This thing is absurd in the best way possible. What a treat to see it out, doing what you built it to do. It's rewarding to watch, so I can't imagine how good those jumps felt in person. Keep it up, I can't wait to see the landspeed car out there breaking a record next.

I think its a good thing he didn't take off the hardtop, the only thing worse than _not_ having a convertible convertible is having sand in the interior. Its coarse, and its rough, and it gets _everywhere._

[@casualpequod6054]

I will be honest, when you announced this project I did not expect the viper to ever drive, let alone go offroad. I was proven wrong and I am glad I was!

[@Farull]

Same here! This is the most complete project I've ever seen on this channel. I love it in its absurdity.

[@Avetho]

I knew it would work. With enough engineering, even a Koenigsegg Regera could go off road and do well. I think its just that the Viper is almost as ideal as you can get for a robust supercar to be converted into a rally car, its already prepared largely for having its underpinnings replaced with rally capable components, it just unfortunately doesn't have enough space to add a transfer case or a front differential, but that just means Baja Claws :P

Ahh yes very clever to highlight the Viper series off road scene prop, because I have done my homework on the Viper show's making lol, and recently watched a show about how they made the series and used look- alike props for the show's offroad scenes, because the Viper was too expensive to use like that lol.

I'm frankly impressed the Viper managed 4.2 MPG going (I'm hailing the algorithm here) full throttle most of the day. That's only about half what my daily gets on surface streets. I couldn't stop smiling through the entire video, good enough.

[@twotrackjack2260]

being born in 1990, the viper always had some legendary status for me. you could be driving a ferrari, a porsche, hell even a lamborghini. but when the viper rolled in, my jaw would REALLY drop. seeing your rally viper, i am 100%´agreeing that WHY has no one done one earlier, it looks unbelievable

[@RarelyOnline606]

My dad had a Dodge Viper once, and he got into a wreck with another car and landed in the median. Whether a Viper goes off the road by accident or on purpose, it will always be a mistake that the driver will be devastated by. Just like my dad when he wrecked his Viper. But somehow, some way, this dude managed to break that curse with his off road Viper. Awesome build man, hope to see more of it.

[@SynchronizorVideos]

After following the project for so long, it's incredibly cool to see this thing finally tearing up the desert. You've done what all of our inner childs whished we could do and built a proper, real-life, reason-be-damned Hot Wheels car. I half-expected to see flames shooting out of those side-pipes every time you accelerated (that would be a pretty cool addition actually). Looking forward to seeing more of it. For the steering, I wonder if it might help to build some give into the linkage somewhere. Maybe a cup & pin arrangement with a stack of Belleville washers in the tie rods. Not enough to let the wheels flop around, but just to take a little edge off of the hard hits. Doesn't take much to improve on a completely rigid linkage.
