Maybe but with such old potentially fragile valuable cars he may actually be a good driver but has just eased the clutch out and not tried to thrash and overload the drive train. I guess they got a big lecture about blowing them up.😂
YOU DON'T CLUTCH DROP CARS LIKE THESE YOU WILL MOST DEF HURT THE DRIVE TRAIN DO ROLL OUT DRAG RACES OR ROLLS ONLY DOING FULL REV CLUTCH DUMPS NO WAY THE RACE ISN'T WORTH IT. EDIT I REALIZED AFTER GETTING TO 4:56 OF THE VIDEO THEY DID INFACT HURT THE CAR.
No disrespect because I understand the need to preserve the expensive rare drivetrains, but we need to have guys with deep pockets who are not afraid to break anything and can build it back stronger. Thats where you will truly see what these cars can do.
Absolutely agree. Or simply just don't have the drag race at all. Everybody knows how much these things cost at this point. Why bother half-assing it if the other result is ruining a classic?
exactly these matchups are pointless if they baby cars that were built to be driven hard! if its that serious why even bring it to the track! these guys just want the clicks im guessing!
@@chargerhemiman79 Thats what makes these match ups pointless! they are using the cars nostalgia as the spark to gain the clicks which in turn is pointless because they just babied the cars the whole time! The f40 is my favofite historic supercar but i dont like seeing it in these types of events for a reason its just dumb! the EB110 breaking and the other guy snailing off the line every pass proves my point! drag racing usually is more exciting! ive seen 300 Hp fr hatches do more just being honest
@@mattsloop2736 thats what made this event pointless! babying supercars down a drag strip because of fear of breaking anything just from acceleration shouldve been the thing that made them not attempt this all together!
Thanks for lending Matt to drag race these awesome chariot.😅 Worth 1.5M against an Italian car that's worth 2M. Men I would be peeing my pants just to touch this car😂😂😂. The trust and faith the owners of these cars have in Matthew is very interesting. 👏🏾👏🏾. Good race👌🏾
They shift at 5000 rpm or LESS - that’s not a race, it a bull***t. Check the video at 6:17, 6:28, 7:47 and 8:32 min. You can review both cars - that’s OK. But don’t pretend to perform a DRAG RACE, when you actually do grandma-like driving around the block.
To hit the 1/4 mile in 13,8s with cars like these you should be going reversed 😆.. As almost always happens, this show is ruthlessly selling s**t to the public.
@@shikarbabulall3897 yes it did, and it is arguably the greatest road car ever built. But, it is 6 litres, and they outsourced the powerplant from BMW (and got very lucky as a customer), when Ferrari and Bugatti built their own (Bugatti engine concept maybe tied to earlier Lamborghini work by the designer, though).
Awesome performance from the Viper, for a car that is worth a fraction of the Bugatti and the F40. This just made me want to get another first gen Viper in the Collection. 😬
Ils ont cru que la f40 a un moteur diesel je pense! A 6:18 on voit l'aiguille rpm au milieu du compteur (à 5000 rpm) alors que la zone rouge débute à 7750 rpm.. Au moins on va dire qu'ils respectent cette noble voiture.
You can drive the Viper hard all day and when something breaks, you can get replacement parts quite readily. Blowing up the engine on an EB110 might be curtains for that car, permanently.
Iove how people who criticize how theys guys drive thes priceless cars like they have a clue what its like to drive, or own one. You'd take it easy too if you had any clue what its like to drive something that most garages can't even get parts for, let alone work on. Nevermind how much the parts that probably need to be made specifically for the car would cost. You cant just go to AutoZone and get parts for cars like that guy's. They aren't cheap honda civics.
That dude in the F40 make "the Drake" so much mad that I can hear him yelling at him...I will not write what he saying for the integrity of his mental stability but it's better he start to drive a bicycle not an F40
The F-40 driver wasn’t even trying to take off & Matt kept jumping especially the 1st race with the Viper! Now I get the F-40 driver didn’t want to abuse the car since it’s worth $2M but if he was trying, the F-40 would had won all the races even the one that Matt thinks he won (which he clearly jumped) 😉
I enjoyed this unlike some miserable muppets to many people hit the comments just to have a pop at some one or something life's to short get some therapy its not a race for your life or country its a bit of fun
Mooncat79 is exactly right alot of people on this channel cant use a manual box most of my mates cant even change the gears in my 1M properly Chas kelly drove the f40 at targa tasmania he had trouble keeping the power to the ground on the roads there but he did a superb job anyway The f40 is a real car one of the most collectible cars around. honestly most of the modern sports cars people buy today are crap
the F40 should be at least 1.5 seconds faster, he was clearly short shifting it .. comparisons done that way are sort of worthless, my humble 5 cents ..
Can't see the point in rich people keeping these as nothing more than ornaments who will never use them for what they were designed for - if they're so rich, why act like scrooge and never push them? Anything can be fixed and kept running with enough money! Built for enjoyment, not to be in bubble wrap.
These drag races are totally pointless when one driver can't launch a car off the line. The. Ferrari driver was less than useless

