@@dz_gt500 i don't think that the Supra has 382 hp out of the box

[@itsjustWebbie]

Please find a good driver for that M2. I think it will beat the Supra with a better driver. (I'm still a Supra fan by all means) but make it fair!

[@BossPau]

Supra is just on another level and lives up to it’s name. Even against a gtr it’s never far behind.

[@benjaming.2218]

Racing 3 manual cars increases the variability of each cars performance compared with each other. I’d like to see the automatic versions raced. For example, my Veloster N with the DCT was a game changer as compared to the manual version. I’m curious to see if the Z would perform better. It was very disappointing to see it taken to gapplebees here. Not even close!

[@patthonsirilim5739]

The z with its Mercedes 9g tranny will do even worst then the Supra with its famous zf8hp the only car that might beat the Supra is the m2 with the zf8hp with more ratio it should be to put its power advantage to good use it might offset the m2 weight disadvantage .

[@tony_de_armas]

You guys need to replace the driver driving the BMW. What up with his long gear shifts?

[@miatadreamer-jack9613]

It’s pathetic to see people comment about shifting. These are the same guys that crash their mustangs. Just watch and be quiet

[@tony_de_armas]

@MiataDreamer- Jack I don't drive Mustangs...And I can outshift you and that driver. So keep dreaming about your Miatas. Lol

[@thatr34monster49]

Sam, you have so many couch 🛋️ racing drivers here. You should get some of these fast drivers to race 😂😂

[@SamCarLegion]

That’s the price you pay for uploading on the internet- everyone is a racing driver.

[@GhostFGM]

The Z continues to disappoint me in the performance department 🤦🏽‍♂️ but the looks are great.. The Z was made to make it your own I feel as far as performance modifications.... the Z has potential if you put the right mods in. I seen a channel on KZbin this shop made 700hp or more & it was Crazy‼️ I'll take the Z home & work on it BUT MUCH RESPECT TO THE SUPRA THOUGH that's a Fine Machine they have

[@gibbyboy66]

A lot of people holding the Z to this high standard. The supra and m2 are excellent cars, give them props. I know some will disagree but in general if you factor in the price they are pretty equalized in performance (again, factoring in price. A more expensive car should have better speed, performance, etc). Drive the new Z for yourself, it's fucking quick. I own one and it is something else. This being manuals makes it a harder comparison but the supra will win regardless. I guarantee you the Z is a more comfortable daily driver than the supra though, and it is my OPINION that the comfort is worth it to sacrifice mild performance deficits

[@01gtbdaily30]

My honest opinion that no one asked for would be the Nissan only because it’s a reimagined Japanese legend with a Japanese engine which to me speaks to long term reliability .

[@1laimmiss]

That don't mean shit. The engines are crap in the Nissan. The B58 is king. Bow down

[@bfiremitch]

Those VR30s have had their fair share of problems in the Infiniti's. There were wastefgate issues that plagued a decent number of them. To make matters worse, to do any work on the turbos you have to drop the engine

[@artemiscool67]

Sam you're great and I love the channel, but you should switch out drivers during some of the races to get a better sense of the cars/drivers. I believe you've done this on some vids.

[@thatr34monster49]

Switch drivers? Maybe the owners don’t want their cars to be driven by others? I wouldn’t

[@07acanoia]

I wonder does the Z have esc/traction control turned off or on?

[@geemanbmw]

LET'S ROLL 👊🏼

[@videogazer801]

I think the driver in the M2 needs a little more practice with his car, because it shouldn’t be losing at all.

[@SerNanos]

One pair of hands for the nissan driver

[@brandonpittman5243]

So when are they gonna test a z with decent tires?

It’s disgusting how BMW can get away with underrating it’s cars like this no way the Supra has anything less then 430-450 hp… I’d still take the only Japanese car there

[@carboydorifutoparty3976]

Your acting like Japanese companies didnt do this with the mk4 or the R34. Even the new z's power is actually lower than advertised since its by crank and not whp like the mk5/M2 is.

[@doorkicker8507]

Already knew who was going to win this. Even all autos. Supra will dominate. But that M2 in all black looks tits.

[@sportscarenthusiast3800]

That BMW tuned by Toyota never disappoints. Supra ftw

[@thatr34monster49]

Tuned by Toyota 😂😂

[@pacoflyer]

M2 should be 11.9 @ 120...it'd be helpful to list MPH also to see who was going to come around on the top end. Supra's are usually around 114 mph so the m2 should be freight training it.

[@SSH939]

It weighs as much as a freight train

[@TurkeyWilliams]

Really? Supra’s typically run low 12s right around 118mph.

[@G82Watts]

Hagerty race shows u just need a good driver. It obliterated the supra

[@rocavelli20]

I’m assuming the M2 has a 3.08 which is the traditional I6 gearing. It might not be as effective here but it will be very strong in big power applications. I’d much rather have the M2 gearing over the supras.
