make adam c a regular . You + adam c racing driver sam = next gen top gear .

[@purwantiallan5089]

​@@TheCraigy83Adam C as a regular can be a good choice.

[@johnnyhickman6798]

The best soundtrack to any carwow drag race

[@dandylion1987]

Incredible sound. Old cars > new cars

[@rockeygamings7425]

💯💯💯

[@Yhiozzz-]

I need a viper 😭

[@puppet_theater_016]

Agreed!

[@jonl2938]

They all sound fabulous. The only knock on the sound of the Viper was when cruising in 6th (overdrive gear). I remember getting passed on the highway by one back in 2004 and looping along at 1200rpm it sounded trash. Too lazy to google to confirm, but pretty sure it has an uneven firing order making it sound off at low rpm.

[@mattabell3657]

The 8.0L V10s torque showed up for that rolling race!

[@myownsite]

Much better aero too

[@bucher422]

Cobra sounded like he was in the wrong gear on the roll race.

[@gazfish]

Only 50 bhp per litre takes some doing even back in the 90s probably because a push rod won't rev

[@purwantiallan5089]

​@@bucher422same also to 2010s Mustang GT.

[@technom3598]

No... It was a monumental amount of HP back then and torque. ​@@gazfish

[@BANNANA_DEV]

500 HP and only weights 835 kg!? that's insane!

[@robertresetar6468]

Dry

[@SfLow415]

Bad ass video!!! Need more of these

[@bertkreft9689]

with all liquids added still under 1000 kilos

[@BANNANA_DEV]

@@robertresetar6468 Still very impressive though

[@karlhopkins713]

Yeah that's why they did 0-100 mph-0 in 13 seconds.

[@_whyte.woods_1256]

Carwow hasn't sounded this good, possibly ever

[@KAWTELENUH]

Didn't they race an lfa?

[@astonisher7549]

Manual drag racing are something else🤤

[@bertkreft9689]

more oldschool is only a steamengine - never the less nice mechanical machines

[@MD-uu5nt]

Proper racing. Auto races are boring

[@edsontrovoada4357]

100% 😅

[@purwantiallan5089]

​@@MD-uu5ntCarwow should kept the manual drag race for next Carwow videos.

[@Sharu_Z]

Dang that viper is crazy

[@electrikoptik]

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.

[@Q-nt-Tf]

It's so great. This and the Cobra are from Matts new husbands collection. I know Matt is doing good himself but dude married a billionaire businessman. Well done.

[@purwantiallan5089]

​@@electrikoptikthe 2014 SRT VIPER GTS can do 0 to 60mph in only 8.26 seconds.

[@joe125ful]

Team Oreca Viper is crazy:)*

[@1991julez]

Fastest drag 12.5 seconds and yet still the most exciting race you’ve posted in a long time. Manual gearboxes and NA engines. This is what drag racing is about.

[@santiagogodoy6741]

Power/weight ratio explained clearly in this video.

[@myownsite]

Aero as well since that cobra is a brick.

[@Hugglepuff]

@@myownsite yes but becuase of the power to wight on that monster kind of cancels that thing out that thing will easilly hit 180 like that that thing is a monster 500 bhp for a car wieghing only one ton is stupidly fast no wonder the viper couldent beat it

[@myownsite]

@@Hugglepuff weight doesn't matter much at high speed, you're fighting air resistance But the cobra is small so even if terrible coefficient it could be worse

[@samclark3370]

That Viper is still beautiful. Was mind blowing when it came out.

[@CrispCrown]

4:22 the absolute purest form of joy on Mat's face 😂

[@tots16]

That was awesome!

[@WonkierCannon13]

the cobra looks beautiful

[@leefy4829]

If you like that one check out the one Vangard Motor Sales posted today on their YT channel.

[@petewick8627]

Incredible

[@NickWainwright6970]

Best car shape ever! Timeless

[@Kahless00]

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.

[@titusmuli035]

The way matt launched that shelby is amazing

[@erickomondi007]

He's the undisputed professional drag racer.

[@ManTa-o5y]

The MOST VISCERAL drag race on Carwow! Damn those V8s! PURE HEAVEN!!!!

[@SteveRogers-qz9bd]

This is easily one of the best videos on this channel, it's in the top 10 for me.

[@mirage1729]

I'm very glad I'm using my best headphones for this! Those engines sound sublime!

[@morty_mcfly]

The Viper's engine sound is incredible 🤩

[@mattabell3657]

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.

[@Feltzy-]

I've never heard a better comparison for a tvr or viper, but now that you bring it up, they're really alike.

[@blaketindle4703]

The Viper still looks sooooo good!!! Sounds badass too!

[@wideshadyy]

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.

[@TheChrisglasgow]

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 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@corbo2765]

That Shelby is stunning. So is the viper. Two of my favorite cars ever.

