What will win in a drag race between a Dodge Viper Mk4 ACR
¿Qué ganará en una carrera de aceleración entre un Dodge Viper Mk4 ACR?
2
and a BMW E60 M5 in this V10 drag race special?
3
We're going to find out by racing them over the standing quarter mark.
4
I'm Matt Watson, you're watching Car Wow!
5
Let me tell you about this Dodge Viper.
6
So it's got an 8.4-litre, naturally aspirated V10, which normally puts out 600 horsepower.
7
However, it's been tuned by the owner with a new vehicle system ECU tweak
8
so apparently it's got about 650 horsepower now
9
that drives the rear wheels for a chunky six-speed manual gearbox
10
this car weighs in at 1 500 kilos is worth about 130 000 pounds
11
oh hello uh window switches hello just let you know i've
12
owned this car 11 years yeah nobody's ever driven it apart from me yeah
13
so don't break it okay okay barry uh barry yes Oh Stormtrooper.
14
Do you want that back?
15
I'll take that.
16
It's got a few weird nicknakes in this car.
17
Alright Barry I'll look after it.
18
Of course I'll look after it and be very careful.
19
Yee-haw!
20
I've driven a Dodge Viper before, you know, a whole series of Dodge Vipers.
21
Wait a minute, should have given in these today.
22
Nice.
23
Little Joe.
24
Anyhow, let's find out about that BMW.
25
Nick, give us the stats on the German V10.
26
Yeah, so this German V10, 5 litres of naturally aspirated gloriousness, 507 horsepower, 520 newton-metres of torque.
27
This has the SMG gearbox, which is, well, we'll see how that goes, but 7-speed automated robotised manual, rear-wheel drive.
28
This M5 weighs 1,755 kilos, and, yeah, I'm going to destroy you, Matt.
29
Wait a minute, you're down on power, you're down on torque, you're up on weight.
30
I'm not sure you are.
31
Also, when we're racing, your rod bearings might fail.
32
don't say the r word at the time this car was
33
built bmw was racing v10 f1 cars uh what was dodge doing
34
when your car was built oh yeah yeah building trucks yeah
35
all right all right calm down you know what though your car does have launch control
36
so that could be the difference
37
so i've got to do this myself got it all manually i know your car isn't great at smooth shifts
38
but it is good at fast shifts it's got the weirdest launch control method explain it yeah
39
so you have to press the buttons in a sort of weird secret handshake combination
40
which I won't bore you with
41
but then once that's all set up you need to press
42
the brake push the gear lever forwards hold it forwards take your foot off the brake push the accelerator
43
and then just sort of flick the gear lever away
44
and the car takes off apparently yeah
45
so it's not the normal left foot on brake right foot
46
on throttle release the brake you've actually released the brake well
47
beforehand haven't you it's just odd do you know what's interesting though I've got more power well on paper
48
but I've got
49
American power it's often overstated you've got German power
50
which is often understated
51
so it's probably going to be closer than we think there is nothing understated about
52
that car is there Matt you've got side pipes you've got a wing it's just loopy
53
but I do love it and I'll tell you what else I mean they're so different
54
so yours is pretty conservative by comparison whereas my crazy looking
55
car also the sound of them yours sounds like I expect
56
a V10 to sound this doesn't I'm gonna rev mine up
57
now actually you rev up yours first for a nice classy crisp V10 whale Smooth.
58
Now you're ready for this.
59
Admittedly, it's got an aftermarket exhaust on, but have a listen.
60
Yeah, that's good.
61
Wow, wow, wow, this is good.
62
I had the vibrations that come through the cabin.
63
I almost, sorry.
64
I haven't driven this car yet.
65
I need to get a feel for it.
66
I'm gonna have a little go up and down the runway.
67
If you need to do the same Nick, you go do that.
68
Smells of fuel!
69
Wow!
70
Three, two, one!
71
Off we go!
72
Wow, goodbye Matthew.
73
Come on my Dodge darling.
