Nice race Sam, as always amazing content, I have finally decided to subscribed to your channel. This one was a good race as both were manual, so no one had the advantage over the other. Love your channel and your content.
I'll be the first to agree but I think with the M3 on snows quicker shifts in this case only mean more wheelspin on the 1-2 and 2-3, I think by 4th it hooked.
some of the posts on here... if you can do better, go try...... my opinion is most of the posters on here with "opinions" of the driving skill are far less skilled than the actual drivers of the cars.
Exactly. Everyone thinks they can get on an uprepped surface with 500HP RWD Manual cars & do better because they do it in games. Nobody is ever willing too come & show they can though.
I want to add that in this is a more "realistic scenario" because most drivers of these cars are not professionals so have average to below average shifts is better if looking at that prospective
This one was hard for me: I love both almost equally. Much respect to Ford and BMW for not forgetting us enthusiasts, despite dissension from the CVT crowd.
Love both cars. Recently bought a 2024 BMW M3 with the manual and it’s a fun car. The Shelby, cmon, that’s a race car basically. It would be better served against a M4 CSL (but it’s not manual or rear wheel sadly). Imagine if it was.
7:24 he keeps saying he’s spinnin so much but. If your spinning so much that mustangs rear end should be spinnin as well, but the mustangs no spinnin tho…
I had traction on in the mustang and was feathering the throttle alot. You can tell the difference in the gear shifts alone. 1st-2nd is very chill but 2nd-3rd & 3rd-4th were quick. It was 0° this day it was very cool.
Tires man, still the single biggest change you can make to a car. All the motor, all the brakes, all the suspension, all only interact with the planet through 4 little patches.
@justinp2993 I 100% agree with you there tires are so important that people overlook alot. That being said. It was 0°C and the BMW had new snow tires, the Shelby had almost bald Michelin Cup 2's if any tire had an advantage it was the snows.
Some of the most ridiculous lack of driving by Sam yet. I own both of these cars and this is absolutely not factual at all. And then his the transmission is trash on normal mode… ummm it’s a manual… sport mode doesn’t change the shifting in a manual.
Let's see manual sedans, You can get a ct4 blackwing, ct5 Black Wing, wrx, Elantra N , Honda Civic SI, Acura Integra, Volkswagen Jetta, Nissan versa, And I'm sure I'm forgetting some, of course the BMWs mentioned.
Can you make some c43 content racing, other cars, the AMG or the c450 AMG? Can you make content racing other cars like BMWs and Fords? I really like that
Put a better driver in the BMW and I bet it edges the GT350R by half a car. Which brings me to this point, that BMW is clearly making 473 WHEEL HORSEPOWER and probably 406 WHEEL TORQUE which would. That would put its true power right around the GT350s but with more torque which is why it would win with a better driver.
I recently sold my 2019 Shelby GT350 to purchase a 2025 BMW X4M Competition. The results of this race, IMO, are not entirely correct. It depends on the driver's ability to shift. GT350, being naturally aspirated, is slow at low RPM, while M3, being forced induction, is significantly quicker from the dig. Therefore, M3 should be faster if the driver in M3 shifts better.
So you’re comparing the AWD, Competition and Automatic to the RWD, 6MT non-Comp? Not to mention the R has the lightweight carbon fiber wheels which save a ton of unsprung weight compared to the non-R 350. Auto + AWD will always beat a 350 with 6MT + RWD.
@@georgedavidov5250 , you need to read my post more carefully. I'm not comparing the X4M Comp to the GT350. I just mentioned that I sold gt350 and purchased x4m comp. In the video, both cars are MT and rear wheel drive.
Sam, why don’t you let all of these butthurt bmw drivers in the comments section, show you how to shift “properly”? There’s so many pro drivers in the comments that could’ve drove for you and “smoked” that Mustang 😂
A 3.0l six four door vs a two door 5.2l v8 coupe . This is so unfair , and the mustang still almost looses . Make up it a fair match up next time . Bmw M8 compition V8 coupe vs this mustang. Mustang would be destroyed completely. 😅😅
the driver from mustang knows how to shift the gears properly unlike the guy from bmw ...even my 70 year old aunt does a better job than him!such a shame!
If the BMW had performance tires this would have been closer. To make a valid comparison you should check out the Hagerty M2 vs Dark Horse vs everything else epic!
I think people don't realize the GT350R is even better at braking/handling. 4/5 years old (at least) and still outperforming newer comparable vehicles.
You're short shifting the GT350 in first gear and some of the races in 2nd as well to try and help the bimmer look better. I own a GT350 / know what it sounds like...
Once you watch it, BMW knocks out its rivals, but now the Mustang has pleasantly surprised you. A conclusion suggests itself, or rather three: either BMW's rival cars are faulty, or BMWs are wildly flashed and chipped, or, which is more likely to me, the drivers in these cars are not the best
Wow that Mustang is a beast, never thought beating M3
He doesn’t know how to drive the bimmer! Bad driver

It was so refreshing to see a gt350 owner who could actually shift. That was just great to see
Perfect matchup. Love the GT350.
Now we’re talking! Rear wheel drive vs Rear wheel drive. Now we see the difference 😂
Made me happy to see American Muscle Mustang beating a Beemer.
Bimmer
GT350R is the best Mustang Ford ever built. They'll never do it like that again. It wins the race without even getting off the starting line.
A proper race will need both cars having the same tires, preferably new.
Gotta respect the gt350R being a N/A and always putting the work in. Besides I'm a scatpack owner
Scat pack is trash bro

those 8k shifts in the gt350 r are wild
Yellow sedans reminds me of taxi's. (And now you can't unsee it)
Already unseen. A yellow sport sedan like the M3, looks pretty badass😁
Soon they(bmw fan girls) will come and contaminate the comments section 😂😂
Mustang driver is professional and BMW driver knows nothing about driving

I think the difference is the transmission and power delivery. NA flat foot shifting vs turbo losing boost on every shift and longer dwell time.

It's definitely a job to launch two high powered cars in the cold. Also one with SNOW TIRES. The roll races show the power advantage of the Stang.
