The world would be a better place if auto journalists never did another drag race comparison. What a completely useless metric, especially in the age of Tesla.

Of all the drag race comparisons, at least carwow does rolling races and stuff. What the heck does a Tesla have to do with any of this?

Shame they couldn't get a working M5C to include in the test. A 12.7 1/4 means it was fighting with one cylinder tied behind its back.
Also, hardly fair to test the M5C with the boat anchor wheels while the other two were rolling on much lighter forged wheels. Oh well, I'm sure BMW won't mind Carwow helping to steer buyers into even more expensive models. |

Question for an M5 owner, is the M8 actually quicker than an M5 Comp? This video doesn't sit right with me. I'm sure they have the same engine and drivetrain.

I think the Launch Control is more consistent in the M8 and that makes all difference in these drag races.
And M8 is not lighter than the M5, unless I have got that wrong. |

JOKE that M5 Comp was being driven with 95 E10 fuel in it.
This is what it should be doing. Look from 13 minutes if you want to see the performance.

This race was so silly. Something was def either wrong with the M5C or the driver.
