10 Things About The DODGE VIPER You Didn't Know

[@gpaje]

The Viper GTS MK1 is without a doubt still one of my dream cars, and has a design that still looks fresh today, something that can't be said for many cars. I remember falling in love with it when playing Grand Turismo on Playstation all those years ago, now that I'm in my mid-40s and have some money, I'm going to get the real thing.

[@adamlapinski7590]

I agree completely! This design is eye candy, very simple, flush, subtle, and soothing. It's a shame cars are not made like this anymore. Instead we have fake vents and weird over-designed eyesores, and slapped with regulations.

[@hisheeelijah1482]

Cool man cant wait to do the same

[@H3DG3xC043]

Membwr the show viper , it had the rocket launchers on the side skirts

[@charlieryan1736]

So glad you’re still enjoying your beautiful Viper 🇺🇸🤘🏻looking forward to see your future mods.

About to put the Boost in BoostedMotorsports 👀 😈

[@cacinturner9287]

Thanks bro for the video. You just taught me something I didn't know. With the heat only working on right side of dial.. I'm in Detroit. We bought a 2000 RT/10 in May 2019. When we bought it, we didn't need to use the heat cause it was hot outside. But now that it's winter in Michigan and I crank it up to start it sometimes. I've noticed that heat only blows when the dial is to the right... I just thought it was something wrong with it.lol.. Just want to say thank you for your videos on your Viper. They're very informative.

[@JesseJS4317]

Nice list. I actualy did’nt know anything on this list. Good job pal👍

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@ssh7778]

It’s a an awesome car, always love seeing it. This is the first time I have learned it has crouch cooling vents.

[@BoostedMotorsports]

It’s an oven in there! 😂

[@bobleeswagger831]

It’s to cool those big ass balls it takes to track a Viper.

[@rockys7726]

@@bobleeswagger831 Exactly! My balls are very cool when I drive mine.

[@DeeperImageAutomotive]

Very cool, thanks for sharing! One of the things I love about my GEN3 Viper is that I can cross-reference parts from many Jeep/Dodge/Chrysler cars and save hundreds on parts lol. Keep it up!

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Yeah that’s always the first thing to try before getting the viper tax 😂🤟

[@ronmauti7584]

Was a Viper engineer and still own my 1997 GTS Coupe. The gas cap outer foam seal was for dust. The rubber rubber seal on the plastic gas cap was for evaporitive emmision and dictated by the EPA

[@tedhlokoff8964]

The Gas Cap Cover has a drain tube from it to the wheelwell below for spillage. The Aluminium is just a fancy cover and emissions caps are spring loaded etc. CEL if the cap is off as fuel system is closed and has a charcoal canister and emissions pump for fumes

[@ACDCKISSACDCKISS]

I also think it’s worth mentioning when it comes to the heater, it only comes out at the feet and the windows, the vents are exclusively A/C.

[@davidlovett7905]

Thanks, very interesting & certainly good info to know, when shopping for the Viper😁

[@knightmpw]

Thx for this video.coz.I'm hoping to buy one soon..

[@officialvyperactive]

1. Hood operation 2. Electric door handles 3. Underpowered brakes 4. Peddles off center to the left 5. Air vents directed at crotcharea 6. No cup holders 7. 2 coolant overflow tanks 8. Sidesill exhaust 9. Gas cap 10. Climate control system

This was a good video man.

[@ricks4447]

Another feature ahead of it's time is the adjustable pedals. Also, a lot of owners aren't familiar with the alarm reset.

[@truth6242]

Seat belts can be dangers, My late mother was in serious car wreck back in the early 90s and the crash made the set belt slice open her neck. She did not die from that.

[@alsekaity]

What’s the best website you use to get the parts for the viper?

[@brewstermcfly]

Where did you get those shoulder pads. Thx

👀 the hood is cool

[@tr1pleseven]

Had to replace the battery on my viper once and it was hell because I had to take off the left rear wheel and fender liner off and I'm gonna tell you now, its not easy.

Classic muscle now! Love it 🤘🏼🔧💯

[@wingman199123]

Thanks for the video, because I’m getting one at the end of the year and I’ve been looking for a how to video instead of a this car is a dinosaur video

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Thanks Nick! Definitely check out the 'Viper Mods' playlist on this channel we documented the full build on this car with every mod and upgrade you wont want to miss!

[@wingman199123]

BoostedMotorsports will do, I’m trying to learn everything I can about the gen 2 gts

[@almightywhitey6955]

Haha it's funny cause it seems like this video was posted just to say "look at my garage & my cars in it!" Cause....the info was super superfluous....and due to his own self-serviceness, he totally missed the "dinosaur" rip!

