Yup. I definitely know in 10-speed cars the car upshifts faster than a PDK when in automatic mode and in the sportiest setting. Doing it manually is 100% slower even if you have perfectly timed shifts.

@@ayushmalpeddi2793yep even if you shift perfectly you are interrupting the transmissions logic which would be faster than just letting the valve train do what it was meant to.

Are you implying the Camaro especially a ZL1 can’t handle? I think you should check lap times for both,even just the SS puts down great numbers. Don’t get me wrong, I like the Alfa and loved it when it originally came out but it’s been to damn long and barely anything changed. Forget a refresh or horsepower bump,needs a whole new refresh.

I've had both the ZL1 and the QV. The ZL1 always felt like it was on a different level due to the supercharged V8. It was a lot more fun around town due to that instant low torque. So you could play around at part throttle without being crazy. The Alfa needed to stretch it's legs. So to have fun, you really had to be going a lot harder. It was SUCH a gorgeous car though. They're a pain to mod and the electronics can be a little finicky. I've been on the fence about getting a new M3 Comp Xdrive though. Simple stage 2 mods put these things in the 9's which is insane. Room for the family and the interior feels the part for the price.

You guys always do roll races so annoyingly (no offense, I do love the content!). You either do full "manual" mode on cars that are best left to automatic shifting, OR you do automatic mode, but including the kick down. Now, don't get me wrong, both of those are important to test! But, please please PLEASE do the best version of the roll race: Use manual mode to select starting gear Floor it Put transmission back into automatic shifting mode This way gives you the best/most-optimal start as well as the best/most-optimal shift timing (never short shifting nor banging off of the rev limiter). PLEASE.

Excellent video testing! BMW 0-60 mph times awesome and predictable. However, what I would love to see in testing is how these cars perform real world. For example, flat footing it away from the stop light. No one uses launch control in this scenario, which is a band aid, compensating for turbo lag, imho. That is what I don't get from this testing. Sam, any chance you could include 5mph to 60 mph tests?. Or just flat footing it from a dig, no launch control. I think that this sorts the s/c from the turbos. I am on the fence. Love my Jaguar F type V8s, but lusting after getting a M3C x drive. However, I am really concerned about off idle turbo lag, which would be really disappointing.. Can I give up F type instant power, beast mode? And of course the BMW puny shop vac engine sounds, there's that too. decisions, decisions.

@RaceDawg Most of the time, on CW, the cars are driven by Matt, Yanni, etc. (people from the channel). Sam let the car owners drive their own car. So, it no longer is objective. But, the other hand, there are no excuses of poor driving,since the owner is supposed to know how to drive his car optimally. Also, CW has 20x more views/budget. When Sam invites people to race and shoot videos, he intends to make 4 different videos in one day. So, if people don't listen to the instructions, it affects the quality of the races. The way I see it is that in the real world, you will always have someone jumping and it's fun to see how the other car can catch up. Nothing is perfect and I love Sam's content even though it is not perfectly setup.

We barely get people’s cars in Canada - let alone press cars. Carwow is allowed to race cars owned by manufacturers. We aren’t even allowed to film at the track let alone racing them 😂. Especially Stellantis the company that makes drag racing cars. We film the races multiple times so people don’t make any mistakes. Hence why I stopped doing three way races, less mistakes.

Is this the first ZL1 on the channel? Loved your reaction @samcarlegion I have the same reaction every time I'm tapping into the SC whine. One note, the 1LE will trap a bit slower because of the extra aero that makes for a great track car, as long as the track isn't a drag strip.

Just don’t understand why the Camaro ZL1 was used when it has 150hp more than the others. It would be better if all cars extremely close in hp and torque. Then you can see how weight, gearing and other things are better. The Camaro won because it had 150hp more. The BMW was the quickest because of Xdrive. Next time used a modified Giulia QV and the races will be much better. But the Giulia did well having no Xdrive, no launch control at all and down on hp by150. But make it a fair race and watch what happens..
@robpr315 Жыл бұрын
The ZL1 is still coming in cheaper than the other two. A 2SS Camaro would come in even cheaper. I'd rather see MSRP groupings as no one is cross shopping vehicles based on horsepower. They're cross shopping vehicles based on MSRP.

@GERONIMO326 Жыл бұрын
@peterhammer6915 the reason is called traction. Nobody bases a car's sheer power and how fast it is, from a 1/4 dig race. The roll race tells all, when you eliminate the traction advantages and disadvantages. You see who the real faster car is. And if you're sitting here trying to compare a M3 to a ZL1 1LE then, that's problem #1. The ZL1 1LE is a super car.
@peterhammer6915 Жыл бұрын
@@GERONIMO326 with that much less hp and keeping up with the Camaro I would argue the supercar title goes to Bmw. And yes 1/4 from the dig is the most used universal measure to test how fast a car is.

@peterhammer6915 on the roll, and using the seat dyno rule, there is no comparison. The Z absolutely walks the M3, not even close. Guess what, a KIA Stinger is faster in the 1/4 than a Mustang GT. Does anyone say the Stinger is faster? No. Traction advantages because you have less horsepower doesn't make you the faster car lmaooo

Driving the M3 xdrive is like being an apex predator on the street. It’s always ready for a street race and it punches so far outside its weight class it’s ridiculous. It’s constantly being measured in the same breath as super cars and off the line and 0-60 it beats some of them. It lacks top speed and 60-100 stock and the handling of a Porsche but with forged internals, 750-1000hp is light work and the super car killer is born.
