5 things that ANNOY me about the Gen 5 Viper

[@dumbluck0629]

the only thing that annoys me is that I don't have one yet

[@ReconVette19D]

Did you get one yet??

[@burningblackknight8237]

Same

[@leumseelal3031]

Same

[@arcticvette6573]

those 5 things make me wanna buy it lol

[@phantom5573]

Number 1 - your TA is gorgeous, you obviously take really good care of it. Number 2 - a real sports car delivers an experience - good and bad. When manufactures try to give you an awesome sports car experience, without sacrificing comforts, room, and other amenities, they inevitable take about the sports car experience. Look at BMW M series, Nissan GTR - fast, roomy, all the features BUT BORING!!!!!!! I've driven all these cars and prefer the Viper and appreciate more and more older sports cars like my friends Pantera, GT40, and Daytona Coupe. Real sports cars. Drive them all and people will understand what I'm talking about.

[@autosist2571]

+Viper ACR well said my friend! Definitely agree that modern day sports cars with the paddle shifters and all that are just not as engaging of an experience. The viper is on another level in terms of driver involvement. The G5 is the best car I've ever owned.

[@gtperfection1596]

I love the viper corvettes have always been a bit more comfy and easier to live with but the viper is more hardcore each one is great in there own way.

[@ernestocastellanos6446]

*Real sports cars* The Bmws are sport sedans You probably wouldnt believe a Miata is more of a sports car than bmws cause its slower

[@realtalk4689]

The first and second are noteworthy to me but the others are supercar stuff thats very forgiving. My biggest complaint that is completely unforgiving is that when I look out my window everyday, I am reminded that I don't own one yet.

[@rollingstopp]

translation :::what he's saying is ive dropped my spoon in my ice cream wah wah wah

[@427BDK]

Its amazing how there is no security for the hood however the trunk is overly secured

[@dct124]

Brake dust?, yes you did buy the (TA) track version of the car to drive on the road, so yes you will have brake dust problems unless you replace them.

[@logwind]

what do you think of the driving position?

[@polarbear111000]

"Unconforting" isn't a word. Lock the car and the alarm will go off if someone opens your hood. It's f**king loud. No one, and I mean, no one, is going to stand around the car when that thing is going off. It scares the s**t out of me every time I forget to unlock the car before opening the hood. You can open the trunk with one hand. Just use your palm to push up on the spoiler while you press the button. If you can't figure that out.....hmmm..... It isn't hard to get in and out the car. You put your right foot into the cabin, and then follow it in. Don't try and get out of the car with both feet on the ground............duh.... Get the chrome wheels.......... It's supposed to be like a cockpit........it's a f**king race car. Lower the seat!! Videos like this are ridiculous and a waste of everyone's time.

[@winterpurple4587]

If you have to park it at a secluded place, nobody is there to help even if the alarm goes off.

[@StruddleToaster]

did everyone miss the first 5 seconds where he mentions it was very hard for him to even make this video because of how much he loves the car and he himself pointed out these things were petty??? am I the only one that watched and listened the first 10 seconds or does everyone literally have selective hearing? lol

[@autosist2571]

+Agustin Yanez LOL- thank you!!! Finally someone gets it. Appreciate you pointing that out!

[@Thomas___]

*_Bro but like, you have a fucking TIME ATTACK Viper. That will be a future classic._*

[@jimmyjames8280]

I'd be happy with a 1st Gen Viper :-)

[@roadfly360]

your garage looks very tight how do you get in an out of your car without damaging it. I would only park viper in there if I were you.

[@phillipberk]

I agree with all your points, one thing tho, The exhaust, A good fix for that is to go with an aftermarket System, like Corsa, Doesn't completely kill the heat but definitely helps it

[@autosist2571]

+Phillip Berk thanks for the tip!! Definitely would love a corsa on there!

[@mypalAbra]

@@autosist2571 and could put a heat wrap above the exhaust on the underside of the body. Also you could ceramic coat the wheels for the brake dust issue

[@ian6358]

Might help to know how tall you are and how tall you think would be an issue

[@snakeskinner2]

change the pads to ceramic to kill the brake dust ;)

[@autosist2571]

+snakeskinner2 thanks for the feedback!! We will definitely look into that

[@1stGenStunter]

I would be surprised if the OEM pads aren't ceramic...but who knows

[@MrWhoisthisisme]

A set of brake dust covers is like $25 bucks on ebay. They may hold in heat a bit more but your rims wouldnt get dirty so fast

[@Noname-lk2ol]

Man FUCK your screen name. U aiNt skinnin SHIT

[@dct124]

so a double tap won't pop the trunk?

