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.

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.
The Giulia is beautiful.
It's frustrating to see people not know how to race automatics in roll racing. You start in manual mode to hold desired gear. Once race is on, you switch to automatic so the car shifts the quickest and at optimal RPM.

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.

Drag radials. Something you NEVER see on Not ONE of the cars on these videos. Kinda ridiculous.
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.

@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.

It’s 100lbs more than the Camaro, that’s a lot!

It has 150 pounds of front axles and transfer case.
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.
Was the G80 in XDrive for the roll raaces?
Exciting stuff! If X Drive, everything will be slaughtered from a dig. If not, ///M will have a harder time on both drag and roll.

Oddly enough it just doesn't work that way in the street racing world. Everyone where I live in FL is on a Drag radial setup and hooks like glue on the streets. Why don't the AWD guys want to play anymore when they see that? Odd right?

@@michaelschwab9563 I see what you're saying. I live in South Florida too and it's definitely different in the street racing world.
...and this was the ZL1 1LE with the big wing that has a 10 mph lower top speed (due to the massive aero) than the "regular" ZL1...
ZL1 should be in Track mode, not Sport, especially if you're not in manual shifting. Also, need better drivers for the ZL1.
I love the ZL1/1LE! What an amazing machine!
The M4 Competition is even faster because of 1. Weight and 2. Drag coefficient.
You are the best Sam big hi from Lebanon wonderful race❤

ZL1 Vs GT500 Vs Charger Hellcat Redeye
My garage is '17 Jag F Type R AWD, '14 F10 M5, Infiniti G35 coupe as a daily.
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..

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.
Those claimed 650bhp of camaro ...are clearly visible ANYWHERE 😂
You nailed the dream garage but if my V8 in this scenario has to be an auto I’m trading in the ZL1 for the class leading GT500
I like how the rear view mirror decoration knows what time it is.
You have two 500hp sedans and you decide it makes sense to not race them head to head? Then you forget to do the M3-ZL1 roll races in manual? Come on, think your planning all the way through, stop winging it.
For sure the ZL1 (non 1LE) would do a better job in this races. The rear wing limits the speed on straight line racing.
never thought id see the day where an m3 would weigh almost 4000 lbs and have 4wd
Gahdamn, that ZL1 is nucking futs! Imagine spending almost 100k on a BMW, just to only beat a Camaro with xDrive.
Why no manual mode in ZL1 against M3?
Bmw just beating the zl1 in rwd mode with 150bhp less power .... thats the difference in engineering

Let's not forget the BMW is probably making it's rated power to the wheels not at the crank. So its pretty close power wise between the BMW and the camaro.
That BMW is a beast and that is the M3 the Camaro. Don’t want no day of the M8.
Not too many cars will hang with the ZL1
I love the way he pronounces Quadrifoglio😅😅
Of course, the ZL1 kills both these cars on the track, including the Nurburgring. To be fair though, the ZL1 is a true sports car, the other two are amazing sports sedans.
Why doesn't anyone ever come to these races with a properly setup Rear wheel drive car on DR's so it can hook on the Launch? Ya know and Actual street setup 👀
I was in the market for a Quadrofoglio. I ended up buying a ZL1. The Alfa Romeo sales guy gave me so much BS that the Quad was very competitive and close to the ZL1 in every aspect. 😂. I knew better. That's a 150 hp diff which is a lot. Plus, can't beat that V8 sound
These engines are absolutely amazing, but let's all give it up the the auto-transmissions! They have gotten sooooooo much better the last few years compared to just the HP/torque gains over the same time.
Camaro was obviously heat soaked after the first run but still did well even though the drivers didnt have the trans in performance shift mode when shifted manually or auto.

XDrive Mode is a beast.
When roll racing put in manual mode to hold the gear you want, and then as soon as you take off slap it over to drive and let it shift itself from there. That's the fastest way.
They didn't do BMW vs Alfa, so disappointing