[@enzomolina5309]

That viper, dayum🔥

[@bkhantheking1]

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!

[@Encarnation1000]

That viper with double the weight is doing really well.

[@AdamC3046]

POPCORN READY!

[@EconomicsMate1]

Adam! Fancy seeing you here on the channel mate! Love how you've got both the GTS and the Cobra

[@MichaelMengo]

I had a feeling you would be here

[@waziennorman2254]

U'r complain when you lose, you make a rude bark when you win so annoying😑🙄🥱

[@waziennorman2254]

Always had excuses when you lose right😂😂😂make rude bark when you win so annoying 😑🙄🥱..please don't come again☺️🙏

[@pppcorn]

lets go

[@tgerasimov]

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.

[@KaiCo89]

The Sound is just nuts

[@tiagomg2711]

Best drag race sound in CarWow EVER!!

[@FutisJani]

That Viper sounds astonishing!!!

[@T-Bag13]

We need more ADAM C. YIANNI VS JAMIE OG VS ADAM C VS MARK MACAN VS.... yeah Mat as well.

[@dabassixs1410]

I’m such a Fan of Adam C and Mat Watson , happy to see You Both in one video!

[@tinayeshendlovu2567]

This is the best drag race showing driving skills to the max, Mat absolutely nailed it with those launches

[@sameervasisht1307]

I reckon this has to be the best 'car wow' drag race with amazing sound track . Kudos to you!

[@module79l28]

If the point of this video was to conclude that for equal power the weight really matters, then you guys nailed it!

[@Anuhassss]

The sound of those cars are like music to my ears 🤤

[@disbsam333]

By far one of the most visceral drag races Carwow has done. I love how none of them have rev limiters like the new cars.

[@SisarothSC]

Ooh that viper is pretty, one of my favorite cars when I was a kid along with the Impreza 22B and the Skyline R34. I like blue xD

[@Nacho_Fan_Sandy_Ravage]

Recently bought a 2015 Mustang and love it to pieces so was sorry to see it lose but god damn what a symphony from all 3 cars!

[@BurghAleAddict]

That viper is perfect. Stunning in that blue with the white stripes. Amazing sounding big ole v10. Amazing

[@wgbskate31]

Matt’s gear changes were on point on that thing! Beautiful 🎉

[@capybara4293]

Best sounding carwow drag race in ages

[@abceh1000]

That Was just pure symphony

[@polopowered]

Good to see AdamC representing.

[@rogerpayne5336]

Way to GO golden oldies.....Cobra & Dodge Viper = Living Legends. Good race....

[@jurandas00]

The most unexpected race, but is a class race! 🗿🔥

[@NAmania]

The Viper is the very definition of an iconic car. The generation that started their car love with Gran Turismo and Gran Turismo 2 on the original PlayStation (i.e my generation), simply cannot get enough of it!

[@MR-ry5tj]

Adam is brilliant. Such a cool chap, and his channel is great. GG!

[@puttitat2851]

Welcome AdamC! Hope to see you more on this channel, possibly with some of your other cars. You know, everybody loves a white Chaser 😉

[@SA-zoom1]

Have to hand it to Adam C, driving his own car hard

[@EconomicsMate1]

Hell yea! American Muscle all the way! Im taking that Viper all day long

[@FabrizioAlemanno]

I'm waiting so long to see AdamC on carwow 😅.

[@myownsite]

ABS does not stop faster, it maintains maneuverability. Though I guess someone might object to flat spotting the tyres for a good score in one test.

[@joengugi1]

Am CarWow and you are watching Mat Watson.. all American muscle... Very nice... All the way from. Nairobi Kenya

[@ManTa-o5y]

Hey there neighbor! Watching Carwow from Kitwe, Zambia! 😊

[@Edrox5000]

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]

It's less about footwork and more about launching it without it bogging.

[@Edrox5000]

@@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.

[@sandindesoysa4868]

No way AdamC is here. I wished for this a couple of years ago and here it has come true haha

[@kviperacr]

The Viper GTS is really perfect. I am owner Viper for years and this car is unique. Incredible performances for the time. It's still a car that came out in 1997 and still manages to stand up to modern cars. Just like the AC Cobra, the Viper is a legend, and if you ever buy one, you'll never change. I, for example, have a 2002 GTS and a 2017 SRT. If I sold them, I could buy a Lamborghini or a Porsche, but I would never change my Vipers. To ride, it's a truly unique car and everywhere you go, it's successful. People like this car. 🐍🐍🐍

[@matthewcarter9790]

Surprised how close the viper was to the cobra given how light the cobra is. I’d have the viper gts anyday of the week.

[@Kieltec]

This is what a real drag race looks like 😊😊

[@dlmullins9054]

I had a 99 GTS, and it was a beast. I had another, but I still think the GTS was the best looking anyway. That Cobra is so light. It should not even be racing against the other's because it is not like the original one's. Way faster. Still a beautiful machine though.

