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.

Not twice more, a 2 door M8C is probably around 135k-140K, the GT500 is just over 100k I think. Except in reality you can still get an M8C for an MSRP, good luck getting the GT500 for less then 150K, much more limited car to buy.

um just search youtube and recreate every drag race out there😅but u-drag is so engaging and entertaining. I'm invested in the races bcus its like those other types of drag races dont matter, like just look at the 0-60-100 and you'll know which car will win. but u-drag is different, its great.

I am German and own a M340i which is almost a perfect car. I recently travelled to California and rent a Mustang convertible from Hertz. Hertz added Shelby parts - most importantly the exhaust😮 Fun and Emotion wise the Mustang is much better than my M340i. The Emotion with the BMW comes when you really push it to its limits. Then xou realize what fantastic xar it is. But you will find rare occacasions to drive like a maniac, especially in the US with the speed limits
@cisky1972 10 ай бұрын
You're right. However, when I look at the trap speed on the return, the Shelby had a higher trap speed than the M8 Also generally speaking, a rolling race will be more appropriate when AWD is put up against RWD IMO....even the playing field a little bit :)

@devinmartin3673 10 ай бұрын
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.
@denalidriven1574 11 ай бұрын
Didn’t look like a real hard launch from the M8 we have seen that car buck and spin do to how brutal and fast the launches are I have honk if Matt Watson from Carwow was driving it would have been a much larger gap.

Launch control is not supposed to induce wheel spin. It’s no skill full computer controlled efficiency.
@alfrede.neuman8611 10 ай бұрын
It doesn't get any better than that launch in the second race. It hooked and booked. And I hate to burst your bubble, but Matt Watson is not a professional driver. I've see him blow far more launches than he's perfected. His only saving grace is when he gets behind the wheel of an AWD car.

It sure would be nice if you guys were able to put the cars you test on the same dyno and give us the crank and wheel HP numbers, it would kind of put 2 variables to rest, and there are others like tires, but i guess that's for a perfect world. In either case, both of them are fast. Switching drivers and lanes eliminates 2 other variables. Great reviews.
