I know the price of education is super high, but damn was that an expensive lesson.

Poor Viper

Honestly, that’s what Vipers do. Notoriously hard to handle.
PineappleLoopsBroether
They should have called it the Dodge Don’t

Was hoping this would get posted
Lurkinjustlookinohlookarmrolls
Fuckers like these two assholes did something similar where I live, except instead of smashing into a pole it was a mother pulling out of/
Lurkinjustlookinohlookarmrolls
A gas station with her kid, and she is still not able to walk. Her hips were shattered, her leg was shattered, her kid had several broken

Bones. FUCK. PEOPLE. THAT. DO. THIS SHIT. ON. PUBLIC ROADS. FUCK THEM.

So fast he got to that accident way faster than the paramedics
whatsisname
That's not an accident, that's a crash.
KarmannGeezer
A Dodge Viper leaves no room for error. It lack all the nanny stuff to keep from doing this stuff.
Tr1gg3rH4ppy
Yeah I remember being excited to buy one in Gran Turismo then hating it
slack3rdav3
Yep! was my favorite car when I was a kid, til I tried driving on in gran turismo... made me super upset

Fuck both of them. Street racers kill people.
PineappleLoopsBroether
I had a nice car that people reved their engines at… I hated it.
WhatUpDog3000
Vipers are discontinued, but they made plenty since this model came out. They are all loaded guns meant to be handled with respect.
PineappleLoopsBroether
This guy really sucks. A viper is purposely too much car.
Bigemedic
You know how many Fifty-something men got killed by their Vipers? Me neither, but it was a few.
Ac1dBurn72
Uncle owned a towing company. Someone bought a viper, destroyed it a week later. He put it back together. Two weeks later. Happened again.
Ac1dBurn72
I will say, getting to help him on it and look at the engine, those things were incredible.
kaijuuGold
looks like the integra dodged that viper
pachyderm
Why did he swerve.... ?
Filanwizard
Vipers have insane power to weight really, And absolutely zero assistance systems at all. You need to be Stig level to charm that snake.
EatPieLander
"Stig level"
JustHereForTheRiots
Overpowered rear wheel drive is a scary thing.
tr26
It’s a Viper, it’s what they do. Especially first gen.
pachyderm
Well he won’t have to worry about that anymore …
BuickKiller
Cold tires. No traction. Dipshit
Kalmbach
Too bad he didn't crash into the other car. Fuckin' racers, just go kill yourselves and save the fire department the trouble.
TheLookAndFeelMUSIC
Lol that makes it sound like the fire department are hunting down and killing street racers.
Kalmbach
Well, I meant the fire department carrying off their mangled bodies after crashes. Waste of my tax dollars on dumbasses.
scribetree
RedCamaro
An old viper. 1st gen.
PineappleLoopsBroether
That guy really has half a brain.
TheMouseOfMadness
first time I've seen a video like this where it wasn't a mustang flying off the road
DasWauto
Probably due to the lack of a crowd to aim at.
notblubber
I'm sure the cops and insurance company will understand.
backrideup9
He did win the race.
GhostSavage10
Hopefully no one got it on video.
SuperDramaticFusion
PrisonDonkey
I mean yeah. They'll definitely understand. After all, he had to.
ivymantled69
The way he just stumbles off down the road at the end. Game over man! Game over!
Monolithe503
I’m confused on did he run comment, did he run from what, he didn’t wreck the car
PineappleLoopsBroether
The person speaking likely o my saw the empty seat just after the driver was standing.
dracko19
I'm not completely sure, but I think there was a guy off cam asking the camera guy if the guy in the Integra ran (drove off) but they didn't
PineappleLoopsBroether
The person speaking likely o my saw the empty seat just after the driver was standing.
Ryebread91
I understand integrity and making sure they're ok but is the integra required to stay there? Not his fault the guy wrecked.
dracko19
Yeah on rewatching this, someone came on the wreck and never saw the driver get out and thought the driver ran away but he did not
SeasonedCitizen
Old enough to know better. Street racers give car guys a bad name.
TsubakiTragic
He's one of the Maddison Boomers... they're not normal.
DasWauto
Yup, same vibe as the asshats revving and doing burnouts at car shows. No-one is impressed, you’re the reason people hate us, fuck off.
UnremarkablyInteresting
The worst new trend I've been seeing is the morons taking off their aftermarket steering wheels while at the lights or worse, while driving.
ibeandrew
Exactly. I drive a fast car and every time I pull up to one at a light, they HAVE to rev their engine try to blow me off the line. Relax,
ibeandrew
dude. I’m just going to pick up some groceries. Shits annoying as hell.
discotheque42
I like to let them think I'll race them, and then let them rocket off into the blue lights while I mosey off about my own business
minipancho94
we need more tracks and safe areas to fuck around instead. would love to practice cool shit/race safely, but i cant afford to risk my car.
IamtheAIyoushouldfear
Gran turismo and steering wheel system, get to wreck my little car around Laguna seca time and time again, 1000s of miles from the place!
AbsolutelyDramaticNutjob
Forza Horizon if you want a wide variety of absolutely normal vehicles to bomb around in various countrysides (one-ish country per game)
IamtheAIyoushouldfear
I do but unfortunately don't have the Xbox. I have project cars so I can race around Oulton park, which is quite local to me.
ThisUserNameMightBeTaken
Forza Horizon 4 & 5 available on PC. Sauce: have both on Steam.
DasWauto
May I recommend autocross if you’re not already familiar. It’s the most approachable form of motorsport and easiest on your car.
discotheque42
SCCA also does track school days. Got to do one at the Gateway road course in St Louis. 5 sessions with an instructor in your car.
Iwasoutedbyatroll
So the red car won, right? He finished first.
rmichelsen480
He definitely finished.
Couchwarrior1337
The red car won and is announcing their early retirement posthumously.