[@B-Rok88]

Definitely one of the best sounding races you guys have done. This lineup was a good one

[@1corinthians15.1-4kjv]

That Dodge Viper is my kind of car. American V10! Glorious sound. Remember though, it is hugely down on power to the final version, which got 645 HP, in 2015! And also incredible hightech equipment, as for instance ABS. In that car Throttle House set a time on their track, that stood for several years, but today is just beaten by Corvette ZO6, Porsche 911 GT3 RS and BAC MONO

[@Aswin_Benny]

That V10 growl is pure chaos and perfection, Dodge Viper ♥️

[@std1510]

By far the best drag you have ever done!! The noise is just so good!!

[@joesantos2455]

What a(n) peculiar act to rate, Matt: "You got off GREAT!"

[@DevMikey]

So if you guys wanted to know the US prices for these cars. The 2018 Mustang generally goes around 25K. We have a company in the states that makes the cobra they’re called AC cobra I seen them go for around 70k to 100,000k. And you can find a viper around $40-$50,000. Also, these prices do depend on condition and mileage they can be more or less depending on what you’re looking for.

[@julianpollock5323]

This is without doubt the best sounding drag video ever!!

[@LilyHavener-mz8fc]

i was not suprised by the cobra in the first race, due to its insane lightness, adn tht power, just makes for a mean combination

[@arthuryosupov508]

Wow ! Crazy drag . Some of your best drag races yet ! Awesome Cobra Shellby! ❤

[@machohogan]

Love that Viper. Recognise the guy from the chav car show videos. He’s an entertaining chap. I’m not a person who’s too bothered about the sound of a car but this is next level. So cool to hear

[@kamilbroda248]

Mat I love your show I watch it all the time. Every time I watch it there is one thing I miss and that is the speed of the cars crossing the finish line!!! :)

[@andycasier6724]

Yes! We love Adam c! And a white chaser...

[@tots16]

That was the best sounding drag race that I’ve heard in months!

[@seanmichaelp724]

Shows you how absolutely insane the Viper was for the time. Supercar performance and styling for a fraction of the price.

[@AnnaDinin]

Ihr Kanal ist ein Beispiel dafür, wie qualitativ hochwertige Inhalte auf KZbin sein sollten. Danke für deine harte Arbeit und Mühe!🥳😈♀️

[@govandrasul1601]

Probably one of the videos i really enjoyed watching

[@Michael_Irohazaka]

Seeing that video, I had some serious Test Drive 4 vibes right here. So good to see these ones.

[@Neitspace]

Ac Cobra is my dream car, listening to this thing made me roll my eyes in my head more then I should have (in a good way). Love the content lads!

[@mrveeenglish]

4:34 that shift by Matt is awesome on replay

[@cleonii]

the sounds.... pure heaven

[@Mark-q6x]

Never expected adamc to be here

[@abnfalcon3901]

1st time so excited to see and hear Carwow Sound Check, American Muscle car engines at their finest ❤

[@muzyy8978]

3:54 That cobra skedaddled outta there faster than a guilty politician caught with his hand in the cookie jar! 💨

[@shukoorghafouri6056]

Adam is here yeaaaa

[@kevinmorphet8083]

That second start may be the best sound ever recorded.

[@ukwan]

Weight doesnt matter in a rolling race it's aerodynamic drag vs horse power thats the overwhelming metric.

[@idreesaljamie9603]

Not really fan of writing here...but to be honest This is one the best drag race you've done 👍🏻✅

[@jan-christiaanjacobs1995]

this has to be one of the best sounding videos ever

[@vornamenachname1572]

11mins of eargasm. Thx carwow!

[@ObinnaDanielUchenna]

that viper was very close to to the shelby

[@raffe65]

Wow! best dragrace so far!👍 Now we need to see original 60s muscelcars.

[@edwartvonfectonia4362]

More raw v8 v10 v12 classic car drag races. Love it!

[@pete_mustang]

It was a pleasure letting Rory drive the Mustang even though it's not the outcome we wanted. Thanks for such a brilliant day 🙏🏻

[@zachlafond2652]

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.

[@aleksandar8646]

Loved this race... You see where the skill kicks in!

[@faiyazsibgat4643]

Driving the Shelby cobra feeling like Shelby in Ford Vs Ferrai absolutely Marvelous car love it.

[@ihavealife002]

On one hand I'm glad we don't have more v10 cars because it makes them that much more special, but on the other hand, that also means you get to hear fewer v10s... You can't beat the noise a v10 makes.

[@lucaparisi7610]

One of the most beautiful drag race I’ve ever seen on this channel !!!! I’ve got some goosebumps in here guys !! What an outstanding performance those cars :)

[@stilllmkp]

your making me feel like a gauge dimmer switch
