- The Dodge Viper is an amazing car. It's been a car I've dreamed of owning for many years, and loved as a kid. Here's what made me want to purchase a 2004 Dodge Viper, what some would call the ugly duckling generation of the revered V10 machine.

The Viper is the one sports car I own that when people ask "What is it like driving a Viper? What does the Viper compare to?" the only honest response that I can give is "Driving a Viper is like driving a Viper." Simply because I have not driven anything within my lifetime, so far, that is similar in feel and handling to my Viper to me. I don't find the Viper to be better than or less than other great sports car brands, the Viper is just.... different.
That's a great explanation and I totally agree!
Currently saving up to buy my dad an 04 red viper to match his 04 red ram srt10. The most iconic American vehicles in my eyes🔥
I love it! My dad enjoys every second in my Viper.
Gen 2 owner here. Best car ever
I love it. I hope to get into a Gen 2 in the coming years as well.
@@bsmitley oh man I can talk all day about them. You should join my livestream some time I’d be glad to interview you and we can talk about vipers and other cars we like
@@Maddog494 would totally be down!
Thanks for the review!
Thanks for watching! 🙏
just bought a gen 3 as well love it man, was my favorite car in HS. its the "more affordable" viper for sure. I been lookin for a few years on and off. i had the chance to get a 2004 in 2019 for around 39,500. man have they jumped up after covid. I got a 2003. it was priced right. has 50k miles on it but in good shape.
Love to hear it! Yeah I definitely wish I would have jumped in a year earlier at those prices, but is what it is. Enjoy the ride!
Nice man I watched this before i purchased mine, 2006 blue with silver stripes and black wheels, I def wish i bought it before covid lol but i purchased it this past July it had 18k miles and got it for 69k
Nice! Hope you're enjoying the ride, and glad the video has helped someone!
Nice have fun.
I have a gen 3 also I think they look the most arrow dynamic.
I love the viper life style!!
Right there with you!
Very true
Just purchased my Gen 3, 05 SRT10 Roadster 3/12/22...
Saving for a gen 3 currently
Greetings from Finland. I had Gen 1 for several years. Then went few years without Viper until I bought gen 3 2006 convertible. I've had that for 4 years now and couldn't be happier. Vipers are definitely different beasts compared to corvettes.
That's awesome. I completely agree. I hope to one day enjoy a Gen 1 as well 😁
Did you get the heads and cam? If so, hopefully you went big on the cam!
If you still have it, are you in the market to sell?
I opted to hold out on the heads and cam for the time being. The money I would have invested I could have made an amazing down payment on a gen 5 and figured I'd just let this value hold steady while I enjoy it.
As most car owners, everything is for sale for the right price 😂 but I'm not currently looking to move it.
Corvettes living in your mind rent free lol
Says the guy commenting on a Viper video 🙄
@@bsmitley 🔥
I don’t have a viper yet but I want to buy the gen3 to jump start my RUclips car page
Think it's a good car to do that with. My Viper videos just for fun have all done well. With effort and that being your goal, very doable. Best of luck!
It has that mechanical throttle, there's a cable connecting you directly to the engine, rather than you giving suggestions to a computer.
Yep and it's such an amazing experience.
@@bsmitley Gen 4 and 5 had electronic throttles, and gen 1 and 2 were much more rough around the edges, which makes me feel like this is the Viper to have. Yes it isn't as analog with ABS, but come on, this is one of the scariest cars ever made, I'd rather have ABS than not.
@@SoylentGamer I 100% agree with you there. For the value, this car is really hard to beat.
What wheels arw those

Can’t you take the interior and stuff from gen 5 since gen 3-5 are interchangable
I think you're thinking of gen 4. Gen 5 is a completely new platform. There might be some interchangeable things, but I've personally never seen a gen 5 to 3 swap from interior.
@@bsmitley oh, maybe that is the case but I’ve already seen someone completely swap the exterior from gen 5 to gen3 and it looks exactly like a gen 5. So wouldn’t the interior do the same
@@A_SIMPLE_JOURNEY yeah I saw that as well, crazy. I'm not that versed in swapping in regards to cars, but having been in both gens that doesn't seem like an easy feat. I'd much rather just put that money down as a down payment on a gen 5 😅
@@bsmitley yay but that viper is newer and would be more expensive to insure I believe I haven’t really looked at prices but if not then I may just save a bit more and get a gen 5 🤷🏿
How tall are you? It seems like you struggle to see over the dash.
5'1"
@@bsmitley OK, just checking. I just bought one, arriving Sunday... I haven't even sat in one and was genuinely curious how it will fit me. It kind of amazes me the seats aren't adjustable!
@@born2befly I bought mine without driving it as well. I've had no issues with really anything I don't even have the seat all the way up, which is crazy. Unless you're over 6'4" or weigh more than 275 I think you'll have no issues. Getting in and out, that's a whole different thing 🤣
