The Giulia is the most beautiful looking 4-door sedan out there and If you don't agree your opinion is wrong.
My opinion is right as I share yours!
@@Tonewheelsmile This is the way
My 2011 Cadillac CTS looks better than both 😂
@@Cinnamon535 nah, that's BS, you drive a grandpa car
@@Cinnamon535 doesn't that Cadillac look like a 2007 Nissan Sentra?
People underestimate how quick those alfas are
Najbrži krug na ringu u svjetu
Like 40 years ago my neighbor had an Alfetta. It was one of the fastest cars I had seen. I loved the engine sound.
Own both a Giulia and Stelvio 2.0s - they’re absolute beasts, no doubt.
This is not a fair race. The new TLX is heavy AF so that's the reason why its slow slow. I bet you if you put the 10th Gen Honda Accord 2.0 Turbo, it will probably keep up or beat the Alfa..
@@bj10jgo actually according to the stats the printed at the beginning of the vid the alfa is 6lbs heavier has 8hp more and 26 lbs ft more torque
I will say by owning a 22 Guilia Q4. The difference between Normal mode and Sport mode is INSANE. Such a fun car to drive!
Revs way higher in Dynamic
Nice video, is cool to see a "normal" Giulia against other cars, and not german.
It's because the Alfa already kicked the crap out of the Germans.
Agreed!
@Zoran Novosel same I really wanna see that
I want to see Giulia vs Supra 2.0. Same I-4 engine, Italy vs Japan 🔥
@@dsheen3637 that’s a good one
Can we take a moment and appreciate the fact that this one man, not 2 or 4 team member, made all these videos possible. That takes dedication and hard work. I don’t care who wins or looses, I thank you sir for making all these drags possible for us to watch them. We enjoy a Ferrari dragging a Lambo 😂🤣but nothing is more enjoyable than watching cars we can actually afford.
Thank you!
Ah, that sad look on his face when he said "that Giulia". Priceless... :)
But really, the Alfa is something special. Such an underrated brand unfortunately.
Own a 2020 Giulia I can tell you there is a huge difference between Dynamic and normal it's all in the trans programing.
Sam you keep saying that the Acura is losing because the Alfa has more horse power as an excuse. It is an 8hp difference and that Acura beat down cannot be excused over 8hp.... 😂
Acura has 700lbs more than alfa🙄
@@xilai7075 the full curb weight difference is only around 100lbs...not sure where you are getting 700lbs.
The Acura is just that bad
@Xi Lai so then not the horse power. Thanks for confirming my comment. You're a bit dim huh.
Depent most euro cars hide hp saying 280 when put on dyno read 300
The acura had to much weight with the little trees on the mirror lol 😆
Who the hell does that??? Car must smell awful!
@@sleeksilver some states it's illegal to have called blocking the view.
@@sleeksilver my car actually smells great tyvm 😘 those freshners are worn out so I just stack another one on top
I would love to see you do a comparison between 2022 Genesis G70 and the new Acura TLX Type S!
It’s coming 😍
G70 wins comfortably
Unfortunately the type s is slow asf against its rival, u mean 0-60 in 4.9 seconds wtf, it's rival the BMW M340I does it 4.1 seconds
@@nallis01 unfortunately that's true, what a disappointment that car is, the BMW M340I and AMG C43 is rushing that type S EASILY
@@the_batmobile0.4
And whats crazy is that the TLX is actually the same size as 5 series...not a 3 series
Drove German (BMW) for 26 years. Now own from new a 2020 Gulia Ti Sport in Missiano Blue. Its a beast, so quick in Dynamic you really feel the G. I'm gonna keep it for say another 2 years maybe and trade in for a Gulia Qudrafoglio. Dont think I'll be bother getting German with these affordable Italian rockets.
you should do more races with the giulia against other cars
Or, even better, have actual racing, as in a racing circuit like Watkins Glen, Limerock, etc., to truly measure the performance of each car. Performance is not just straight line acceleration. Braking, turn in, lateral acceleration, balance....all contribute to "performance". Anyone who's raced knows that money spent on weight loss, suspension, and braking is far more effective in lower lap times than engine mods, dollar for dollar. The gap between these two car, the "Acura" and the Giulia, would be far greater on a road course where the Honda has virtually 60% of their weight on the front tires, vs. the ALFA's 50/50.
