Text mistake guys, it’s a BRZ 🥶🥶🥶not an Elantra!
Nice video! That’s not a 2022 GLI tho
Hold on for all the comments about it Sam lmao
No worries it was good for a laugh. Great shifting with the Miata!
🤣
Do you want a rear wheel drive Elantra? .😆😆
Since everyone is putting in requests, i'd like to see Integra A-Spec vs old man in wheelchair.
😂😂😂 bruhh
Honestly it would be a close one! 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
My neighbor has a turbocharger on his wheelchair.. 300hp .. he really moves!!!!!
@@brianreardon7700 bro the fart boost is like 20psi 💨
Holy crap that body kit on that Elantra N looks just like a BRZ 😆!
😂
Lol!
😂😂
i saw this comment and i was shitting myself
There is no Elantra on this video..
With all due respect, a driver mod is desperately needed for the BRZ. From a dig those results are wildly different from others that have tested the Miata and the new Brz to my knowledge. Could be wrong.
Yeah. It's probably a delicate ass fanboy. Like that's cool and all. And he doesn't want to launch hard. But why even volunteer for these races if he won't even try? Like dude. Stay home with that princess attitude.
True...
That BR driver sucks!
there’s always at least one driver that’s noticeably worse than the others and it always throws the whole race off
That Elantra N @ 12 seconds looks a bit off
Besides that, a bunch of other videos comparing the brz and miata, the brz tends to win from a dig. This must be a really bad driver
Really shocked at the BRZ pulling out the win in the roll races.
The brz is faster than a miata, the driver is terribly slow though. They were taking too long to shift, and had slow take offs. You should check out other channels where they compare the 2
@@michaeldominguez9553 I was more surprised it beat the jetta than the miata. Just didn't think it would pull from it in the top end
Not me. It's basically faster than the Honda S2000
No surprises here. Terrible driver in the BRZ. There are videos of the BRZ sticking with a STI. It’s basically 95% a Honda S2000
@@michaeldominguez9553 Very small difference in acceleration between the Miata and the BRZ.
That's not a 2022 GLI. The front grill/facia was redesigned and the wheels were slightly altered. That is the 2019- 2021 design. 2022 model also has slightly more power. Why are you misleading your viewers?
That's right this is max 2021 GLI ...I just have mine 2022 delivered ....different front bottom grill ...different digital dashboard. ...a bit more HP ....
I like how people say the new GR86/BRZ are too slow, but never say that about the GLI/WRX. Because the GR86/BRZ has nearly the same quarter mile times as those cars.
probably because it's a 2 door sports car coupe. The old one was definately too slow but the new one has redeemed itself as being decent now power wise.
I have one, I just think another 30 extra hp/tq would be perfect. Maybe headers + e85 and tune
@@1Solace or larger final gear
A few races I'd really love to see...
1. 22 GLI vs 22 GTI
2. 22 GLI vs 19-21 GLI
2. Stock GLI vs Tuned GLI
yes
Fastest 0-60s I've seen for these are 5.4 for the BR-Z, 5.7 for the Miata, and 6.1 for the GLI. Thinking the driver of the BR-Z wasn't launching/shifting very well. Side note, what a world we live in where a Miata is now legitimately quick.
All generations of Miata are quick with a bottle of Nitrous :) My dad drag raced an NB generation in the 11s before he was kicked off the track due to not having a roll cage. The motors are strong for turbos/nitrous. But of course, modified vs not is an endless argument. Stock ND is definitely not bad!
i haven't even seen the race yet but just looking at those stupid slammed wheels with camber. i'm sure that's just fantastic for getting power down
BRZ driver couldn’t drive to save his life
**disclaimer** BRZ driver had previously done a total of 1 dig in his car prior to this race (according to a video he posted on his channel).
Actually he has done a total of 1/2
Sam, once again stellar job in showcasing the performance of these cars, all outstanding in their own right. For those of you unfamiliar, this isn’t the first time Sam has used the Mk7 GLI to measure the performance metrics of other vehicles. Says a lot about how good the VW really is.
Unfortunately VW Jetta is cheaply made in Mexico so I won't buy it.
