Does Size Matter? Lexus LFA v Dodge Viper: DRAG RACE

A new carwow video usually has a first day of a little under seventy thousand views. "Does Size Matter? Lexus LFA v Dodge Viper: DRAG RACE" started at about sixteen times that pace. It is now the busiest video on a channel that, two days earlier, was being led by the new Audi RS5.

The title's question is about engines. Both cars use a naturally aspirated V10 and send their power to the rear wheels, but the Viper's engine is nearly twice the size of the Lexus's. The description adds that this fourth-generation Viper ACR has had a light tune and uses a manual gearbox, while the LFA uses an automatic. The money runs the other way. By the description's figures, the Lexus is now worth several times as much as the Dodge.

That gap has a history. The LFA was built for only a few years in a strictly limited run, and it is remembered above all for the sound of its high-revving V10. The ACR is the Viper's track-focused edition. The two cars are lined up for one of the drag races that Mat Watson, whose name opens the channel's about text, has made a carwow staple.