[@maseratilife1316]

Awesome car man. My favorite color was thinking about buying one.. about new years time would you recommend for a weekend/ tracking? Regardless silk gorgeous TA.

[@S25117]

For me the most frustrating thing is not have one

[@QuintonTV]

I've got that same viper banner in the exact same spot.

[@autosist2571]

Lol! Good taste you have ;)

[@autosist2571]

+Quinton TV ha! Viper pride!!

[@QuintonTV]

AUTOsist mine is just a gen1 though.

[@Osegueraj]

Have you tried the rear window defroster, I own a 2013 Viper and my hatch window shattered after pressing the button. Give it a try, you might be adding that to you annoying list. Also is there a way to lock these cars without taking the fob out of your pocket? I can't seem to find a way.

[@autosist2571]

+Oseguera J have not need to use the defroster - it only gets driven on nice days which is every weekend in so cal ;). No to locking with fob

[@lolyouwontfindme6070]

The hood thing is kind of concerning, I honestly would put a lock on it or something cuz I wouldn't want some hater to like put some weird shit in my engine like that , and as for number 3, it's funny for me seeing 6 foot 5 inch dudes complain about "it's so hArD tO gEt iN tHiS cAr" like dude , it makes me appreciate my shortness even more, since I'm 5'4, and I fit in my daily in and out perfectly (2018 ZL1 Camaro, murdered out of course) And as for number 5, same as number 3, I'm short so for me this isnt too much of an issue,

[@moimoi4725]

What about the bump in the hood. It seems it is on the way when driving?

[@autosist2571]

+Charlie Brown not too bad. You get used to it quick. The car actually looks a lot bigger but when your driving, it's very nimble and balanced. The visibility is not good, especially if your tall, but it fits me like a glove and I got used to it quick.

[@moimoi4725]

Currently I have a 2013 Lotus Evora. After 3 yrs I like something different. I like the Viper a lot. I went to see one close to home that is for sale at a dealership. I sat in it, everything seemed fine but I was surprised with the tiny windshield. I'm 6'0 tall and I felt the feel of vision was narrow. I think the bump in the hood I could get used to it like you said but I don't want to be driving with my head down. Bummer. it is a very unique and bad ass looking car.

[@dct124]

You're getting in the car incorrectly. Butt in first guy then feet.

[@wolverine5555]

When i saw your orange color car i thought nah...but when you sat inside the interior clean sexy classic..

[@Dannyenlaweb]

It's the viper from goonzquad?

[@datsie14]

what about the droning at low speeds. Does that make the car a pain and the ass too? 0

[@marcusjustice9376]

What number is this

[@QDawg556]

How tall are you out of curiosity? I’m 6’2” and I may be shutting down this dream real quick

[@Nik.Coffman]

After each of your announces you can say "yeah, but it's a fuckin Viper".

[@autosist2571]

+Nik Coffman touché!

[@Basketballlove213]

Beautiful car you have ! Soon as I'm done with my degree, this is what I want!!

[@autosist2571]

Thanks buddy! We appreciate it. Happy to hear that you are working toward your degree! You will love the Viper and hope you get the one you want some day!

[@vincenttrotta576]

What annoys me is that you buy a badass wicked car and then you nit-pick it to death !! Ease your pain and trade it in on a used Pinto then you can show us, for 1 hour, what annoys you about THIS car. It will be even less entertaining than what I just watched.

[@stevenjr6582]

Totally agree man just standing beside it and .......

[@bubberrand]

Swap your brake pads out to Power Stop Z23 or Z26. That will kill the brake dust. Ceramic Pro your wheels too. Keeps crap from building up on them.

[@misutatomasu]

did you have any issues with oil pressure/engine/transmission yet, that seem to be pretty common with T/As? I heard they recalled many cars because of it, im kinda worried to buy it because I'd have to ship it all the way across the world so for warranty I have to ship it back to states if something happens which adds up to additional costs...

