When this Dodge Viper ACR faced off against a Chevy Corvette Grand Sport and a BMW M2, the winner was clear at 200mph.
Talk about Clash of the Titans – these cars made for formidable foes out on the race track.
Taking place at the Pocono Raceway in Blakeslee, Pennsylvania, the race was a real thrill to witness.
But we can’t say it was a close-run thing; the winner here was plain to see.
Drag races are often an exciting experience
Is there anything that comes more naturally to a petrol head than to let their car do all the talking out on a race track?
No matter the outcome, it’s always exhilarating to see a drag race play out on a track.
It was a race to behold when the Corvette ZR1 rolled up to the plate in an American heavyweights showdown.
And things certainly got spicy when this heavily modified McLaren 570S rose to the occasion.
This time around, we’ll be looking at a Dodge Viper that took on not one but two cars.
Could it thrash them both? Or would it be left driving off with its exhaust tucked between its wheels?
YouTuber Import 2 Race managed to catch the action.

What happened when the Dodge Viper took on a BMW M2?
The first race saw the Dodge Viper face off against the BMW M2 at Pocono Raceway.
Both cars certainly looked ready and raring to go.
But once the pedal hit the metal, it quickly became apparent which car had the upper hand.
The Viper didn’t so much slither as fly to victory, clocking in a speed of 194.31mph.
That eclipsed the M2’s 133.61mph by some measure.
But would this be a case of lightning only striking once? Could the Viper do it again against another foe?
Would the Chevy Corvette Grand Sport have a better shot at winning?
Unfortunately for the Grand Sport, this was very much a case of history repeating itself.
In fact, it was even worse in this case.
While the Viper clocked in at 200.41mph on the track, the Corvette only managed 87.85mph.
Don’t get us wrong – in any other setting, this would be a very fast speed.
But that’s just not going to cut it out on a race track.
Especially when you’ve got a Dodge Viper in the opposing lane.
