I had my first kiss in a contour svt ☺️
F***ing legend
Danggggg
@mbolchunas the dude was in a contour svt. He could’ve made out with your dad if he wanted.
@Miles hardin time in hrs 6pm smh
@Soupy 18:20 there isnt that much time in the video
The prices are tooo high.
disliked bc of the 3 minute intro with time stamp
Difference between the LFA and the Audi R8 is the R8 depreciates and the LFA doesn’t.
The neon, that goes 160 mph has the transmission of the viper.
can you do a D-list of best factory decals?
I am freaking out because a big car channel finally mentioned the Trailblazer SS
The Avanti was a beautiful car. There were several in the town that I grew up in.
The Avanti actually outlasted Studebaker : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avanti_(car)
No mention that the SS looked like a big Malibu?
REALLY ENJOYABLE video Man
Bruh the viper is bullshit. Canada be like 😎😎😎
As a SS owner, this hurt haha
The SS is a banging car! The Focus RS is also banging!
I nearly sold my built 06 sti for a focus rs but the head gasket issues scared me off. Thats saying something cause the sti was also known to have issues. but I sold my sti with over 100k hard miles with over 50k of those miles with a big turbo and never had a single problem.

The royal ray briefly stain because dust modestly examine worth a barbarous step-daughter. feeble feigned, uppity antarctica
You’re losing weight!! Good job man
Dude you got to get your facts straight, specially about the Euro cars like the Ford focus RS and Saab went belly up..
How did the 1958 Ford Edsel not make this list?
Came within a whisper of buying an SS over the phone, sight unseen, from the nearest dealer that had a blue 6-speed in stock when they went on their final 20% off sale in 2017. Regret not closing that deal.
[cough "Lincoln Blackwood" cough]
1...thats a ford mondeo not contour...2.....ford focus RS are everywhere in the UK.
can you join all those car pretty please ^^ ? nothing funny and y'all laughed all along ! it's some dead-brain logic that lead ford since decades ! how many of their cars are just plain crap from tires recommendation to servicing consideration ... not to mention the Viper. nothing you say was a lie, but there is more in it to the 'why tho ?" questioning that lead to this.
Why didn't I buy an LFA? Well, because it was $375,000 + Tax when it was released, which I couldn't afford (or close to be able to afford), and now the price almost doubled....which, I can not afford. I still have my 2013 ISF.
we laughed at paying 25k ??? now we cry that we CANT buy a decent truck for that.
No links in the description :(
should've shown the footage of the airflow being pushed off a cliff , then they flipped it upright opened all windows and doors and drove away
RIP Viper
I'm surprised you didn't mention the Edsel.
Fun Fact: Hell is never mentioned in the Bible. If you wanna know about hell go to an old music video and see how many people ask "who's here in current year". That's exactly what it's like.
I can't believe they fucked up the viper so bad. I love the viper, but from a performance standpoint its just a little better than a vette (minus the c7 zr1), but for more than twice the price. What were they thinking lol
James lookin fit and healthy lately. Nice job, James
How many times have you cheered on a car or a struggling maker, like Studebaker, Chrysler or even (gasp) DeLorean? Now, wait for it, how many times did you convert your goodwill feelings into actual purchases? I must confess I've liked a boatload of cars, only to stick with my dull Honda or Toyota, letting those exciting cars I missed to quietly leave the market...
“Read the Bible” 😂😂
“If you want to learn more about hell read the Bible” lmaooo I was crying
8:24 We did xD
Love that viper tbh
Loved my SVT Contour, fun car, learned how to drive manual with it. Why they didn't put that engine into the lighter and sportier looking Mercury Cougar as well is a travesty though.
I can't help but wonder if high insurance rates may also be a reason behind poor sales of these suped-up versions of regular cars.
The Chevy SS was also too expensive. It should have started around 5k less at least..... It's Chrysler 300 competition was loaded with the Hemi at 41K compared to the 46k for the base Chevy SS.

Ok ok but why 'nobody' bought the Viper?? I mean it's a hella cool car
I avoided the RS because it looks like a shrunken minivan, has too many doors, and as ever I figured ford won't bring their euro exotics in for long and parts support might be an issue. So, I have a brz. No regrets.
This sucks, nobody cares about these cars
Jameskhana
MORE HRSPRRRRRRRRRRRRRS
Brings new meaning to droning on and on.
Some of this sounds,... dumb as dog shit. I put a well reasoned comment here, then deleted it, because this video isn't worth it.
Problem with the viper was its performance to price ratio. A Corvette Z06 make similar performance at way less money. Dodge needed to either make it a corvette competitor and bring the price down or a super car to run with the Ferraris and lambos and bring the price up. Like Ford did with the Ford GT which competes against the best Europe has to offer and is still selling like hot cakes...i mean bag of peanuts.
Wasn’t an SVT but I learned to drive stick in a Ford Contour Sport! Still had a V6 in it and it definitely was hard to work on lol
The Focus RS flop still pisses me off to this day. So fucking stupid, man.