[@autosist2571]

+misutatomasu my TA has been rock solid and has 10k miles now - not one issue. There definitely have been some with issues and QC has been pretty poor I'd say. However, there are plenty of gen 5's that have many trouble free miles with owners tracking them hard. Being that it's a hand built super car, I think there is some risk. Be careful with warranty as from what I was told, anything outside of the US would void the warranty as well as any modifications would void it as well. Some mods are ok and will be reviewed on a case by case basis. I'm leaving mine stock as it's plenty of car for me and enjoy it thoroughly.

[@khosaairborne509]

man the colour of your car is eye catching..

[@15DudeAwesome]

Love the color.

[@LegendInThaMakin]

How tall are you??

[@autosist2571]

5'8" 180 pounds

[@LegendInThaMakin]

AUTOsist Lightening fast response. You deserve this sub, thanks. You think I'll be fine as a 6'1 guy? Maybe if i pulled the seat all the way down? The viper is all i desire man.. no other car and if its too small for me that would crush my world.

[@autosist2571]

+LegendInThaMakin they do make a seat lowering kit. I think you will be fine. The previous owner of mine was like 6'3" and no seat lowering kit. He loved it but it was a bit cramped for him. Look into the seat lowering kit and also go sit in one before you buy if possible

[@LegendInThaMakin]

AUTOsist Thanks, going to test drive one this weekend. Cant wait. It's a gts though.

[@C_Alcock]

This dude literally described owning a sports car lmao

[@kirara4953]

It's still a ferocious venomous Viper, who cares if it has flaws it's awesome!

[@trillion91]

Why Buy?

[@1stGenStunter]

Issues #1 & 2 would bother me, but those chrome lugnuts have me seething!!

[@Sw33t146]

2 hand operation ooooh shit mission impossible 2 sec later opens it with one hand Mission accomplished

[@casinc.2138]

It honestly doesn't even matter cause who tf is gonna be opening the rear to store stuff anyway?

[@SharkEsq]

I have an '05 and a '15 GT. The MOST annoying thing about the '15, is the fact that they moved the window buttons to driver's side door, thereby cutting into your lateral leg room. Plus, the seats are FAR less comfortable than the '05's. No matter what you do, you're either too close to the steering wheel, or too far from the paddles. It's the only car I know of where the new model was made to be more uncomfortable than then older one. Notwithstanding, it's an awsome car still.

[@rkh7169]

Things that annoy me about my gen 2 2000 Viper GTS. You can pop the hood from the outside, No ABS ( this is really annoying when driving through the city) No backup camera, no side pipe exhaust.

[@kseries1981]

Complains that the trunk doesn't open all the way. Really? Really? Looks like you bought the wrong type of car, buddy. I heard the Camry's are really good this year!

[@dodgefreakingviper]

Looks like the video was not a hit on the Viper forum..... However your opinion on your car is valid if you feel a certain way, there are things with my Viper that I wish I could change as well... It is what it is...

[@autosist2571]

Agreed! I love the G5 but was merely trying to stay objective. Appreciate your feedback!

[@dodgefreakingviper]

+AUTOsist I hope you enjoy your TA.... Owning a Viper is unlike any other car you will ever own.... In my review of my Viper I also gave honest opinions both pro and cons... I will look forward to seeing your next video on the Viper...

[@autosist2571]

+Steven Jeffers I love it!!! Be sure to subscribe to our channel to keep updated. We have a few other videos of the TA on there already. Cheers!

[@massviper5969]

I’m surprised he didn’t complain about it being a manual

[@LawrenceMarkFearon]

I think the hood latch was left out for the aftermarket to make money selling them. Just like the front license plate holder and driving lights. A set of aftermarket exhaust headers and catbacks wrapped in heatshield will keep your sills cool. I like Bad Boyz Garage Super Long wrap around headers with Agency Power Titanium exhaust capped with Belanger tips. 100lbs. less + 60hp; with the works in heat jackets.

