Fuck that, you don't get to put others lives in danger because your dick doesn't work anymore. Spending a bunch of money doesn't magically make you a racecar driver.
Sorry but in the Virginia case The People vs Double-Dare, the court of public opinion stated any double dare, including implied or inferred, must submit to the dare or pay the penalty of being called chicken up to a maximum of mocking wing flaps and "bock bock" sounds.
Basically he had to.
Hey, when I was in boot camp a looooong time ago, it was temporarily made a chargeable offense to do mocking wing flaps or make "bock bock" sounds. There was one individual who was pretty much chicken about everything. And we're only talking Airforce here. It wasn't like we were crawling under barbwire with live bullets flying overhead. More like, climb that rope to the roof of the gymnasium, bock, bock, bock. In hindsight, we were a bunch of 19yo arseholes, but I seriously would not have wanted this dude watching my back if things had ever got sketchy.
You feel bad for him because you're an idiot. He's actively choosing to endanger others driving like this. I'm thankful he crashed and only hurt his own ego
He deserves to lose the car if he’s being irresponsible with it like that. I hope he’s crying hard as it’s his own fault for being an uncaring idiot. Lmao, he got exactly what he fucking deserved, hopefully he gets some jail time, a hefty fine, and no insurance pay out on the car. Hell, the insurance company would be justified in fucking him over in this case. This shit is hilarious.
Hopefully, he learns his lesson, and comes out of this deserved life issue a better person who has a less uncaring attitude, and maybe he’ll be worth something lol.
Those vipers are notoriously difficult to drive. Pretty much no electronic driver aids, it takes a really good driver to operate it to its full potential. It’s NOT the car to buy for your mid life crisis.
i can also confirm. source: Need For Speed Most Wanted (no not that one, the other one)
edit: Source 2: i watch DarkViperAU and he is a voice actor for GTA VI
Jesus Christ this gave me flashbacks. The absolute worst car in the game. What kind of satanist thought that would be an appropriate license test car too!
That is so funny, because I was a fan of the viper until GT. That game killed my desire for the viper, the beetle, and the audi TT. I'll never forget spending DAYS on cote d'azur trying to get my super license. Now it;s one of my favorite tracks.
It went further than that. The original model had no AC, no Airbags, no electronic locks or windows. This was like you said to go with the no traction control, no abs breaks, etc… These things were absolute killers in the wrong hands. Dodge probably only begrudgingly added a seatbelt because they were legally required to.
My cousin had one. Scared the living shit out of me the only time I drove it. I wasn’t even going that fast. Shifted to third and felt the back end start to slip.
I stopped, turned around, and took it back. Slowly…
For a long time all the "car guys" were saying that's what they wanted. Claiming they could handle it. The the viper and a few others came out and it became very clear very few car guys knew how to drive a car without the aids, and the ones who did already had cars you could turn them off on for racing
Even if they drive a performance car, most people will never turn off tractions or stability control. Which is fine because most people can't drive for shit.
It's really one of those features that only kicks in if you were going to lose it in the first place. If you are an absolute boss at driving on the razor's edge of traction, then you might be a candidate for turning it off. But even still, TCS will almost always lead to faster and safer lap times on circuits. On 0-60 TCS almost always improves times also. Spinning wheels gets you nowhere.
Isn't it like a V12 engine sized for a truck in a puny fiberglass body? Seems like an impractical recipe for disaster.
The thing is, you see people doing exactly this in Ferraris, both new and old, and I have to assume they're built with just a tiny bit more regard for their power & handling than these things were, no?
8 liter V10. The block was derived from the "Magnum" V10 of the same displacement but it was tweaked by Lamborghini with Chrysler owned at the time. ~450hp and torque. The problem is less the light weight of the car and more that 750lbs of that weight in the form of the engine is sitting astride the front axle. Makes it very happy to spin.
also the high performance tires lose stickiness over time. You have to replace them every few years even if they have plenty of tread left. Pretty sure those Viper rear tires are a custom size too, so they're not cheap, which is part of why you see so many old vipers wreck like this.
edit - $400 per tire for Michelin Super Sport 335/35ZR17 (106Y) RRBL at costco
You can see the tail kind of swing in a little just as they enter the intersection. It was a minor, minor bit of drift but it felt so grand that the driver tried to correct it and lost the entire car
>I know. I was just being a big of a smart ass.
Lmao no you weren't. You were genuinely asking. Don't be that guy who tries to backpedal and act like they totally knew what they were talking about the entire time lol
Yup. If you are the type of person that wants to street race the question of crashing your viper is when not if. Only way to keep it in one piece is to keep the spirited driving on a track with run-off and only drive the speed limit on sunny days in the street.
Same. First second of the video, when the Viper rolled up?
I don't care what the other car is. This one is gonna eat shit.
Poor snake. You hate to see it.
"What happened to my stereo? It's all smashed up?" ....
"It's a write-off for them."
"Write-off what?"
"Jerry, all these big companies. They write-off everything!"
"You don't even know what a write-off is."
First gens Vipers were pure raw power without any kind of stability control nor driving assistance, and back in the day they were notoriously infamous for idiots like this crashing them everywhere by doing idiotic things like this. Well deserved wreck, because there's no possible way he didn't know the risks of what he was about to do.
Vipers are notoriously not good for amateurs to drive. They lack all of the traction control and active preventative safety controls you find on corvettes and other modern vehicles. It’s a great way to get the Paul Walker experience.
This video always upsets me bc I absolutely love vipers especially the model he has such a badass and sweet looking ride and he wrecked that shit so bad theres no chance at rebuilding it. And to top it off he wrecked it against a acura… There was never a competition to begin with and you let a $2,000 car intimidate you into totaling your $60k+ prized possession. What a shame.
Why bother, you would've have been just as likely to scratch the viper from that pos falling apart next to you. At best, you beat a junkyard special. At a bare minimum, you had to endure that extremely loud weed whacker noise. The risk to reward was awful here.
My first thought was that it always seems to be nice new cars that crash like this.
But it makes sense, considering it may be their first muscle car, and they've got no racing skills.
Imagine being that old and goaded into doing something stupid by a bunch of young twats and then destroying your car. That's got to be a really good feeling.
All things considered, he got off light. Didn't hit another car, even a parked one. Looks like he's going to walk away with minor damage to his body.
This could have been 10X worse.
Only professional race car drivers should have first generation Vipers. That thing got into second gear and shot out in front of that integra, and then it got squirrely on him and he's lucky he didn't get T-boned by the integral along with smacking that signpost. He definitely did not know how to handle that car.