At least he has that going for him, ha!

Yamusa
The white car won. Look, not even a scratch.
SchizophrenicEuphoria
The integra was either scratching the inner lip of his wheel on the ground, the steel band for the tire or was 1/2

Pretty lucky that didn't end up worse.

Viper SR1 has no airbags, and a 700 lb, 10 cyl engine. Define "worse".

Hitting someone else.

Dead.
lambomoonhodl
Or killed an innocent bystander.

He could walk afterward, there were several ways it could be worse.
bozonebum
There was definitely an airbag there
FranxNBeans
Vipers are fast as fuck! You just can't turn the wheel.
PineappleLoopsBroether
The Dodge “you will die” viper… owned by guys who find out.
RednapxpandeR
If you’ve driven a Viper you know that car is trying to kill you every time you hit the gas
SuicidalBallsack
Friend worked at a dodge dealer for 10 years and saw this happen 4 times right after the person bought it. shame
ATerribleArtist
There's a wonderful craigslist ad that describes it with all the menace and fear it deserves.
TheCaptain00
I get that reference.
dustytrenchcoat
Shit I feel most American cars are this way inclined to a degree - Japanese imports for the win
UraniumNight
The Viper lies to you. It whispers, "you can handle it." You cannot handle it.
artistandascholar2000
A feature.
GreaseMonkeyOfLove
And when you hit the brakes. And when you turn. And is very menacing when parked.

It was my favorite car ever til I tried to race with one in Gran Turismo 1 or 2. Literally impossible...
ArcaneEyes
Don't think it was in GT1. Test Drive 4 had one though :-D

Dont recall if I had GT1 honestly. Def had GT2 though

thesameasyours
looks like the 600 hp was too much for the tires
thatfreshjive
Stereo was too loud? Was he adjusting the A/C? xD
thatfreshjive
and the 700 lb engine block was probably too much for his face... AIRBAGS! That's what I forgot. Just like Chrysler/Dodge.

Tire quality is what got John Walker… never should have happened.

Daywalker27
I wonder if stability & traction control were turned off… oh, wait
thesameasyours
Sometimes i wonder if the steering wheel locks when this happens. Idk but 600hp is a lot of fucking hp
ananfro
Eh not really. In a truck, slow, car-quick ish, bike, hoooooollllllyfuuuuuuuuuck
tr26
Are you thinking of torque?
Ismelledwhattherockwascooking
I think he's just trying to be edgy, that viper has 400hp and does 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, that's more than quickish for a street car
Ismelledwhattherockwascooking
600hp is alot in a car, I dont know what the hell you are talking about
ananfro
I’ve got a 530whp boosted 370z. Yeah it’s quick but by no means is it a lot.
BearRaid
It’s a 1st gen viper, I’m surprised he kept it straight for that long.
bluerazzgummy
That’s not a 1st gen. 1st gen was curvier.

I am surprised the engine holds oil.

