nothing beats german quality 🔥

I’ll let you pay my next RS 5 service.

@@sandersonjd776 you probably don’t have a car let alone and rs5 borat
-
Yes, EU!
-
Except the term “quality”. Not true for a long time now, quality getting worse for at least 10 years. Mercedes for example is worst offender in terms of interior quality decline – everything squeeks and just looks cheap, audi recently had many quality problems with electronics (a little bit better now)
-
If by “quality” you mean it’ll be at the dealership your 2nd month in, then yes. If you want real quality, you buy Asian (Korean and Japanese). Everyone knows that

German hp is the real horsepower. American hp is overstated
-
Correct, America gives crank HP and Germany gives wheel HP.
-
@@weebly_that isn’t really true. Have you ever dynoed any cars?
Some models are overstated or understate, and some brands tend to overstate or understate, but your blanket claim is not accurate. -
@@_Chev_Cheliosno American cars are shite mate growbup all bark no bite
-
Not accurate. German hp is usually greater than stated. American is usually bang on what’s stated.
In this case the Mustang had traction and gearbox issues. See the full video for the explanation of this -
Always going to choose a german muscle car unless I just need sound but what’s the point when it can’t win a drag race with that power. Money went waste😂
-
-
Germany is this even a debate
-
Americans failed to spend on traction control😂😂
-
Traction control is the enemy of freedom. 🇺🇸
-
Ford at least. America is Tesla, the best traction control ever made.
-
@@aussie2uGAAmerica is Tesla. Man you guys have claimed the South African fully huh

@ you have proof of all this? If so provide links and don’t just talk

-
American: 1 gear, AAAAAAA 2 gear, AAAAAAAA 3 gear AAAAAAAA 4 gear, AAAAAAAAA
-
That’s what Yanks do best in everything, always over the top and Loudest 🤣
-
America. No transmission, no engine, pure instant torque from a/c motors at each wheel for the win…
-
-
Torque, gearing and weight are more important than horsepower 😂
-
Well torque only for 0-80km/h, or while shifting gears, horsepower matters more in the end. But weight, gearing and gearbox speed are indeed super important. And above 130km/h(80mph) aerodynamics and power are king.
-
@@rattlehead999so why you comment
-
@ Because if you learn to read you will understand what I said.
-
Just face it. The ford got absolutly destroyed. I am not actualy a BMW fan but one thing i know is for sure you can never compare ford mustang to the BMW.
-
@@hahsimalbeity3162 Absolutely destroyed isn’t really it, they are close enough and the Ford costs 45 000$ while the BMW is 66 000$. So it’s also something to consider.
And I like both cars equally. XD

-
And Trump doesn’t understand why Europeans don’t buy American cars 😂
-
Trump doesn’t care, bro. 😆
He can’t even legally drive. -
Yep
-
As an American, I refuse to buy American cars. And I voted for Trump twice.
-
@@snakeeyes9246 trump started trying to expand presidential power as soon as he entered office this time. Yall gonna have a dictatorship in 2 years
-
@@snakeeyes9246 😢

BMW usually underrates the horse power, also they have faster automatic transmissions and better launch control. And the BMW is lighter.
-
The bmw is T/C and the other is N/A
-
@@wisdomugonna4910 So you have more torque quicker with the Turbo?
-
@@rattlehead999yes of course.
-
By usually you mean ALWAYS?
-
-
The Ford Mustang sounds like a Nascar
-
Only thing it’s good for, roars.
-
-
BMW famously understate the wheel horsepower the beemer probably closer to 500 wheel ,mustang probably 450-490 crank horsepower
-
And the bmw can turn without crashing !😂
Alas, they don’t have turn signals 😅 -
It’s fine. You should always give Mustang competitors some handicap. It turns 20 % of the fuel energy into the NOISE. It’s noise with the capital N. It’s an integral part of its overall performance, show, and fun. However, we call it, it’s probably a big reason why people buy it.
-
Explain that every time you lose.
-
@DannyFR30 I can imagine that 90% do not race. Just enjoy the ride.

