4:44 are you actually claiming that the Lucid air is brakes are insufficient to stop the wheels from turning at reasonably high speed? The ABS is unable to be activated? Or do you mean that it would benefit from more and better tire up front?

@quackman

Жыл бұрын

Just that it doesn't have sporty summer tires or performance brakes, which is especially important for the extra-heavy, extra-powerful Lucid. This means the Lucid can't slow down anywhere near as quickly as an M8 or other sporty cars, and that at the same speed it can't turn as well as the Bimmer or others. ABS isn't an issue, just the sheer force required takes longer and harder to reign in on non-performance rubber. Testing at extreme limits like on a track exposes that to the nth degree.... but even a very sporty driver would have a hard time bringing a Lucid anywhere near its limits on the road w/o going nuts.

Pardon my ignorance but this 1/4 mile U drag race is way more fun to watch, and I am sure a ton more fun to drive compared to the regular 1/4 mile drag race we have come to see plenty. This is the future of the 1/4 mile drag race, want to see others do the same.

Best test in my opinion. Mixes drags for those who care about straight line speed and turning for those who like twisty roads. Comes to show you how important turning and braking is

Love how you both switch cars in all the U Drags. Kurt is the better driver time and time again so its important to get both drivers in both cars so you can get an average time

It now has a 3 inch drop from coilovers, every aftermarket suspension piece sold for a STi and 18 X 9.5 inch wheels with sticky Falken Azenis RT615K+ tires. I wonder which version of my car would win U Drags?

Gotta bring the plaid into u drags. Its strengths and weaknesses in one race will be very interesting.

Problem isn't with breaking but when it comes to corners and drifting BMW belongs to another universe. Due to edge of drifting in M cars it had advantage to return back.

Love the M8 and would pick that over the Lucid anyway but have to be fair here. The Lucid wasn’t tuned for racing where as the M8 has always been. Change the tires and brakes alone and this is a different race. Also the Lucid is 20% heavier. That extra 1000 pounds is a massive gap to overcome. Still the M8 is a fantastic piece of engineering and good on BMW for keeping it with the combustion engine.

To be fair, that model of lucid is not meant for racing, it is a fast car, but it's not a race car. Hence the poor tires and breaks on that model, a more fair comparison would have been the performance model.

It would be dope if Edmunds did brake and tire upgrades and did this again. Maybe lucid would make some changes too.

Gotta love them underated german cars. It won in my book just after the sound check. 200hp less and it leaped off the line. Just bonus for me. 10 second car on unpreped road with reg tires on pump premium gas is nuts. Granted most people cant afford either. Thats y I modify my old cars. Average people like to be fast too. Oh did we mention bnw fuels up in 5 minutes? I spoke to a proud tesla Y owner. He was so impressed that after 2 hour charge on 220v he got 40 miles 🤣🤣🤣. You want to win people over EV. Be cheaper the ICE, charge up in 10min or less. With no oil or maintenance, they will win. Assuming they dont burn down for no reason. EV does not seem like long term winner. Honestly will any of this speed matter once they ticket us to death with all the revenue making speed and red light cams coming out? Prob not.
