In this thrilling episode of carwow, Matt Watson takes us back in time to witness a battle of automotive titans. On one side, we have the legendary Porsche 911 Turbo from 1986, a true icon of the German engineering prowess. And on the other side, we have the ferocious Dodge Viper from 1992, a beastly creation from the American muscle car era.

Let's start with the Porsche. This beauty is powered by a 3.3L Flat 6 engine, delivering a respectable 300 horsepower and 430 newton-meters of torque. With its rear-wheel drive and a four-speed manual gearbox, it's a classic recipe for automotive excitement. Back in '86, this Porsche was worth $50,000, but today, it's a collector's dream with a value of around $130,000.

Now, let's turn our attention to the Dodge Viper. This American monster boasts an 8L V10 engine, churning out a jaw-dropping 400 horsepower and a mind-boggling 630 newton-meters of torque. With its six-speed manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive, it's a brute force to be reckoned with. Interestingly, the Viper's value hasn't appreciated as much as the Porsche, remaining at $50,000. But let me tell you, the sheer power and presence of this machine is worth every penny.

With the stage set, Matt Watson and Luna from the Peterson Automotive Museum prepare for a clash of nations. The Porsche represents German engineering precision, while the Viper embodies the raw power of American muscle. Revving their engines, the anticipation builds. And when the race begins, it's a battle of acceleration, skill, and sheer determination.

Throughout the races, Matt and Luna go head-to-head, each showcasing their driving prowess and pushing their respective machines to the limit. The Porsche puts up a valiant fight, but it's the Viper that ultimately emerges victorious, dominating the quarter-mile drag race with a time of 12.8 seconds, compared to the Porsche's 13.2 seconds.

But the competition doesn't end there. They engage in rolling races, testing their speed and agility. The Viper once again proves its superiority, leaving the Porsche in its dust. And in the brake test, the Viper's stopping power outshines the Porsche, further solidifying its dominance on the track.

In the end, it's a celebration of automotive excellence, with both the Porsche 911 Turbo and the Dodge Viper showcasing their unique strengths and characteristics. It's a reminder that the world of cars is a diverse and thrilling one, where different nations bring their own flavor to the table. So buckle up and enjoy the ride, because carwow is here to deliver the ultimate automotive entertainment.
