hello Mopar lovers today I have an
0:02
interesting piece of paraphernalia here
0:06
you'll have to forgive me for taking off
0:08
this rubber band but the snake skin is
0:11
being held on not by static electricity
0:13
as it's meant to be but by a rubber
0:16
actually now it's being held on by the
0:18
static electricity well that's nice this
0:21
is as you might have
0:22
guessed a Dodge Viper press kit and you
0:25
will
0:26
notice it is held in this uh special
0:30
snakes skin wrap which I will now set
0:34
aside and here's the box and Chrysler
0:38
has had some rather amazing presets over
0:41
the
0:42
years some of them have been better than
0:45
others uh at this point I guess it was
0:47
an SRT Viper rather than a Dodge
0:51
Viper and when you open up this
0:56
box you notice it's advertising the
0:59
return of the Viper and you may recall
1:01
the return of the snake you may recall
1:04
that the Viper was out of production for
1:06
a few years and then it was brought back
1:10
and when it was brought back as a 2013
1:13
SRT
1:14
model it was much more luxurious than it
1:18
had been before and it had some features
1:21
like stability control it was a lot
1:23
easier to drive I'm told and a lot
1:25
better on
1:26
rain indeed uh driving on rainy track
1:30
was not quite
1:32
as incredibly scary as it had been and
1:36
this press kit basically you got the
1:38
whole thing digitally as well as on this
1:41
little
1:43
book which unfortunately has very glossy
1:46
pages and that engine was always insane
1:50
for torque low-end
1:52
torque uh here you see that it produced
1:55
640 horsepower and 600 lb feet of torque
1:58
really you know that stump pull and
2:00
torque as they caught it really came in
2:02
at low
2:08
revs now everything in that book of
2:10
course let me move the book over
2:13
here is also in this very very hard to
2:20
open USB thumb
2:25
drive with the new Snake logo which I
2:29
understand when put it upside down does
2:31
not look like Donald
2:35
Duck so there's our
2:39
package I will be bringing out some more
2:41
Viper press kits later on and if you
2:44
really are
2:46
into
2:48
vipers then I will suggest this
2:51
excellent book by Maurice langang
2:55
Maurice has been with Viper since the
2:57
beginning and this is a really excellent
2:59
book that is written if you can get your
3:02
hands on it it is an excellent resource
3:05
it is as you see quite thick it is very
3:08
professionally done it has many
3:10
excellent
3:12
photos and it really goes
3:15
into the whole history of the vehicle
3:19
all 25
3:21
years now if you can't find a copy of
3:24
that book and you probably can't may I
3:27
suggest my own little work my humble
3:30
Book Dodge Viper the full story of the
3:33
world's first V10 sports car it is
3:36
available via V Loi books you can get it
3:39
on Amazon or elsewhere wherever fine
3:43
books are sold and also wherever less
3:46
fine books are sold what I recommend
3:48
this is one of the original hard covers
3:50
in the shrink wrap what I recommend that
3:54
is to get the paperback which has
3:57
updated text so any issues that we had
4:00
with the text we're addressing the
4:02
paperback and we could have some
4:03
additional material so I'll see you soon
4:06
and in the meantime buy one of these
4:07
books
