In a head-to-head competition presented by carwow, two classic cars, the 1986 Porsche 930 Turbo and the 1992 Dodge Viper, engage in a series of drag races to determine which iconic vehicle is faster, showcasing German engineering and American power at the same time.
The Porsche is equipped with a 3.3-liter turbocharged boxer engine, delivering 300 hp and 430 Nm of torque. Its power is transmitted to the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission. For those questioning Porsche’s ability to manufacture fast cars, an article is recommended, featuring drag races among all Porsche 911s.
On the other side, the Dodge Viper, a formidable American contender, boasts an 8.0-liter V10 engine producing 400 hp and 630 Nm of torque. The Viper features a 6-speed manual gearbox and, like the Porsche, propels power to the rear wheels. Despite the Viper’s higher power output, its weight of 1490 kg surpasses the 1310 kg of the Porsche.