@Fred deNapoli I'm glad I'm not the only one that share this view. I've always said you can make anything fast in a straight line. Most of the world's best performance machines are tested at places like the Nurburgring, not some abandoned air strip.
Need more giulia races
Great vide! Keep them coming!!
Thank you. Glad I found the channel, and knew what to do. ;)
Nice race videos. Appreciate it bro. We like it when you do race videos!
Great video. Would love to see some numbers from your drag racing!
where are you getting the CW from ? because everywhere i see the AWD models are 3,990 not 3700..
You can’t turn traction control off on a non QV Guilia. I own one. I wish you could, but they don’t allow it.
yes, you can. just swap the DNA for a race one and program it with the computer.
In terms of price, would the Guilia Q4 vs TLS TypeS be a better match?
That was a Q2
@@joeharris2995 what was Q2?
Honestly, looking at how large of a gap there was between the Giulia and the TLX, I think it might be a driver's race when comparing it to the Type-S. The Type-S gets more power, but even more weight. The Type-S has +75HP and +50TQ but is also about 600lbs heavier. I'd still give the Type-S the edge, but probably not by much. As for price, similarly equipped, the Giulia slots about in the middle with the Ti Sport model, less for the lower models that are pretty comparable to an A-Spec package.
Is the 2.0 turbo in the Tlx the same engine in the Honda Accord with a different turbo charger...
You can’t turn the traction control off on the Alfa out of the factory!!!
The Acura shouldn’t even be considered a “sport sedan” they are so slow. The Giulia is a beautiful car.
3rd run he was perfect... you were just slow from losing those last 2 races...😂😂😂
That wasn't s Q4. If it was the beat done would have been worse. That was s Q2
Did you get any times on the quarter mile? I have an alfa myself and I cant seem to find times for it. I only find it for the alfa 🍀 which if a completely different car.
Times for the 1/4 that I've seen range between 13.4 - 13.8.
Just got a 2021 Giulia... it lives up to the hype!!! Best decision I made in years!!!
still good?
@@Maximob-dm5wi Love it!!! Only direction I am willing to go, when I can afford it lol, is a Quadrafolio!!!
Was this the awd or fwd tlx and was it the rwd gulia or the awd?
Handling lets see if that torque vectoring all will drive helps on the track?
The engineers at Honda/Acura did an excellent job on the suspension. There’s no noticeable (visually) bounce, vibration when accelerating. The car is very stable. Very confidence, inspiring.
As somebody with a 19 Giulia Ti Q4, my heart is happy 🥰
Can you do a drag race on the 19 tlx shawd vs the 21 tlx shawd
I've always had the mindset that you can make ANYTHING fast in a straight line. I'd like to see how the chasis are tuned in these cars. When the road twist and turns, which car is faster going in and coming out of turns. Put 'em on a road course!
The only way to find out is if you personally did that. Nothing on a drag course would prove between these two.
I own a Giulia Veloce Ti Q4 MY19 (german version). I live on the Alps, and here we have only mountain roads with closed curves and 25° unevenness... the Giulia is simply fantastic, better than the BMW 330i xDrive with M package (her direct competitor, which also I tested here).
Absolutely nothing compares to the Alfa handling in this segment. Nothing.
giulia would really embarrass the tlx on road course
Giulia is one of the better handling cars in production right now. My $ is on the Alfa all day long.
On the 6th run the Alfa even tapped the brakes and still kept ahead of him. The Alfas are an amazing looking car and only surpassed by its handling. You don’t see them on every corner either. One of my favorite cars in that segment.
In the Alfa the DNA switch performance difference is huge, unlike in most cars with similar switches.
please can you guys do The same alfa romeo vs elantra N
That extra torque really came in handy..Tlx looks much better but there is deff a power difference..Id like to sew the gulia vs a turbo 4 kia stinger and a turbo 4 supra in a 3 way race
Agree that I want to see that race, but disagree on the Alfa not being as good looking. Both the TLX ava the Alfa are super cool looking sedans.
Show us a car that will beat the Alfa in the same segment for around the same price.
Maybe Genesis 3.3 turbo?
