Ford GT vs Dodge Viper: DRAG RACE

Modification your vehicle with :

Thanks to @PetersenMuseum for organising this race!

It's time for another all-American showdown!

We've got our hands on a , and it's facing off against a 1992 initial Viper! The question is, which of these all-American legends will cross the finish line first?

Well for starters, let's have a look at the statistics. Mat's lining up in the , and it's powered by a 5.4-litre supercharged V8. This can deliver 560hp & 680Nm of torque, and power is sent out to the rear wheels just by means of a 6-speed handbook gearbox. It's the heaviest and truck here, mind, tipping the scales at 1,580 kg.

Next up we have the Viper. It's a pre-production design of the very first generation Viper, but it's still loading an 8-litre naturally-aspirated V10 that can put down 400hp and 630Nm! This power is sent to the rear wheels only via a 6-speed manual, and it's likewise a fair bit lighter than the GT, weighing in at 1,490 kg.

So the is up on power, however the Viper has the weight advantage! But will the GT's extra power prove definitive? There's just one way to find out … LET'S RACE!

      I think it sounds like a worse version of the r8 or Huracan as it doesn’t rev high

    I’m surprised how well the Viper did vs a newer car with much more power. A classic

      The roll was done in way too high of a gear for the Ford GT. It has extremely long gears and goes 67 mph in 1st gear. 136 mph in 3rd gear vs the Vipers 114 mph.

      Always thought the ’06 GT was absolutely timeless, Sure it’s based on a 60s design, but the tweaks help give it its own identity.

      The GT does have ABS but it also doesn’t have stability or traction control. Not a huge difference there

    I always remember when the Viper first came out…along with it’s Ram stable mate also sporting the 8L V10…like Clarkson once said, you measure that engine in acres. It did well in this race, fair play to a 90s icon!

    Watching the Dodge Viper hold its own against newer, more powerful cars is like a trip down memory lane – it’s not just a car, it’s a piece of automotive history with a roar that tells its own story! πŸš—πŸ’¨ And Luna’s commentary? Absolutely spot-on. She brings a whole new level of excitement and insight to the race. It’s like she’s not just watching the race, but feeling every turn and rev with us. Who else thinks Luna should be a regular on these shows? Also, what are your thoughts on classic vs. modern supercars in terms of raw driving experience?
