Sorry, not buying it. The viper needed 700hp minimum (it likely had 750hp) to keep up with a car weighing 1000kg and 460hp. The way the viper moved on the Mustang, it also backs it up. The Mustang should have been slower than the Viper being 213kg heavier, but not drastically slower.

More like father vs son. The Cobra Daytona Coupe was the clear inspiration for the Viper. All the DNA is there on display. Just not quite so much in the production roadster.
Viper was my dream car when they came out, too. Then, a couple of years later, someone rolled past me in a Shelby Cobra, and I was instantly enthralled. We didn't have internet back then, so it would take me a decade to figure out what it was that I saw that day. 😂
@@VarunTomee-kr6nfyes it’s a race but the sound of those engines is what brings the drama!! In the end the times were not that impressive but the sound of those engines was everything!
I'll give him his due - did well. Most of his races are in cars with simple launch control - no skill required. This one definitely needed skill and bravery! Especially when it started raining! My own 4.6 V8 kit car is scary in the wet!
I'm not the biggest fan of American muscle, but man, that Viper really looks so good! This and the Stingray C3 are the most beautiful American muscle ever made, IMO.
American Muscle is really something you need to experience to appreciate it. I like all types of cars, but something about muscle cars from the 60's - Early 70's is truly unmatched. You get into that old school interior with chrome bezels everywhere, fake wood trim and leather seats. Fire it up and hear that V8 rumble, the whole car having a slight vibration to it, it's all an experience! If you ever get the chance to just drive one do it, you'll see why some people love it. And if you want modern reliability, connectivity, etc. the modern Mustangs, Challengers, Chargers and Camaros are pretty damn sweet! And with the modern powertrains they're a treat to drive!
Not to be that guy but all 3 of those cars plus Vette are borderline muscle cars… its only 1 true muscle car left well not anymore and that was the Dodge Challenger… Mustangs, Camaros, Vipers, Vettes are all more so track focused nowadays
The Viper is legendary. This SRII GTS Viper that came out in 1996 could dip into the 11's with the right tires and driver on a good 1/4 track. Back in 1996 the Viper GTS did low 12's @ 117mph in various magazine testing.
@@electrikoptikThe trap speed is what seems so insane, I think some mags even got like 119/120 mph trap speed for the old GTS. That’s faster than most fast cars today lol. And manual too, with a DCT or something they’d be even faster.
Oh my God, this was so beautiful I nearly cried. Please do more cars like this. Not a single car with softlimiter, but what they do have is GLORIOUS exhaust noises and some mechanical fun. Just look at the face of Mat. Smiling all the way while rowing through gears 😀 You don't get that kind of fun in electric and automatic cars with crazy horsepowers.
I have a ‘22 manual mustang gt. That exhaust when you press the start button in the morning never gets old. As someone once said, “ when you’re bored with the radio, roll down the windows and you’ll still be entertained.” Loved the video.
@@samblundell1872 tell me a car that makes the same power and weight that's faster. There's no bmws or Porsches that do 6 second quarter miles but there 5.0 mustangs that do.
Awesome race! The Viper did better than I expected keeping up with the Cobra at "lower" speeds! It also did way better than I expected from the 3rd gear roll, considering it could have started in first gear at 50mph.
THIS is my kinda drag race. The Cobra is my absolute dream car, the first time I rode in one, I cried tears of joy. It is truly the most visceral, amazing car I've ever experienced and I'll never forget it.
And here in the states they're significantly cheaper. You could build a factory 5 version like the one tested here for about 60k. If you've got an old 302 or 289 and transmission or a cheap donor car it's possible to do it for 40k.
yes but not good on a road trip so not my cup of tea. a bmw late 80`s 6 series especially if restomod. that year was right up there imo of most beautiful
You can tell that Matt is a car guy because of the smile on his face when rowing gears in that cobra. No modern car will give you that same sense of speed and excitement. Great video!
A Gen 2 Viper has been my dream car since I was 12 and played GT1 on PS1. I’ve owned a 2000 ACR for the past few years and absolutely love it. I see the Viper as an American TVR, a bit crude but striking to look at and a blast to drive.
@@ramadhanisme7No it doesn't. The speed 12 was bespoke chassis Harrys Metcaffe done few vids on TVR. Im not sure what the fake ones are other than a junk v12 BMW engine. The real speed 12 was a bespoke carbon composite backboned chassis and basically two of the APJ-6 engines on one crank. Litteraly nothing like America have ever used in ANY car.

