Awesome, thank you

M4 over a 500hp barge in the Z28

Couldn't believe the i8 held up so well!

alexc93 · 09-29-2014, 07:29 AM

guy in the Z28 doesn't know how to use door handles

clbmw · 09-29-2014, 07:31 AM

i8 impressive especially initially, I wonder how the i9 will square up in 2016... I'd hope it's in front of a 911 Turbo S

phoenixbmwlife · 09-29-2014, 07:44 AM

I'm also impressed with the i8. Damn that electric car is fast I can only imagine what the i9 will do.

P car demonstrating how it's done there even against the mother of all, the great Godzilla. Not bad for the Z28, i8 did pretty good too. Was the M4 a DCT?

Osirisman · 09-29-2014, 07:47 AM

I'm pressed with i8 and m4 over z28.
Also that Alfa 4c did pretty damn good as well.

M4 looks good.

Respect for z28 which still has a human operated transmission.

stressdoc · 09-29-2014, 08:08 AM

The M4 had a horrible start. Took it a while to reel in the i-8 and Z-28. AWD gives the Porsche & GTR a huge advantage.

I like the hour-long tape that goes through the whole test.

Tough to compare apples to oranges; Fiesta vs. P-car turbo...

I think the Z2M would fare well here. Maybe the i-9. But the P 918 looks unbeatable.

That Porsche is a crazy monster!!!

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't The Word's Greatest Drag Race every year always comprised of the contenders from the Best Driver's Car field?

V1.47fan · 09-29-2014, 08:26 AM

The track car (Z28) lost to the muscle car (M4) in straight line racing.

Diver · 09-29-2014, 08:29 AM

Golf?

Pu-94 · 09-29-2014, 08:30 AM

Nice!

BMV///M3 · 09-29-2014, 08:57 AM

Nice showing for the M4. Was hoping it would pull the Jag but pretty good for being at a big hp advantage. Nice to see the GTR toppled, that Turbo S is a thing of beauty.

No manual available on the turbo s so it had to be pdk.
