    I wish youd do more old/new comparison, perhaps a track test even. Wouldnt it be fun to see a Ferrari 355 against a new Golf GTI perf. or an old american muscle car with them huge 6-7 liter engines against those little city Fiat Abarth 500s with 170 bhp. That would be insanely entertaining, a bit nostalgic best-motoring-esque

    • @tineess3093
      @tineess3093 2 роки тому +13

      true, and it would also be fun if they did the rolling drag races for the whole 1 mile + not just 1/2 mile. Its fun seeing cars with good aerodynamics/drag coeficient beat cars with less horsepower but that are shaped like a brick. Like it would be interesting to see sth like a jeep hellcat vs. x6m or sth(i think even non M, an x6 with top diesel/gas engine would win) with good drag, both derestricted top speed, and see where the box shape of the jeep catches up with it.

    • @nirfz
      @nirfz 2 роки тому +8

      But you would have to make sure the Fiat 500 is not directly in front of the old muscle cars when they do the sound check. It would get inhaled, compressed, burned and spat out the exhaust ;-)
      (The brake test would be a very one sided thing in an case...)

      man I miss Best motoring ..how great it would be to again see crazy fun races like that. Putting an Escalade with 690 bhp against a sporty fiesta, a bmw m7 or Audi s8 and basic porsche cayman. I loved those comparisons. The did great both the serious stuff and more real world like situations.

      @@nirfz haha yeah . The brake test would be ridiculous for sure but informative to notice the progress. It would also be kewl to drag race them up a steep hill vs. a flat road to portray that GIANT muscle car torque. I dont think even Top Gear ever did anything like that. Fiat with that tiny 1.4 turbo uphill and muscle car with torque to pull a house. I wonder how much the difference it would make.

    Because the Audi costs more and is better, among the aforementioned:

    3. Despite the soft limiter, it has the lowest sound;
    3. It has more interior space and comfort;
    4. It's soooo much prettier;
    5. Brake a car less than a car away.

      The flattening you hear is called compression. That’s the only way you can record loud sounds (exhaust revs) without peaking the mic and blowing out everyone’s ears. A more “raw” sound would require incredibly expensive test microphones, and receiving equipment at the other end. Headphones, DAC/amp, and that’s IF UA-cam doesn’t destroy that quality in its infinitely unknowable pipeline.

    2. That M240i is pretty nippy for a non-M car.
    3. Compared with these two my M3P is less expensive to buy (at least here in Portugal), much less expensive to maintain, accelerates faster (1/4 mile in 11.8s), and very likely out-handles both because of its lower CoG (it scored the fastest slalom and moose test here on YT - maniobra de esquiva by km77).

      Personally I also think that the rs5 is weak in its class but the rs3 is also a tear lower and is equally fast as the rs5 so the line up is weird.

      I'm not sure how carwow gets these weird numbers every. single. Drag race. Always a 12.0 1/4 Mile. Funny thing is they have a video of an RS4 vs M3 Comp and in that video the RS4 got a 11.74 lol. 🙃

      Yeah I think the gap wouldn't of been as close had they used the Coupe version of the RS5, instead they opted for the heavier sportback version to engineer a closer result...makes for a better video I suppose but in the real world an RS5 would leave the M240i in the dust.

My 540 is tuned to 420hp for only 1200$, daily driven with more than 100k kms on it and apart from really high end sport/ supercars, all other cars get dusted.

      Why the s3? The rs3 is a level lower than the rs5 and rs4 and the 240i is a level lover than the M4 M3 so it’s RS3 vs M240i and S3 vs 135i but that’s it with the crazy BMW fanboys they make stupid comparisons. The S3 is faster than the new 135i and the RS3 is faster than the M240i but the M4 is faster than the Rs5 what’s the problem.