74
Come on German horsepower.
75
Oh, this is really close.
76
Oh, yes.
77
Oh yeah!
78
Yee-haw!
79
Yes!
80
What a machine!
81
I'm giving myself a headache with that.
82
Ha!
83
Ha!
84
I'm glad your windows are tinted because I can't see your smug grin.
85
Well, let me see it.
86
Smug!
87
Oh, put it away!
88
Can your car do any better?
89
Yes or no?
90
Yes, because I have an ABS warning it says brake
91
and drive control system failure reduced braking
92
and driving stability i'm going to turn it off
93
and turn it on again okay
94
but it's not going to make it go any quicker surely
95
what was the problem wheel spin what yeah lots of wheel spin
96
but i was ahead of you throughout all of
97
that i think once we got into sort of third gear
98
then your masses of torque just uh were too much for
99
me yeah more torque less weight let's do best two out of three anyway i'll give you another shot
100
if your rod bearings hold out is your german car broken
101
nothing to worry about it's fine it's all good it's unusual
102
for a german car to break especially a bmw an old bmw yeah whereas uh
103
trucks never break do they no no no it's not got a truck engine it's an aluminium engine
104
i think it'll be fine now okay
105
that was awkward it's like why are you kneeling down here he's gonna kiss the ring
106
that the ring on the finger this body is
107
so long i didn't know where to line up nick look
108
out much further back i'm sat than you oh you're not compensating for anything I'm always compensating Nick, no matter which car I'm driving.
109
Three, two, one.
110
Oh, it bogged that time.
111
Wasn't so good.
112
Come on, go!
113
Oh no!
114
Oh no!
115
Oh no!
116
I've been absolutely demolished!
117
I think he got absolutely d* there.
118
An insult to injury.
119
I turned my wipers on.
120
Now your car is seeming broken, Nick.
121
Is it broken?
122
I didn't get a very good launch at all, and shifting manually, which I have to do when I'm not engaging launch control, is no smoother than this SMG at the best of times.
123
But yeah, couldn't beat you then, could I?
124
Not a hope.
125
What you need is the gear shift in the top setting, regardless of what you do, and then it should smash them at home.
126
Oh, you need stability off for the special, special setting, and it won't let you have stability off because there's something wrong with the ABS sensor.
127
Although, after that run, we're back on.
128
I can get it into special special mode.
129
Damn, we'll count that as a null run.
130
I'm glad as well, because that was bad.
131
It's bogged.
132
So we need all the revs.
133
It's got to be like about four and a half, five.
134
Smell fuel in here?
135
I feel like I'm off my tits.
136
Come on M5!
137
Wow!
138
Oh he's ahead!
139
Oh come on!
140
No!
141
Wow this is brutal!
142
No way, can I pull it back?
143
Shift here.
144
I'm still ahead of that.
145
Come on M5, you can do it.
146
Darn it!
147
Too much wheel spin, I had too many revs.
148
You can do it, yes!
149
Shite.
150
Right.
151
Oh no, you know what that means.
152
One each, no way, Jose.
153
I had too much wheel spin there.
154
This is just like a fine line.
155
You've got to get the wheel spin right, otherwise you've had it.
156
I'm just going to put my window down so you can see my smug face.
157
Well done.
158
I'm glad it all worked.
159
Now what we need to do, you probably need to spend half an hour calling the car down, so you go do that.
160
I'll meet you on the start of the line.
161
Yeah, yeah, he's not wrong.
162
3, 2, 1 We're on, we're snaking Off we go!
163
It's close, that was wild, we're on, we're on, we got it!
164
Come on M5, oh, these are so close,
165
oh, but Matt's pulling ahead We've got it!
166
It's all down to the gear changes now Matthew!
167
Woohoo!
168
Woohoo!
169
Oh that was lush!
