That’s right it’s an electric Z, or as Gary dubbed it a “Zesla”. Meanwhile Robert may go by @Static_Livin but he’s zooming around with an all-time great: a 2002 Dodge Viper with a beefy 8 liter, v10 engine in classic red. I.C.E. vs E.V.! RED vs GREEN!

Bonus points just for having the Viper
A non crashed Viper

Handling
I was actually surprised by the viper. Maybe it’s just the driver but that thing rolled out so smooth.
They have incredibly long gears, which definitely help with a smooth roll out. I think 1st gear goes until almost 60mph!
Wide tires, stock HP and that loooooong 3.07 rear diff ratio make it pretty easy to launch.
@@Forza4You Urban legend is that they designed it specifically to max out the 0-60 time. They just go a little far into the gauge
Actually more surprised by that Tesla swap. What on earth did they do to complete kill the instant torque of an electric engine?
A little bit of the driver.. as well as it’s not even a full 500hp, with sticky tires and very wide tires. It’s going to want to hook.
Can we all just appreciate Viper drivers reaction time of the 2nd race where the Z had the hit. Dude can drag!
By far the best race I’ve seen in a hot minute! Pretty close in power and that bonus round was a testament! 🤘🏾💥 -Edgar
perfect chance to say… teslament
Took the words mate.
I didn't expect the Viper to grip so well off the line. Driver was on point with those shifts and kept reeling in that Nissan.
I’ve ridden in those first gen vipers, those 335s in the rear work phenomenally well. Even from a dig, the long gearing with that torque works so well
They also have over like 52% of the weight on the rear wheels. I had a gen 2 viper and it cut 1.6-1.7 60 foots stock. 2002 gts
that's what they are known for all that grip with such big tire and also why so many crashed them especially with no drivers assistance in it good grip high confidence one wrong move big danger
If they ran to the 1500 the viper had it hands down
100% that was not expected. Should have done a dig to 1000 feet every time
Watching that viper shift into second and start pulling on the z was bliss
That viper driver was amazing. You can hear its right at the limit of traction for every single shift, and it is a car notorious for stepping out in second or third gear if you don't know what you're doing and crashing lol
The Zesla for sure dropped the throttle early on the roll race! The viper surprised me. Awesome racing, even awesomER cars. Viper should have won, it seemed to be the faster car.
thanks for having me had a hell of a time hope to be back soon! 🙌🏽
Top tier driving my dude. Had my Viper 6 years now and I still can't launch her like that. You did Viper owners proud 👊
And like that, Viper lore was changed from erratic driver killers to smooth ass beasts
Great stuff man
@@Random12231 thank you viper homie much love 🥲🫶🏽🫶🏽
@@rogeliodiaz8559 thank you roger 🥲🫶🏽🫶🏽
Shout out to the Viper owner with them crispy shifts! 🤘🏿
That gear ratio though. I don't know if dude ever even touched 3rd.
Like that car......
@@TehShadowDeath gears were long as hell i think i only got to like the end of 3rd😂
@@TehShadowDeath well you can clearly hear him shift into 3rd. Even chirped it shifting into 3rd.
@@XploreAz the 3rd chirp was so satisfying
I was proud of the viper for holding his own and almost getting that W!
The Viper got the W. I mean, a roll?? I've spent a lot of time street racing. First it's 1/4 mile or more, second it's a standing start.
Viper real winner, we all know only digs really count
Well in that 3rd race the tesla was a bit ahead and going a bit faster at the start and the viper still almost ran it down. The Z is pretty cool too
Props to the viper driver.Smooth and crisp shifting , don't ever under estimate the dinosaurs. Would like to see the rematch soon . Best race ever, Thank you Hoonigan.
As a 90s kid, I’ll always have a soft spot for the first gen Viper.
remember there used to be a TV show called "Viper" :)
I can never forget when i was a kid, my dad and i were walking by this porter who was moving a 1st gen. Guy saw me eyeing the car, my dad spoke with him and he let me sit in it while he brought it around to the parking area. It was awesome.
Sorry not 1st Gen. That was 1991 🤣
First fast car I ever rode in at 17 was a 1999 GTS, blue with white stripes. Rode with a brain surgeon who road raced on the weekends. I left with the biggest shit eating grin.
