Can A 2014 NASCAR Car Beat A GT3?

[@THEWINDTUNNEL]

Would you rather drive the Lambo or the Cup car?

[@mikegood25]

cup car, no doubt

[@Gelatinous_Behemoth]

Cup car

[@johnspeicher4175]

I'll take either one

[@LevyTheGamer]

Cup Car All Day Every Day

[@Mr_Turbo_Lover]

Cup car if it was a Chevy

[@THEWINDTUNNEL]

The Lambo is RWD by the way, sorry!

It’s OK man. ❤

[@tysoncragg1]

It's ok we all make mistakes

[@Gothicprincess8186]

Nah, you're good

[@Evolution_BR811]

Well, I was surprised that a circuit car was front-wheel drive. 😅

[@dewamadesuryaweda7254]

Is it a lambo or a prius 😂

[@MrJohansen]

Fun fact: these are the exact same engines NASCAR still runs, NASCAR just puts plates on them to limit them to ~670hp. Many team owners as well as Toyota themselves have said that it would be possible to change all the engines back to 900hp by tomorrow if they wanted at no extra cost. A bit of a shame how nascar wont allow that though 😞

[@minenhledlamini334]

The VP of Chevrolet and Jack Roush have said the same thing, even Kyle Larson said 900 is possible in a few days

[@retromario96]

Probably something to do with insurance, if I had to guess.

[@thegreattreon0177]

Nascar said they want to keep the hp down in an attempt to attract new manufacturers

[@axshunjaxon4561]

@@thegreattreon0177Just for Honda to not want to make Push rod V8s

[@56JKL]

NASCAR is just holding out hope for new manufacturers even though the racing is suffering as a result especially on short tracks and road courses. A real shame considering no new manufacturers are likely to even show interest in producing V8s.

[@MrJohansen]

Considering the stock car is half the price of the GT3 (actually less than a third of the price if we're comparing against new gt3 cars from the 2020s) and was only designed to run ovals, i say it's pretty impressive how it was able to keep up

[@tijmendr9006]

It does have almost a 1000 hp compared to the 500 of the gt3 but still i get your point

[@HirokaAkita]

@@tijmendr9006 well, its literally the embodiment of "space age racecar vs. dumpster fire horsepower". Also, in the long run, the tire wear would be INSANEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@bert1981]

@@MrJohansen only designed to run on ovals???? You do know that rubbish right.

[@mrhatty0514]

@@bert1981He’s not right but not wrong either. Gen 7 (current generation) are built with road racing in mind. Previous generations such as what was in this video, road racing was an afterthought. Chassis and bodies were asymmetrical in design and it took a lot of engineering to make them viable for road racing.

[@bert1981]

@@mrhatty0514 no it didn’t because they had different road course chassis which where built for that purpose.

[@axelode45]

If the AI wasn't so terrible and the cars were actually taken to their grip limits the GT3 would be even more ahead due to the higher grip and downforce.

[@MrJohansen]

I mean the stock car was running some horrible lines so i think it about evens out.

[@axelode45]

@@MrJohansen Yeah but the huracan has a higher grip/power ratio, so how you take the corners will have a slightly bigger impact on laptime than with the nascar, which relies more on straightline speed for fast laptimes.

[@v8ramair145]

This is indeed a horrible track for the Cup car and the GT3 would have a field day with it. The slow corners are its enemy with bad mechanical grip and high weight.

[@InitiateDee]

yeah I was thinking the GT3 is not taking the corners fast enough at all

[@LevyTheGamer]

Didn’t think it had a chance against the GT3

[@v8ramair145]

Agree. At this track, there's 0 chance. At something like watkins glen, the results may be different. The Cup car has no low speed grip and cannot come off the tight corners with its power to grip ratio.

[@truekera]

@@v8ramair145 stock car also hadnt high speed grip tho =) relative to GT3

[@v8ramair145]

@truekera actually, that generation had 3500 lb of downforce at 200 mph. Although it has no mechanical grip, it was no slouch at high speeds, which is where these cars mostly live (ovals)

[@Undeletedgold]

Gt3 needs a driver mod

[@jeremythurman5261]

Exactly what makes Cup cars so hard to driver and a visual demonstration of why former Indycar, F1, and Sport car drivers have performed poorly in NASCAR. You cannot over drive it without severe consequences. Too heavy, no downforce, and brake fade.

[@stryker1797]

Both cars perform in so different ways that I couldn't tell which one was gonna win but I definitely didn't expect the other to keep up so closely. My reasoning was that, either the Cup Car's massive power/weight advantage would leave the GT3 in the dust, or the GT3's superior aero wouldn't leave the Cup Car a chance to keep up. For sure wasn't expecting each car's strengths to compensate so well for its drawbacks.