I can tell you right now the Alfa is a way cheaper lease then that Acura
@@kirksmith347 The numbers are correct. However there is something that can not be touched, and because of that those two cars are in two totally different universes. :)
@@aayonce4 i want to see it vs the G70 so bad i tested the G70 and it feels not as fast i don't understand.
Love the Italian cars! The only issue would be driving it aggressively non stop and watch it fall apart. I had a Ghibli and I had so many transmission problems I returned it.
A Ghibli is a Ford with a Maserati badge.
Trasmission is german ZF 8 gearshift
@@buckeyenutz At least Guilia is not some transverse layout fake sport vehicle
@@buckeyenutz u mean Chrysler?
@@benjaminlutseng Spoken like someone who’s never driven one.
Well I would rather enjoy the show than trust some spec sheets...! Can TLX (Type S) even hold with the new G70 ? Good job as usual !
what do you mean traction is off on giulia? i own giulia q4 veloce 2017 and its most sporty dynamic mode does not switch off traction. Race mode which does switch it off only exist on Quadrofoglio with 510hp.
I like both
I’m impressed because just today before this video I went to test drive the 2019 sport gulia definitely a car not to mistaken
Bro he didn’t go early you just didn’t move off the line lmao 😂😂
Well done TL.
Can you do another race with the type s?
Acura have confirmed that the 2021 TLX Type S will come with a 3.0L turbocharged V6 engine outputting 355 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque
The tl lost
I really can’t wait to do some light engine mods on my guilia ti. A tune , intake , downpipe should do the trick
Thing is that voids your warranty right 😒
@@TheSantos173 sadly
@@larryfishkind5387 recommend the race mode mod and jb4. I’m ordering the hybrid turbo upgrade next month.
Great video!
Thanks bud!
Where did yall find a dohc 2.0 giulia?
I own the 2018 Base Giulia and I am pretty satisfied with it.
Have you had any issues with it? Issues with electrical components?
Cuore sportivo!!! You can not you can't compare Alfa Romeo and Honda!!!
Alfa real car been around 90 plus years the Acura is just a Honda corporation product $$$$ that rip off other real marques
I saw a video where the Accord with the same 2.0T beat the TLX despite putting out less power. TLX weighs more due to AWD and being a slightly larger car overall. Would be funny to put an Accord against these same cars the TLX is intended to compete with. Might surprise some people
Accord would win. I own the Acura and the 2.0t. It’s way faster
acura should have used the type r motor in the tlx would have made a lot more sense
I just tuned my Alfa , I wanna see more races for it 🤔
10 spd in the TLX definitely helps on the launch, but then seemed to get heat soak.
too many gears.
Please do more races with the guilia 2.0 q4
I have one of these Q4 TI Guilia's. Best driving car! Just solid and so much fun - it always feels to me like a beast just barely under control and waiting to be unleashed :-)
Bring back the Giulia Q4 for a drag against some of the newer competition. Elantra N, Type S Tlx, Stinger, Civic R, Golf R, etc.
This was just fun to watch.
Thanks
@SamCarLegion need more giulia races! Please!!
Compared on dyno Alfa's engine actually makes about 30 moro whp.. so this result is more then expected..
Worthless drag race. Dragging two cars that are destined to be grandpa Boulevard cruisers.
@@islandon22 you clearly don't know much about the Giulia. It's as pure a driver's car as you can find.
@@Mr.J2U there was one in our driveway that belongs to our neighbor just minutes ago! 😅
Have you seen who drives these cars lately? For one, my neighbor, a lovely 50 something, has never taken it past the speed limit. She bought it because it was "cute". I almost barfed! But that's who I see driving these beauties.
But I think you're speaking of the Giulia QV. Now THAT has phenomenal skidpad numbers. But at $81-$83k, that doesn't surprise anyone. As far as drivers cars I've owned and and driven I love Lotus. Then the Original AC Cobra (driven) Porsche Cayman (driven), the Mazda Miata (owned) and JCW Mini (owned).
To me, a "driver's car" means a car that offers a total connection and oneness with the driver. Having a great skidpad #'s, or a big "handling envelope" doesn't necessarily add up to a great driving experience. It's all about that interconnection. And I know you know what I mean. 😉
@@islandon22 I drive a Giulia and I'm 30yrs old lol. There's actually a wide variety of people who own them. You'd know if you were in the forums lol.
