I've yet to find a video that truly captures how great those turbos sound from inside the car. It really was something else and the acceleration was violent.
For those that want to see an F40 driven properly relatively recently, check out Chris Harris driving an F40 and F50 back to back at Anglesey. That was something else.

Unbelievable for sure, as the best result for the original Viper was 12.6 seconds at 112 mph and similar tests of the time had it at best around high 12s and low 13s. This car beating a Ferrari F40 is highly unlikely when Road and Track trapped it in 11.7 seconds at 126 mph. These two are leagues apart even with a bad launch Also the fact that it hardly pulled past the Viper. The F40 is a car that was faster in a straight than its successor and the XJ220, only beaten by the McLaren F1 at high speeds. Either they jumped the start when recording, or the Viper is modified.
Yeah agreed regarding launch since these are rare cars do not want to destroy them.. but Even more impressive i really thought that Viper with V10 will destroy it but F40 kept closer
Even w all the Bugatti's advantages, you just can't beat the look of the F40. It's simple yet elegant, but brutal. A pure driving experience. Pretty close to Formula for the street.
I literally came here to comment that “Enzo Ferrari will be rolling in his grave with people like this having a purpose built sports car and drive it like pussy”. That EB110 had those issues cause the car doesn’t get used, a car is a machine and machinery will leave on with proper usage and maintenance, its not designed to just sit there
Nah I'm sorry, Matt was giving it some but our friend in the F40 🥱 either babying it way too much or purposely driving slower to make it look close, guy was short shifting at around 6000rpm when, redline is 7750 with max power at 7000, I get it, it's an expensive car but if your not gona run it properly leave it sat in storage and run something else. Have a lot of fun watching carwow drag races but not this one unfortunately
I believe the F40 had a lot more to give, but I think it was misfiring and the driver short shifted when it started to misfire. You can see what I mean twice in the roll race. Nevertheless, it was really cool to see these cars racing 👌🏼
Yeah sadly these old girls are at risk of misbehaving a bit, and are not cheap to fix. They deserve to be looked after and treated gently. Shame, but back in the day you could have ringed the neck of an F40 with no worries. I would still have the F40 anyway.
Gotta see the Diablo sv and the f40 race someday. This race was crazy I never thought I’d see the day theses car would ever race.@carwow you are the goat for setting up impossible races
It was pretty evenly matched with the Viper but the latter came to 1/3rd of the price so how was it any more "special"? If anything, they did a very poor job if it can't even beat a Dodge, not that the Viper is a slouch or anything.
@@stefan_c.76who did a poor job, Ferrari or the driver here? This guy was clearly babying it. He wasn’t pushing that car at all. He was very easy off the line and was short shifting. You can’t judge anything at all from this video about the F40’s performance. Luckily there are other video’s where they do drive it hard.
I have seen many of Matt Watson's drag races , but that was a blast from the past !! What a cool drag race !! That F-40 has aged so well, still a sweet ride !!
The coolest thing is that both cars come from the work of the passionate eng. Mr. Nicola Materazzi. He was the father of the F40 and after that worked on the Bugatt EB110 as well. What cars!
Matt, this was a great matchup. Maybe on better tires the Viper might have done better but it still managed to be neck and neck with the F40. Great show. Thanks.
When the F40 turbos kick in it becomes a rocket. It's one of the reasons why it's so hard to drive, it's difficult to predict when the turbos power kick in, and so a lot of unexperienced drivers get hurt.
To OP. If you can find *an actual Venom GT* Somehow the Koenigsegg owners are driving theirs all over the world and show what they're capable of... While the same can't be said of the "owners" of that other car. How many were actually sold and how many are driven in their "record" spec??

Just looking at how the car launched, he lucked out getting a viper with new tires on it. Too many times exotic car owners keep aging tires just because there is still tread on it. He definitely knew where the shift points were.
Great to see an F40 actually driving for once. Seen plenty static. Just to hear it running is great. It was treated with a lot of restraint - entirely understandable for motoring masterpiece (and value 😊)

Wow. Get that EB fixed up and bring it back! Awesome video. Nothing really beats a 90s super car race. I wish a modern video game take of period 90s super cars would make a return, would be epic. Need For Speed 2 vibes all the way.
This video is the perfect evidence of why the Viper received so much attention and praise, when it was first introduced. Can you imagine all this performance power, back in 1992?? Those 1st generation Vipers can still stand toe-to-toe with a lot of modern day sports cars. They're amazing machines.

Great to see these awesome cars moving. Shame that no one felt brave enough to actually send it though, except maybe Mat in the Viper. I'm sure the F40 would have loved to get nearer to the redline a few times.
IDK, the dude driving it was the owner. Based on what I saw, he doesn't take it out too often. Repairing the F40 could easily cost more than the full price of the Viper. I was thinking this about the EB110. Maybe even worse than the F40 since it has less of a following.
@@darrellm4794 Yeah, I hear you. The car is literally a museum piece so the reticence to drive it hard is understandable. Still would have liked to see it though.
The F40 is the quickest of 3. A little bit more than 21,7 sec on 1000 meters. As quick as bikes back in 90's. The MCLaren F1 was the very first car to do a 1000 meters below 20 sec ...19,7 sec if I remember right.
As kid i was so much charmed to the F40,... what a car!! The broad & flat tail 0:10 , the flat front with the deep headlight position, and this gorgeous, compact side profile 9:51 ... I still lovin it!
Matt has skills for sure! Launching a Viper that has no traction control is really sketchy business. Just like braking that hard without ABS to rescue you. Impressive!

