    The original first generation Dodge Viper RT10 has one legacy in most of car culture: FEAR. For today's review we drive a car that has been deemed incredibly unforgiving, dangerous, and intense for its era of the early 1990's. The Dodge Viper came out as a car that used parts from everything - even a Dodge Dakota. So what made the Dodge Viper so intense for the masses and non-professionals? The lack of electronics. There is no stability control, no traction control, or anything to save the driver from making mistakes. It's the ultimate test of driver discipline and skill. Don't go fast enough and it's not rewarding, barely go over the limit and you are off the road. So are we able to tame Carroll Shelby's spiritual successor to the Shelby Cobra? Let's talk about it. Thanks for watching!

      These came out when I was 6, almost 7. We went down to the dealership afterhours to look at it because the internet didn't exist back then. I stood there for a half hour, face pressed to the glass, just...in awe, staring at this crazy car. In a world of Chrysler K cars, boxy trucks, fox mustangs and 3rd gen camaros this car blew my damn mind. I recorded, on vhs, motor trend and car and driver's weekly tv shows in hopes I'd catch the one with the review of the viper. I bought my first car and driver magazine just to see pictures of it. To a car kid in the early 90s, the Diablo, F40, and McLaren F1 were dream cars but there was no chance of ever seeing one in real life in a small town in Arkansas. The viper though, it was at the local dealership. It was tangible.

Credit where credit is due. It was built solid. Especially compared to most British vehicles of the same era.

It’s the most engaging car I’ve ever driven. I don’t even touch the radio ever, not because I can’t hear it over the exhaust (I can’t), but because I want to focus on the experience.

There's actually one or two of them still around, I believe.

    I've always been indifferent to the Viper. However, I DID enjoy David's explanation of the one in this video.

    The front end of the 93 viper is just so legendary to me, a simple design that just got to the point. Best era of cars

    Great review, you described the Gen 1 / Gen 2 Viper driving experience perfectly! It’s exactly why you rarely see high mileage vipers as they are crashed because the rear-end breaks loose so easily with the car making almost all its torque below 3,000 RPM... Plus it’s a “front mid-engine” car which makes the torque to the rear-wheels feel completely different than any other car... You really need to drive one to understand and ultimately respect the car...

    Dealership in Norwalk, CT got two the first year. Sold them for three times the $54k sticker. Used to occasionally see them out in my hometown of New Canaan. Such unique cars that stood out in a crowd of Italian, German and English exotics! Still love that first generation.

    It sounds so healthy. I was in grade 9 when I first saw this viper. I was in love with the look. Now not so much but still an amazing car for its time.

    I remember when I was 15 my classmate’s dad had a 2008 Viper bright green. When my friend was getting picked up the viper was blasting Accept Balls to the Wall

      "Ya gotcher balls to the wall, man!!!" Ahaha, my cousin used to crank that cassette tape..yup, lol in his '73 Charger, that and Ratt, on the way to a job we had together. my car was a '71 Satellite 2 dr painted to look like Daisy Duke's roadrunner & had a '74 cop 440 & 3.55 sg rear, 727 torque-flite trans. His charger only had a 318, but was in nicer shape, metal flake blue & Cragar SS wheels, lol.
      Viper! I've never had the privilege of driving one, I'm quite sure I'd love it.
      They're captivating af to look at & listen to.

    I always loved the Dodge Viper (but not the newer ones). I first saw the Viper as a concept car at the Minneapolis Auto Show in the 90's and fell in love with it. Then someone told me about the Plymouth Prowler and I switched focus. I bought the Prowler instead and still have my 1999 Plymouth Prowler and I constantly get the looks like you did @ 07:54 The only problems I've had with my Prowler was [both} window regulators had to be fixed. Other than that, "nothing" else wrong. I love it. !! :) But now .... after watching this video, I think I'll buy a Viper and add it to my garage. :)

    I've always wanted a 93. I learned to drive without traction control or and and all that other fun stuff. It's exciting to drive a car by feel rather than having a crutch to lean on.
