling to do 100mph😂😂😂
The scariest car I have ever driven was a 1996 dodge pick up that has a little bit over 1500 wheel horse power but it was raining when I drove it
There’s at least 3 that come to mind, 1 being the First Supra I drove not too long ago cause how the power came on in that thing was unlike anything I’ve ever felt. 2 was an RSQ8, they crab walk I got on that thing scared me pretty good, and the third being a Gt500 With a bunch of bolt ons
Scariest car ever drove was CJ five with a three on a tree. That thing was like a sardine can with wheels scary as hell.
An 04 TJ is already sketchy as hell for me in the rain, I can only imagine what the feeling is like in a CJ5 damn 👀
Most of my vehicles have been in the 2-300+ range. I had an ‘04 Mustang Cobra that a previous owner had tuned and ported the supercharger. 475hp at the wheels. That car did give me some caution. For a guy that never had much, that car was scary fast.
Man I love the 03/04 Cobras… definitely a bucket list car.
@@TheReaper42069 I don’t have a garage and money got a little tight so I had to get rid of mine. Good luck to you, I hope you get to experience that intoxicating supercharger whine someday.
Scariest car was my beater 96 jetta, rotted floor, removed exhaust, pump the brakes before they worked, no defrost, bald ass tires, 5 colors. Loved it but didn't know how to take care of it. Thankfully my mechanic friend did so I sold it to him for next to nothing and 7 years later everything is fixed, redone interior, it's awesome
My friend's diesel suv making 500hp on stock suspension. Its a land yacht, its body roll feels like its tipping over. And yea we drove it on track.
Gotta love that diesel grunt. Really feels great with all that torque pushing you back in the seat at launch! Did he 4wd launch it after loading up the TC if it was an automatic?
S12, RB20DET swapped, Gutted, Unknown boost level, cut and heated springs, blown shocks, and seats barely bolted in that would move on throttle.......kinda fun....mostly sketchy
The scariest car I ever drove was a 1969 SS Nova built for the strip. Tubbed, big block with roll cage. As soon as I nailed it and slammed second, all I saw was sky, front end went straight up!
Man I remember barney the evo 9 and king reese the evo 10 :) they got me HOOKED to this channel so long ago… love you bluedude
Scariest car I've ever driven was a 383 stroker swapped 1988 S10 Blazer that made 500 hp, that thing was the definition of all motor, no cage, factory seats, shittiest possible brakes and suspension, etc. The front end would dance so bad when you got on it that it literally felt like the car was going to fall apart, if you managed to not crash it, I only drove it about 4-5 miles up the road then pulled off so my uncle, who owned it could take us back to his shop, I've driven fast cars but nothing so far has compared to that thing
me and some buddies of mine forced a type R motor into a 91 civic hatch SI that ran somewhere around mid 7s
500hp dsm I bought as a project. Had bad plug wires and would misfire under boost and break up real bad. Got bored one day and decided to try to swap them not expecting a difference. As soon as it spooled it crabwalked. Not a scary fast car but when you’re expecting it to just break up and it actually pulls it was a lot
I didn’t drive this thing for more than 400ft but at my college there’s this kid with a eco boost mustang, I didn’t know the full specs but he said he was running 21 lbs of boost, all I knew besides that was that it was a auto with bolt on fender flares and decent sized wheels and tires, he said “hop in put it in manual mode and toss it in second gear”, I started driving down the lot, gave it 3/4 throttle, nothing happened for a second then it was instant tire spin, I turned around, and pulled it back in, my friend had a MS3 with FBO and a bigger turbo so I understood turbo lag but never experienced it as a driver, personally I have a 89 dodge Dakota with a mild cam 360 swapped into it, I’ve had people call that scary and I daily-ed it for a year
I'm 17 and I haven't had tons of experience driving cars but I've drove a bunch of different platforms from a 89 Chevy 4 door long bed to a 08 BMW z4. My dad has a 92 NX2000 with a imported sr20de. It has 1600cc injectors the biggest cams you can fit in that motor with out going to titanium internals. When you hit the power band at 4500rpm it's just a crazy feeling. he has a 5 speed short shifter and its about 2in between shifts. Most fun car I've ever experience and what got me into cars in the first place. Now I'm building a 79 corvette with a 400hp Chevy 350 and all because of that little car.
I think you should have added the engine swapped Smart car that was CRAZY 🤪
The scariest car I ever drove was my 1997 3.8 NA Grand Prix, not because of horse power but because it was so unsafe. The car salesman tried to talk me out of buying it.
I thought about it - but I had SO much fun over fear thankfully
The only scary fast car I have driven was a supercharged AC Cobra. It belongs to someone I used to work for. I traded him a weeks pay to drive it one Saturday afternoon, totally worth it. I don't think I'll ever look or feel that cool again.
Craziest car I’ve ever experienced was a 800hp mk4 Supra. Unfortunately, I haven’t driven anything scary…yet.
Here's hoping you do 👍
That Omni is back under construction 👀🤫
Scariest car I’ve ever experienced…
My friends built motor big turbo SRT-4 Neon. 700hp+ manual car doing highway pulls on 215 street tires, while sitting in the back on a bench seat that wasn’t even bolted down, and not even from that car lol he only put it in there so he could haul myself and a friend to a car meet with him and his wife. Scariest/most fun car experience ever doing pulls in that thing.
rode in a 1100hp big turbo 6.0 LS 1984 chevy station wagon. mostly stock suspension. no roll cage and stock bench seats. absolutely terrifying lmao
Actually racing on a track, having a racing license, and continuing education every year seriously does numb you quite a bit.
i’m only 16 but the scariest car i’ve been in was a srt-10 ram 1500 single cab with big shot of nitrous , spinning at like 100 is the scariest shit to me
Besides the good luck Gen 1 Viper, Ford GT. 1st gear alone, you’re breaking every speed limit, then add on top of the supercharger behind your head, a gated throw. In the Viper you knew if you messed up it be the end, the GT would tease you.
Yup, an EVO. I think the only car the guy from Smoking Tire ever lifted in was a white EVO. He always go full throttle in certain straight sections in the canyons. So if an EVO made TDIB nervous, I believe it.
The scariest car i've ever driven was probably my friend's 302 swapped 63 falcon 2dr. The thing had probably the loosest steering, brakes, body panels, and everything else i've ever felt along with being light as hell and incredibly rusty. Oh yeah, and it was straightpiped with a stage 2 cam 💀
The scariest car I have ever driven was my brothers Ford Tempo. It had something really b wrong with the steering, idk if the bolt holding the steering wheel on was stripped or if it was a steering rack issue, but when you turned the steering wheel you never knew how much the car was going to turn. Sometimes it turned exactly as much as it should but sometimes you had to turn the wheel a lot mire than you should have had to. I took a left turn st a busy intersection and I legitimately feared for my life. I borrowed his car not knowing about this issue and when I mentioned it he didn't think it was a big deal. My brother is a moron.
The review that made me subscribe (and is still a dream car) is the S2k wirh the LS swap and widebody. Such a clean car.
