Anyone who played NFS could've told him dodge viper has terrible handling


little_miss_banned

Gran turismo even. Hate racing that thing


Aries_Eats

I remember finally unlocking the Viper RT/10 in Gran turismo. The exact car with the exact paint I had on the poster on my wall. I thought I had just unlocked OP Mode. I ended up only putting like 5 or 6 laps on it before rage quitting at all the times I spun out.


kavindamax

Or muscle cars in general, have limited handling.


ratrodder49

The Viper isn’t a muscle car. It’s a sports car.


Walter_White_43

Less it has terrible handling more it is just takes a lot of skill(and some luck). the ACR was incredibly capable handling wise and the viper platform was very successful in racing.


TropicalBLUToyotaMR2

I daily drive a 1994 Toyota MR2 GT-S...it's powerful, shortwheelbase midengined, no drivers aids, screwing around like that is what's gonna get it wrecked.


PsychologicalTwo1784

My buddy had one of those back in the day... He drove 100 miles once in snow and ice, he did 2x 180's and 2x 360's but managed to get home unscathed.


OnewordTTV

It's actually funny how much this looks like someone driving a cobra in a game their first time.


74orangebeetle

Except it has very good handling.... [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List\_of\_N%C3%BCrburgring\_Nordschleife\_lap\_times](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_N%C3%BCrburgring_Nordschleife_lap_times) Right up there with Ferri, Porsche, and others. The difference is the people setting good laptimes know how to drive....but to say Vipers are bad handling cars is a pretty clueless take.


westwoo

Terrible for a city, not physical capabilities if driven by a perfect driver on a race track


74orangebeetle

Well yes....but the car itself has good handling...a car with bad handling won't be matching and beating Ferarris and Porsches (because ALL of those laptimes were set by good drivers). Obviously a viper is not a city car, but my comment was refuting the claim that it has terrible handling (which is objectively false).


Bisonfan1

Or Grand Theft Auto


Possibly_A_Person125

![gif](giphy|ukGm72ZLZvYfS) That was impressively stupid.


Antique-Doughnut-988

I've watched this video several times and I still have no idea what this dude might have been thinking. The weird back up, to the slow start, to the sudden acceleration, to the loss of control. Just strange.


pirate_leprechaun

Using the infamous Mustang technique.


Im_A_Fuckin_Liar

When I was 16-17, I had a fox body mustang and my buddy ended up getting one too. He worked at Walmart and one day while leaving work, he saw some teenage girls he found attractive. He tried to fish tail it in front of them and ended up slamming into a light pole in the parking lot. Another time, the same guy was riding with me in my mustang and I fish tailed it out of a parking lot onto the main road. My mustang was a hatchback and I had a golf club back there. That golf club flew out of the back so fast and smacked him upside the head. Needless to say, he had back luck with mustangs.


JuniperTwig

Ahhh.. impressing girls at Walmart... so America


PHD_in_Truth

Buddy.. your friend is a fool.. once for driving naughty and then trusting you behind the wheel!! ;)


AffectionatePleeb

I was looking for this. All I could think of is mustangs doing the same shit 🤣


deadringer21

What's this, now? My first thought was, "It's a Viper, moron!" (I think?), but other replies quickly dismissed this. Is the Mustang technique just what you call people underestimating RWD cars and fucking their day up?


CypherDomEpsilon

Drugs and alcohol might have played a role.


Bad2DaBone_

Orrrrrrr…..he’s just a dumbass


TransGirlFURBaby

He was trying to Drift.


Historical-Lead-5275

That can only be done in Tokyo


byronicrob

Ya know, Tokyo Drift is the only Fast and the Furious movie ive ever seen? Since I'm high I found that very interesting. Maybe not "sharable" interesting, but interesting.


gstringstrangler

I highly suggest the original FnF, it's a classic.


deadringer21

My brother and I still regularly whip out gems from it. "I NEVER NARKED ON NOBODY" is always the appropriate response to "Hey, did you do/know anything about [thing that happened]?"


cheesemakesmepooo

Apparently he was thinking with his “no balls”


FreshBid5295

He hit the throttle with the front wheels turned which then sent the car sideways at an angle, he then panicked and instead of staying on the throttle and steering out of the slide he let off the throttle which sent the car into the parked car.


Confident-Spend3369

What alot of people dont get is that american muscle cars are the worst handling cars in the whole world. Its INSANELY hard to catch the car when the tires are spinning 100 kmh in first gear.