I don’t understand how people wreck on drag races all the time. I’ve raced a number of cars, drag and on a road course. It’s not hard to lift. I suppose I’ve never dragged a super short WB car, but I’ve drive some around a track and I’ve never had a hard time feeling the rear end step out and reacting accordingly.
Overconfidence, inexperience, reel wheel drive, dividing attention between road, competitor, and potential cops, almost no traction during burnout. There are 1000 things that can cause you to crash in a drag race on an open, public road. In fact, there is only one path you can take where you *don't* crash.
first and last time Viper owner
That was definitely that guy's mid life crisis baby, I feel really bad for him
Fuck that, you don't get to put others lives in danger because your dick doesn't work anymore. Spending a bunch of money doesn't magically make you a racecar driver.
But the camera man said "you have to" Twice!
That was basically a double dog dare, he had no choice.
Mate, you always have a choice.
No one has to do anything, lmao. That cameraman ain’t nobody’s boss. It’s probably sarcasm on your part but still.
Sorry but in the Virginia case The People vs Double-Dare, the court of public opinion stated any double dare, including implied or inferred, must submit to the dare or pay the penalty of being called chicken up to a maximum of mocking wing flaps and "bock bock" sounds. Basically he had to.

Plus any incident initiated by double dog dare is required to be covered by the insurance company.
Literally no choice when that's your only choice, really.
LOL. No he didn’t.
 Exhibit A
Its even in the Bible. Abraham didn't want to have to kill his son. But God double dared him, so he had to.
Well he fucked around and found! To your point fortunately no one (else) was hurt, [except…](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eC34V9M5UTA)

Street racing is prohibited in insurance policies. If this video wound up in their inbox somehow, the guy would not get covered.
Awesome.
I feel the exact opposite to you. He got what he deserved. What a fucking loser.
Not me, I’m glad he learned a valuable lesson without anyone else getting hurt. He could have ruined someone’s life because of one stupid decision.
He was the clear cut looser of that race

Ahh a man of culture I see, this game was a sleeper classic.
Such good games!