@@braetonwilson4296 at the same time research shows VW made in Germany were more faulty than the ones made in Mexico. Guess jokes on u
@@braetonwilson4296 it's not, that's a myth.
That, because something is made in Mexico it's bad, when they have some of the most skilled labourers in auto manufacturing, they're famous for being easily trained, the mexicans
@@braetonwilson4296 and good luck with oil consumption problems. Also good luck when the warranty expires.
@@JAM_2024 exactly!
Sam your energy is infectious, this was a great matchup and fun video, straight and to the point. Love it!!
Thanks again for having me Sam, definitely need to practice those launches but regardless I had an amazing time!
Imagine if Mazda put a turbo on the 2.0…
seeing a VW Jetta GLI pull like that in a drag race is hilarious
Why?
Why would it be funny? GLI's are legit fast especially if you get em tuned lol
You couldnt find a stock BRZ to make it a valid comparison?
The coilovers killed it
Seems like BRZ was slower from dig because it has negative camber
Nah because the driver can't drive
@@gorageelsewhere1946 because tilting a wheel sideways so only part of the tread touches the ground is great for putting down power amirite
Mazda all the way,,,impressive small sport car,,,i own a 15 cx5 and the mx5 will be on my list as a secondary car,,👍great race Sam
Was there a lot of difficulty in launching the brz ? It seemed real slow from a dig but did well from a roll
Driver's skill plays a major factor when getting these cars of the line in a dig race!
It can put down some great times on a track for those that know how to race fast and keep the speed and momentum up too.
Somebody earlier mentioned that he may have a gen 1 uel on with no tune. It’s possible that because there is no tune available yet for the gen 2 twins that he is slower than stock gen 2 twins. There have been several RUclips channels showing stock gen2 BRZs beating Miata’s even on a dig.
No one can really drive on this channel
@@romeropostali520 Honestly. A lot of bad driving and cheesy content, but sometimes there are interesting match ups. I think the best overall car channel is Throttle House. Especially if you enjoy humor mixed in.
The brz has an air suspension, lots of unnecessary added weight. Probably is not tuned as well with the uel header. Should have asked for a stock brz.
yea that guy is more into stance than performance
It does not have air suspension. I watch his videos
This is why when I buy my new gr86, I will do zero mods. I will keep it stock!
@@danielkimura6918 whats the name of his channel?
@@nikooliver1 Chris Borges
Great race Sam! Really showed the importance of the various testing scenarios.
I'm very impressed by the Miata
Would love to see a Civic Si Battle on this channel. 9th gen si sedan ( I own one ) vs 10 gen si sedan vs 11th gen si sedan.
As usual AWESOME vids Sam !
Interested to know what exhaust mods the BRZ. It sounds like it has UEL headers and, as no tune is out for the BRZ yet, it may not be tuned for them. This may be a slower than stock (but better sounding) BRZ. Most stock dynoed BRZs are indicating 240hp flywheel or more. Almost identical power to weight as an S2000 with significantly better torque. I think a stock BRZ may have won the digs too.
I’ve seen two experienced drivers race those cars around a track and the BRZ was 0.6s faster lol. Then again it can come down to the driver, but it’s cool to know it can compete.
The BRZ is definetly slower with those stupid mods and having no proper tune to make up for the extra air… and then he decides to race.
GR86 eats them for breakfast all day long.
(Stock to stock)
I still don't understand why Subaru or Toyota didn't help the BRZ be what everyone wanted it to be. Missed opportunity for such a nice looking and good handling car. Great video.
For 2 reasons. Mostly cost. This is by far the best handling car for the price. And one of the best handling cars under 100k. Huge upgrade potential and great looks. Anything more in performance will cost more. And 2, if they increased performance, both Toyota and subaru would be competing with their own products. Supra 2.0 and wrx.
I think mostly cause people are going to modify them anyways
Don’t judge the Brz based off this video lol
It now has its own category, plus off the factory the WHP is higher than what was rated.
All in all, there is nothing like this. For pure enthusiast and not crying babies 😢 😭 who need to only go 0-100 as their only way to drive.
@@jaydenblain3599 not only that, reliability. Ford and Camero reliability is dirt shit compared to Subaru and Toyota. Is no comparison at all.
