Karl, on the matter of hot water; 121 F degrees is considered hot enough to do damage if left in contact too long. The military showers I worked on were 100 degrees, summer and winter. Hot water heaters are sold with a 120 degree setting. Bath water is comfortable for most people between 104 and 105, hot tubbers have had heat prostration from over exposure to those temps. A 160-170 degree temp would put a cherry like the one you have on your calf with just a short exposure. I did plumbing to pay for my motor head bad habits!

Vipers are so damn cool! Major head-turners for sure! I live in a small town and a few weeks ago I saw a Gen 3 Viper coming down an exit ramp and I was way more excited to see that than any of the C8 Corvettes I’ve seen around here!

[@jeffstonecipher1594]

That exhaust sounds a lot better than the creek/crunch of that 30 year old Dodge interior plastic as Wizard shows how he gets in and out. Changing out some of that as it cracks and breaks from in/egress wear is going to be pure joy🙂

[@timbacha2278]

Two things. 1. Early Vier owners liked to cruze in parking garages, gun it, and set off the car alarms with the boom. 2. You have not entered many sports cars. The proper way is the reverse of what was shown to get out. Stand outside, step your right leg in and slide over the sill and under the steering wheel. Then swing your left leg in. This eliminates the unsightly scrunch trying to swing both legs in from the outside.

[@joshboss5962]

What a beautiful car (surprisingly wide in person). Super happy you found one!

[@ssoffshore5111]

Wizzard, you haven't heard drone and felt pain until you've completely straight-piped (headers, no cats, no muffler, side pipes) a Viper! I use to race GTS's with headers, no cats, no muffler, and side pipes... on a racetrack with ear protection AND a helmet on, pure pain! No joke! Never even consider this! A friend bought a 2017 ACR and wanted to do this. I warned him not to, he did it anyway. Long story short, he put a muffler on it the next day. They are BRUTAL completely straight-piped! Rear exit gen 2 GTS's aren't quite as bad being behind your head, but still some semi-painful drone! Also, a Galardo sounds nothing like any Viper. The firing order and flat plane vs cross plane crank sound COMPLETLY different!

[@cesarmoran7433]

Glad you're enjoying be happy don't ever sell the car this car is a long-term keeper

[@Come-What-May]

Stop to consider what Dodge was producing back in the late 80's/ early 90's. Then, like a bat out of hell,...they drop the Viper on the automotive world. That's the hardest, boldest move in modern automobile history. This car set the tone, raised the bar and paved the way for all the high power cars you see today. Adding to the low production numbers is the fact that many were crashed. These are becoming more and more rare. You can bet on their value going up, making this car legendary.

[@kmath50]

[@gregedmand9939]

If you watch channels like DDE, they thrive on setting up cars to deliver the loudest most ear shattering exhaust. To the point of adding "flame tunes" that shoot fire several feet and sound like gun shots. They take the cars to rallies and meets where hundreds of fans gather at the rear bumper to record and experience V12 power up close and personal. They grin nervously and wince. They are also going to become hearing aid customers. Too many people think you just "get used to" loud noise"....when you are actually permanently going deaf. Sore muscles get used to strain. Ears are one time only wear items.

Watching you describe how to get in your Viper brought back memories of 6' 2" me, in 1962, at 16 yoa, trying to learn how to get into the driver's side of my father's 1961 Austin Healey "bug-eye" Sprite! Yeah, it was that funny! It took more than a few tries, but I was bound and determined to drive that little jewel. and all's well that ends well. Thanks for the memories!

[@bobcoats2708]

Sounds like a pair of stereo inline-5s. Which isn’t a bad thing as they have a unique sound of their own, and I loved our VW I-5. Maybe if the Wizard puts in a cross or X pipe, as mentioned at one point in the video, he’ll get that true V10 sound.

[@VDPEFi]

Oh yes, perfect choice with the wheel colour and it sounds just perfect, not over bearing, reminiscent of a gallardo, Volvo 5cyl of course, a quieter Carrera GT even. Love it

[@walter6155]

The drone sound is resonance between the two sound waves, a multiplier that doubles the noise at the peaks.

[@raspucin70]

Heh. I had '01 Camaro SS with Flowmasters (I bought it like that). The startup noise was amazing, and the short stints around town sounded very nice, I thought that was perfect. Then I took it on 2 hr drive on the highway, and oh boy, did I get a headache. Ever since then, I appreciate quiet, understated rumble far more.

[@DJLizzHeadpats]

the rims look sooo much better now, has a nice look all its own

[@Engineering_Improvisation]

I used to work, and mod, those cars back in the day. Exhaust note was the most common complaint, as you noted. We put on custom headers and Borla mufflers with a full 4" exhaust. Sounded amazing and no drone. Another thing that will wake up these cars even more is changing the final drive. Stock is 3.08, and with double overdrive the gearing is way too tall. Changing to a 3.42 or 3.73 makes a massive difference. A stock car with a 3.73 would lose nearly a second on the quarter and close the ratios on the transmission a bit.

[@Derek8487]

[@3.2Carrera]

I found the same thing on my 1990 Corvette I used to run at the track. To me it seems like many modern mufflers assume a cat is upstream and if one isn't there they sound like warmed up crap. At any rate I had custom dual exhaust and then ran high flow walker cats and the actual elapsed times at the track were about the same. Heat soak in the intake was more of a factor than the cat itself. Also the Viper does sound amazing.

[@privatenexus5764]

3:40 YEEEEAAARS ago I had a tiny 2L stock turbo Mitsubishi Starion, with a custom 2.5" single exhaust (previous owner), and I *think* the single muffler (pre cat days) right at the exit point had the internals punched out, with a >1m resonator, and that tiny 2L turbo motor used to CONSTANTLY set off car alarms as I drove around carparks looking for somewhere to park. The beauty of it was that when driving, I dont remember it droning, only a deep warble at slow speed / almost idling around underground concrete carparks, probably further resonating my muffler. It was impressive, if only the engine performance bite lived up to its bark.

[@adubord20]
