The Carwow Black Friday sale is now live: https://bit.ly/Change-Your-Car-16-11

It's time for an all-American SHOWDOWN!

We've got our hands on a Dodge Viper GTS, a Shelby Cobra replica and a Ford Mustang, and they're about to go head-to-head over the quarter mile to see which comes out on top!

But how do the three compare? Well starting with the Mustang, it's powered by a 5-litre V8 that can produce 460hp and 527Nm. This power is sent to the rear wheels only via a 6-speed manual gearbox, and the tips the scales at 1,808kg. When new in 2019, the Mustang would have cost around £55,000.

Next up we have the Dodge Viper. It comes equipped with an 8-litre naturally-aspirated V10 that creates 456hp and 664Nm. As with the Mustang, the power is sent to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual, and it weighs in at just 1,595kg. As new, the Viper cost around £69,000.

Then finally we come to the Cobra replica. It's powered by a 5-litre Ford Coyote V8 that can put down 460hp and 569Nm. As with the other cars, it's power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual, and it's also scarily light, tipping the scales at just 835kg! If you want to grab one of these, it'll cost you a cool £195,000!

So will the light weight power the Cobra to victory? There's only one way to find out... LET'S RACE!
