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.

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.

[@sambpopashango]

Man. Gotta appreciate the subtlety of old supercars sounds. They don't sound too loud, too mean, but it rips so hard. ❤

[@TS-yh3rv]

F40 Vs Viper? That‘s like Beauty and the beast. F40 forever, no comparison needed!

[@joeluchi720]

This is wild, thanks Carwow🤯🤯. A drag race I didn't know I wanted🎉🎉

[@AnonymousGuy05]

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

[@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.

[@joy5044]

Greatest race of all time. ❤ thanks Matt for making this happen. About time indeed.

[@420Ard]

Before even watching, this is already the most EPIC dragrace ever! Thanks Carwow!

[@GamerPastHisPrime]

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

[@kenblockxd7087]

This is absolutely crazy!!! Congrats Carwow! You guys have come a long way! Kudos to ya too @mat!

[@Fester_]

The blue Eb110 from UK magazine cover was what dreams were made of, especially when they told us the specs. Still a total dream car for me, along with Jag.

[@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.

[@famyemil]

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

[@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

[@Scott-zk8co]

Some of my favorite cars from the 90's: Jaguar XJR-15, Corvette C5, Lamborghini Diablo SV, Ferrari F355

[@fixxfixx]

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

[@Dntdgxj]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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?

[@SonGoku42O]

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.

[@austyap]

Drag races keep getting crazier, well done Mat

[@ZacharyWilfong]

not even reving out the f40 is crazy

[@Rollin8.0]

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

[@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.

[@danielleon8901]

Im so glad this video was created. Thank you !

[@FlynnBellamyCars]

Keeping history alive, thanks Mat & the carwow team.

[@teekay4661]

Carwow never disappoints ❤❤

[@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

[@DoubleDrastik]

id say the viper has the advantage of being NA it´s harder to send a turbo charged car because you have to consider when boost is gonna kick in and peak for the first 2 shifts to have the right amount of power. but man these racer where amazing. my favorite cars in a drag race. im a 90´s baby so all these cars i had as hot wheels

[@lambo2807]

Please more of these 90's supercars❤

[@robertmorris4784]

I've admired both these cars since their launch. If I had to choose only one it would be the EB10. It looks as good today as when it was unveiled.

[@lazarmarius7754]

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

[@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!

[@863rafael]

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

[@Yes_I_c4n]

Staged.

[@a20axf]

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

[@clementspeedshop]

Not going to lie I was hoping for some hard launches! May as well call it a rolling start 😅

[@otero2235]

I hear you, they are on 30 year old clutches and borrowed cars so they milk it some.

[@volvoc70t52]

Pointless bringing the cars along to race and do them a disservice of nearly 14s 1/4mile. If you don't want your car driven properly leave it in storage.

[@clementspeedshop]

@@otero2235 this is true but just watch Chris Harris rag the life out of an F40 and F50 at Anglesey. No pussy footing around he rinses them! And so much the better for it.