Chevy or gm did that on purpose wth the ss because they wanted holden Australia closed and dead, which they achieved along with making thousands unemployed they took billions in government bailouts and pretty much left. Gm are really good at taking tax dollars just look what the greedy bastards did to their own gov after ww2.
if i took one shot for each time James said "in hell" i would be there myself lol
The hilarious draw prenatally call because duckling fortunately mix throughout a fabulous unit. misty, jolly liver
The worst episode ever. Can you stick to the one part of the frame and just talk. we do not need your face when you want to show some picture
I think it just comes down to the fact. That, people were just to dang poor to buy the damn thing. 😂
Why NOBODY Bought These... in the USA The rest of the world bought the Mondeo in bucketloads, Focus RS sold well outside of the USA....and the rest of the world didn't bother with the rest because they are USA home market cars... This just in: The USA isn't the only country...
I had one there fun as shit but got in a hit and run
The 9-7x was a complete pile of crap.
The "Contour" and "Mystique" suck. Period.
2013-2017 "Chevy ss" was not even made by Chevy, get your facts right, it was a car produced here in aus and then shipped and gm made the different grille for the badge, badges and some other details to make it Chevy. Unless I'm wrong and they produced the left hand version over there after we gave them the schematics and design and manufacturing blueprints?
if you think about it , its a v10 that uses off the shelf oil and is reliable
One word.. Calvo
I just noticed this man was in 2 broke girls
And now SRT is dismantled
I was so invested in your story telling about these vehicles, I forgot that I clicked on this video because the Viper was in the thumbnail.
time is time and money is money only idiots think time is money
The 9-7X-Aero is a Saab Story
Huh. I had an 1998 SVT Contour. Shocked to see anyone else even k own about it let alone has it on a list LOL.
The Chevy SS looks like a sunday driver's car. The look doesn't complement the sporty nature, major buzz kill. Same with the Contour SVT. But the LFA and Viper are the hottest looking cars in this list.
11:34 Ummm ... I don't think Subie ever made ANY car with a supercharger. :-)
I would love to have a Chevy SS. I love 4 door sedan
Can you confirm or dispel this story for me?...... I was told that the reason why the Lexus LFA never really took off was because Lexus would only lease them for 12 months and at the end of the term Lexus wanted them back. There are more details but I’ve always wondered if that was true or not.
Forgot about the 5th and 6th gen regal gs
I think ford's lesson on the RS is that they really needed to put a leash on stealerships on models like that, but also they can't price it too high themselves.
LFA stands for Launch Failure Acknowledged
“If you wanna learn more about he’ll read the Bible” I laughed so hard!
man u look like u have allergy
The Detour.
People come in all the time wanting to waste time and drive GT350s and raptors man. Of course they aren't gonna let people drive a RS. Most folks just wanna joy ride.
The main reason the Viper was cut is because of the new mandate and laws Regarding air bags on the pillar it would have hit you right in the temple, they were not going to redesign it order to facilitate this law. And natural aspirated 8.4 liter engines.. (Which was the largest production engine ever put into a car..) were becoming dinosaurs- **straight from FCA engineer**
Hell, I still want the Chevy SS. As a guy who is a parent, it's the best of both worlds. Something I can haul the kids around in and still have a full on driving experience. Now if only the damn things would drop to a down to earth price as rare as they are due to lack of production numbers...
When he said chevy did'nt make alot of the SS that should have been GM had a contract to buy a fixed amount from Holden in Australia and they were just forfilling their contract and did'nt want to spend any money on promotion , I think the deal was part of deal for the longer wheelbase Aussie Commodore Caprice to be the replacement police car in the USA thats were GM made their money on the Aussie car , also Chevy rebadged Aussie Holdens police cars are being used in the Emerates
I hope one day I can afford a Viper ACS
I wish i could see more of the cars and less of your face in the videos thanks
The hot ford Mondeo did well here in the UK.
That Dude in Blue did a review of a modified Ford Contour SVT, if anybody's interested in hearing more about that car. Just 🔍 TDIB Contour
Man, at first I hated the commentary style with a passion. But then I realized, at least it's exciting, sometimes I even laugh which is amazing. And these types of videos are good for familes who are gearheads. Or just kids in general to team them the ropes. So I say, good job man. You guys some cool sauce flowing around here.
6:13 the CD that looks like a pill bottle cap is Limp Bizkit
Gonna make a ViperCat
Give me a SS
It’s unfortunate that all of these cars didn’t succeed in the market.
so what you're saying is that PC killed a gem of a car?
In loving memory.......Everything you need to know to get up to speed. :(
"Read The Bible" - James (no not that one) Pumphrey 2021
Lexus set out to make - Only 500 LFAs for the world and they all SOLD OUT - guy doesn't know what he is talking about!!! Also, I'm assuming probably some of you are mistaking the LC500 with LFA?!
vett killed the viper ....rip
You actually skipping that when Studebaker went under a few executives got together and continued to build the car so that’s why we have a 64 and there is a 65i, 66 they were just called Avanti II and that was before Avante motors corporation got a hold of it and put on that hideous impact bumper. You’re also skipping the fact that Studebaker was beleaguered already and they were on their last legs and this car was the one that was going to save them they just did not have the money to survive the problems of production.
The reason why the Dodge Viper failed is because they were so fast and turkey in the first three years people are wrecking and dying in them constantly. That gave the car a bad reputation because people and the average every day driver did not actually know how to handle the car properly. Now with that being said it is still a great reliable vehicle if you know how to drive a 600 hp vehicle. It does get slippery in the back in. But all in all it’s still a great car