@@islandon22 I own a Giulia I'm 35 not a grandpa I drive it like it's meant to be driven maybe you should move out of the nursing home complex
There is no "traction off" on the giulia. Only the QV can disable it.
You can install the QV’s drive selector on the base model Giulia to turn all that off just like the QV.
@@tonunknown1 i bet you also have to do some software work after you install the wheel, right?
So you said the TLX had a 2 l for cylinder in the info. However the car you're driving sounds like it has a V6 in it
How about getting the K5GT in the mix?
It’s coming :)
We all knew what the outcome would be but the TLX didn’t do badly. Entertaining video!
You're right about that man. He says that he has the Type S & he's gonna do a drag race.
I changed my name & thumbnail just in case u don't remember me lol. It used to be Ragnar Valhalla.
@@mutualdecline2174 what’s up bro! Lol, I can’t wait to see the drag race of the Type S. I want to see the Type S vs the S4, C43, G70 and the Stinger. I don’t need to see the M340i, we all know that will absolutely destroy every car here lol
I thought the TLX performed really poorly, with such figures and being newer, it should have stayed within the same ballpark. Seems to me the ratios suck.
But then again the TLX is ALOT bigger.
@@drivescene6747 Yea those match-ups will be very interesting but I don't think the Type S would win any of em. We definitely need to it up against the S4 & the Stinger. If the Type S loses to those two then its safe to say that it'll lose to the C43 & G70. That 340i will remain top dog for another year. Maybe Acura has bigger plans for the Type S in the future. I'm sure they're listening to what people are saying & they definitely have the potential to become alot more competitive in this segment performance wise.
Since when does the A spec come with SH-AWD??
My old 2019 A-Spec (bought in May of 2018) had SH-AWD and a V-6. It was like driving a paperweight-great looks, boring drive.
Hi Sam can you do more giulia races?
The K20C4 and 10-speed in the Acura (also in the Accord 2.0) is just a launch monster. Can't wait to see the Type-S in action.
The 10 speed in the Aspec needs to be tuned a bit more aggressively. Yeah it's super smooth but it seems like even the accord 2.0 wears it better
Accord is much lighter, I’m curious to see the accord race this Giulia to see how close it’d get
TLX is heavy.. They should reduce its weight..
@@mauriciogarcia4190 I lost to an Accord 2.0 T in my Giulia RWD. Roll race from 30,40 mph
Them Italians sure know how to build fast cars.
I hope it’s reliable!
Totally love my giulia TI Sport. It is just so fast ,the handle is even better.
It would be interesting to see a Mazda 3 Turbo sedan against the Acura TLX.
Launch your AWD Guilia in Dynamic mode right and it will feel give you that funny feeling for a couple seconds. Such a fun car!
This is right up my alley as I just came off lease of a 2018 TLX A-Spec and just got a killer deal on a fully loaded 2020 Giulia TI Sport
how’s it been?
What if giulia vs accord sport?

@@kristians2704 luxury brand. Buick and Chrysler are premium brands there is a difference.
All those trees in the Acura add a lot of weight, therefore it is slow! Lol
Both of favourite in their own ways
3rd run in sport mode. What a shame the Alfa was gone. Such a beautiful machine.
actually the alfas weight is around 3650 lbs with awd whereas the acuras is 3950 lbs with awd, so for being 300 lbs heavier id say it kept up pretty well in the beginning anyway.
They literally posted the curb weights from the doors at the start, the Alfa is a few lbs heavier
@@aktsly9237 he posted the wrong weight for the alfa, moron.
Donna summers “walk away” playing in the backround….
My coworker went down to Champion Dodge in Downey Trying to buy an Alfa Romeo 2.0t That car was so expensive and nice that He end up buying a Dodge Charger sxt for $32k and Alfa Romeo was at $43k and said he’s famous was going to be around $750 Month with 0 down and No markup but he had a 2019 Kia Optima with Poor resale value so he was like 13,000 upside down So he had to lease the charger sxt I feel bad for him Payment on the Kia Optima was 639 a month but he end up getting a nice car but a GT charger would been nice
Drag race is cool and all, but I'm interested in knowing how they handle the twisty roads.