2nd gen**
Let's be honest, that Viper was the real winner. I thought it would get smashed on. Props to the driver!
100%
Yep
Hellyea
Frfr plus they stopped him from doing another heads up race which they shouldn’t be able to do 😂💯💯💯
Agreed
I hope we see the viper back, he was so chill and that viper was surprisingly quick
Mad props to both of them, gave us one of the cleanest and best races in a hot minute. You love to see it when both drivers are smiling and showing love to each other, great sportsmanship.
The Viper guy is a really good driver, smooth fast shifts, quick reaction time. And good take off throttle management.
That Viper is clean. It’s nice to see something that is pretty much stock still run that hard.
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
@@Static_Livin good shit my dude, your car is sick!
Best race I've seen for ages. Two very different yet evenly matched cars and either driver was jumping the gun. And a stock Viper... it doesn't get much better than that.
Legit, the best This vs That you guys have done. That was such a close matchup. *chef's kiss*
Everyone: You couldn't possibly make a Z any heavier....
These guys: Hold my battery
Also that Z aint making 650... Its closer to 450 or 5... tq numbers sounds about right tho.
I wonder what the weight balance is
They're not heavy are they? I thought they're like 1500kgs?
@@realMaverickBuckley for how small they are they should really be 2-300lbs lighter
🤣
My guy drives that Viper like a Boss! A Gen. 1 Viper is no joke to drive.
They love poles and trees.
No joke ain’t the word I almost died 8 times in 30 mi. 😂😂 f those cars 😂😂😂
@@KiteAndKeyProductions go back to rudniks channel!😂
2002 Viper is not Gen 1.
@@sepg5084 exactly what I thought haha Gen 1 was more than 10 years prior, 1991 to be exact.
That was nuts how the Zesla started it’s donuts and no one noticed at first because it’s so quiet.
Kinda weird hearing a Tesla burnout 😳
I did not expect the viper to hook up this well. Great driving by the kid‼️
Good reaction times + no jumps = fair racing. It's good to see good sportsmanship with no egos, everyone having fun. Nicecly done jabronies! I see y'all heard the "More Ron" calls.
He jumped on the roll by a car lol watch again
@@paladain55 Was it a jump? or was that just the electric input being faster than combustion? (Genuine question, it just looks like the "insta-torque" to me)
@@Necron00b nope, dude didn't want to lose so he accelerated past the 20mph most likely, see ppl do that often, either way, no one was gonna say shit as they were all against the Viper.. Viper is clearly faster but congrats to both builds..
He was leading and didnt have a speedo of course he was speeding and going way faster
@@Necron00b Still gotta wait until after the line. He hit it before the line and got a car ahead lol
That Z was the quietest burn out I’ve ever seen.. and viper dude can drive. I’ve never seen a viper been handled like that. They usually end up in a ditch or wrapped around something
Dudes a decent wheel-man.
When ubsay in a ditch or wrapped around somthin you sure u not talkin bout the mustang community 🤔
@@DBHT2087 if you know that gen of vipers. They are really hard to control. Worst than the mustangs.
@@prpapy07 didn’t like 10% of them crash on the way home from the dealership or something
watching Mickey and Ricky here is so awesome!! as a Throtl subscriber, this is great! Kudos to both drivers, that's the spirit!! Loved this episode
This was a great few races! Best one ive seen in a while! love it
The viper didn't even lose by much when it started pullin.
straight facts, but with the safety of the 370z and with the roll in race, I would choose having the Z as far as if I could own one. The viper would have definitely pulled much farther if they did longer pulls but definitely seeing the Z as a funner car to own/drive. Both amazing cars
@@theglassarrow_ no
@@theglassarrow_ the z is such an amazing car to drive , so much fun
yeap, while being bone stock
Yea, no way that Z makes anywhere near 650... Closer to 400 or 450...
Dude in the viper was killing those reaction times 👌
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
4:50 - "Is that a Cisco net-server in there?!?" 😂
Such a good race, Corey, Gary and Micah are a vibe, keep it up!