Oh completely. You could tell he was babying it from the beginning of the video when he didn’t even rev it fully.
He is - when you look at the cockpit shots, he is shifting at 5500rpm.
It's a 2 million dollars car.. I would be afraid to drive it aggressively too
Keeping history alive, thanks Mat & the carwow team.
The f40 looked like it was taking it easy off the line when racing the Dodge Viper
The EB110 is classy! The F40 is Love! ❤ The Viper was damn impressive!
Great Job Carwow!
Viper was driven properly.
The old Dodge with the truck block is still my favorite childhood dream car. But that F40 is so beautiful and the sounds it makes when shifting 🤤. Great races
Broke my heart when the EB110 had to retire. Love that car.
Keep up the great work and keep ‘em coming!
Amazing vid 🔥🔥❤️
Wow. Get that EB fixed up and bring it back! Awesome video. Nothing really beats a 90s super car race. I wish a modern video game take of period 90s super cars would make a return, would be epic. Need For Speed 2 vibes all the way.
One of the most expensive and rare races maybe.Mat showing Levels 🔥🔥🔥🔥, respect for the cars and who lent them
Bro managed to use a time mechine real quick 😂😂
I love these classic drag races, you guys and TFL Classics. I'd love to see a 90s ZR-1 drag, and maybe a Diablo, or Countache too.
They should put the zr1 against these
Thats cool. What about Corvette C2 Coupe vs Viper GTS 06 vs Lancer Evo X Engine Swap?
This video is the perfect evidence of why the Viper received so much attention and praise, when it was first introduced. Can you imagine all this performance power, back in 1992??
Those 1st generation Vipers can still stand toe-to-toe with a lot of modern day sports cars. They're amazing machines.
It was/is a murderous psychopath and man oh man, do I want one!! 😅
At least on a straight line. Anyway a legendary cool vehicle
WRONG!

Sure
Please more of these 90's supercars❤

At 0:11
"Do i only heard" 😂
Mat truly does the craziest races, I mean who would've thought of such a race it's unbelievable ❤
Great to see these awesome cars moving. Shame that no one felt brave enough to actually send it though, except maybe Mat in the Viper. I'm sure the F40 would have loved to get nearer to the redline a few times.
IDK, the dude driving it was the owner. Based on what I saw, he doesn't take it out too often. Repairing the F40 could easily cost more than the full price of the Viper. I was thinking this about the EB110. Maybe even worse than the F40 since it has less of a following.
@@darrellm4794 Yeah, I hear you. The car is literally a museum piece so the reticence to drive it hard is understandable. Still would have liked to see it though.
@@darrellm4794Another "investment" owner rather than a real car enthusiast sadly.
@@gazman9468nobody drives an F40 like crazy its an ancient piece of art at this point
@@jamied931Chris Harris does
the blow off valve noise from he F40 Is just Insane! man what a timeless car
Yeah first time I've heard an original going through the gears
I clicked for the F40 and the EB110, but was really surprised to see my dream car, the first gen Viper
Hey Matt, you should also add the power to weight ratio in the stats just so we can see how close the cars are
What about adding close gear ratio on those cars man?
The F40 is the quickest of 3. A little bit more than 21,7 sec on 1000 meters. As quick as bikes back in 90's. The MCLaren F1 was the very first car to do a 1000 meters below 20 sec ...19,7 sec if I remember right.
I would Like to see more drag races like this with old cars . Keep it going!
Matt is a fricking legend for getting these cars to drag race each other
Mat is nothing of the sort. You need to credit Carwow's team for that.
That launch with the viper was fucking insane
Drag races keep getting crazier, well done Mat
Carwow never disappoints ❤❤
I remember the F40 looking so amazing back in the day. it still looks great now when some of it's competitors are looking dated. Lovely car.
This guy know he broke the Bugatti and continued racing what a legend 😂
Can't get enough of the F40! But the Viper put up a good fight!
Staged.
EB110 and F40 are my two favourite non Lamborghini exotics, so this was awesome. That Viper was impressive!
That roll race with the viper is def not the fastest but the most fun, intense, and interesting one we’ve seen for a long time
two of the coolest cars of all time. Timeless classic designs! Legends of their day! They don't make supercars like these anymore!
As kid i was so much charmed to the F40,... what a car!!
The broad & flat tail 0:10 , the flat front with the deep headlight position, and this gorgeous, compact side profile 9:51 ... I still lovin it!
Great video! Chris was truly a ray of sunshine 😁
Matt has skills for sure! Launching a Viper that has no traction control is really sketchy business. Just like braking that hard without ABS to rescue you. Impressive!
Thank you Mat , we really enjoyed your work
Idk if Mat didn't know or is legit insane to drive that viper lmao that thing was a deathtrap! Great races!
Would love to see a drag race with the Vector W8 Twin Turbo they also have on display at the Peterson Museum..
This man always does the most legendary drag races!
Give that Ferrari to someone who can actually drive without fear
Rare lineup! Awesome work Matt. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