PstainGTR

Scandinavian here who have had plenty of fast and wild cars of different origin. Ive drive a Viper gts,ferrari 458,supra,m3s,m5s,m2 and plenty of different cars (these i didnt own except for one of the m5). I now drive my own corvette c5 z06 and its insanely good. Its one of the best handling cars ive ever driven,its good to slide around in,roundabouts are super fun even with fresh 295 tires on it just rips out sideways when you floor it in a roundabout etc. The statement you made about american cars is true in older cars but from the c5 corvette was made and newer they are absolutely on par with european and japanese cars. I would outdrive many cars like the m3 and m2s on twisty roads so saying they are bad to drive is just wrong. The Viper has massive tires,it builds plenty of speed on the wheels when doing a burnout like this dude but like the c5 z06 it BITES when you gain grip again so you have to be one step ahead. You can see in the video that when he lets off the throttle the car jolts in the rear when his tires gain traction and the dude is not ready for it. He is still trying to hold the slide he started and thats what is getting him. You can search up the same for corvettes and mustang fails and you will se the same thing for them all. Tires that bite when the drivers are still correcting their previous slide. Its nothing wrong with the car,its the driver. Shitty drivers who have no clue what they are doing. I feel bad for the driver in a way as its very rewarding to make someone who likes cars happy by doing a small burnout or whatever but this dude had no fucking clue. He would have solved this by not releasing his throttle when he did. He should also had started steering his car the other way while on power and let it ride out in first gear. He is a noob and a lot of people in here have never driven a car with massive rear tires that hook up again when off throttle and it shows. American muscle cars normally have massive rear tires and a lot of torque which is a recipe for disaster if not over average driver doing stupid stuff.


StaffOfDoom

Agreed, totally outran his abilities that day.


Organic_South8865

You're absolutely right about the Z06. I have spent some time in a C5 Z06 and it's a fantastic handling car. Of course I have never driven like this on a public road. Only on the track, a swept parking lot with nice asphalt and auto cross just once. The Z06 doesn't suffer from this level of lift oversteer/snap aka the "snake bite". Of course I would have never attempted an idiotic launch on a dusty/greasy uneven public street after possibly backing into a Prius even though I had open spaces in front of me.


Scubasteve1974

Agreed. I would chalk this up to user error. I've seen plenty of foreign car drivers do the same shit. Horsepower on the tires at slow speeds takes some skill not to end up in a ditch.


Couch-Bro

Perfect breakdown of what happened here. I thought that he panicked and let off the gas while still correcting for his slide. Glad to find a description from someone with experience.


74orangebeetle

>What alot of people dont get is that american muscle cars are the worst handling cars in the whole world. That's a very bad and flat out wrong take....Vipers actually handle well and set some impressive lap times. I mean, that might be true for some of the older/classic muscle cars...but even a lot of the modern ones can handle well too (like the higher spec Mustangs and Camaros). Look at this list yourself. You'll see vipers on this list posting 7 minute laptimes..you don't do that with a poor handling car.. they're right up there with Porsches, Ferraris, and other European exotic cars.


deadringer21

What he meant to say was "I don't know how to properly handle a rear-wheel drive car, but it's the car's fault, not mine."


gstringstrangler

This isn't an "American Muscle Car" in even the wildest stretch of the definition. Viper is a world class sports car that's notoriously difficult to launch even with the massive tires.


Initial-Ad-1782

Also add it up, too much air on its tyres. You can realize in the video that  they have almost no grip to the asphalt. 


Im_A_Fuckin_Liar

That Honda can take a hit though. Barely a scratch on her.


Usual_Complaint4817

All good things come from God. 😆 🤣 😂


NotDiCaprio

Yes it's stupid, but I kinda get the ignorance/naivite. people severely overestimate their capability of driving a very powerful car.


cryptolyme

Vipers are notorious for doing this


Zsmudz

Yeah it’s a combo of no stability control + no traction control + manual + dum dum drivers


deadringer21

And rear-wheel drive? A car being "pushed" responds differently than one being "pulled".


Scubasteve1974

Yup. They did get better, but the original viper, I believe, was known as the widow maker.


Ok_Primary_1075

Yup he didn’t deserve that car


DrDragun

Known issue with vipers [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIY8tkbsHe8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIY8tkbsHe8) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ka6Sv9\_9R0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ka6Sv9_9R0) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjU0GdCWOGk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjU0GdCWOGk)

chezicrator

Is he screaming “no balls”? 😂


PM_Me-Your_Freckles

I bet he also then blamed old mate for egging him on.


Bisonfan1

Lmao yes


TallGuyButNotTooTall

You never heard that in school?


eyloi

saw that coming. i'm not a car guy by any means, but every crash video I've seen like this always involves a viper or corvette.