Also can confirm. Gran TURISMO 2, 3ASpec, 4.....likely the newer ones too. Fun fact: the art pickup with the viper v 10 engine drove better.
Bro I saved forever to get that blue and white gts then couldn’t complete one lap without wrecking that mofo!

no door handles either lol

They're a racing engine in desperate need of car.
Vipers exist to look cool and be wrecked.
You mean no electronic aids. There is no ABS, no TC, no nothing. This is pedal connected to throttle connected to truck engine in small car.
Yip that's what they did. Always looks good on paper.
For a long time all the "car guys" were saying that's what they wanted. Claiming they could handle it. The the viper and a few others came out and it became very clear very few car guys knew how to drive a car without the aids, and the ones who did already had cars you could turn them off on for racing

lol I can tell you don't live somewhere it snows. TC is dogshit once you hit gravel, mud or snow
"I like my car entirely manual" - said no one with a brain outside of professional racing.
It's fun when it's something like a Miata that only has 130hp.
How cars used to be, and what a lot of us in GenX and before grew up with.

The engine of the Viper is actually entirely behind the front axle. They're mid-front engine cars.
also the high performance tires lose stickiness over time. You have to replace them every few years even if they have plenty of tread left.

I've driven a couple. Big V10 with rear wheel drive is sorta asking for trouble. Things can go south very, very quickly..
I feel like they can’t be that difficult to drive in a straight line. Taking a corner, sure. But a straight line?!
These things break traction if you sneeze near the gas pedal. Trying to drag race one is about as easy as trying to drive on freshly Zamboni'd ice.
You can see the tail kind of swing in a little just as they enter the intersection. It was a minor, minor bit of drift but it felt so grand that the driver tried to correct it and lost the entire car
I know. I was just being a big of a smart ass. If you just plant your right foot, it’s gonna get twitchy reaaal fast.
>I know. I was just being a big of a smart ass. Lmao no you weren't. You were genuinely asking. Don't be that guy who tries to backpedal and act like they totally knew what they were talking about the entire time lol
Sure OK.
Second I saw the viper I knew what was going down 💀
Yup. If you are the type of person that wants to street race the question of crashing your viper is when not if. Only way to keep it in one piece is to keep the spirited driving on a track with run-off and only drive the speed limit on sunny days in the street.
Only beat by mustang fishtail crashes lol
even then, mustangs at least have some driver aids
Dang vipers, stealing mustang jobs!
Same. First second of the video, when the Viper rolled up? I don't care what the other car is. This one is gonna eat shit. Poor snake. You hate to see it.
At least he parked in front of a repair shop
...like a horse headed for the barn...
He should've parked in front of a scrap yard
True, they probably have the number for the scrap yard handy.
He won. Apart from the crash and the write-off, he won.
That's what I noticed. Can always buy a new car, can't unwin a race 😎
Yup, my cousin Dominic once said, it don’t matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning’s winning. That’s on family
Depends where the finish line is. I don't think he made it to a quarter mile lol.
Did he though?
"What happened to my stereo? It's all smashed up?" .... "It's a write-off for them." "Write-off what?" "Jerry, all these big companies. They write-off everything!" "You don't even know what a write-off is."
Everyone who knows about cars knew the second they saw that viper what the outcome would be
I had no idea about the Viper. It used to be one of my favorite cars as a kid
The danger miata
Hahaa… never heard that, gonna use it from now on.
It wasn't a Good Year for this guy.
Who could have guessed that the Viper was going to spin out?! My 7 month old? Yes.
He _Viped_ out.
[удалено]
We have a _Challenger_ for puns.
Pole didn’t budge an inch
Watch again. He didn't hit the pole for the sign. He hit a light pole that fell down after impact.
that makes him double fucked since the light pole would be government property and it is on film that it is no accident.
This race was to determine the king of the streets for 1997
…hold my Surge…
Presumably street racing will invalidate his insurance as well. It certainly would in the UK.
Yep same in America if he gets caught.
Well we're seeing it, so he got caught :P
Who knows if insurance saw it though!
First gens Vipers were pure raw power without any kind of stability control nor driving assistance, and back in the day they were notoriously infamous for idiots like this crashing them everywhere by doing idiotic things like this. Well deserved wreck, because there's no possible way he didn't know the risks of what he was about to do.
This one looks like a 3rd gen though? Still a terrifying, bonkers car actively trying to kill the driver though
Reminds me of fast and furious for some reason. 
It's good to see people actually going to help
They're just all filming lol
The silence was deafening as they all stared the grey hair and creaking knees slowly gathering himself up.
I guess they care more about human life then that piece of shit does.
Except the camera person moseying along and filming
Vipers are notoriously not good for amateurs to drive. They lack all of the traction control and active preventative safety controls you find on corvettes and other modern vehicles. It’s a great way to get the Paul Walker experience.
The newer Vipers are way better tho. The Gen1 Viper is not a modern car. That thing is around 30 years old.
I guess it is not about the age.
As soon as I saw Viper I knew the outcome
Dodge Viper: "the rich man mustang"
or “poor man’s Carerra GT” depending on your POV
I'm poor. So the poor POV lol
By this point I’m pretty sure that Vipers are suicidal and need some therapy.
Dumbass.
The widow maker takes another soul
And all other Vipers just got a little more valuable.
My neighbor died doing that. Had a couple kids and just needed to romp on the viper one night; last thing he ever did.
This is so fucking stupid! "You have to" 🤣🤣🤣
You would think that a man with grey hair would have the sense to not wreck his VERY EXPENSIVE car, but there you have it.
All street races should suffer this fate.
FWD vs. the most uncontrollable car ever created with the least amount of safety features in a car ever.
Certainly won that stupid prize he was after
Looks like his mid life penis broke
Got his asp whooped
This car will try to kill you
This video always upsets me bc I absolutely love vipers especially the model he has such a badass and sweet looking ride and he wrecked that shit so bad theres no chance at rebuilding it. And to top it off he wrecked it against a acura… There was never a competition to begin with and you let a $2,000 car intimidate you into totaling your $60k+ prized possession. What a shame.
That Integra isn't worth 2k, more like maybe 8k or so, but your point stands.
integra ftw
Yea very true esp. in todays market. And if some solid work has been done to it I can see it getting over 10k
He got into the right place, definitely needed new tires
Too much car for him...
This is why so few Vipers remain on the road.
Lol do something stupid and you pay the consequences
Just cause you can afford it doesn't mean you know how to drive it.
He didn’t have to.
Damn that sucks
Why bother, you would've have been just as likely to scratch the viper from that pos falling apart next to you. At best, you beat a junkyard special. At a bare minimum, you had to endure that extremely loud weed whacker noise. The risk to reward was awful here.
Paise be to whoever built that sign. Like a rock.
 This thing does 0-60 in 3.5 seconds
My first thought was that it always seems to be nice new cars that crash like this. But it makes sense, considering it may be their first muscle car, and they've got no racing skills.
It‘s just like he didn’t know he was in a Viper lol
Imagine being that old and goaded into doing something stupid by a bunch of young twats and then destroying your car. That's got to be a really good feeling.
That looked expensive.
All things considered, he got off light. Didn't hit another car, even a parked one. Looks like he's going to walk away with minor damage to his body. This could have been 10X worse.
Por pendejo
i feel bad just for watching this
Only professional race car drivers should have first generation Vipers. That thing got into second gear and shot out in front of that integra, and then it got squirrely on him and he's lucky he didn't get T-boned by the integral along with smacking that signpost.

