V10 BMW M5 v V10 Dodge Viper: DRAG RACE

Does a BMW E60 M5 have what it takes to bring down an almighty Dodge Viper Mk4 ACR?

Explore brand-new and used vehicle handle Carwow:

Who's all set for a V10 face-off?!

We have actually got Mat in the Mk4 Viper ACR, and he's going head-to-head versus Nick in the E60 M5!

Nevertheless, the Viper has a trick up its sleeve – it's had a minor tune used to it! However will it make much of a distinction? Let's check out the stats …

Starting with the Dodge, it's powered by an 8.4-litre naturally aspirated V10 that normally produces 608hp and 760Nm. Nevertheless, following the tune, it now produces 650hp and 800Nm! This power is sent to the rear wheels only via a 6-speed handbook, and it suggestions the scales at 1,533 kg. All-in, the automobile is worth around ₤ 130,000.

Then we concern the BMW. Unlike the Viper, it's had no mods added to it, which suggests its 5-litre V10 produces 507hp and 520Nm, with this power being sent to the rear wheels only by means of a 7-speed auto gearbox. It's also the heavier cars and truck of the 2, weighing in at 1,755 kg.

So the BMW is heavier, and it has less power – so does it actually stand a chance?! There's only one way to learn for sure … LET'S RACE!

    M5 putting up that kind of fight with 143hp less and 255kg more deserves some respect! 💪

      Ok, but the Viper is manual with a massive rear wing?

      The M5 was demolished, and that’s on a channel where they love to see the American car lose.

      What fight are you referring to, really? American cars’ power is viciously overstated, and the reverse is the case for germans. So what fight?

      ​@łukasz1385You are a clown, dude!
      The S85 maintenance isn’t needed after such early 30.000 kilometers!
      Where did you get this stupid “information”??

      80.000 kilometers are totally safe!
      Rod bearing maintenance after every 80.000 kilometers and the S85 is fine. Period!

    it doesnt matter that the viper has more bhp and less weight and MORE torque, the M5 will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart

      S85 junk is one of the worst engines ever created

    2. @AlexK2967 Avatar
      @AlexK2967

      Cope. The Viper also had a massive rear wing and manual gearbox. Still demolished the M5, and that’s on a channel who are biased against the American cars. S85 will eat itself alive, too.

      At one stage the m5 was going 15mph faster and at the end it was going 20mph slower…
      How is that keeping up? Are people watching the same race…
      These cars are not remotely similar in performance and it was a silly match up. In the only race it was close you will hear Mat shift really early which I expect was done on purpose.
      I think before hand they thought the gearbox on the M5 would cancel out the weight and hp difference. It didn’t and it was a miss match. I love the M5 but the comments are delusional

      it’s been the new YouTube meta for a while now.. they do it because youre more likely to click on a Video with a bright colorful Thumbnail.
      It also happens on other Channels where people Change the color of peoples clothes etc.

    4. @AlexK2967 Avatar
      @AlexK2967

      ​@seanmcgaharan8081because some engines are designed for low stress rather than being highly strung and then break, like the BMW.

      The old GT500 has a 5.2 litre engine and 760bhp from the factory.. how does that fit into your narrative?

    Fun race, two awesome cars! For what it’s worth, Car and Driver tested a 2008 Viper at 11.6 seconds in the quarter mile, bone stock, back in the day so this one was a little off the pace.