[@grahamsmith2022]

Dodge,taking the muscle car theme all the way by providing 1960's style brakes!,seriously though,what a great car and I own a Corvette!😀😉👍✌

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Haha weight savings! 😂 I finally upgraded the brakes on all 4 corners to the newer 4 piston Brembos 👌

[@bryannorris3976]

@@BoostedMotorsports if you don’t mind me asking. How much was the brake upgrade. I’m looking at buying one of these beasts

[@jesusiscomingsoon.5225]

Great video

[@tedhlokoff8964]

Rear brakes, actually came off a Mitsubishi. In 2001 the rear calipers were upgraded to a 43mm piston instead of the 36mm piston on earlier Vipers.

[@bobbyrowlett4518]

As someone who owns a ‘75 stingray, can confirm about the leaving skin on side pipes. 😂

[@BoostedMotorsports]

lol my sister still has a scar from one of those!

[@Ghilliemon]

Didn’t the challenger pre 2015 use the same manual trans as the 08 viper?

[@miggaytan]

What kind of fm transmitter are you using. ?It looks cool.

[@NXT_LVL]

3:50 This will bake your noodle... GTS (center rear exit) Vipers have a different pedal position than the normal Side piped Vipers due to the exhaust route

[@leah5555]

Gas cap is related to the 68 / 69 / 70 Dodge chargers. Great video!

[@ssoffshore5111]

Like most things on this car, it was inspired by the AC Cobra also... Well before the Charger.

[@rockys7726]

Don't forget the A pillar body panel is velcroed on. You can just pull it off with your fingers. Keep in mind this car was designed and built on a shoestring budget. So they started with the engine and chassis and built everything around it to just make it work. It was not designed as a comfort convenience normal sedan. It's all about the engine.

[@ssoffshore5111]

I've owned my GTS for over a decade and that is one thing I didn't know!

[@Jaymobe07]

The brakes suck so bad. Biggest surprise i got with my 97 was that my 91 vr4 had better brakes. Not sure if its just an issue with mine. Pedal feels pretty hard. Thought about trying to replace the proportioning valves since everything else checks out. The gas latch can be ran without the plastic cap. And gen 2 is the best gen.

[@Oldguynotbald]

Always wondered how the Viper would perform with a hellcat motor.. or the hellephant the the gen 1 Viper sounds like an angry Vacuum Cleaner 🤣

[@johnnychen3632]

Hey questions. Does the viper steering move a lot when on highway with even a tiny bit of uneven pavement?

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Better have a hand on the wheel yes. This isn’t no corvette you have front tires that are wider than the rear tires of most cars.

[@varpilahchase2598]

That's called tramlining, common on cars with wide tires

[@viperlove7018]

[@BusaSradEskedal]

Do you know what your ET is on your wheels?

[@micks7655]

Still great design timles great car, but they could use some proper brakes with ABS system and traction control that you can turn off if you like that's all perfect sports car for the money you pay.

[@ricksmith7357]

No cup holders in thisa car

[@Topofthelinetommy]

FYI the seat belts were installed that way because Lamborghini was involved in the production of the Viper

[@Jaymobe07]

Its because with gen 2 receiving door poppers, they could no longer have the seat belts located in the door, like in gen 1.

[@csnoopy]

Dude why didn’t you talk about its blinker fluid?

[@tedhlokoff8964]

The rad tank on the inner fender is actually a RADIATOR TANK and operates as the rad tank where you have access to the coolant (when cold). The 'overflow tank' inside the front fascia is actually a zero pressure Overflow tank.

[@jaredr991]

Why’s that hellcat chasing Batman?

[@thatcarlifeR8]

I disagree. Nothing wrong with the brakes. I owned a 99 ACR for 18 years. They are not under powered. The brakes lock up very easy, hence the crashing without abs. Panic braking. So by default, if the brakes can stop the rotation of the wheel they aren’t “underpowered”. My only critique, fun video. Made me miss mine. I shouldn’t have sold it.

[@thatcarlifeR8]

And you sort of hit on it talking about no ABS but there’s no traction control and there is no stability control which she didn’t mention the stability control. Also I believe that the 1999 model and 2000 model had forged internals making them perfect candidates for boosted applications. Oh, one final quirk And only the AC uncle had this, smoothbore intake tube’s with K and N filters from the factory supposedly giving the car an extra 10 hp and 10 foot pounds of torque. I have also read but not able to confirm that the ACR is rated at less horsepower than it actually is and that it also came with a different camshaft, a “hot cam”. Whatever that supposed to mean LOL.

The Center consul area looks like it belongs in a hummer lol why is it so wide !!!

[@cedeking3855]

Is so wide because the tremec t56 is enormous and with the engine mounted just between the driver and passenger feet you understand why the tunnel is so wide.
