TA Video From The Launch Event At Willow Springs

[Policy Limits]

One of the best reviews I've seen of the car in general.

Very well done.

[Nambo]

Calipers on my TA are a very dark grey with orange lettering. Don't think that there was any other option.

Huge fan of the TA. It looks GREAT in this video. Probably the best GEN V video Ive seen to date.

Would have liked to see at least half a lap, looking through the windshield or above the roof. Good review, I can tell you are a car fanatic serving as a journalist. Too common to find journalists pretending to be car guys (95% of Motor Trend, Car & Driver, etc...).

Thanks, 9. Wish I had more time that day to get that footage. I could have slapped my cameras on the car for another journalist's drive, but other than Erich, Ralph, Tommy and Jonathan, there wasn't anyone else I'd be comfortable with doing those laps on camera to demonstrate the car.

(You should see some of the footage I have of other journos soft-pedalling it around slow corners...)

Very nice, well done. Thanks!! Cool shots, great info, maybe a few more fly bys, a hot lap, or some drama slides would be uber cool, but really great job on this.

Thanks, wish I had the chance to really kill some rubber on this one!

Nice job! I have shared it with a bunch of people. In each case I tell them to turn the volume way up. The sounds are awesome. There is nothing that sounds quite like a Viper at speed.

Thanks for sharing! My guys really appreciate that.

Another home run! I really like the shots where you hear the TA, and after a few seconds it zips by. Great anticipation. Thanks for posting!

Thanks!

I have been trying to absorb/sponge as much info as I can before buying that exact Viper...Thank You Brian.

I am familiar with the true-yellow pit walls at Willow, so I enjoyed seeing the Orange TA drive past it. Partly-sunny shots the TA looks Orange.... overcast sky footage at the end looks yellowish. Ive not seen one in person, and want / hope it to be Navel-Orange Orange!

Orange TA Owners: Did you opt for the ORANGE calipers? Or do you have Black calipers, Orange letters as in the vid?

I hope to see one in ILL next week.......

Thanks, Jon! I wasn't able to include everything I learned in this vid, but I tried to present the important bits.

Glad to see you actually post here, Brian.

Brian, Subscribed! I thought that was an excellent video ! For me, it was as professional as it needs to be. With the advent of Youtube, I am now able to get a lot of the car guy video fix that I used to subscribe to Speedvision for; but now online, and when I want it. A big difference now is, I can get more focused videos like this that probably would have never made it to a national TV show anyway, either because it doesn't have the perceived widespread audience potential; or, because it doesn't have the uber expensive production cost and "look" that some folks in TV production expect.

Jim, good points. Really enjoyed the video as well.

Thanks, Austin. I'm obviously not an owner, but love the Viper because it's really my kind of car. I've driven countless "supercars" that have been neutered in the name of so-called safety. The Viper is not one of these cars.

Thanks, Jim! We definitely have fun with it and we're working on budgets. Your subscription helps, but it's a lot of work to build an audience and figure out how to monetize it effectively.

Thanks for watching, Mr. Smith!