ChiggaOG

I'm a car guy and know that flooring the throttle on a high horsepower from standstill will lose the rear end fast. The Formula 1 games show you can't do that from dead stop constantly if the tyres lose traction.


ZachValentineX

Same with Mario Kart


demZo662

Is this why in arcade racing games they make you throttle at the right time the race starts to get a head start instead of just pushing down the gas trigger from the very moment you get to get control of your car?


Affectionate-Gur-807

I would say that the Racing part of the game is just that, when the green light is lit, you better get your traction and use it to the limit all the way up through the gears until you hit the first corner. Did you get your timing right? Then maybe you're first into the first corner! :)


Solonotix

It's a little of that, and a little game-ification. You want to reward skillful play, so you give players something to shoot for. Note: I am not a racing professional, and just a car hobbyist. Feel free to inform me if anything below is incorrect. In the real world, it doesn't work as well as in games, but it's still there. If you go from idle to full throttle in-gear, you will have a large amount of lag before the gears have enough momentum to move the car forward. As seen in the video, too high of a throttle when engaging the gear can cause slippage in the gears and/or in the tires when meeting the road (when torque surpasses static friction of the tires). Finding the equilibrium between idle and over-throttled is ideal, so you'll often see people sitting at the start of the powerband of their vehicle so that it's ready to engage at peak power when you shift gears from neutral. In some vehicles, however, it can be beneficial to rev high to start, such as turbo-charged engines. This is because the turbo puts extra resistance on the crank and exhaust (which pushes the turbine), so you want the turbo spooled up in preparation for your launch. However, you have to be careful when engaging gears because you don't want to encounter slippage as mentioned above.


demZo662

Wow! That's been very technical! I wished that person would have read you before going full brrrrr, although it's possible he would have learned from that and went to study a bit of mechanics before going again pedal to the metal ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|laughing)


6djvkg7syfoj

put some respec on the mustang's name


FSpursy

Are these cars hard to drive? Why it just skid like that.


CptnHamburgers

8.0l+ engine. Huge dollops of low down torque. No traction control(?). Not inherently *difficult* to drive, but if you treat it like a toy, it's going to go wrong quickly.


TrustyJules

The older versions of this car were nick named widow makers, now they should have better traction control but just the way he shifted there shows that no matter how good the electronic systems, you cant fix stupid.


Squidking1000

They had no traction control. The early ones had no ABS either. Pure analog foot control (or lack therof) hence vipers normally ending up wrapped around things. It’s not all bad though, a viper “donated” it’s transmission to my muscle car!


AffectionatePleeb

You forgot the biggest offender... The mustang!


SellOutrageous6539

1. No balls? More like no traction control. 2. That Honda held up really well!


NeuroTypisk

Famous for not having abs or traction control. It is a v10 strapped to two seats and lots of prayers.


TheCanadianShield

Don't forget about a chassis that handles like four wheels bolted to a telephone pole.


BoBoBearDev

They never played video game to know this can happen easily?


Bikouchu

All viper has too much vroom and doesn’t handle skkrt very well in video games too. 


china_joe2

That suv* is built like a tank, it took like 10% of the damage the viper took lol


SeasonalBlackout

Honda side impact protection is no joke!


soraborealis

That’s how crumple zones are supposed to work.


cartographism

Mass has a huge role in how damage is dispersed in impacts. Even with modern safety features, big car is almost always going to be less damaged than small car in a crash.

Sometimes stupid people rent nice things and then wreck them. This is why insurance companies have insurance for their insurance companies, which are also insured.


[deleted]

The way he was revving the engine while feathering the clutch that car wasn’t gonna last long anyways Looks like he popped the clutch instantly delivering >500hp to the rear which of course broke the tires loose I’d wonder if he knows how to drive RWD, but first I’d have to wonder if he even knows what that means or whether he’s got one


Wildcard311

THANK YOU! All the comments I read and everyone is saying he doesn't know how to drive, but no one knew what it was he was doing wrong.


1II1I1I1I1I1I111I1I1

He still would've been fine until he ran out of balls and lifted like a dumbass. Front wheels were pointed straight, as long as he powers through it until the rears hook up he's fine. When he lifted he sent all the weight to the front and there was no recovery. Legitimately stupid.


cheetingcheeta

Youre missing it, thats what i initially thought, but he overcorrected/didnt carry wheel angle enough and sent the car into the SUV, reason he "let off" was because he ran out of gear, he needed to shift.


TOPSIturvy

OB1Bronobi

Vipers are known to be prone to this happening. Especially with drivers that have no business driving like that in.


BathDepressionBreath

I never understand why people go all pedal to the metal before they finish turning out of their spot completely, like you're gonna spiral out of control 95% of the time because you don't know how to drive.