[@matyasmolnar6450]

if you have such problems then I suggest you buy a bentley. better suited to your expectations as such a masterpiece

[@23mustang]

A viper isn’t meant to be like a luxury vehicle.. and every one of those “problems” are DEFINITELY worth putting up with. Or at least it would be for me anyways. The viper has always been my dream car!! I have always wanted one sooooo bad!! Probably won’t ever have the chance to have an amazing blessing like that, but I can still dream tho right lol...?

[@The_Turbo_Charged]

yes def really dumb petty things, are you kidding with the brake dust? like any car!! unreal, its hard getting in and out lol

[@davidlima8204]

Having owned 4 viper, here's how to get in....sit your rear end in the car first then bring your legs in.....much easier.

[@jalo1739]

Add 2 more downsides: 6. Tachometer is slower that the engine riving speed. 7. The front huge fenders, they are ugly as hill from side view and made the front wheels and tires look very small!

[@ronsvg97-25]

That second thing is definitely opinion only, that's something I love about the Viper

[@ReticentIndignation]

@@ronsvg97-25 same...not sure how they can be perceived as ugly.

[@Freschcars]

Good list except number 4. I'd replace it with tire options on sidewinder 2

[@magnadar]

Good thing, everyone shows HOW to open the hood, so everybody knows the way :/

[@dcartellone2659]

The 6th thing that annoys me about the viper..is that I’ll never own one to complain about 😂

[@chrisrawk5802]

beautiful car!!

[@claytonbigsby1017]

That color looks amazing

[@daniellozano8780]

If this isn’t just a way to brag that you have an amazing TA I don’t know what is

[@brandonwetterman5142]

Sort of like a race car hey

[@NoLandGod]

Luckily there is a seat lowering kit

[@Freschcars]

Guys, car companies watch these videos and improve designes based on these "duh" statements. These videos are great

[@30iuoenyc]

AUTOSIST....WE NEED MORE VIDEOS OF THIS T/A!!!!!!°

[@venom-dq4rb]

I own black TA #5 , my suggestion to you is to buy a corvette or eat less soy products, videos like this are unoriginal and have been done over and over again, , 5 reasons why I hate my lambo, 5 reasons I hate my .....“Insert car” I’m going to make a video on the 5 reasons I hate people who post crap on KZbin , thanks for inspiring me with this crap.

[@autosist2571]

venom lol - then why do you continue to watch them?

[@venom-dq4rb]

I don’t watch them, anymore , what number is your TA ? I’ll post it in the TA owners section on the VOA along with the caption “Owner make stupid videos about how much he hates his car in an effort to get a KZbin sub.

[@autosist2571]

You clearly didn’t watch my full review saying how much I love the car or the disclaimer I put saying how the things I said were petty and tough to think of.

[@ehiracheta]

#4 and #5 i don't agree with...but the others were very good to know!

[@OutThere5]

Loving the Gen 5. What a beauty

[@jonienglish3231]

Dodge should make a 2018 viper there halo car

[@jasaircraft]

Yeah they really are petty things, you can move the hood latch inside, you can change brake pads that dont dust much, you can loose weight for easier entrance and you can easily avoid standing by the exhaust.

[@flashyincorporated7601]

ACR looks badass but I like your TA

[@TheTexasViper]

Sold mine after 10 years....0 COMPLAINTS

[@michaelbeardmandown727]

GREAT POINT ABOUT THE HOOD TO BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE by anyone.

[@Larryfromthe]

Nice ride!!

[@stangtrax]

#1 is exactly what I said about the hood, because doesn't others do the same? I love the car but I can't afford that one. hopefully within less than two years I can have enough saved to buy a gen 3 out right. My biggest hate is the car needs to be really driven and it seems so far for me to find road courses where you can let it rip.

[@autosist2571]

+stangtrax try and get a gen 5 if you can! Puts the prior gens to shame. Plenty of canyons where you can enjoy it here in cali, but agreed, the track is where it belongs.

[@stangtrax]

thanks, be safe and have fun

[@andyv8806]

Its a super car, buy a CTS-V for the bells and whistles

[@jonienglish3231]

How tall Are You ???????????? Matt Fara drove one with no shoes on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@autosist2571]

I'm about 5'8 and have plenty of room. Vipers are notorious for having a tighter cockpit but after a few days I really got used to it and felt very connected to the car.

[@leonidassaber7335]

brake dust lol

[@InTheZone85]

I think the 2'x2' yard is very annoying. Other than that great looking car!