[@josephneill691]

Basically, what i expected. The Nascar has the legs to pull away on straights but can't corner nearly as well as the gt3 (it's steering column is not realy designed for non-banked chamging radius corners hence nascar road races used to be chaos) so the Lamborghini makes up the time in the technical sections

[@tome1903]

The steering column really has minimal effect on the handling of the car, it's all in the suspension design (this gen nascar still used 60s style truck arm solid axle rear suspension, making this even more impressive) and the higher weight and center of gravity

[@ZPaul_]

Can you imagine the next gen with 900hp

[@Bakedbeans81]

That would be awesome and wild 😂

[@HansenSebastian]

​@@Bakedbeans81 Still no chance against the GT3s. Even a Next Gen car with that much power will NEVER be on the level of Garage 56.

[@FlashoftheBlades]

That was a closer contest than I thought it would be.

[@SkylineBNR34]

A prior gen NASCAR did a 2:12.911 for pole. Someone that can drive one of the older cars around a road course could probably put in some very impressive times. Current NASCARS do a 2:09.636 around COTA, but they are closer to GT3 chassis then prior generations.

[@aldoskyz8]

Cool race, very hard fight. Could be interesting to see in a little more fast track!

[@greg_63]

How much faster is 2020 LMP2 (600 bhp, 930 kg, many aero kits) against LMP2 in 2021 (540 bhp, 950 kg, only low-drag (Le Mans) kit) at Le Mans?

[@catjudo1]

I'd like to see how the Gen 7 NASCAR racer would fare, considering it's designed for better handling and actually races at COTA. Also, how would these cars (and the new Gen 7 car) fare at Watkin's Glen? Both short and long layouts should be in play.

[@SkylineBNR34]

2024 pole time for the NASCAR COTA race was a 2:09.636.

[@takenoprisoners6604]

2024 SRO GT America gt3 qualifying was a 2:03.137

[@paperclipmaniac]

Not a nascar fanboy, but Watkins Glen would be an interesting test between the two, with or without the boot.

[@Kazuki_Aozaki]

The GT3 cars win in terms of cornering sharpness and bottom speed, but the NASCAR cars have enough straight speed to make up for that loss. On a track with few low-speed corners, NASCAR may be able to win.

[@Mclarenator]

Try 2026 F1 vs 2000s F1 car-see how 26 years in F1 have changed

[@sean.8350]

Video idea: every generation of Mustang and its variants (RTR, cup car, gt3, and etc.)

[@56JKL]

I’d be interested to see the next gen car with the 2014 hp considering the new cars have a huge deal more mechanical grip and downforce as well as way better brakes, just without the hp. Funnily enough that mechanical grip, downforce, and insanely good braking are hurting the racing big time as well as the lack of hp

[@jerryalhafizh2341]

I want to see gt500 vs lmh at le mans please

[@JulianZwemer]

Does the GT3 actually have fwd?

[@the_ultra_robot6884]

No, it was a typo

[@1872959]

As soon as there were any significant turns it undid itself 😂

[@andrereaves2712]

Would a new nascar been closer or further behind?

[@56JKL]

Most likely closer, the new cars have less hp but way better brakes, much more mechanical grip, and a lot higher downforce.

[@takenoprisoners6604]

Lap record in qualifying for nascar in current car is a 2:09.636 from this year. Gt3 qualifying pole this year in SRO GT America was a 2:03.137. A 6.5 sec gap isn’t very close.

[@DavidSmith-gx5mu]

What's the track called?

[@HirokaAkita]

Now i wonder this: How fast would be a 2007 Gen 4 Cup car, against a 2014 Cup car on Daytona... *UNRESTRICTED* ? And how fast would be the G56 with a 2014 engine package on Le Mans? Also. This video shows how damn fast were those engines. Pre-2022 Cup cars had pretty obsolete suspension systems, and worse aerodynamics than a cow. But still, Cup cars shouldn't be underestimated.

[@the_ultra_robot6884]

I know the COT unrestricted can get up to 230 without a draft at daytona, on iracing

[@HirokaAkita]

@@the_ultra_robot6884 imagine that same engines, but with the arrow-like aero of the Gen 4s? oof...

Request: McMurtry Spierling vs W11 at Suzuka or Jeddah🙌🏾

[@Alan-ww8vi]

The lap isn't an accurate reflection of how the Nascar will perform because it didn't go off track by 20 meters on each corner.

[@xX_Gravity_Xx]

The Garage 56 Nascar would stomp on this GT3 car with restrictor plate changes.

[@truekera]

На самом деле, это симуляция в АС в iRacing ещё более очевидно, что у Логано нет шансов =) чтобы так ехать как едет тут форд, нужно идеально тормозить и поворачивать, сток кар с 900+ лс перегревает резину в момент в реальности GT привезёт стоккару тут секунд 5, а то и больше.

That looked nearly identical to when the V8 supercars and Nascar did their stunt together at COTA back in 2013.

[@youtubeaccount6539]

That’s actually really sad, GT3

[@real765rp8]

The GT3 car is closer to a road car than that cup car, you know. Stock Chassis with upgraded bodywork and slightly modified Road Car engine (in this case restricted to make less power than the road car). Sadly we no longer have true GT2 and GT1 cars, that would allow for better power to weight ratio and stronger modification.