Like the Shelby Cobra and Sunbeam Tiger. Many were destroyed by their owners.
TheKoolAidMans
he didn't hit the gas really till the end
MotoCanuck
SR ii; Gen2. Heavy clutch, and no ABS. Between accidental clutch kicks and panic braking locking up the wheels, it basically becomes a 1/2

Redshadow09
can you explain for those of us who are not well versed with cars.
qtRaven
It's not a car, it's a cartoon. You hit the gas and a Dodge Viper just decides where it wants to go.
Criecheck
Like riding a bull that just had its balls slapped.
Flawlessteve
It's like driving any of the cars in cyberpunk 2077
rdoyel
While in nature the mustang seeks the blood of the innocent. The viper seeks the life of those that think to tame it.
barqshasbyte
As a mustang addict, you are not wrong.
SirSnickleFritz
That... is appropriate.
BojanglesTheFlyingCar
A baby pig covered in baby oil is hard to a control. Now imagine it was an 800 lb boar. Trying to kill you.
N0ticeablyFAT
Ever tried to control a puppy/toddler that wants to go literally any other direction than you? Give one a V10.
JohnMike64
It's a naturally unstable car. Car wants to crash at every chance. Basically a shit car that looks great!
herrniemand
It's a bare-bones V-10 sportscar. No ABS, traction control, or even airbags in the early ones. Basically they were designed to kill you.
Joylove
Not to mention a ladder chassis made from pig-iron and handled like an antique carriage.
LennyNero
And an engine that sounds like a FedEx truck with a bad muffler.
LordBiggusDickus
I want one.
TheDrunkenWrench
The early Vipers and the Shelby Cobra embody the term "fuck around and find out" they have no assists and are unruly beasts.
TheAbomunistManifesto
the first time I saw this car as a kid was on TV. It was in a drag race against a fighter jet. The jet won at the half mile by 0.2 seconds.
STGxDante
"The car tries to kill you." Is just about the most accurate quote for a viper and most often told when buying one. I still want 1 though
Starbolt81
They have a 488 cubic inch V10 lifted from a truck. It's a mountain of torque that is difficult to tame.
scatter
It's got a whole lot of power and not so much control.
Redshadow09
So for show but not for performance got it. I.E. the one night stand of cars.
Bcary461
Most cars are designed to help the driver avoid death. A Viper has no such features, and is designed to be driven by those w/experience. /
Bcary461
They were successful racecars, just not great street cars in the hands of people who were used to normal cars.
bamcobra
At the time, traction control was solely the domain of the driver’s skill. No computerized traction system to help keep it straight.
BrdCdn
Traction control definitely existed even then. 1992 corvettes had it because they are built to actually drive.
bamcobra
So performance was dependent not only on horsepower but ability as well. Nowadays …meh.

Newfehotep
Stupid powerful, rear wheel drive, effectivly no traction control. A little too much gas in third gear and you're doing donuts.
Atomic2
Biggest problem was the chassis. Its a body on frame car with a basic chassis. Its not that powerful but lots of torque will twist the car.

EndorForestSummerCamp83
A guy I knew who had one back in the day referred to driving a OG Viper to “trying to steer a greased up whale”
captmcneil
As German car journalist and racing driver Tim Schrick once said, it's a car you'd love to own but wouldn't give to a friend.
Mpchilli
Not sure if the poor suspension plays a part too?
BrdCdn
It's death by a thousands cuts. Powerfully engine. Shit car. Suspension, tires, drivetrain. All not great.
blameitonmyjuice
Dumb question - would it ruin the value to add front-wheel drive, too?
MisterLemons
Oh yeah, big time. You don't mess with classics. The less you modify it the more it's worth.
InTangier
I guess, but from what I always read about vipers, better to sell for less than to sell it as a smoking wreck.
pianostacatto
Vipers are SCARY cars. The horsepower on those are ridiculous that if you didn't have proper weight dist., the thing could power wheelie EZ.
Atomic2
Lol, no. It has nowhere near enough power to do a wheelie, not even the much more powerful 4th gen, let alone the 1st gen which has less
Atomic2
power than a modern day mustang gt. Much less. Basic v8 Mustangs make 450hp now, the 1st gen viper made 400. //
pianostacatto
Imagine driving a car that's so crazy powerful that even with proper weight distribution it still has trouble driving straight.
Atomic2
Thats a lot of sports cars now. Any dodge with a hellcat engine makes 75% more hp than this viper. Some even make twice the hp.
