Congratulations, she is beautiful
Congrats brotha
Appreciate it!
New sub. I am thinking of a Viper now. I've had my Hellcat Charger since 2017 and she it currently 1200whp. It was great to see your excitement at taking delivery. Not my choice of colour. I will check out your other content now with the Black Viper. Good luck with the channel
Appreciate that!

I'm interested to hear why the switch? Color aside since that can be accomplished with a wrap. Did you feel the TT changed the dynamics of the car completely? The Gen V is such a well balanced car from the factory that I can see foolin with anything. I've had mine nearing 5 years now. I'm a fan of your channel because you aren't out here beating on chest saying look at me.. nice vibe to the channel and look forward to what's to come.
Firstly, I appreciate the love for the channel man that means a lot! I'm glad to know that I'm moving in the right direction whilst still being my authentic self. Got some fun and cool stuff coming soon!
Secondly, the switch is for a multiplicity of reasons:
1. Financial Reasons - I am moving to Virginia soon and wanted to free up cash for that move/ buying a house
2. Car Dynamics - You made some really great points, and yes for me personally I feel as though those are very accurate statements. Don't get me wrong, the raw power and experience of going WOT in a 4 digit power Viper is INSANE but for my overall use desires and goals, it just didn't fit. For example, I thoroughly enjoy mountain driving and the turbo power band just didn't really work for that. I'm looking to get back into that as an activity far more, as well as road tripping and road course stuff occasionally. So this build will definitely be staying NA. BUT I did have a major life goal of doing such a build and hitting 200 in a half mile event, and this build made it happen; so I definitely wouldn't say I regret the decision overall.
3. Reliability - Having the big power was fun, but the reliability concerns weren't. I was not thrilled with the amount of headaches I had to deal with during the ownership. Was not what I expected. But again, that's why I feel an NA build will be far more suited for what I'm looking for out of the platform!
4. Overall Spec - Yes, you're right a wrap could theoretically accomplish the color change that I was after; but I'm a paint guy through and through. No hate to any people with wraps, there's definitely some badass stuff out there! But me personally I just prefer paint. Furthermore, it also has a far nicer interior setup (Laguna leather, Alcantara headliner). And frankly it's just a nicer, cleaner car from front to back lol.
@@mentalmotors935 Thank you for the detailed information. I suspected some of this based on a close friend experiencing similar ownership.. Also welcome to the DMV (DC, Maryland/Virginia) area. Congrats on the new pick up.. Yellow definitely pops. Mine is black/black with Laguna package so I get what you're saying about the quality.
@@10sect78 thanks man! If you’re in the area I’d love to link sometime!
Must be a viper delivery curse. You got yours delivered in the rain and mine was delivered in the pitch black at night. 💀 looking good though!!!
This is why I usually prefer driving them home! Appreciate it man.
You keeping this one N/A hopefully?
If so the 9L Stroker from prefix is unbelievable!!
I got to ride in sneakysnakes car and I fell in love. I can’t wait to get my own 5th Gen built like his one day.
It's like you're reading my mind! Yes, I'm definitely going to be keeping this one NA and have looked heavily at builds like SneakySnakes' car as a model of how I'd like to go about doing it. I love his solid power, usability, and most importantly the reliability. I think I saw him post he recently hit 12k miles on the 9L and I know he beats the SNOT out of it so that's really awesome to see it go that far without hiccup.
@@mentalmotors935 Look at the Calvo Gen V 9L Stroker Package looks more solid and they don't use the standard useless ecu. They use Motec
@@TheWorsey Calvos 9L is incredibly good, but imo the prefix 9L stroker is much more versatile. After riding in sneakysnakes car I truly believe his car to be the perfect street car. Plus he beats the hell out of it (as he should!) and it drives flawless every time. Just a personal opinion sharing my experience with the prefix setup but regardless both setups are a win win lol
@@mentalmotors935 His setup is perfect imo. I was anticipating the ride so much because he has my dream car + dream build but somehow it impressed me more than I thought! I was speechlessc and jiggling like a child 😂😂. Even now when I watch the videos I took of my ride along I can’t help but smile, Alex is such a cool guy which made the ride even more enjoyable! He saw I left him a message that I was deploying soon and he gave me and my buddy a ride before I ship out.
But his car is so capable, I’ve rode in a 5th Gen (SRT trim) and it felt great, and planted but Alex’s car… whole different animal.
@@TheWorsey Motec is more expensive, Prefix most probably produces the same power without spending the extra cash on the ECU.
Just curious what kind of reliability issues you were experiencing.
Various different issues ranging from minor to not so minor.
Ohhhhh Gratz man? Wanted an NA car with no turbo's? one more question since I have a 2016. Did the yellow car go in for R28/R29 recall and still have a 10 year warranty?
Turbo car was fun but I believe an NA car is far more in line with my personal use goals and overall usability. It did, but it's been 10 years at this point so it's out of the warranty. I've also heard that the rare instances where that warranty actually needs to be used, it's made to be an EXTREMELY difficult process... but that's just what I've heard from word of mouth. Best solution I have in mind is drop in a fresh 9L ASAP - LOL
@@mentalmotors935 be carful sometimes the fog switch for the rear glass makes it shatter
@@TheWorsey was thinking about just pulling the fuse entirely!
Love the car❤