The Giulia is amazing on twisty roads
I've driven the Giulia and man, that car is fun in the twists, feels pretty light, i haven't driven the acura though
German Alps living here, only mountain twisted roads... my Veloce Ti it's absolutely amazing
You should do a Type S vs 4cyl. Giulia.
we need more Giulia 2.0 races common
I don't think drag racing is what the Giulia is really optimized for, but glad to see it win anyway! I'm the lucky owner of a Giulia Q4, and I think 280 hp seems to be a conservative figure, for sure.
giulia vs tlx type s please!
Giulia 2.0 turbo is actually SOHC, not DOHC
Multi-Air
Good race! Wind noise is annoying
Now the Kia k5 gt vs the giulia 🤓
The Alfa has 280hp vs the TLX 272hp. Honestly 8hp is largely negligible in the real world.
The real difference however is curb weight - the Alfa is around 3700lbs while the Acura is at 4000lbs. The Alfa is one of the lightest entries in its class while the Acura is one of the heaviest.
At the beginning of the video vehicles specs were shown and the weight difference between these two cars was negligible; in fact, the Alfa was 6 pounds heavier than the TLX..
Not true according to the vehicle specs shown at the beginning of the video.
ТLX slow transmission mainly. Also i dont check but i believe is heavier due to 4x4 etc. This is slightly different class cars. Gulia is between compact and small sedan. TLX is mid up to full size in many ways.
I'd like to see the Alfa vs the aTLX Type s
Bring on the TLX V6 Turbo next time ;)
And the Giulia V6 turbo as well?
😁
@@miks564 the tlx type S beat a s4 😅
That'll be a good race with the quadrifolio LOL but the quadrifolio will win
But in that case, bring the Giulia V6 turbo. That car is in another league.
@@ADXglitch you really believed that? We all really know it was staged!
The Alpha Romeo simply has more torque. Both cars are roughly the same weight & have similar horsepower. But that extra torque could not be denied.
please Elantra N vs Alfa romeo Giulia
Good race ! That 10 speed kept it in the race
That Acura didn't have a chance dam
Guilia vs elantra N!!!!!!!!! I'm torn between the two and would love to see them in action.
Maybe if TLX had the CTR turbo on it, retune the engine and transmission. Maybe that will beat it lol.
G70 vs Type S pleaeeee
I’d happily take either car… but the acura has a much better reliability history…. I think.
Thx just been demolished 😂😂😂👍👍
Lol bro the tlx wasn't even the turbo version, if they used the tlx type s turbo, that romeo giulia will be demolished and the tlx will be more reliable as well, coz romeo giulia have poor reliability in reality.
@@cooleye8887
Alfa Romeo reliability is always awful for non owners and very good for the actual owners.
Since the vast majority do not own any Alfa Romeo, bad reliability is the common belief. Which doesn’t make it true however.
@@cooleye8887 …and if the TLX you’re mentioning is a 3.0 6 cylinder turbo, why not compare it also with the Giulia 2.9 6 cylinderTurbo?
@@miks564 GUILIA IS AWFUL REGARDLESS LOL
@@miks564 THAT ACURA TLX WAS JUST A V6 AGAINST THAT GUIULIA 2.0 TURBO ,,, MANY CARS THAT HAVE 2.0 TURBO IS MOSTLY FASTER AND HAVE A BIGGER ADVANTAGE OVER NATURALLY ASPIRATED V6...EVEN THE NEW ACCORD 2.0 TURBO IS FASTER THAN THAT TLX V6. THATS WHY I SAID IT WAS NOT REALLY FARE FOR THEM TO RACE... BUT YEAH I AGREE THAT THE NEW 3.0 VS GUILUA 2.9 WOULD BE MORE REALISTIC. I KNOW THIS FROM EXPERIENCE. I RACE A LOT OF TURBO AND NA CARS WITH MY 2015 EVO X AND 21 TYPE R WHICH IS BOTH 2.0 TURBO... EVEN MY DAILY 2017 CIVIC SI COUPE 1.5 TURBO CAN CATCH UP WITH MY 2014 ACCORD COUPE 3.5 V6.
