Now that took me back to the day. I remember being at Callaway Cars in Old Lyme, CT getting a personal tour before they started entering a ton of their mods in my '94 Camaro back in 1995. There was a Viper there getting some mods so I got to look at it pretty well. Including the undercarriage when it was on the lift. It was crude in so many ways, like it was hand built by someone in their well equipped garage. But, what a beast at the time. This was the first Viper I had seen up close, and I was really impressed despite the crudeness of much of the construction. A legend had been born. Still is a legend!
Must have been on hockey pucks, 1-2 gens with good rubber will hook first gear! (some wheel hop on poor roads) Even with the monster bottom end. No way in hell are ya spinning 3rd/4thThe headers sticking out of the fender on the show car were awesome.
I remember my first ride in an R/T 10....just a tire destroying beast. 1-4 gears up in smoke, even with giant 345 steamrollers. Awesome cars.
Later had a chance to drive a GTS hardtop, and rode in a 3rd Gen ACR for a few Saturday nights on the street, what a beast.

My dad has my old gen 2 sitting on exactly 10 year old tires. I still take it around the track occasionally. It's garbage on the road course but still hooks pretty good in a straight lineYou'd be surprised how many are rolling around with 10+ year old tires, or even original ones.
It was a friends Dad's car. We took it out of the neighborhood behind a shopping center and he let it rip from a dig. Dumped the clutch in 1st and lit them up and proceeded to just rip through the first 4 gears and the car never hooked up. It was the first (and probably only time) I ever felt a car blow through the tires all the way into 4th gear but I promise you, it happened. Tires may not have been brand new but weren't junk...Must have been on hockey pucks, 1-2 gens with good rubber will hook first gear! (some wheel hop on poor roads) Even with the monster bottom end.

Love it! I think Clarkson made a comparison to the Viper is like that crazy mate of yours, one moment you are having a pint and the next he's trying kill you with a chainsaw!
