I'm so glad you do stuff like this because it seems like it's forgotten in the car community but doesn't matter how much horsepower your engine or your turbos or superchargers could produce. If you can't put that power into those tires into the tarmac, It is absolutely useless. Just seems like people have completely forgotten about the physics

[@DarkLordDiablos]

Well its become a race to 2000HP and the prestige that comes with being the first to achieve it not to mention the money that will come with it. Also due to how complicated vehicles are these days there are less people trying to fix the problem themselves in the garage like they would 30 years ago so because of that so to some people car mechanics are on the same level as PC engineers were when building your own PC was only something certain people did.

Sadly, this is becoming rare in America. People are paranoid and jealous of each other and sharing ideas and makes them immediately think someone is trying to fleece them or control them.

Great episode and I'm hyped to have hi-low back! That being said, when you're doing head to head tests, for best apples to apples comparison you should really use the same driver for both cars. To avoid bias it shouldn't be someone from either team. Driver mod is easily the most important aspect of the test at the end here.

I Agree, but one needs to say that low car would have been even faster because Nolan is a less refined driver than Zach, at least from what we have seen over the years.

@@m_lies what I mean is that the new transmission felt different than what Zach was used to. So he didn’t know the how to drive it like he did before.

[@KRobertsonGaming]

both sounded awesome but low car just sounded so much better! Also i think High car having more difficulty in drifting was actually good as it did have the "better tyres and suspesion" and so actually makes sense.

[@mattswank]

Yep, you could just get less grippy tires or wait until what you have wears down and then use those for drifting if you really wanted to. I do wish at the end they had done laptimes not a drag race, and then also had multiple drivers do runs because that could very well be driver error.
