Porsche 911 GT3 vs BMW M4 CSL | Drag Race

okay everyone so I am in the new Porsche 911 GT3 with the big wing and next to me is a friend of mine Alex Kirsten who is in a BMW M4 CSL and today we're going to have ourselves little drag race to see which one is faster Alex um I do like your color um well um I have I've got primer Rory that's exactly what I was thinking but actually mate what I wanted to talk about was that these cars are actually very very similar in price but on paper they should be quite evenly matched what do you reckon yeah you are you are completely right but when you say a bit more power I got a lot more power I've got 550 horsepower and when you say a bit more weight I've got a lot more weight this is 1 625 kilos this is a a lardy boy it is which is what makes this interesting because lighter and less power versus heavier with more power we don't know how it's going to play out really do we we don't but I'm hoping that that talk will will win out the day okay tribal skill might have a small thing to do with that as well which I think I might have an advantage with it is launch control on that car is one of my favorite sounds because it goes [Music] it doesn't go like that it goes like this yeah that's good and with that fabulous impression of the 911's Flat 6 it was time to hear it for real with our first run of the day on the reasonably damp straight of the auto trader test track three two one go oh the force is gone oh dear oh dear I've got no traction whatsoever come on BMW there's about a seven or eight called existence 150 miles an hour over the line that was not good that's embarrassing I don't think that was a race I think there was a demolition we're gonna have to go again I'm just getting my iron but that just spun up the rear wheels one nil to the Porsche then but of course Alex had all the racing driver excuses what happened I was warming up my tires all right yeah okay did a little burnout here yeah should we do a proper one oh for real this time yeah yeah okay all right yeah come on come on you ready boy all right three two one go oh I pulled it back come on this is better come on come on stabilize is he pulling me in I don't think he is you know I think I'm gone no no no oh damn it much closer this time but still a win for the 911 GT3 we got up to about 150 there but I just couldn't catch him I need a mile give me a mile the traction was unbelievable and I think weights had a lot to do with as well he had more power but he couldn't pull it back in two nil to the Plucky Porsche and time for yet more excuses from Mr Kirsten what happened what did you have a good launch uh well I had I had a business call to attend to all right okay really busy Zoom yeah really busy I've also got less weight over my rear wheels we got more weight in total yeah which is bad one more yeah this is a proper one now you watch all right for real why your wife Rory three two one yes I'm behind but I am pulling it back if I missed the Rory Reed goodbye hello Victory am I getting away from him yes I am putting away that is a victory and one of 62 miles an hour that is more like it that time he had better traction and he just pulled away best attraction and faster reactions of the line brought the score back to 2-1 and this time it was my turn to offer up excuses so it's all in the launch basically I was pulling away wasn't I yeah yeah but mostly launch what are you saying one one final decider Winner Takes all Winner Takes everything oh come on let's come on dad [Music] oh my God he's coming back come on come on come on come on come on come on come on come on no no no no no no no no no no no oh yes I think I got it I think I got it on the line oh my God that was a proper drag race that was good just on the line GT3 takes the win the launch was oh 3-1 the final score then the 911 GT3 managed the quarter mile in 10.4 seconds while the M4 GTS Managed IT in 10.5 almost nothing in it what happened I won I think you won didn't you fair launch Fair launch yeah I think it was a fair launch you were coming back I was coming back if if there was another I would say 30 meters if there was another Runway yeah then we you'd have won and 40 Motorway bro I'll take you all day M40 you got it but that was what like half a car length maybe yeah it was tight I thought you would come back but yeah it was tight yeah good job but that was it for the standing drag races next it was time to move on to a rolling drag all right then boy I think I'm um pretty much ready good stuff uh let's get into it mate 60 miles an hour over the line and then we go [Applause] no traction I gotta jump on him oh I messed up my game changed little is he coming back talk give me that talk come on come on we are so close we are so close I don't know if there's enough oh that's so tight yeah that was very very close that was a poor launch lots of loads of traction again over the line but talk wins talk talk wins did you win no you didn't I absolutely smashed you what are you talking about that was even over the line am I what am I going mad you are going mad that was definitely a victory after Consulting video evidence it would appear Alex was both right and wrong he didn't smash me at all but the M4 GTS did Edge out the 911 GT3 by less than half a yard although again these cars are so evenly matched that without my fluffed gear change this probably would have been a dead heat but I graciously gave Alex the win thinking that I'd probably have an advantage in the next event the brake test from 100 to a standstill 100 break oh that is a heartbreaking keep going getting close was it it wasn't even close no point doing that again sorry hi yeah yeah sorry sorry ma'am just on a phone call so that was that was quite a victory it was buy some new brakes yeah yeah yeah yeah no you smashed me there right low weight wins and with that the Porsche wins 3-1 in the standing drags and one nil loss in the rolling race and the victory in the brake test giving it a 4-2 overall Victory less powerful it may be but the power it does have combined with its lower weight and some very Advanced driving from yours truly means the 911 wins the day but which one of these two is best around the track I guess we'll never know or will be stay tuned [Music] foreign