[@bytheway-cd5tp]

My grandpa owns one of these cars

[@LoKiFee]

I get he says it was hard to find the things he dislikes but the hood latch is a viper thing and only viper enthusiasts would know that. His attitude saying the things comes off like he hates the car period

[@belfort777]

claustrophobic? dude, this is a race machine not a limousine!

[@autosist2571]

HAHA - come on, there should be a happy medium no?? I will say I got used to it after a few weeks. Fits me like a glove!

[@belfort777]

AUTOsist to me it is the best thing, makes me feel like being part of that car, not just like in the car

[@pebblez_]

it is an super/exotic

[@gyeoxn7815]

I mean like you can give me it if you hate it

[@joebon7175]

I could think of five things I’d buy instead of that car

[@choward874]

Dodge shoulda designed it with the exaust exiting out the rear like on the old GTS plus it sounds a whole lot better!

[@jovhannyfeliciano7179]

I care less about its flaws, I love the style and aggressive looks of the Gen V Viper.

[@chesterstone5739]

Yea definitely don’t like how someone can open your hood and start stealing parts 😂

[@porsche9441987]

The 6th thing that annoys me was this video. It’s a Viper!

[@oklil_pip1077]

My dad has been saving up and he was like we will get a Corvet or a viper and I'm like viper hell yes viper did not say hell in front of my dad sorry

[@ngaduong6716]

That’s my dream car

[@RussOasis]

#1) I have spent $100,000 on a Viper (10 times over) and have made my own judgements. My point is that complaining about things that aren't germain to a street legal race car doesn't help keep the car alive. If I hear one more time that the footwell of the car is hot or that the car is "a handful," I'm going to throw up. #2) It's the most exclusive car in the world for $125,000 and handles better than any car under $1,000,000. If you want to keep complaining that you can open the hood from the outside, go ahead.

[@autosist2571]

+Russ Oasis help keep the car alive? Production stopped due to the airbag issue. Don't lecture me on what things bother me about the car that I love. You chose to watch it ;)

[@autosist2571]

+Russ Oasis I suggest you watch my full review too. I clearly state the things I say are pretty petty but still valid IMO

[@ManfredEWhite]

Nice video.

[@JerryDey]

Back in the day EVERY domestic car opened the hood from the outside. The men that originated your car came from back in the day. Even big shot Doug Demuro hasn't figured that out. Next, buy new gas shocks for the rear glass. There's two less things to crab about.

[@bearbeau13]

If those are annoyances then I'm in lol

[@rktmn1]

try a Gen 1

[@gomezgomez6299]

Wwwuawuuuua .....”Ihave a Viper but don’t like that it has some ( BS little things) bad things on it , like the rims get dirty when I drive it! Yeah I couldn’t believe it myself “ BOOHOO!

[@jonienglish3231]

My office co worker has one gts with the big wing and extra lights in the front bumper. 100,000 km on it ,driven hard.!!!!!one time he wet his pants going side ways. On highway at 120 kph..lucky he recovered it.

[@CrankAddict]

What a crybaby! I've dealt with a gen 1 and gen 2 Viper for 17 years now, and I would never post such a video. This guy needs to grow a pair. Do you need someone to shift for you while you keep two hands on the steering wheel? You just need to sell the Viper and buy a Corvette. Done. No more complaining. I've said before that it takes a special person to daily drive a Viper, and you have just proven my point.

[@autosist2571]

+mcgyverdude hahahhaha funny guy - love this car dearly. Agree that it takes someone special and a bit crazy to daily drive a viper...more power to you. I'll never buy a Vette!! I love the viper way too much! Did you not hear me say that these things are PETTY! Still, it's good to be objective. Watch my full review and then you can judge me!!!

[@Γιάννης-ξ8μ]

Shame that this car was stopped being produced by dodge. Dodge HAD the best equivalent Super Car to compete with the European market(and the corvette by chevrolet too) and it was even admired by Jeremy Clarkson(the world's most demanding car reviewer). And what did it get replaced?FOR A HELLCAT DEMON THAT IT IS ONLY FOR THE DRAGSTRIP. USELESS AS FUCK.BIGGEST MISTAKE THAT IT WAS EVER DONE...
