hi everyone matt watson here from carway
so i'm wearing a jack inside the car
because
it's a beautiful british summer's day
that's right
it's pinned down with rain brilliant
doesn't matter though because
we're going to raise some hours and
audis are good in the wet
now i'm starting an audi rs and next to
me
is an audi ra v10 plus now you might
think i'm going to be out gunned but
this is actually a tt
rsr tuned by apt
it's one of 50 cars actually so it's got
rated turbo it's got a tune on it
in fact it's been tuned further by a
company called mrc
and it's got 610 horsepower which is
exactly the same horsepower that that
audi r8 v10 plus has that's got a 5.2
liter naturally aspirated v10 and as a
result it's got less torque in this car
560 newton meters this
has 780 newton meters they've both got
seven speed dual clutch automatic
gearboxes with launch control it's quite
different turbocharged power
2.5 litre 5 cylinder and that with its
v10
the r8 is the heaviest of the two cars
it weighs 650 kilos
this is 1450 kilos in terms of pricing
that r8 was 130 grand when it was news
probably worth about
90 grand now this was 55 grand and now
with all the extras on it it's getting
on for 90. so
similar money really similar power it's
going to be interesting now the guy who
owns that rate his name is andrew and he
runs an instagram channel called
lit yeah the link is in the description
so if you want to find out more about
that car and other stuff that he gets up
to
also make sure you're subscribed to us

notifications on so you're alerted
when we make a new upload that way you
won't miss any videos and finally check
out our new merch
in the carousel below the video some
cool t-shirts and stuff there let's get
on with the race then
in the wet because we're in england
before anyone says why are you racing in
the wet do they cancel the formula one
when it's raining no they don't so we're
not cancelling a car drag race
not even for coronavirus with socially
distance look is
more than two meters away anyway let's
crack on
now before we get on with the race we
must do a sound comparison this uptuned
exhaust should be pretty good it's got a
d
cut on it i've listened to this
[Music]
looks like there's a wall going on back
there
now andrew we all know that naturally
aspirated v10
sound awesome but this five cylinder
even though it's a turbo that's a wicked
noise
can you beat that with your car let's
see what the new exhaust says
all right stop it make my ears bleed
damn it
i was so sure that wasn't gonna sound as
good as this because this sounds amazing
but that's on another level
speaking of levels matt your car looks
like there's something wrong with its
suspension
is it broken you're gonna be able to go
down that runway there's a little bump
down there you're gonna
ground out now i'm ready
you ready to drag race then are you
ready are you trying to psych me out
here is that what's going on all right
and
let's see what happens let's go with it
three
[Music]
mental
[Music]
it's so close
the gear change in this was brutal i
think you lost andrew
just though did you have a good start it
was a bit sketch
but it doesn't really matter because i
crossed the line first
but i'm not i'm in my position here on
the left side of the track
winning i think your side of the track
was a bit drier than mine how about we
switch
all right i'll let you ever go over this
side i'm sure it's going to make no
difference at all but let's just do just
a humor you
andrew can you see all that standing
water there you've asked for this
you has to go on the right your side's
definitely drier
[Laughter]
no we're not swapping back we're going
to do it like this
three
[Applause]
oh it's scrambling for group
oh this is close though
oh no maybe he was right about the size
[Music]
oh
[Music]
damn it do you know what andrew that was
a complete role reversal maybe you did
the right call
because these things have the same
horsepower and they basically did the
same thing depending on which side of
the
track they were on maybe the wetter the
track the best one
okay yeah actually do you know what i
want to stay on this side of the track i
think i can get a better launch over
this one and i'd like to beat you on
this side
best two out of three this is it come on
come on titty ass i'm driving a titty
assault
[Music]
that was all about timing
[Music]
[Applause]
it did that thing with the transmission
again bloody hell
you think i jumped it only just i think
i'm gonna go to my adjudicator and find
out
whether i jumped it will davis can you
check
and see if i jumped it
can you repeat that well you didn't jump
andrew i'm afraid
i did not jump the start i think you
were just a bit delayed
i think these cars are dead evenly
matched it's so close between them it's
all on that start and unfortunately that
time mate you were off asleep
so then what exactly happened while the
tuned ttrs did the standing quarter mile
in 10.8 seconds and the r8 took
10.9 seconds
all right now we have a rolling race
from 50 miles an hour cars in comfort
mode automatic setting for the gearbox
i'm gonna count it in
when it gets level come on get level you
ready
three two one go
he's had to think about it for quite a
while
[Applause]
[Music]
no those birds
did it because of the birds
i've got a feeling i was not gaining on
you let's try something else
right now we can have a rolling race
again but this time in manual mode
the car's in sport and we'll see what
happens three
two one go oh that naturally aspirated
engine
just does the business
[Music]
no lag whereas this has got a huge ass
turbo
i got the drag you've got the rolling
races final challenge
sort of the decider though to the drug
that matters really andrew you know that
to be honest perfect on each of us
that's the key thing though you need to
have a perfect start
okay lewis hamilton you want me to drive
your car
i'd probably [ __ ] it up to tell you the
truth i think it's just luck
now we can have a break test from 70
miles an hour when we reach the cone
full emergency stop i've got graded
brakes on this carbon ceramics he's got
carbons as well
here we go here comes the cone
oh it's not blinking
oh i know what happened there it just
didn't bite particularly
[Music]
let's try again one more time do you
know what if it's the same result again
it's probably not early it might just be
the car
i think your car just stops at a shorter
distance
this has got ceramics it's got upgraded
ceramics well i don't know maybe my
side of the track is wetter not this
again you know i'm driving in the
swimming pool right now
you are kind of in the swimming pool you
won the rolling races but
when the drag races and as far as i'm
concerned that's what really matters and
they're right guys anyway i hope you
enjoyed this video i've really enjoyed
filming actually it's been a lot of fun
despite the wear
it's quattro though it doesn't matter if
it's raining it's a good thing about