There's a reason why Sam's choosing them
On the other hand don't expect a good launch from a 35+ years old car
@@malcolmwhite6588 you are correct he doesn’t launch it hard n purpose as if he damages anything in that car it will be a super costly mistake

Not a true testament to the ferrari or Bugatti's performance, both cars launched off boost, and granny shifting😂
100% It was absolute torture to look at.
Ya because they dont want to beat on a collector car thay has aged and can't easily be replaced.. shocking i know..🤦♂️

That Ferrari F40 is still gorgeous 30+ years later..
f40 driver...... like 99 yrs old average driver
Just having the Chance to drive these iconic supersportscars from the 80/90s is incredible! These cars are pure emotion
Either the f40 driver is being super gentle to his clutch and gearbox off the line or just can't drive the car.
Have a feeling he's taking it easy. Not like autozone has parts for it lol
@@mattsloop2736 thats what made this event pointless! babying supercars down a drag strip because of fear of breaking anything just from acceleration shouldve been the thing that made them not attempt this all together!
Incredible that Viper fights like it does against 6 figure super cars.
Clearly taking it very easy on the expensive cars off the line not wanting to drop the clutch and go.
Pretty impressive short shifting the F40 kept with the viper
Typical American behaviour, trying to give the win to their own lol
The F40 turbo dump 🥰 Ah man, that how a turbo'd Ferrari should sound!

Your comments interesting............ It's literally driving a car in a straight line on a massive wide runway with plenty of space 😂😂😂
HATE TO BE THAT GUY BUT THE F40 NEEDED A DRIVER😂😂
nah he was be gentle with the clutch and gear box that what made this point less they babied the cars and one still broke
I am super impressed with the old Viper! To even be close is awesome!
This two cars rapresent the peak of car industry in italy and the peak of the italian economy power

3.5 LITERS WITH 12 CYLINDERS AND 4 TURBOS WITH AWD MY GOD BUGATTI HATS OFF TO YOU.
For what I like it as well but the McLaren F1 destroyed everything as a V12 naturally aspirated
@@shikarbabulall3897lmfao apples and oranges dude the bmw engine was massive.
The Bugatti probably only ever managed to do the A part of any A to B journey.
@@chrismorrison1955 nah man I used to always see a blue one as a kid. I lived next to an exotic car dealership.

The guy in the F40 was barely winding out the motor. He was shifting at around 5000 RPM LOL
The f40 driver gives off “ more than you afford pal” energy 😂

That Ferrari was breaking up really bad in the beginning you can hear it in the pre race rev up
If these things are that delicate they need to be in a museum 🎨 driving like miss daisy 😢
The next time you're going to have a drag race. Have cars that people aren't afraid to drive and have a driver that's not afraid to drive it
F40 my dream car
EB110 is one of my all time favourites
Cool races, Chris has zero enthusiasm, have fun my guy you are racing fun cars!!!
You can drive the Viper hard all day and when something breaks, you can get replacement parts quite readily. Blowing up the engine on an EB110 might be curtains for that car, permanently.
Turbo lag heaven! They both left the line like molasses indicating they want to preserve the drive train. Should just do rolling starts.
This was a customary hood classic ! 🎉
The viper put up a great show, however it was plotting to kill its driver the entire time…😂
I understand the laws to test this cars. I d like to see high revs on launch and changing gears😢
That Ferrari looks rad
I think it’s got two rads plus an oil cooler as well
Nice ride! What is retail price of one of those?
This actually reminds me of that time Chris Harris absolutely destroyed a track in an F40 and F50.
The viper gearbox is TIGHT! I owned this car for a while. Takes a while to get used to it.
Those Tremec six-speed gearboxes are tricky,but their are mods you can do to them.
Pretty sure this episodes been done before
Now Bugatti will BAN Mat Watson from buying their Cars.🤣
12.2 is really impressive for a manual first gen viper. I’m assuming that’s modern rubber.

