I'm glad you switched cars for the second race. The second race was much closer than the first which was a much bigger gap. I'd say that has a lot to do with the driver!

Driver error on that first race, glad it was in proper hands for the second, which is outcome I was expecting. I was in a F80 M4 running some roll races with a M5 of similar year and the race was dead to 90ish but over 100 the M5 just walked away (like it should be). Fun test, I love U Drags!

@AndyBettencourt Год назад

As a former autoxer and road racer, I'd love to see a video on the behind the scenes production of U-Drags. It must take more than a few practice runs to establish the braking points and then at least a few actual runs of each race so that you can lock in the perfect pivot at the far end by both drivers.

@johnnyboy1586 Год назад

The new front end on the M3 has really grown on me love how the raised lines of the hood run down to th edge of the grill😊

@pol.86 Год назад

wow you can really feel the shifts in the m8 the zf8 looks like its clamping really hard instead of rolling into each grear

@ALMX5DP Год назад

Transmission technology I feel dont get much credit in comparison to the engine, but it’s evident that the improvements made in that respect over the past couple decades is huge. I believe both of these have torque converter style automatics so its crazy how well they launch and shift given their history of being referred to as slush boxes.

@andrewthehedgehog911 10 месяцев назад

@@ALMX5DP The torque converter locks above a certain speed for efficiency. the ZF can be programmed to dump the clutches in the planetary gearset so you get those kicks that almost feel like dual-clutch transmissions. I've once had a faulty vw passat transmission from 2006 that would utterly slam the clutches shut and would spin up the wheels from 1st to 2nd. 2nd to 3rd felt like a f1 shift xD

@groundedgaming Год назад

Amazing video! I love the U-Drag. It reflects the car so much better than Drag races, by including braking and cornering, but I understand that booking a track is not very feasible, so sometimes Drag strip is all you can do. Wish U-Drag would be more widely adopted instead of Drag race. Tracktimes are still the most accurate though! The choice of car is nice, but I think they could be better if you compared M4, against M8 since they have the same body style. I also think each driver could have a bit more runs in each car.

@salehabuhameedah5316 Год назад

You guys are best!!! Please keep showing bmw!!!

@mikelyon5595 Год назад

The M8 is gorgeous! I'd guess the 992 Turbo S would give the 765 a hard time...

@billshoe22191 Год назад

Absolutely love U Drag races. If it’s not too dorky, could you guys consider putting tire info/spec in the video as I am always curious about what they are running? I know some cars now come on as some cars come with Cup (R) tires, etc, which really offer an edge. Keep up the amazing work!

Having an M8 Comp, I'm curious about the actual car/engine setup as nothing they did or showed looked correct except maybe putting it in a generic setting (possibly why launch control did not work), and what does launch control have to do with a 3rd or 4th gear shift? Perhaps he meant to say traction control?

@jad4ca Год назад

Seems like they should’ve either compared the M4CX with the M8 coupe or the M3CX with the M8 gran coupe. Maybe the weight differences between each platform’s siblings is negligible but that seems like it would make a little more sense. Great races & content!

@edmundscars Год назад

The M8 is only available in Competition guise, and the M3 used is an xDrive-equipped model.

@jad4ca Год назад

@@edmundscars Understood. What I meant is you should’ve compared a 2-door with another 2-door OR a 4-door with another 4-door since both of these platforms come in either configuration. Nevertheless, really appreciate the great content! Very entertaining as always! Thank you

@wittypoet976 Год назад

@@qwertyqwerty-zi6dr In my opinion， the M6 or M8 V8 will make you a little bit scarred！Because the heavier weight and much more power， it is not easy to drive，and you need pay more attention to control the V8， when you push harder，you can really know what M power V8 exactly it is！It is a real beast！
