Twin-Turbo Viper Meets Tuned Hellcat In This Super-Close Drag Race
These modern legends of American performance have both been tweaked up to genuinely silly power outputs, but which will win in a drag race?
We love a good, close drag race, and this match-up promised to be a humdinger right from the start. What we have here are two modified American kings of speed: a tuned Dodge Challenger Hellcat and a twin-turbo Dodge Viper.
The Hellcat has been bumped to 825bhp and the Viper to 950bhp. The Hellcat has its sophisticated launch and traction control systems, but both cars wear drag-specific tyres.
Either the Hellcat has a shocking start or the Viper jumps it, but at the end of the strip just two hundredths of a second separate them, with one car travelling 10mph faster than the other. Who’s your money on?

Viper. Dont have enough water in my garage for a boat.
^^ best comment lmao
Seems like a perfect car for the UK
Do you live in California
Boat? The viper is a rather svelte car for the category. Are you sure you don’t mean the Challenger? That really is a boat.
Wish Formula 1 races where that close.

One whine, the other blow.
One word, Murica
How can that viper only have 950 whp with twins? Low boost
It says 8 psi. Not sure
And still slower than a stock 720s….
Both sounded awesome though.
They both lost a lot of time on the launch
