What I've learned from this video:
- More horse power do not guarantee you a win in a drag or a roll race;
- Modern drivers HAVE NO IDEA how to use breaks properly.
Seriously, the break test was hard to watch. Both cars don't have ABS, which means you can't just slam the break pedal and expect the car to stop quickly. You need to regulate the force of breaking, so you would be at the very limit of blocking the wheels, but not passing it. Both of them had horrible breaking skills, Luna was lucky that Viper has its engine at the front, I suspect it pushed front wheels harder into the ground, which helped stop the car faster. Porsche with the engine at the back, got something like 50/50 weight distribution, or something close to it, when Met hit the breaks, meaning that rear tires get unloaded and the front doesn't have enough weight to push the front tires into the ground. Both cars, in theory, should have similar break distance as modern cars, if they have good modern tires on them and drivers who know what they're doing.
This is my thoughts based on my theoretical knowledge and some minor race practice. If I'm wrong, you're welcome to correct me.
It would be good if they made the test properly. I wanted to see whether rear engine placement adds any significant break distance.

This drag reminds me of the movie. There's Something About Mary
Luna drove like a Mary throughout, with lazy, slow launches, but Matt out Mary'd her,
snatching defeat from the jaws of victory with his poor performance.
This was anti-climactic, and pretty sad, all around. I wish this video had some drivers in it.

ffs who gave you the driving license? how can you call that emergency braking just loking the brakes? even in my first year i already knew that if i have a malfunctioning ABS system i shouldn't just floor the brake pedal. poor tires and poor cars

Considering the Viper can hit 60mph in first gear, i'd say that 2nd and 3rd gear on the Viper is waaaay too high a gear for the roll races and probably should get someone who knows gearing and how to change gear to participate instead.

Not really a fair drag race in terms of engine size, power, transmission or the year of build. alot happened from '86 to '
1992. But still, I love the Porsche could give the viper a good run

This guy is such a shmuck. Always launching early, then talking shit when he wins because he himself in the faster car. Gloating like he owns the car. Having so overs until he wins. I gets annoying

Why not also give us the best time you got from each car? The Porsche's first run may have been faster than the Viper's third run. Especially as these are fragile classics and tricky to race.

Air cooled 911 transmissions are not designed for dragracing. The shifter feel at best is a bit vague and rubbery. Missing a shift is almost expected unless it s a car you re very familiar with.

That was a bit of a change from the normal Carwow drag races, Mat, not quite so simple when you actually have to drive the car rather than just sit there and plant you right foot is it?

Italy and Germany both won 4 Football World Cups. Brazil won 5, but in the way things are going, they will be surpassed soon.
Brazillian guy saying this btw.

What tyres did they have? Might be good idea to also say what Tyers each car has so we know the difference could be just tyres not the car

as this 911 Turbo has neither anymore the original dampers, chassis settings nor wheels, the terrible breaking exercise was to be expected

I love cars and likes watching just only Manchester United matches which to be honest recently they've been really disappointing
