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.

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.

[@darrellm4794]

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.

[@gonzomuse]

@@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.

Hey Matt, you should also add the power to weight ratio in the stats just so we can see how close the cars are

[@purwantiallan5089]

What about adding close gear ratio on those cars man?

[@asiat30]

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.

[@danielleon8901]

Im so glad this video was created. Thank you !

[@famyemil]

Broke my heart when the EB110 had to retire. Love that car. Keep up the great work and keep ‘em coming!

[@dramen]

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.

[@FlynnBellamyCars]

Keeping history alive, thanks Mat & the carwow team.

[@acbc626]

Matt running museum pieces like they just came out the dealer. Love this historic drag races!

[@humblebumble2765]

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!

[@lambo2807]

Please more of these 90's supercars❤

[@draconaeterus2024]

Who care which comes out first. This is poetry in motion. I would watch this on loop...

[@Dntdgxj]

These are absolutely legendary cars. Nice to see them rolling and not catching dust in museums. Good work Matt!

[@Just4fun2288]

Matt is a fricking legend for getting these cars to drag race each other

[@AB-80-X]

Mat is nothing of the sort. You need to credit Carwow's team for that.

[@thebagnechannel3183]

12.2 in the old Viper is booking, especially back then. 13.8 for the Ferrari is pretty weak, but the driver appears to be babying it.

[@justateenageboy]

Oh completely. You could tell he was babying it from the beginning of the video when he didn’t even rev it fully.

[@Donbernie]

He is - when you look at the cockpit shots, he is shifting at 5500rpm.

[@milesromanus7041]

It's a 2 million dollars car.. I would be afraid to drive it aggressively too

[@calis6876]

2:35 Mat being disappointed but not willing to say it. Precious.

[@AnonymousGuy05]

One of the most expensive and rare races maybe.Mat showing Levels 🔥🔥🔥🔥, respect for the cars and who lent them

[@austyap]

Drag races keep getting crazier, well done Mat

[@teekay4661]

Carwow never disappoints ❤❤

[@scedwards83]

I visited the Petersen Museum in 2021 with my son. We're both die hard enthusiasts. I've got a picture of him standing next to this EB110 (wearing a face mask, unfortunately). we definitely love the EB110 and F40!

[@GamerPastHisPrime]

EB110 and F40 are my two favourite non Lamborghini exotics, so this was awesome. That Viper was impressive!

[@fixxfixx]

F40 was THE car when I was young... and its still so beautiful!

[@FarAboveDaCloudz]

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!

[@Ronaldo882.]

Thank you Mat , we really enjoyed your work

[@larryroyovitz7829]

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.

[@ililllliiliiil5015]

They should put the zr1 against these

[@purwantiallan5089]

Thats cool. What about Corvette C2 Coupe vs Viper GTS 06 vs Lancer Evo X Engine Swap?

[@lazarmarius7754]

I would Like to see more drag races like this with old cars . Keep it going!

[@TheHayabusa09]

Would love to see a drag race with the Vector W8 Twin Turbo they also have on display at the Peterson Museum..

[@heikkiremes5661]

The trick of the Ferrari F40 is exactly that, luring you into thinking you've beaten it, off the lights, right to the moment the turbos kick in. God I love the F40.

[@myselfandeye3884]

If I would have the money and I would be starting a collection an F40 would be the first car on my shopping list. I just love how that car looks.

[@rickyhychang9080]

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

[@863rafael]

Can't get enough of the F40! But the Viper put up a good fight!

[@Yes_I_c4n]

Staged.

[@nas_20.02-7]

This One Video Was about some minutes to be top 1 most like d video of the whole Car wow channel, but "wind blows in a way that ships do not want"

[@a20axf]

Oh. My. God. Now, that’s a bloody dream drag race 😳

[@UnathiLanga-o8z]

Mat truly does the craziest races, I mean who would've thought of such a race it's unbelievable ❤

[@Dogomatic]

The drag race no one asked for but everyone secretly wanted

[@da_meme_guy_2010]

Two Iconic Cars Together.. What a Lineup

[@Rollin8.0]

OH MY GOD watching a red Viper and a red F40 going at it gave me goosebumps. What a thing to watch!
