I watched this a few hours ago and was debating posting this in the M2 vs.. forum under the F87. We need one for the G87, not sure why it’s still grouped in the same forum as the G42 when looking at it on the app

I posted it under G87 photo/videos. Not sure what’s going on with that. F87? Was that a typo?

No what I mean is when you look at the G87 forum on the app, it’s in the same space as the G42 for some reason. It’s different when looking at it on the web version. In the F87 forum, they have a subforum called “M2 vs…” which is dedicated to content like this where the M2 is being tested against other cars. I was just saying we could probably have a subforum like that too along with getting rid of the G42 forums when looking at the G87 subforums.

Edit: my bad, I understand the confusion from my first post. I was talking about 2 different things in the same breath, my bad.

I concur, a subforum would make sense, maybe Jason is waiting for more content?

Launch control is certainly essential.

They seemed confused about what the M mode button does. I don't blame them.

Lining up gas powered vehicles against electric is just silly. We know who is going to win off the line (most of the time).

My problem with them is the whole “wow this car brakes so well, look at the size of those brakes”, as if that had anything to do with it… also the use of “turbo lag” is incorrect.

Like you, I don’t blame them for not knowing how to use launch or the M preset buttons as those are too specific to the car and you can’t know everything and all the idiosyncrasies of all cars.

I refuse to watch any drag race videos

Just low effort clickbait

We all know which are the proper driver's cars here

I think they should put in at least a minimal effort on how a car works if they’re gonna try to milk it for views lol

YouTube needs to bring back public dislike counts. Nothing against the video in particular, it’s OK and it’s free. But dislike counts were the ultimate timesaver; seems Youtube wants us to commit to at least a commercial break or two before backing out.

DCT on Supra. These non-car people need to get a real job…

A more interesting competition would have been on a road course, yet almost no one ever wants to expose how bad most EVs perform there. The biggest issue with that is going to be finding someone who can actually drive it; launch control takes much of the skill out of a drag race, so skilled drivers aren't as important.

Does everyone who reviews cars these days seem like they want to speak like Doug to introduce a car..? 😂 12.3/4 @120 Mph for 1/4 mile trap is no joke.. Was that 120 Mph for 1/4 mile trap speed..? If so that’s pretty damn fast!

[GOLFFRR]

seems like a cluster **** lol of a video, either way that M2 looks awesome in motion! Def would love to have one of those myself

My issues:

1. Blathering about launch control… it’s not hard to activate.

2. No handling or braking test with the Trashla

3. Failure to talk about how ICE engines lose power at altitude (lower air density/less oxygen intake). EV does not suffer at all.

4. Failure to discuss why trap speeds are high relative to ET. Trap speeds are inflated due to less air resistance. Similar to why ET is deflated (although that is specific to oxygen not overall air density).

I think the Trashla might be a smidge faster in 1/4 at sea level still but will get smashed everywhere else.

They drove ET? Did they help him phone home after?

Trashla? Really.

You can tell that kid wasn’t using the launch control properly. When it’s done correctly, the back end squats down. I guarantee a different outcome with someone that knows what they’re doing
