No, it's not the yellow Viper. Unfortunately.

While Penzoil's own video, The Last Viper from Pennzoil is one of the most amazing high-performance car videos online, it's The Final Fit that takes it to the next level.

We can see where The Final Fit got its inspiration from.

The Last Viper from Pennzoil, Pennzoil's high-speed take on exposing their brand, highlights a Dodge Viper being torn through Miami by a faceless driver (Rhys Millen) after being reclaimed from thieves. Featuring amazing driving, cinematography, and sound design, The Last Viper from Pennzoil is a fitting farewell to the 8.4-litre V10 Dodge supercar.

The Final Fit parody, however, does not feature the same level of production quality, obviously. But that's the point.

Featuring an ordinary CVT Honda Jazz and a less-than-ordinary driver, The Final Fit" is one of the best home-grown fan videos ever.

*Dun-de-dun-de-dun!*

Spawned in Alabama for Youtube by WarTorn Productions, the parody is a hilarious take on the cash-injected sequences audiences often see from large production companies. 

Sure it mightn't have the same "quality", per se, as the official Pennzoil video - such as how all the manual shifting shots (in an auto car?) are done with a completely separate 370Z gearbox and that the tacho sequences have been done when the car's in neutral - but it's still such a great video to sit back, relax, and laugh at.

What do you think of the two high-speed videos? Which one do you think was better? Tell us what you think in the comments below.

James Lisle (aka J3) likes all things cars. Cynical and enthusiastic in equal measure, James loves to clamber into anything with a steering wheel and a decent amount of grunt. Although it may seem the J3 glass is half empty on first acquaintance with a new ride, he maintains a balanced approach and will happily lose himself in technical details relating to even the most common, mass market models. Bore and stroke ratios, specific output stats, and thermal efficiency figures are his guilty pleasures.
