It’s time for an all-American showdown!

We’ve got our hands on the Mk2 Dodge Viper GTS, and it’s going up against a Dodge Challenger! The question is, will it be a walkover for the newer Dodge? Let’s take a closer look…

Starting with the Viper, it’s powered by an 8-litre naturally-aspirated V10 that can deliver 456hp and 664Nm of torque. This power is sent to the rear wheels only via a 6-speed manual gearbox, and the car weighs in at just 1,595kg. When new in 1998 it cost around £69,000, but as of today it’s valued at around £78,000.

Alongside it we have the Challenger RT Scatpack. It’s powered by a 6.4-litre V8 that can produce 492hp and 644Nm. This power is sent to the rear wheels via an 8-speed auto, and it tips the scales at 1,957kg. As new it costs around $49,000, but if you’re looking to pick one up in the UK, it’ll set you back around £65,000!

So the Challenger is newer and more powerful, but will the weight difference prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!

Thanks to @AdamC3046 for joining us with his Viper!