Im german i like the mustang because of its sound i love it . But gas is so expensive in germany and my 310 hp cupra with 4 cylinder is as fast as the newest mustang with 450 hp its both 4.9 sec and i have 4 doors, more space,less gasprice and traction is way better because of awd. My decision for the cupra Formentor was clear and inside it looks much better too..
-
Oo😅😅ip😅poppp
-
The mustang does it in 4.2…..
-
@@kilotiger7780Bro a darkhorse does that when tyres are warm
-
I heard the Cupras come with a tampon receptacle standard.
-
Dafür sieht dein Cupra scheiße aus, hört sich Scheiße an und nach 120000km ist der Ofen aus. Der 5l v8 hingegen ist da gerade mal eingefahren. Fährst du ein Hemi Motor beispielsweise den 5.7, 6.1 oder 6.4 von Dodge dann hast du auch noch eine Zylinderabschaltung und kannst den im Alltag ganz gemütlich fahren. Mein alter Challenger mit der 392 cui Maschine von 2016 hat im Alltag um die 12l verbraucht und wurde trotzdem gut getreten. Hat mittlerweile 160000 km runter wovon ich selbst ca 120000 km gefahren bin. Nie Probleme gehabt. Steuern und Versicherung sind hoch aber alles in allem geiler als alles was Deutschland baut.

Consitency and mechsnical as well as aerdynamic efficiency
-
M2 is winning either way because it makes 525hp in the real world and also it costs like 50% more atleast in america.
But i wanna point out Sam had no clue how to drive the mustang. Manually changing the 10 speed makes it A LOT slower in the 1/4 mile. Im talking at atleast a few tenths of a second. The best times for s550 and s650 mustang gt 10 speeds bone stock are 11.9X in ideal conditons on a track purpose. They are stupid fast for the price.
-
На М2 стоят не заводские диски, они слишком большие и тяжёлые, что негативно влияет на ускорение автомобиля, и этот спойлер он его только тормозит на большой скорости.
-
Let’s just be grateful the mustang didn’t crash
-
You need to know the difference between hp on wheel and hp on the flywheel
-
I predicted carwow would do this exact thing! Take the entire race, take it out of context, and use it as a publicity stunt in a short. Here’s my comment in the full video, that shows all the issues/cheating…
He’s (Sam is) NOT good at launching it! It takes knowledge and skills to pull off a great launch in a Shelby GT350 (dump the clutch at 6k rpms and modulate the throttle, or the car will bog). There are two levels of traction control and he had it in the “not fully off” setting (hold traction control button for 10sec for fully off). In the US we have laws that protect the consumer, and warranties that MUST be upheld. Therefore, two settings. One for the idiot, another for the skilled driver. Next, these cars were selected to be close in power to weight ratio by their modifications. It’s not german power vs American power. They were both put on a dyno and tested to be a match in power to weight ratio. The test is the German transmission vs US transmission. Then, it’s a manual vs an automatic. Ford makes a very very good 10speed auto, which this is not. Essentially, we have skills of a driver that just got dropped into a car he knows nothing about without practice that is required of all cars, vs a car that is an auto that requires little to no knowledge. Ofcourse, the auto was going to win. Next, lets turn the tables and use a car with a 10speed auto (which would have to be a modified GT since the GT350 only comes in manual) and test it against these two cars, plus a BMW with a manual. That would be more fun and more fair. BUT, we still have an issue, as cars are rated at peak power, not how much average power they have throughout the powerband. A turbo car will have a flat power curve where the power hits early then holds the entire way to redline, while a naturally aspirated car rises in power, and keeps rising until it peaks at the redline. The average power will always be less in a naturally aspirated car than a turbo car, thus the same peak power between the different setups will result in a win for the turbo car. Put them on a dyno and calculate average power for the two, and then match the ratio of that number vs weight… and then you will have the closest race. Enjoy… This is really not complicated to figure out. -
Even with that massive wing on.
