Good video, I want to mention to casual viewers that the Daytona Coupe is far lighter than the Viper, and doesn't need any more horsepower to be really quick. If anything it could use some extra aero to match the ACR's downforce. Estimated weight and P/W ratio for the coupe and Viper: Daytona Coupe: 2300lbs, 435hp PW ratio 5.29 Viper: 3400lbs, 640hp PW ratio 5.31 Also keep in mind that every track is different and can favour certain characteristics of the cars. I don't think any single car is the fastest on every track, and again, the driver would also be a huge factor in the performance.

@@jeffthebaptist3602 That is definitely an R frame. Michael is right, the standard 65 Coupe does not use the cross members between the A pillars and she has the door cage (1:18) that the standard frame does not have. Maybe she didn't want to add the aero because the vintage class she races in doesn't allow it? For example, in SVRA, this is straight from their rules: "The body configuration should be as raced "in period". All body parts must be of the same material and design as those supplied by the manufacturer as standard or an option." Not sure how she's racing in vintage races with a modern Coyote though. That we'd have to ask her. The R front lip is attached, not molded btw. Same with the fender vents that reduce air pressure in the wheel wells. I'm building a standard 65 Coupe and all that aero on the R are parts that can be purchased individually (which I will be installing on mine).

That Daytona Coupe was one of the first cars to have real aero, so I wouldn't say it doesn't have any, but you can't beat a huge budget with wind tunnel testing and 50 more years of engineering advancements, even if you are Carroll Shelby and Peter Brock. I'm impressed with how well the Daytona did next to the modern stuff honestly. Those guys were way ahead of their time.

@chuckhelson - I have to laugh at everyone faulting the Daytona's aerodynamics. The very reason the Daytona was built was the Cobra roadster was about as aerodynamic as a barn door and just ran out of steam at around 155mph, not fast enough to threaten the GTO Ferrari, its main competitor at Le Mans, which could hit 183 mph on the Mulsanne straight. When Pete Brock and the Shelby crew did some minor wing work on the Daytona, it would reach 197 at the hands of the late, great, Bob Bondurant. Nothing wrong with the aerodynamics of the Daytona! Consider too that it was powered by a 390hp 289 V8 where the Viper had a 640hp, V10. Top speed: Viper ACR - 177mph. Daytona Coupe - 197mph!

Coyote swap for the Daytona? Hell it ran 0-60 in 3.9 seconds with the 289 in 1964. Not sure thats entirely necessary.

It's a replica (kit car). So they sourced the engine independently.

@DrBleed - Not only that, Bob Bondurant (RIP Bob) hit 197mph on the Mulsanne straight at Le Mans in 1964 in his world championship winning Daytona Coupe. All these guys saying it needs more aero - Bull it does! That ACR Viper has a top speed of just 177mph!

The Viper was made for One thing, to Win races! The Downforce....

Ok I get the comparison but .... full on factory viper, vs a kit car with coyote engine. Show me the real price diff and better engine power match up. Basically better aero dynamics bigger engine the kit car would dominate?

Can't beat a factory five build kit. Doing it yourself, know how was put together, where everything goes, and it was you own vision how to finish it. With factorty five Can go old school or super car at a fraction of cost . there is a race track only version of this Daytona - 65r that has all the aerodynamics of modern track cars, and can beat modern super cars on the track.