I vote bugatti eb110😎👏🏻.
But i think the ferrari F40 is gonna win??🎅🏻
Seemed the F40 driver has drunk a full bottle of valium. Why does he shift alt least at 5000rpm, just when the boost sets in ??
The F-40 driver wasn’t even trying to take off & Matt kept jumping especially the 1st race with the Viper!

Race start at 3:00
Might as well have just done a rolling race
Ese viper es una bestia a la par del f40
I enjoyed this unlike some miserable muppets to many people hit the comments just to have a pop at some one or something life's to short get some therapy its not a race for your life or country its a bit of fun
Disappointed to say the least, want a rematch. And driver mod for the F40, please, I volunteer my services.
Il pilota dell’F40 nn Sa guidare 😅
F40 sounded like it was missing?
eb110 is the only bugatti I like, but I still would take f40, because of weight and simplicity
On a longer track the 110 would just slay..
Would like to see Mercedes clk gtr vs McLaren f1 lm so have a Mercedes McLaren battle since go together
F40 is really beautiful.
Please, f40 vs f50 in a drag race
3:20 Oh no no no no,,, 🤭🤭
Gyakorlatilag a Viper tudja azt amit az F40 gyorsulàsban.. Az àraikat nézve mégis vilàgok vàlasztjàk el őket egymàstól..😁
What's the point of the race when the f40 driver is shifting the moment when the boost comes...
How do I get these forced subtitles off the screen they are very distracting
Doesn't Petersen also have an XJ220? Should've taken her out too.
6:28 hope thats italian electrics and the f40 is actually up to temp lol
Viper acr twin turbo please !!!!!!!!!
Mooncat79 is exactly right alot of people on this channel cant use a manual box most of my mates cant even change the gears in my 1M properly

The f40 is a real car one of the most collectible cars around.

12.2 is fast AF for a 1st Gen viper!!
Driving like my dead Grandma. I understand, you can't smash these Museum exhibits it'd be vandalism.
Just missing a Jag XJ220
La F40 a quel regime di giri va in aspirato senza il turbo....😂
Is it just me but the 2 cars sounded alike
Shure the F40 driver had ever driven a race???😂😂
Am i right in thinking they have a stock voice over for launches. The man has the same voice as other female launchers
Ferrari reliability is awesome...
I heard better revs from 1.2ltr slightly modified corsa's compared to that buggati 🤣
Wow🎉
F40❤❤❤❤❤🔝
Episch...
people be forgetting those are race cars so drive it like one god that pisses me off
the F40 should be at least 1.5 seconds faster, he was clearly short shifting it .. comparisons done that way are sort of worthless, my humble 5 cents ..
EB110 is the faster vehicle hands down
These guys can't handle a stick shift car. Totally pointless!

Matt you can’t drive manual sorry buddy 😏
i love RETRO mania 😇
American muscle!
All great cars and would love a drive in the F40, but forward 26 years and my 335d would chase them down the runway😅
F40 👍👍👍
the shortshifting "drag race" how pointless I remember why I alrdy blocked the og carwow channel
American driver + manual gearbox = 😂
They cannot drive with manual gearbox...🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Sei sicuro di aver dato tutto il gas ???
The f40 could not launch worth shit no matter who the driver was. It was for cornering and track use.
F40 driven like a grandma
Are they short shifting the Ferrari?
Holy crap 13.8? Snooze fest
FERRARI💪💪💪
the Ferrari driver is completely useless... he would be faster walking
Der F40 hat Zündausetzer.
Anyone know how to change manual gears fast? Dear God😂
