      Hell yeah. I have the M850i and it is way underrated, so the M8C is a even more so. Now, having driven the M8, I chose the M850i because of price and better ride quality. But that extra 90 horsepower delta is crazy. The M8C is one of the best on the market.

    The M8 is one of the underrated street weapons most people are not familiar with in the car game. Modded those things reach 900HP+ really freakishly quick rides, especially around a course. 10 second car that can comfortably handle a family is insane and a long trip. GT500 is a great car but the M8CP to me is the sleeper you dont expect to be that quick.

    This is one of the best test I have ever seen, the M8 is just like the Mustang, very similar exterior design. Very close in proportion and size. To me the Mustang is the best value, the difference in this test is that the M8 has all wheel drive and that gives it the edge at the start, but in the end the numbers are clear, the Mustang crosses the line just 1/10th of a second later, but at over 10 mph faster, that shows how fast it closes the gap between them.
    Again, very similar cars one costs almost twice more than the other and very similar performance.

    With some of these u drags, a theme becomes apparent. When you're in a talent and traction limited setting (99% of us aren't pro drivers), AWD is a massive massive advantage in all phases of hooning your car, save for from a roll. That's important to remember since 99% of the "racing" you'll do against someone else on the streets will be from a roll.

    @dougthompson1598 Год назад +1

    Having driven both, cost no object, the M8 Competition is "more better". More comfortable, quiet and just more liveable. From a dig, its AWD puts it well out in front of the GT500 as seen here, but if you're starting out side by side at 35mph, the 'stang will walk away, no arguing with a 140+/-hp and 70lb-ft power advantage. The 'stang is a rougher ride all-around, mush less refined as expected for a price roughly half the Bimmer's. The unforgiveable issue is fuel economy. Neither is great, obviously, but the GT500 also has a small fuel tank and its range suffers terribly. Road tripping it means a fuel stop at something like 180-200 miles even when babying it. The Bimmer is a better GT car, it can get a bit over 300 miles between refueling stops, so a better long-distance car. But the V-8 rumble from the 'stang is worth a LOT, LOL.

    Asleep on the that second launch lol, but under breaking you were really closing in and you were really catching up on the roll

    You guys should've demonstrated the race times on the M8 between it's AWD & RWD time differences to the GT500, now that would've been awesome!

      I'd still watch if they turned off the awd in the M8, but I think the point BMW is making is that you can go faster with less power with the simple addition of awd. Even if you want to point out that the mustang would have past the M8 if the race continued, I would point out that you would be going well over 160 mph at that point, which isn't likely to happen to often, so in most real world stories told a lot of cars are going to be able to say they beat the Shelby.

    I want to point out a correction. The mustang driver states that he wishes that the M8 Comp automatically shifts when in launch control. It will automatically shift despite it being in manual shifting mode. After the pull is when the driver regains control of shifting

      @@AERoVALKYRiE That's still close but, things could be different depending on the drivers and when they switch cars. That's on paper, things can be different on race day.

      Exactly! I don’t buy there results. They need to run on the same day/time. Data (1/4 mile time, 0-60, wheel horsepower) suggests it will be closer than their leaderboard suggests. I still think the Z06 would eek it out but it would be solely based upon the weight difference (braking/cornering speed).