Dual clutch erased the > 500 lbs weight disadvantage of the gli.
Until the roll.
The roll race first was even and second the BRZ barely edged and the GLI was not using manual mode or it would have easily won. On automatic mode the GLI will auto upshift. On launch control and manual mode it lets the rpms go higher. The GLI certainly was the faster car in these
@@glistud8178 Ha ha ha. The GLI got severely gapped on the roll races. And it had the DSG! LMAO!
@@jamessephar9458 Severly gapped? the only gapping that happened here was the dig races where a FWD GLI ruined RWD BRZ. First roll race it was all even second roll the BRZ barely edged and that is due to the GLI Not using manual mode on the DSG. It would have been the same results as dig races if it did. Can you imagine the GLI kept up on a roll while auto upshifting at 5krpm/ LLOLLOOL No wonder ur so mad
@@glistud8178 Sorry dude, your mexican made GLI is no comparison to the Mazda or BRZ. Okay 'GLI STUD', ROFLMAO!!!
BRZ, noisier but no go!!. What’s the point?.
Great video. I have a 22 GLI (ROW SPEC) and there is no way it only has 228 HP - coming from a 15’ 335 I thought I was going to miss the sheer speed. The GLI just moves and LOVES being driven hard.
19 gli owner here and i love every second of it
That Brz is Schweeeeeeet the way he modded that
I’ll take that over all those with that exhaust
Sheesh
Sounded crap yeah..
@@hondatrix yeah wrong 😂
@@hondatrix it's almost like.. It's his opinion, wow
That mx5 will hurt some feelings at a stoplight, or an 1/8 mile strip.
The MX-5 can beat or match pretty much anything in a 50m drag race, Limited slip, light weight and good weight distribution go a long way.
No it can't. Any AWD auto/DCT will demolish it off the line
@@UmarTheGreat10 I have raced a few who wish that was true.
@@petermartin9494 check 0-30 mph times from any car website. That shows how fast a car launches. Many cars faster than a miata lol
@@UmarTheGreat10 "Any" auto AWD DCT is bullshit, unless you or some other idiot who does not know how to drive is driving the Miata.
@@petermartin9494 you said the miata can beat pretty much any car to 50m but it can't. There are MANY that will absolutely annihilate it off the line and that's a fact
Awesome video!
As soon as I saw the GLI had the dual clutch tranny, I knew exactly who was taking that race
It lost the true test of speed"roll"
@@TheBb6prelude LOL! In a roll, gotta downshift into the right gear before hitting the gas. Seems like dude just left the dsg in sport? I have a GTI and my wife has a GLI. In a roll, gotta downshift into the right gear first but when U do it just flies forward!
Regrettably the is20 turbo on the GTI and gli have crap for top end. Relying on a 4 bangers long stroke design isn’t really helping matters beyond say 80-90mph too
That new 86’s exhaust sounds so dang good at wide open though. I feel like no one’s really mentioning how great it sounded. I’m sure the existence of this new 86 will make for a better stronger Miata come next gen
@@SheekTresSesenta I saw the GLI has red anodized paddles and the driver was banging away on them during the rolls, don't know exactly what he was doing....
That being said, a simple JB4 on that GLI will have it slaughtering the 2 NA cars no sweat!
I had a Mk7 GTI DSG w/JB4....freaking monster for a 4 banger! Unreliable AF though....back in a Japanese car now.
@@TheBb6prelude what? True test of speed
@@jasonw8124 having nice paddle shifters doesn’t mean a person knows what gear to be in. Though I’ll give em the benefit of the doubt
Statistically. All the cars on the road that are 250k miles plus are typically German and Subaru. At least the very very vast majority of them. The new update on these statistics should be out and available in a few weeks though
Only Japanese manufacturer that’s been in the top 5 has been Subaru. Then there’s all the German bois
Not saying this makes it reliable. Just saying, doesn’t seem like Japanese cars are more than disposable
🤷🏽♂️
Crazy how the VW won the dig but lost the roll. I would have thought the other way around.
With even driver skill it would have been this way.
