I'm glad you switched cars for the second race. The second race was much closer than the first which was a much bigger gap. I'd say that has a lot to do with the driver!

Awesome man. I’ll be there too soon

The M3 was very impressive going up against that M8 beast.

U-drag races are the most fun to watch. I Love the format and the fact that drivers switch cars and give it another run. If you lose, no excuses.

Driver error on that first race, glad it was in proper hands for the second, which is outcome I was expecting. I was in a F80 M4 running some roll races with a M5 of similar year and the race was dead to 90ish but over 100 the M5 just walked away (like it should be). Fun test, I love U Drags!

Seems like he let off the gas in the first race far ahead of the finish line.

As a former autoxer and road racer, I'd love to see a video on the behind the scenes production of U-Drags. It must take more than a few practice runs to establish the braking points and then at least a few actual runs of each race so that you can lock in the perfect pivot at the far end by both drivers.

The new front end on the M3 has really grown on me love how the raised lines of the hood run down to th edge of the grill😊

Keep the U-Drags coming!

Transmission technology I feel dont get much credit in comparison to the engine, but it’s evident that the improvements made in that respect over the past couple decades is huge. I believe both of these have torque converter style automatics so its crazy how well they launch and shift given their history of being referred to as slush boxes.

@andrewthehedgehog911

8 ай бұрын

@@ALMX5DP The torque converter locks above a certain speed for efficiency. the ZF can be programmed to dump the clutches in the planetary gearset so you get those kicks that almost feel like dual-clutch transmissions. I've once had a faulty vw passat transmission from 2006 that would utterly slam the clutches shut and would spin up the wheels from 1st to 2nd. 2nd to 3rd felt like a f1 shift xD

I like these races, you should always try your best to pair competitive cars, ie, M5 against E63 etc..

The guy who last drove the M3 is a better driver than the other driver

Amazing video! I love the U-Drag. It reflects the car so much better than Drag races, by including braking and cornering, but I understand that booking a track is not very feasible, so sometimes Drag strip is all you can do. Wish U-Drag would be more widely adopted instead of Drag race. Tracktimes are still the most accurate though! The choice of car is nice, but I think they could be better if you compared M4, against M8 since they have the same body style. I also think each driver could have a bit more runs in each car.

Absolutely love U Drag races. If it’s not too dorky, could you guys consider putting tire info/spec in the video as I am always curious about what they are running? I know some cars now come on as some cars come with Cup (R) tires, etc, which really offer an edge. Keep up the amazing work!

Yeah man ; swapping cars on race two really shows you how critical the driver "skills" are when watching these videos for comparison on all these sport cars. Even on drags

For the price difference not much more performance but you do get the glorious v8 noise which automatically makes it worth the price

Having an M8 Comp, I'm curious about the actual car/engine setup as nothing they did or showed looked correct except maybe putting it in a generic setting (possibly why launch control did not work), and what does launch control have to do with a 3rd or 4th gear shift? Perhaps he meant to say traction control?

I want to see a Porches race!!

Seems like they should’ve either compared the M4CX with the M8 coupe or the M3CX with the M8 gran coupe. Maybe the weight differences between each platform’s siblings is negligible but that seems like it would make a little more sense. Great races & content!
