Until BMW learns how to boost large displacement V8s and strays away from their tried and true I6....They will never beat the best domestic muscle cars in drag racing. And for the record driving an AWD small block V8 with twin turbos is easy! Set the software to launch mode, stab, and steer. The computer takes it from there!

Since when did KB start to use a "roots style supercharger?" They use Twin Screw technology which is not a roots style such as an Eaton which is the kind that Ford is using on the GT500.
Ford is using a 5.2L V8 engine in the GT500 and BMW is using their 4.4L V8 in the M8. Neither are "large displacement" engines. Heck, even the Hellcat is "only" using a 6.2L engine which is somewhat large by today's standards as compared to others.