@@wayward03 gti is fr and heavier. I assumed it would be slower
@@mm8436 I meant that it should be as you thought. Depending on tires and length of drag the GTI/GLI will beat the 86 but it comes from behind to do it. It should never lose from a roll(in wrong gear the exception)
Was exciting real fun I with you on that. I think Sam is getting better in the Mazdas but really honestly that was fun.
People in the comments don't understand weight, HP vs torque. Well some of you do.
Man that GLI is a beast. Funniest part is that it holds a better track record than both these cars LOL.
Everyone complains about certain drivers launching their cars but this is the most accurate dig racing because in the real world you’re not going to encounter professional drivers. You will be in your car and no matter what you believe you’re not a professional driver and the person next to you at the light will be an average driver in their car. If you guys decide to race there is no excuses at the end about missed shifts or not having traction control turned off. You get one shot and you either win or lose , sometimes the faster car loses.
I like Sam's desperate shouting when he is being passed lol
That MX-5 sounds amazing!!
It sounds modified, right? Hopefully we're not hearing artificial noise. 2400 pounds with 180 HP sounds like the old Civics/Integras.
You can basically only hear the BRZ but okay
Dat NA Brz sounding nasty!! Stunned on the roll race results. And Sam with those 1980's short shorts!
Pretty sure the brz has beaten the Miata in every other test I’ve seen off the line. At least it got some justice in the rolls
Civic SI vs Elantra N Line would be an awesome video
i think sam already did that search through the channel i think it was a 3 car drag so it would be the n line the si and some other car
Is Mazda the new BMW? Lying about horsepower?? 😎. BRZ is now up for sale 🙂
No it's just really light. They don't dyno high
You’re gonna let poor launches effect your judgment , I mean it’s good Miata lunches vs somehow-terrible BRZ launches , you can it’s bad if you’ve seen other videos of the same comparison.
brz definately has the legs on the top end, even with that very botched shift on the second roll. I was surprised it pulled on the gli.
Cool cars. Love the MX-5 and GLI. Also, nice Heuer Monaco on your wrist.
Once again the GLI shows what a beast it really is! Thank you Sam. I believe the GLI would have preformed better on roll if he used manual mode. Automatic mode on GLI is horrible as the DSG autoupshifts
A mini dog beast, LOL.
After a stage 1 and some proper summer rubber they are absolutely stupid fast!
@@jamessephar9458 That is on a 10 year old platform and still ruins brand new Japanese supposedly sports car around a track and straight line. Jesus that is embarassing
@@glistud8178 Lol, You think a GLI is faster than a MX-5 or BRZ around a track 🤣🤣. Also GLI had a DSG and a turbo engine. DSG is way faster at changing gears compare to a person shifting a manual trans.
@@silimarina. the GLI is faster than both on the track the test has been done my professional drivers and the GLI holds the better timing of the both. You clearly have no idea what ur saying 😅😅😅
BRZ driver just sucks at launching. That is the faster car by far.
the GLI is the fastest car. The GLI was on automatic mode on the roll races meaning the car was auto upshifting at lower RPMS. If he used manual mode on the DSG the results would have been the same as the dig races
@@glistud8178 Wishful thinking. The GLI is a fat slob and is only even moderately quick with a girly transmission. Make it a fair fight with a manual GLI and they would have needed another camera to see it from all the way back there. The BRZ makes the same horsepower with 450# less weight.
Would be great if you could include the RaceBox numbers too, so we could see how these cars compare in real life versus just the numbers.
The GLI is not 2022. 22 models got a facelift.
Earned a sub. +like! Love it!
That Elantra looks great in that colour…
That brz is loud! 🔥
That second race you had a great launch In the Miata!
Is this the same GLI that's always been on the channel? Or am I just that amazed by the BRZ pulling away in the rolls? Let's get that Accord in here make it 4 wide lol they all might be neck and neck
BRZ pulling on rolls had to do with the DSG in the GLI auto upshifting. under 5k rpm. Automatic mode on that car sucks. You need to put yourself in the right gear with manual mode then let it rev to almost 6k. And no this was a diff GLI newer driver. They also use the heaviest version of GLI as that is the only one available in CANDA
The Brz sounded great!! and looked amazing those are 2 wins right there lol!
Yeah at this point I’m never buying a BRZ.