That Viper guy didn't leave room for a single "I see you can read the brochure." jokes. I mean, you set it up by installing a Borla exhaust.
@@kurbuy21 good! now drive the damn thing it’s a car not a lawn ornament.
Where's a guy with Monte Carlo when you need him
Damn he deleted 💀
"this beast got 500 horsepower and a borla exhaust system, it does 0-60 in like 4.3 seconds ?"
This is what I like to see! Clean racing, interesting but fairly matched cars, good sportsmanship all around.
That viper will forever have its own place on a pedestal of beauty
I'm surprised the Zelsa can't get off the line. I have an electric van that snaps off the line! Should have instant torque. Must be a setting they need to configure.
Your van is a lot heavier than the z is.
@@calebwright9974 so what does that have to do with the torque?
More Viper content, please! That guy was very nice and his skills are some to be noted, plus the Viper is such a sick car.
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
@@Static_Livin Oi, buddy! Nice driving out there! 😌👍
This. Kudos to both drivers, this was so much fun to see!!!
He has a youtube @static livin I think
@@Static_Livin badass driving man I'm glad you did the viper justice out there 🤟
That Zesla is so nicely done that I can appreciate it. But the Viper has all the noise, feels, and the boy can drive. The childhood icon won my ❤️
Same, I was mostly on board until those donuts. Silent donuts are... pretty weak.
That may have been the most evenly matched, smooth races we've yet to see here! Good on you gents!
This have been my fav episode in a minute. The races were sooo close. Good match up fellas.
The viper won in my books. The Z needed the hit and then a roll to beat him.
I was thinking the exact same thing
Yep and first and last races (the bonus race) were both from digs and the viper won both. Vipers the real winner :)
Heads up is the only race that matters
Z clearly having traction issues, plus Viper takes the top end. This shows in the bonus race once the Z figured out how to launch better. If they wanted to optimize the Z for drag racing they'd go with a smaller lighter battery (i.e. sacrifice range) plus more rubber.
EXACTLY
I doubt Dude was even clutching in for that second gear. He KNOWS that car. Evidence: Those flawless doughnuts. Great races, great drivers, great episode.
One of the best races I've seen in this series. Hats off to the Viper guy, that was some damn fine driving!
Love me some Viper, he was rowin them gears. All great races and both were cool cats. Great episode guys
In 2002 those vipers ran 12.0 at 120 mph stock, impressive even for today!
with a 3.07 rear gear....
Wow ,didnt know that
Yep that was a bone stock viper with just exhaust…. Very impressive performance.
Finally a guy that can shift his car. This video was awesome.
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
@@Static_Livin I've always loved these style Vipers. Taking down that 350Z shows how great of a driver you are and how bad ass that Viper is.
@@Static_Livin it's actually you
Can we take a second to appreciate how clean both those dig starts were?? 👌🏼 Beautiful synchronized launches. Good clean racing 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
God, I love this series, it always showcases the best of the most creative, always a joy to watch a new one
Viper driver definitely consistent with launching and shifts. W all day
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Ones of the best races yet....loved it. Props to the Viper driver, he was awesome!
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
That viper sounds amazing 🔥. Love the green on the Z. Great races for both drivers!
Now this is one of the coolest races (match up) you have done in a while
Bro I clinched when Gary threw those cans, I swear he didn't even know the Subbie was there lol
Sameeeee
Bruh, I was the same way... I'm about to win this sticky subbie with NOS on it lol
Viper, 30 years and still legendary, she always win in my heart.
I was literally thinking to myself the day this come out and was like " I wonder when the next this vs that is coming out"? And here it is.
Both sweet cars and really chill drivers as well! Super fun to watch!
Huge Throtl fan but that Viper has my heart. That guy is today's legend for driving that RT-10 that hard 🤘
That 8liter V10 sounds beautiful, music to my ears!
This was a lot closer than I thought it was going to be. Just looking at the cars and power plants I didn’t think the viper stood a chance. Dude launched it like a pro!
Love this video love this race thank you hoonigan for another great video
Gary is the ultimate hype guy 🙌🏻
It doesn't feel forced either, just genuine Gary 🤙🏻
Viper needs to comeback once heads and cams is installed 👀
"Other then the one of one body kit Gary. That's a great question" lmao Ron.
