It’s time for an all-American DRAG RACE!

We’ve got our hands on a 6th-generation Ford Mustang, and it’s going up against a 5th-generation Dodge Viper GTC! The thing is, both of these all-American machines have been tuned! So, which will come out on top? Let’s take a closer look at the stats…

Starting with the Mustang, this is the Ford Mustang CS 850. It’s powered by a 5-litre supercharged V8, and whereas it would normally produce 454hp, all of the upgrades mean it now puts down 859hp and 902Nm! This power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual, and it tips the scales at 1,900kg. As new with all the upgrades, the car costs around £115,000.

Then we come to the Dodge Viper GTC. It’s also undergone a slight tune, so while the stock car would produce 654hp from its 8.4-litre naturally-aspirated V8, in this instance it creates 710hp and 786Nm! Just like the Mustang, power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual, and it’s the lighter of the two cars, weighing in at 1,560kg. As new, it costs around £70,000.

So the Mustang is up on power, but the Dodge is a whole lot lighter! Can you pick a winner? There’s only one way to see who will come out on top… LET’S RACE!
