1,100 HP Mustang vs. Viper on 350 Nitrous Shot, the Power Adder Drag Race

Power adders are a bit like psychedelics, with the fortunate benefit of feeding the driver's mind with pleasure, while putting one's car, instead of one's brain, at risk. Today we want to show you what happens when drivers go deep down the extra oomph rabbit hole and we've got a Mustang vs. Viper fierce fight to work with.

Before we even start discussing these addictive slabs of America, do keep in mind that the output values we'll list target the power and torque at the rear wheels.

In the Black Corner, we find a Fox Body whose engine compartment conceals a 363ci V8 that uses an 83mm turbo to take the muscle to the sky. The unit is gifted with race-spec cylinder heads, and since such an engine requires a gearbox that can take its torque abuse, the 'Stang features a built auto tranny. To be more precise, we're dealing with a machine that can deliver over 1,100 hp. As for the maximum twist figure, the driver wouldn't talk about this.

In the Orange Corner, we have an SRT Viper whose owner has gone down the nitrous route to take his supercar to the gym. This V10 beast is gifted with a massive 350 shot of nitrous, as well as with custom exhaust headers. Interestingly, the rest of the engine is stock and we can say the same about the clutch.

Unfortunately, the two battle it out on the streets, with a third built car being involved in the shenanigan. Those following the street racing world should know we're talking about the Baltic Supra, a machine that could keep up with these two, if not leave them in its dust.

The footage showing the battle includes scenes taken from a camera targeting the shifting action that takes place in the Viper, so you'll find plenty of reasons to pay attention to the clip once you hit the "play" button below.