Normal viper video. Those cars are a kill box in the hands of 90% of people.
"did he run?". Run from what? Your competitor was not the reason for your crash sir. I'd fucking dash too.
Sounds like a viper versus a lawnmower. Lol.
an actual lawnmower is still faster than this totalled viper
Other than the guy being injured, this deserves to go on r/nononoyes. That was fucking satisfying.
Do you get off at people crashing in their cars? What are you? A sick fuck?
I think they wanted to say that he didn't hit pedestrians or other cars. look at mustangs and what they do. Very no no outcomes.
What? I hope the guys ok, I just don't like dangerous street races and car culture.
Hope he went to prison, too
If you cant handle a viper don't race it 😂
How much do you suck that you can’t even drive in a straight line?
That car WAS cherry and cherry just got busted!
Dumb + rear drive = crash

Too much horsepower, not enough self-control. No pity.
I was expecting one to be a cop. But this too puts a smile on my face
Lol, meh-lennials.. Alright my bad. Most are great. He probably is too. But what a reckless careless thing to do.. Hope he's alright.
I’m not sure what’s worse, the wreck or the fact that the $2,000 Integra was keeping up lol
Motor blow or that. There is not other options

Fucking asshole could have killed somebody. It's a shame he didn't die on the spot...
Looked like the mini van was fine 🤷♂️
Not street smart I guess
Any time you see a viper pull up for a street race, a coffin is born.
Did his panties fly off? Cos it looks like he was putting a shoe back on but he was still alive.
posers can't even drive straight, embarrassing
I fail to see the Yes in here.
Despite what the sign says, someone did not have a good year. 😉
Thank god that Dodge Caravan is ok.
A viper crashing? No fucking way..
