I used to have three ripped off pictures from American cars magazines slapped into the ceiling in my bunk-bed back in Argentina, one of a green 1969 mustang mach 1, another of a 1994 viper rt/10 and a Ferrari Testarrosa. Today, 30 years later and a crazy wild life, I'm a US citizen and a proud owner of a barn find 20k miles mach1, and was able to buy Tyler Hoover's (Hoovie Garage) 1995 Red Viper rt/10 (the cheapest dodge viper ever). I'm the happiest dog in the world! Both are the best muscle cars, all mechanical brute force, no aids what so ever, just your skills and the road. I'm building a new garage from the grown up by myself as I need more room to store the toys, but as soon is finished, the search for the Italian red money pit begins. BTW I love this country! God save the USA!

He said it produces more down force than any production car ever built. At 155 (lower than the speed at which the Viper produces its 1700 lbs of down force, the Koenigsegg Jesko (high-down force track version) produces 1764 lbs of down force, and at its top speed, it makes almost 3100 lbs of down force, which is almost as much as the thing weighs. Of course it's traveling about 100 mph faster, but if traveling at the same speed as the Viper, it'll still be producing way more down force. So close, but not quite Viper. Nice try.

One minor correction, the bottom of an airplane s wing doesn t generate lift, the top does. The lift comes from the air moving over the top of the wing faster than the bottom of the wing, so it isn t like the wing is being pushed up from the bottom, it is being pulled up from the top.

American like driving on the right side of the road? Reminds me of americans thinking Ken block is a world champion, thinking football is called soccer, or just americans saying america is a country. You know there is the rest of the world out there, right?

How exactly do you mean OHC engines are more complicated to operate? You push the gas it goes, you let off the gas it stops! Just like a push rod engine. Your guys content is getting worse all the time. I thank you re putting out to many videos.

This still doesnt try as hard to kill you as a 60's muscle car with just an L83 swap. All drum brakes, no power steering and a column shifter along with a good enough alignment and the saggiest suspension ever equals one car that wants you dead.

The person you are talking about that was trailering his ACR and lost MPG was actually the former president and CEO of SRT, the man behind the 5th Generation Viper. He lost 2mpg towing his ACR compared to the regular Viper GTS.

Can you do an episode on Jack Roush mustangs? He s an engineer who started working for ford and ended up with a nascar team Roush/Finway and his own after market mustangs that are geared more for handling but yet very fast!

Would love to see an engineering video on the Volt drivetrain. It's Chevy's most complex car, very reliable and is barely talked about anywhere. Best daily driver money can buy IMO. Love the show as always
