Is the M3 able to keep up with the old one?
How fast is the new BMW M3 Competition? The carwow team organized a drag race between a stock BMW M3 and some tuned competitors to find out. The BMW M3 is in danger of losing out to heavy-hitters such as a Ford Mustang with a high-powered engine and an R34 GTR boosted at the start line.
Ford Mustang is a drag-racing icon. There are many support companies that can help you build the perfect car. This video shows the Ford Mustang 2015 GT with a 6-speed manual transmission and a 5.0-liter engine. This pony car is far from stock, in true Mustang fashion. It has drag slicks at its rear to improve on-track performance as well as increased grip. Supercharging is used to boost the 5.0-liter V8 to 735 horsepower (548 Kilowatts), which is 300 more than stock.
Fords may not be your style, but you might like the more unusually designed BMWs. The G80 BMW M3 Competition 4-door is one of the most stunning ever made. The twin-turbo 3.0-liter straight-6 produces 510 horsepower (380 Kilowatts). This insane straight-6 is coupled to an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission, which sends power to both the front and rear wheels. The M3 Competiton includes launch control along with an array of performance-enhancing electronic aids to get the most performance possible from the boosted straight-6.
The R34 Nissan GTR is a beloved car. The R34 Nissan GTR is considered a timeless masterpiece and a landmark in sports car design. The R34 Nissan GTR was the first car to incorporate computers and technology to make cars faster. The legendary RB26DETT engine powers the R34 GTR. It can take a lot of boost. This particular machine has a maximum of 750 horsepower (559 Kilowatts), making it an impressive drag racing machine.
Which one of these cars is fastest on the drag strip. Let’s see.