No complaints. Good race👍
I would wanna suggest a 4g eclipse gt 6 speed manual, vs brz or frs, vs Ecoboost
Nice race indeed but i was hoping Elantra 2.0 to be included
I can now speak from experience having owned both an mk7 gli and a 23 brz. Gli wins everytime from a dig but brz gaps from a roll. Theyre quite impressive up at 7000 rpm
Sam I would like to see altima vs accord vs sonata vs fusion with base engines
If I was driving that GLI thats BRZ wouldn’t be next to me. He’d be staring at my taillights
What happens to the 86 at the start? Both times
That BRZ on a roll tho
It’s very good watching that Miata destroying does vehicle! Very good car
Do you think you could do a Gli vs 320i
Woooow, the BRZ!! Sounds incredible and pulls hard! Needed driver mod from the dig, though...
the mazda with that huge antenna looks like RC car
I don’t think the gli is a good car to compare to the other two. VW isn’t aiming for the same buyer
Sam what is in that GLI? It's heavy it's 228 HP yet it beats these cars?
Forget hp mate, think torque and at what rpms.
I wish to see Abarth 124 spider race some day
Need to change drivers every race ?
I've never met a BRZ that wanted to be an Elantra N so bad until now.
why does the BRZ want to be an Elantra N?
Can you do a GT86 vs GR86? Please no one ever posted one
Sometimes racing cars that are a bit slower is more fun, especially if all manual
You should really have experienced drivers driving each car when you do these races. Almost every race I watch on this channel there are always people complaining about one of the drivers, and rightfully so. If you want to accurately compare cars you need experienced drivers driving them.
bla bla bla. it's people driving their own cars which is perfectly fine.
This ain't no scientific test. It's just some car enthusiasts having some fun.
Is this the same track that Throttle House uses?
Nice race didn’t think The miata would take the win for the drag but maybe we can see some compact car race like Honda Civic vs Mazda 2.5 non turbo
is that Chris lowpes's BRZ??
Driver of the brz needs a little more practice on launching
Sheesh, Brz needs a driver mod
Let's also consider that drag is the mx5's weak point, add some turns and the mx5 is gonna destroy the competition.
That was fun
Brz driver learned to drive manual 5 minutes before the race
I want a 3rd gen Acura TL racing something an accord a tlx or a type s 3rd gen vs tlx type s pleaseeee
thought the brz would be 2nd on the take off. how about older cars from 06-10 challenge?
The owner gave the brz negative camber for looks. I kills a vehicles ability to put it's power down
imagine getting that exhaust on your brz to get gapped by a miata
interesting i dont get it the BRZ has the same horsepower as the GLI and is lighter but is much slower than both of them 🤔
What's up sam! I'm the 6th comment on this video! Cool!!!! Great races keep up the good work!
If a Miata out dragged my sports car, I'd sell it.
Sell it and buy a Miata.
Mazda and subaru are bombs! Thanks Sam!you do a great job for fun-driving!
The GLI shouldn't be in this comparison. It has absolutely nothing in common with the other two. I'd like to see a BRZ vs GR86 comparison, since many reviewers claim the Toyota is tuned better.
Lol😂 can so tell guy in BRZ isn't even trying to drive it the way it should be driven
The gli used launch control??????
The "Subaru" says Hyundai Elantra 😂
Really cool race! Fun cars!❤
Comes do to driver mod. My friend just bought a 2022 mx5. It's a sleeper. He easily beaten supras, 370s, q50, charger scat packs. He almost beat a GTR and rx7. Don't sleep on these mx5.
And then he woke up. 😅
When are we going to see the 2.0 Supra on this channel? I promise you it is the most slept on 4 banger on the market. 0-60 in 4.8, top speed of 155, weighing in at 3200 lbs. It is the most under appreciated 4 cylinder on the market in terms of speed. The Accord 2.0 could slightly beat the 330i from a roll and lost from a dig. Now imagine that same engine with 700 lb less and shorter gears. it will likely destroy the currently popular Elantra N and nobody is giving that car attention.
I can’t find one :( if u know anyone in Toronto ON Canada please let me know
That brz had a tune and he only turned it on on the roll race
