Twin-Turbo Dodge Viper Races Big Turbo Supra, Traction Not Found

In social media terms, the ex-generation Supra is arguably more popular than the final incarnation of the Viper. However, this isn't a battle of likes but an actual competitive sprint. And it looks like the American machine has been taken far deeper down the aftermarket route than the Japanese one, even though, as mentioned in the intro, the latter is nothing short of a monster.

We'll start with the V10 animal since the video clearly states its mods. We're dealing with an 1,300 package from Calvo Motorsports, a twin 67-mm turbo job that takes the engine up to 1,300 horsepower at the wheels (well north of 1,400 ponies at the crank), depending on the ECU map used by the driver and the fuel.

And the T56 six-speed manual of the Dodge Viper has been gifted with a PPG sequential upgrade.

As for the Supra, vlogger Mod2Fame, who owns the Toyota and caught the shenanigan on camera, doesn't list the goodies fitted to the 2JZ straight-six under the hood, only letting it slip this features a "big turbo." However, in another video released last fall, we were told the motor, which, by the way, works with an automatic tranny, should deliver north of 800 wheel horsepower (950+ hp at the crankshaft).

Now, the two got together on the street, which reminds us to kindly ask you not to use this as an example and make sure to head over to the drag strip when you feel like racing.

For one, you'll be able to keep things on the safe side. Besides, the prepped surface of the track will help with traction. As you'll notice in the video, the two drivers had a hard time engaging in a proper race due to the grip limitations of a highway run taking place on a seriously cold night. And it looks like the Viper, which was still on its factory wheels (as opposed to beadlock units featuring drag-friendly rubber).

Even so, the machines put on quite a show, and you can skip to the 2:20 point of the clip below for the action, fire spitting and all.
