Very interesting video. I can not tell which car really won at the end of the quarter mile. Look at the shadow casted by the headlights. It seems as even as it can get. I wonder why in all such videos, the camera man is NEVER at the end of the run, which is what really matters. Or at least have someone else recording at the other end to clearly show which car really won.
On another note, the driver of the Viper missed his/her launch. Even then, it shouldn’t have been a problem for the Dodge to catch up in hurry, since you can take the Viper to 70MPH in first gear before you hit redline. It should have required only 1 gear shift to reach quarter mile and well above 100MPH.
