That M8 is one of the last good looking BMW’s that haven’t fallen victim to massive over sized grille’s and overly blocky designs (my opinion) so it’s nice to see that it can talk a big game in performance too!

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.

Welcome aboard!

Having driven both, cost no object, the M8 Competition is "more better". More comfortable, quiet and just more liveable. From a dig, its AWD puts it well out in front of the GT500 as seen here, but if you're starting out side by side at 35mph, the 'stang will walk away, no arguing with a 140+/-hp and 70lb-ft power advantage. The 'stang is a rougher ride all-around, mush less refined as expected for a price roughly half the Bimmer's. The unforgiveable issue is fuel economy. Neither is great, obviously, but the GT500 also has a small fuel tank and its range suffers terribly. Road tripping it means a fuel stop at something like 180-200 miles even when babying it. The Bimmer is a better GT car, it can get a bit over 300 miles between refueling stops, so a better long-distance car. But the V-8 rumble from the 'stang is worth a LOT, LOL.

breaks my heart💔 everytime i see the shelby go down😢

Yeah…but in a world where electric cars are simultaneously quicker and less fun than everything, true thrill machines like the GT500 (all of the generations) will always be desirable and fun.

It didn't go down, was $77,000 less without massive BMW depreciation

I'd love to see the M5CS up against the M8

I would love to see a mk7 Golf R vs mk3 Audi TTS go at it. or other race that i think would be good to see is the corvette C8 z06 vs m8 competition

Have they done a 2023 GT-R vs anything on this channel I can't find a video

@blazeboy6634 yes but by how much 🤔

I dig the U drag!

That was a great race. AWD and smoother acceleration from the start definitely saved the BMW from the fire breathing GT500. That Shelby is an incredible car!!!

That M8 is no joke.

Would love to see this race from a 40 roll

Yeah. No offense, but neither of these guys are good drivers. They said they drive cars for a living? They mean they talk about cars for a living. Lol.

Hey Edmunds, I have a Porsche 992 911 Turbo S and a 2023 Audi S8 that you guys can use for a U-Drag.

Need to see a Carbon Fiber Track Pack GT500 in these soon.

Love the idea, i have only seen one other channel do this every now and then! However…. I no drag… I race!

The M8 will go through all the gears on its own if you use launch control properly. You must be in manual to launch it, and it will change the gears on its own in manual when in launch mode...

Facts. In Fact, It is better to let the car shift, as the transmission shifts very fast and the AWD is near flawless.

@GXMAN16

@@executiveinvestments No, the car shifts on its own after launch, ONLY when you let off the gas pedal it'll switch to manual mode. Launch control is the only time the car shifts automatically despite being in S3. I have an M5C so I know.

@GXMAN16

10 ай бұрын

@executiveinvestments Yes S3 it's the most aggressive or dynamic setting for transmission in manual mode, in automatic mode it's D3. You can set it D1, D2, D3, S1, S2, S3. For launch control the transmission needs to be in S3. Dumbass.

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.

Yes that would be more accurate. Especially with the likes of BMW , Porsche. They under rate the true power of their vehicles.

Awesome race. AWD rules all.

Not sure if I saw correctly but is the M8 the only one in the race that has launch control?

I'd like to see the models plaid with the new track package.

I’d like to see that GT500 vs the last gen GT500. That would be interesting.
