These are not drag racing cars. Such a useless comparison.
If these reviewers really want to review these cars, then do it for what these are made for. |

Yes we know. It doesn't have to be reiterated every drag race video that these aren't drag cars. The public drags them, so there's some relevance with regards to how the public uses them.

And as already mentioned, the majority of wizzing contests between fast cars are done from a red light, followed by a Highway roll. |

Ive been watching his/their posts for some time, they do a good job overall and have the pertinent data which I like: Dig Roll Data Some of the commentary is bit over the top with the tone of the host but Im ok with that.

OK, but somehow it's a shame that there are so many youtube clips just focussing on the straightline. The risk is that the ignorant spectator believes that this discipline defines the vehicle and reduces the car to his quarter mile time. While actually, it's just sluggish journalism and so much easier to do than a car review.

I test drove a taycon and felt so cramped compared to even an m8 coupe. I really wanted to love the taycan bc I think it looks bad ass but I wasn't impressed with the interior and find their cupholder placement really stupid (as a Florida driver I always have a drink in the car so it's a big deal to me lol). The back seat is also tiny compared to the m8 gc

That Taycan is a very nice looking car. Porsche tries really hard to take my money.

I love this channel but i have to say that is not fair at all
If you see the runs the m8 was on D2 not D3 and engine in comfort not sport plus Check min 5:30 Also he did not use launch control (no flag) |