170
Fair is fair man, we were neck and neck for ages
171
and my car was just like spinning like crazy could you see it
172
that was so much fun every time i turn to look at you my car changed up
173
and i smacked my head back into the headrest
174
that was violent for both of us but what a race this honestly it's
175
so good it's so good i really really enjoyed that
176
that was a good race unfortunately your car doesn't have to do it again
177
because i don't think it could this i think you could
178
do it all day long tough as old boots this good old american muscle car let's see the times
179
so then what exactly happened well the dodge won it completed
180
the standing quarter mile in 12.3 seconds the bmw took 12.5 seconds right nick now let's have a rolling race
181
so we're gonna race over the half mile we're gonna start in third gear we'll set the pace at 50
182
or three two one go it we'll see what happens how many gears you got six
183
or seven i've got seven gears
184
so that's a good thing now i'll be starting slightly lower
185
in the well we'll find out we will find out because this This thing has long ass gears.
186
Three, two, one, go.
187
I've just dropped that in my nuts.
188
Come on, M5.
189
Oh, he has got long gears, hasn't he?
190
But loads of torque.
191
Oh, no, we've got him now,
192
because I can just rev this out. So long this gear.
193
That's 120 odd.
194
He's disappearing hell.
195
Oh gosh, look at the diffuser flapping away.
196
140 over the line almost.
197
120. Third.
198
He's got no chance.
199
You were defeated.
200
I was, yeah.
201
I could hear your car not struggling, but i could hear it working hard
202
when you pulled off the lack of torque is showing itself now isn't it do you reckon
203
if you're higher up in the rev range from the get-go you would have more of a chance i think
204
so yeah yeah this is a smaller engine high revving what's your red line actually six
205
and a half what's yours mine's eight two but i did 120 miles now in third gear
206
i'll tell you what we'll do we'll do a half mile rolling from 10 miles an hour okay Oh,
207
yeah, that definitely helped me.
208
Oh, it's closer.
209
Oh, but look who's caught.
210
I know he's dead, surely.
211
But oh my goodness once he's in third that is game over for me and there he goes Oh,
212
boost as well and truly engaged in that Viper.
213
Come on M5, you're not embarrassing yourself.
214
This is wicked.
215
Oh, I bet this sounds amazing on the outside.
216
Yeah, you got nothing, boy, you got nothing.
217
That thing's like a Saturn V.
218
Like, the first 10 metres is not slow and steady, but once it gets going, the boosters are lit.
219
And you just go to the moon!
220
Right, this next thing I'm worried about, let's just get it over and done with.
221
Although those brakes look pretty meaty on that car, are they stock?
222
I have no idea.
223
You know we're going to have a brake test for 100 miles an hour, a car that stops in the shortest distance wins.
224
Nick goes onto something there.
225
These are upgraded brakes, they're from the Gen 5 car.
226
Hopefully that'll help me out here.
227
Oh, slow down!
228
Oh, that really missed...
229
Whoa!
230
Oh my goodness!
231
oh where is it oh oh it's not oh it's not too bad look at
232
that this stops much better than the bmw doesn't it i mean this is a four-door saloon
233
and the tires on your car they're wider than i don't
234
know the english channel i didn't even have any abs at
235
all it was just i reckon i could have hit it harder he was just chilled
236
so good so impressed by this goal
237
which one do you think has the best v10
238
that highly strung low tolerance bmw or this high tolerance unhighly strung dodge i think
239
that the performance is comparable ultimately your car is a bit faster
240
and i imagine yours will keep being faster for decades to
241
come this is gonna need some tlc at some point isn't it
242
and that's something about bmws now you might be thinking i'm being a bit unfair on bmws
243
but to see what i mean we did a drag race of all m5s
244
and um one broke now if you watch that video there you'll see exactly which BMW M5 brake, because you had all the generations, and you'll be able to see the performance between them.
245
Do you think you can really rely on BMW for reliability?
246
If that makes any sense?
247
Watch that video, find out.
248
Listen, don't forget to subscribe to this channel, because we've got more V10 battles.
249
Thanks for watching, and I'll see you very soon in the next V10 Drag Race video.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
