V10 Dodge Viper v V8 Challenger: DRAG RACE

Modification your cars and truck with :

It's time for an all-American face-off!

We've got our hands on the Mk2 , and it's going up against a ! The question is, will it be a walkover for the more recent ? Let's take a closer look …

Beginning with the Viper, it's powered by an 8-litre naturally-aspirated V10 that can provide 456hp and 664Nm of torque. This power is sent out to the rear wheels just by means of a 6-speed handbook transmission, and the cars and truck weighs in at just 1,595 kg. When new in 1998 it cost around ₤ 69,000, but as of today it's valued at around ₤ 78,000.

Together with it we have the RT Scatpack. It's powered by a 6.4-litre V8 that can produce 492hp and 644Nm. This power is sent to the rear wheels via an 8-speed car, and it tips the scales at 1,957 kg. As new it costs around $49,000, but if you're aiming to select one up in the UK, it'll set you back around ₤ 65,000!

So the Opposition is more recent and more powerful, however will the weight distinction prove decisive? There's only one method to discover for sure … LET'S RACE!

      Shelby is the true legendary period not the Viper. Newer Gt500 would beat this Viper. Not downing the Viper just speaking facts. Viper was born by Shelby. All and every Shelby vehicles are legendary. That is the 1 that is legendary the Shelby Viper not the regular Viper. All I am saying.

    We used to use those Viper GTS’s in the Skip Barber racing school. Fantastic speed in a car that wasn’t at all forgiving. The viper is one of those cars you just knew would swap ends, at least once, before the end of your lapping session.

    I’m 100% sure the Viper isn’t as easy to handle as Adam makes it look. So big props to him. And it has the only real color combination that should be allowed in this car, blue and white stripes.

      I totally agree. This video makes me like the Viper a lot more than I’ve done before. Also, it’s easier for me to see how people can pay a lot of money for the Viper compared to how people are paying a lot for some brand new cars that seems a lot more boring and stupid.

    Well, we can confirm that the Gran Turismo video game wasn’t exaggerating the Viper’s actual power. It dominated in-game, and can still, and impressively at that, dominate in real life. What a legendarily gorgeous car.