Best RAW RACE ever. Loved it. I'm so pumped. I was cheering for the viper. My childhood love. And yeah racing driver Sam would've stopped these non-abs monsters smoothly. He stops the vehicle with the help of downshifting.
Yeah. There are a couple of 90s cars that still look very modern, like they could be a brand new car and the 2nd Gen Viper is one of them. Still one of my favorite cars of all time. Plus it has one of the greatest names ever. Viper.
This Viper looks like trash. Out of all the super cars, The Dodge Viper is the ugliest. Go look at a Ford GT90, it looks like it was made in 2035. , the flyest of a super car you will see
@@BruceDragon-sf1tr No it does not. The GT90 looks like your typical 80s and 90s prototype cars. It is not good looking. The Viper is one of the best looking cars ever made. The GT90 is hideous.
The vibrations on the windshield cam on the cobra @8:29 are next level. So this is what all CGI movie effects are trying to look like. The sensation of speed is awesome. Can't imagine what is to actually race the car. Awesome race and soundtrack.
The Coyote's reputation is on full display here. As shown, it's an absolute unit of an engine whether it's tucked inside a mustang or a $200k build. It showcased a very candid equivalency of what is wearing a heavy backpack vs a custom tailored suit.
At the risk of sounding like a hater, those drag times were really poor. A coyote equipped cobra replica should go low to mid 11’s. That mustang should have a low 12 in it, and the viper wasn’t way off, but should be capable of 12.3-12.4
The mustang was handicapped badly considering the right hand drive version has less horsepower than the left hand version and if you don’t believe me search it up on Google. Not that a couple of horsepower was gonna make a difference but the mustangs that are doing 12 seconds are the ones with the 10 speeds with the performance package this one looks like a standard GT. Also it looks like it’s a second gen S550 which has 435 hp and 400 lb ft of torque but again the uk version is rated lower due to the accommodations for right hand drive and stricter emissions. The Viper and cobra could have gotten better times with drivers who have experience with them. So yeah I agree but at the same time the results would have been the same except slightly quicker
he was actually embarrassing to me. He was sleeping at the line both times or would have been right there with the Cobra, and then he locked the fronts bad and didn't even try to threshold brake. Just mashed them down with no ABS in the wet and let it slide.
@@TowDawg11I’m sure if Adam made videos for a living doing drag starts his reactions would have been a little better. I’m sure he didn’t set out to embarrass you on purpose 😂
That cobra 😍😍😍 Just proves speed isn't everything. That's the biggest smile I've ever seen Matt have on here. Reminds me of my triumph bobber it ain't the fastest motorbike but the way it looks an sounds just does it for me..Great video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
These new Cobras are AWESOME! Perfect weekend city cars. Probably a lot of fun for spirited drive on twisty roads, BUT I actually value being alive, so I wouldn't do that. 😅
This race seemed really exciting for some reason 😂 maybe because of the cobra being so small and with its no top, the camera effects were amazing! Well done yall!
I wish we could see the Viper with Sam at the wheel and see if his fancy footwork makes any difference in the results. I’m a life long viper fan though and seeing that the pinnacle of viper design, the old GTS, still has legs vs modern cars is awesome. Nothing against Adam though. He did a great job.
@@Kahless00 of course, but you accomplish that by dialing in the throttle precisely throughout the launch. That’s what I meant by fancy footwork is just precise control of the throttle/clutch. Sorry if I didn’t clarify that.

We need more of these kinds of races. This is definitely one of my favorites so far
Am CarWow and you are watching Mat Watson.. all American muscle... Very nice... All the way from. Nairobi Kenya
Hey there neighbor! Watching Carwow from Kitwe, Zambia! 😊
This race seemed really exciting for some reason 😂 maybe because of the cobra being so small and with its no top, the camera effects were amazing! Well done yall!
This has to be the most exciting race you’ve posted in a long time and ooh my days! Mat's reaction is priceless!😂
I wish we could see the Viper with Sam at the wheel and see if his fancy footwork makes any difference in the results. I’m a life long viper fan though and seeing that the pinnacle of viper design, the old GTS, still has legs vs modern cars is awesome. Nothing against Adam though. He did a great job.
It's less about footwork and more about launching it without it bogging.
@@Kahless00 of course, but you accomplish that by dialing in the throttle precisely throughout the launch. That’s what I meant by fancy footwork is just precise control of the throttle/clutch. Sorry if I didn’t clarify that.
"Doesn’t sound as good as a Tesla" 🔥🔥🔥 3:00
Absolutely one of the best sounding drag races on this channel ever
To this day whenever i see a Viper (maybe 1 or 2 a year) it turns my head and i stare. Those cars just look so good.
@@zachlafond2652 I own a Gen 2 Viper ACR and I still stop and stare at it every time I enter my garage. Timeless design.
2:18 ADAM!!
This is the coolest drag race I have seen in this channel. And there has been awesome ones. But this is just so good
No way AdamC is here. I wished for this a couple of years ago and here it has come true haha
Adam seems like a great dude, would be chuffed to see him back.
His content over on his channel is really good, worth a watch!
That viper still to this day looks absolutely stunning🙏 the iconic grand turismo 3 car. Especially in this blue spec, it looks beautiful.
