The weight to power ratio speaks for itself MDX: 13.8 Durango: 14.9 the lower the number the faster...

@ryanshannon6963 Ай бұрын

The only thing that could *possibly* alter the outcome would be a superior tire choice for the Durango over the MDX. But, at that point, it's not apples/apples I suppose. Plus, I'm sure the powerband for that turbo is set fairly high, probably mid to upper RPM band (which explains why off the line they're nearly comparable, but as soon as 2nd gear shifts the turbo really starts to produce power).

@danielmelendez9943 Ай бұрын

In looking at American brands, seems like Dodge has fallen behind the times in technology. You cannot keep making cars without giving it thought, functionality and ergonomics. Acura MDX has been an Acura staple since 2001, when the MDX model showed up at the dealerships. Since it has been in a constant evolution, while now its in the 4th generation, Acura will continue to evolve their best family do it all SUV. I owna 2011 MDX with SH-AWD and the MDX truly makes the best out of torque vectoring technology. Something that was offered way back on the 2nd generation, not many understand the importance of it or the application of it. My MDX with 3.7 v6 engine has a 300hp in the base configuration, while the engine lacks efficiency, there is plenty of torque available at low revs. I believe my MDX with only 115k miles will definitely last 200k with very basic maintenance. Acura reliability is definitely worthy attribute. Not sure how reliable Durango can be past 100k miles.

Good race video between the Acura MDX Type S and the Dodge Durango RT. The MDX had the advantage due to quicker shifting for the transmission. It's also a little lighter in weight, but primarily the quicker shifts was the main one. Also, as for the MDX, was it in regular drive mode or Sport mode for the races? If it was in Sport Mode, then that would be another reason it had the advantage.

@coolsquad7428 Ай бұрын

Yeah also the durango was at a disadvantage since 1 they break torque it which normally on N/A vheicles makes them launch slower and it looks like they are running on regular gas which makes it a hell of alot slower as I do drive a early wk2 durango with the 5.7 hemi as on regular gas it did a 0 to 60 in 6.8 7 seconds range while the midgrade made it much faster by 0.6 seconds and I could easily tell by driving around, as also I don't if the durango was in sport mode either.

The Durango keep its tow specks so it can still do it work but stay fast enough to get in to traffic and interstates with a huge trailer with sacrificing its capabilities as a power factory

Its the weight that plays the bigger role, then its the transmission and then aspiration. Nothing to be humilated by. The durango did fairly well considering the mdx has more advantages. Try running 89 octane in the durango next time. Hemi’s love 89 octane

Guys, I just started watching many of your videos and after watching this one I think you need to put the 2.0 turbo accord against the MDX and watch the Accord take the win again.

A race with an R/T with Tow N Go package would have been a better race. It is factory tuned with SRT parts and has track mode with more aggressive shifting and a 3.09 differential. It's a more comparable model to the MDX.

My 2018 Forester XT took an R/T to gapplebees. I think the better match up for the Acura would of been the SRT or even an Explorer ST

Sam is going through buyers remorse everytime the mdx walks a car

Waiting for a MDX to pull up on my Durango hellcat 😂

The 10-speed in the new Acura models are super quick around 50/60 mph (I’m in the u.s) the car holds all the power around corners, Hondas/acuras are better on rolls vs a drag no doubt about it.

The speed of shifting doesn't win races, power to weight does

An suv with quad four inch exhaust pipes running high 13s is an embarrassment

Acura all day but it needs a lil more hp. Love that Super handling awd system. A lot of people sleeping on it.

@moescolla Ай бұрын

Great match up Not too bad considering that body on frame old Durango is a true old school 500 lb heavier suv and the Acura is more of a crossover with a better tuned transmission For the money you got to take that MDX though

@niuhuskieguy Ай бұрын

The Durango is not actually body on frame. It uses the same bones as the previous gen Grand Cherokee.

@moescolla Ай бұрын

@@niuhuskieguy oh when did they change that because that thing is a heavyweight

@AnthonyHTX1 Ай бұрын

A 460 pound weight difference along with the Acura being turbo charged and the Durango being N/A, not to mention they are not even in the same class… yeah I expect these results. Not sure what all the hate is about against the dodge.

We have to see some Escalade 6.2 l natural litter v8 races 💪 or Honda pilot vs Kia telluride race 😮

@paulm6316 Ай бұрын

Honda Pilot vs Durango RT would be interesting match since they have similar 0-60

It would be good to compare D segment SUVs like the Ford Edge, Grand Cherokee, Santa Fe, etc. in their sports models.please

Hey Sam car can you do a 2024 Camry TRD vs 2008 Infiniti G35 please!!!!!

@ShyerCole Ай бұрын

Idc honestly which is “faster” or “better” I was still sold on the TYPE S very nice vehicles and the ride nice with style even the A spec is wonderful too Acura’s current line up is pretty solid.

@asianyangster916 Ай бұрын

So there IS replacement for displacement.

@deancm3759 Ай бұрын

If you mean, it’s the transmission because of gear ratios that may be the case, but it could also be the weight, aerodynamics. It’s probably not one thing.