So impressed by the way he handles that Viper! Ain't fooling around with big HP and no skill! A treat to see these cars battling it out 👍
The z had a full car lead when they came through on the last roll. The viper is clearly the faster car
About half the roll starts on these are total shit. I don't know why they bother if they can't do it right
Yep.
agreed, it was the winner in my book.
This is probably my favorite episode of this vs that so far. Cool modern conversion of a jdm icon, old school American v10, and the racers were both so chill and seemed genuinely excited to be there.
It seems so weird to see someone say old school American V10 😂. Like they are so much less common.
@@micmc23000 Eh, a 20 year old example of anything is definitely old school.
The best part of the race is that it's a quiet Z so all you hear is that glorious Viper! These old 8.0L sound so good! That 1-2 shift I agree is good! And I also love the Zesla. 2 totally different beasts
The grandpa Simpson reference before the viper whipped them donuts was cool AF👊 well played editors, well played indeed.
Both of those donuts were interesting to watch, you have the Zestla doing the quietest smoke show ever, and the Viper taking a walk in the part barely off idle with all of it's V10 bottom-end torque.
yeah, Z might've won the race because they had to make it equal, but that viper still shows its presence demands respect
It got out the hole real quick!
Only good car dodge ever made.
@@dontrustwhiteyevery1 lmao you have to be joking😂😂
closes race we ever seem in the channel, good match up guys!
This matchup was on point!
In my books the viper was clearly the winner 🏆👏
The Viper, and that driver, still won in my book.
Viper guy just out for a good time, we love to see it. Can't wait to see him back once he gets some top end work 👀
That was a fun match up. Viper blew me away. Nice!
I can't help but notice this episode had a flow to it, almost like when it first came out...oh yeah,it's because Ron was here!!!!!
morRon!
Just hearing the screeching tires during a burnout w/ no exhaust note is insanely weird. I hated every second of that.
These were all good races cool to see the Viper can still hang
Great video, Thanks for sharing. Would be cool to see The Hoonicorn vs TRC's Red Demon. Let's Go! This Vs That! 8D
That Viper had great top end acceleration, I think the updated version of the Tesla Z that Throtl recently built (it has the performance pack on the EV motor now) may be slightly different result. Impressive mod to the 350z that's for sure
Interesting is a nice way to put it
Well the Viper was never meant for drag racing... it only has a 3.07 rear end ratio which is why it pull on the top so well....
I thought it was slow cause a Tesla is hella fast
Still gotta respect the O.G viper
One of the best races in a while for sure.
I love how this isolated the V10 audio. cleanest sound I've heard on these.
Viper guy killed it👊
A 350z totally shreddin tyres doing almost silent donuts had me trippin🙃
Hands down that’s one of the best drivers I’ve seen in a viper
The V10 sounds at the end are some of the best around!!
Viper driver did a great job. Nothing like the roaring sound of a true muscle car. Viper all the way!!
The Z won the 2nd round and then they made the 3rd round even easier for it? Seems weird but fun combo to see race!
That’s what I’m sayin lol
pretty sure they assumed the z would run out of top in a roll.
@@mycosys not at the low speed they rolled too
They’re promoting everyone to buy an electric car
Throtl is their business partner now so... what do you expect?
Viper still awesome 20 years later 👍
Niice racing 🏁 here from an unlikely Duo! Love it!!
By far one of the best matches 🤘🏽
The viper knew heads up he would win for sure 🤣✊🏽 both truly amazing cars and the guy in the viper has the money shift
The 0-60 in first gear for the viper just makes it deadly. Plus heads up it will beat the Zesla.
OooH The Whispering Donut
Nice one
I like when both drivers aren't taking the race so seriously. Both are trying to leave at the right time, no jumping, and just trying to make it a good race.
Viper honestly deserved to win. The driver was just too nice and not aggressive/strategic enough on the asks.
ill never get over how strange an electric car looks and sounds doing a burnout.
I wonder what people will think about this comment 1000 years from now?🤔
@@zekeyeager1458 probably wonder wtf a car is.
watching the viper do wheel spins during shifts is just fucking cool
