hi everyone Matt Watson here from car
wives I've got an awesome drug race for
you today I'm saying the BMW M8
competition Over The Far Side is the new
Porsche 911 Turbo S and next to me looks
like something from The Fast and the
Furious let's call yanny on a wet day
with a very different car yeah so what
exactly is it
like a GTR well it was one once but it's
been seriously modified tell me about it
so firstly I feel like you today I'm
driving someone else's car this car
belongs to Nico from the animals it's a
GTI Liberty Walk 660 brake horsepower
it's on semi-slicks so I'm just putting
that out there now because it is wet so
if I go on the grass or into one of your
cars sorry have you ever launched that
car before the first day I've driven it
and I drove it here so I haven't even
accelerated fast I haven't tried launch
it's gonna be interesting
well I hope you're wearing your rubber
Underpants because
I think it might get a little bit scary
but you chose to bring it and
it's got a 3.8 liter flat six 650
horsepower 800 newton meters of torque
it's got eight speed automatic gearbox
dual clutches launch control that thing
is well rapid it's gonna be interesting
to see what your GTR goes against it
just like the Porsche the GTR has a 3.8
liter twin turbo engine though it's a V6
rather than a flat six that Porsche is
the lightest though it's like 1650 kilos
yours is 1750. how much torque has your
car got yanny no idea a lot of talk
because I'm in the driver's seat
obviously it's got 813 meters of torque
I've actually got the least powerful car
for once this has only got 625
horsepower from its 4.4 liter twin turbo
V8
let me play a sad song for you I'm the
world's smallest violin
it's about 750 newton meters of torque
and it's the heaviest it's 1950 kilos
talking about heavy have you been coping
in lockdown have you um
you lost a bit of weight didn't you
because you're training hard I put on
weight fat shamers bring it not a
problem I'll always lose my weight
you're looking very old that's just want
to put it out there remember I can lose
my weight as you've seen I lose weight I
put it on I lose weight I put it on Matt
just gets older and older and older well
if you've got so many slicks mate and
you hit some standing water you may not
get any older from today
to be behind me it'll happen behind me
anyway let's do a quick sound check so
BMW M8 competition
got a soft limiter
uh modern noise regulations and stuff
are just killing the sound of cars let's
have a listen to the Porsche
got a soft limiter as well
what do you guys think of soft limiters
let me know in the comments below
you won that one let's get on with it
are you ready yeah I'm nervous for once
in my life I'm nervous because I'm not
in my own car and I've never launched it
and I've got no idea what it's gonna do
raise up your air ride first otherwise
you'll scratch on the bottom of the car
and poor Nico we'll have to get that
fixed
but you know what I'd struggled to go up
then I think it's because of all that
extra weight
let's just go on with the race anyway
buy a new car head to Carlow to get
offers from the from the UK's top
dealers callow.co.uk the car buying
comparison site please stick on the road
just beat Matt let the Porsche go we
know what it is beat Matt beat Matt beat
Matt beat Matt
just beat Matt just let the Porsche go
just beatbox
oh okay sideways
come on
that poor struggled as well said yanny
[Music]
yeah any golf good actually had the
better start but nothing though
it's over for him
and I was going like side to side a
little bit but you launched well and
then even though your number plate says
boost pound it kind of fell apart what
happened I actually don't know I
definitely got the better start I think
we need to do it again I don't think we
do I think that's fine let's just move
on but I've never done launching this
before I'm not making tempted to do it
without honest truth dry your eyes
clearly in second gear but then you know
what these things are like it just rips
ahead thing with the BMW system you have
to have
them
they ask you how you are you just have
to say that you're fine and you're not
really fine
[Music]
again just for you yanny I will do it
again
we have a little status update ladies
and gentlemen so I made a couple of
phone calls so everyone told me all the
buttons should be pointing up however no
because it's still leaving my traction
on that's why I can get away so the far
left one is up the transmission but the
far right one should be down which takes
my traction totally off
successfully now it should be better but
no idea hopefully now I thought you're
going to say I'm gonna win but then you
thought better off it didn't you yes dog
in the legs come on BM
come on reaction time
[Music]
oh no
that's what I'm talking about folks
come on
these really struggled thank you
finally redeem myself redeem myself for
Nico as well because I felt so bad I was
fuming you're not really flying I knew
something wasn't right because the
traction kept kicking in I caught my
launch then though that's the only
problem I'll do it again if you want to
be fair I don't mind
do you know what I'm gonna go on this
side of the track just for a change of
scenery
it's a Porsche Bay one me Bay two at Bay
like I'm at work
look at the middle again
I'll call it Bay too
got no excuses this time track is the
driest part of the track
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
come on
so I'm in the traction it's a real
nightmare on this yes
and it just cocked itself oh she's gone
it's quick
if it was dry I'd be fine
dry
I'll be fine
[Music]
one eternity later now I know how you
all hate drug races in the wet but we
had to run those races because of time
constraints and stuff like that
fortunately it's now dry Jan you're up
for another drag race but this time in
the dry I've been here for about four
hours waiting for it to stop raining so
I think I'm ready finally I've got a
feeling I'm gonna beat you now let's see
is there any point in the Porsche being
here shouldn't it just be you and me we
might as well just have it there as a
reference point very muff very muff did
he just say what I thought he said
oh we had a good start there come on
oh it's so close between us come on
come on BMW oh it's so close
come on come on
come on please
I'm taking him now oh my God whoa
[Music]
so then what exactly happened well the
Porsche completed the standing quarter
mile in 10.2 seconds the BMW took 10.8
seconds and the Nissan did the quarter
mile in 10.9 seconds
okay now we're gonna have a rolling
graze from 50 miles an hour of the cars
in their comfiest setting which in the
BMW means I'm in efficient mode for the
engine anyway here we go you ready to
get level with me level here we go three
two one floor it kick down come on
come on bye bye yanny I'm beating you in
my BMW
bye-bye oh and Runway into Runway
right now we're gonna have a rolling
race this time because in the sportier
setting locked in third gear you ready
three two one go come on come on
come on
oh it's so close I'm gonna come past him
now
oh
I'm gonna have him now
bye
another way around to what I expected
yeah the funniest thing about all of
this
it's like it's not even here because
he's just reading everything
how was the Porsche in that race then
porsche guy it actually didn't pick up
as fast as I thought it would so I got
to look at the side of any Liberty Walk
body kit for a little while but after a
couple of seconds all I could see was
the front in my rear view mirror now we
have a brake test from 70 miles an hour
when we reached the cone full emergency
stop he's got some sweet rated brakes on
that and he's got semi-slick so he
should have a good chance at this let's
see what happens here we go
behind me that thing's gonna stop
poor
oh my God yeah your car stopped like it
hit a wall it's ridiculous I told you I
just stopped amazing
what a drag race the Porsche won
everything apart from the brake test
what race have you been involved in what
Porsche it was G2 against the BMW I
thought I didn't see no Porsche that big
red thing to your right he ignored it
but it's convenient anyway so the BMW
didn't win anything it didn't get been
too badly in the brake test by the
Porsche I mean I thought the Porsche was
going to stop in the shortest distance
but yeah Godzilla wasn't that surprise
really anyway I hope you all enjoyed the
video if you did please give it a like
let me know if some other drug races
