Tesla Model 3 vs BMW M2 Competition vs Audi RS3 - TRACK REVIEW // DRAG RACE & LAP TIMES

[@mtb0x]

Guys. Don’t ever apologise for or try to justify the fact that the two of you do EVERYTHING. You have full control. You’re putting out amazing content. And those of us that get it. LOVE you. Also. The subjective chat bit before the hot laps. One of my favourite parts. That’s where we get to see your charisma and chemistry of your friendship and partnership. I feel like I want to be your best friend (in a endearing way and not in a creepy stalker way) Your live videos where you just chat about the cars (the none Tesla electric car at a Tesla Rally and the Miata in a car park where James almost lost a finger) you guys doing that you could easy do one a week or fortnight. Anyway in short. You’re making great content. You look like you’re having fun. Don’t worry and please just keep doing what you’re doing. You guys RocK. 🤘 Also... where can I get a Throttle House T-Shirt...?!

Honestly some of the best car reviews out there ... period. Even have a race track now! It's like a Canadian Grand tour! Love it. You just need a fog machine to do the special Grand Tour slow mo foggy special effect panning thing they do! lol

Thanks buddy! Yeah we'll do some more live videos soon I swear

[@mtb0x]

James Engelsman since you came onboard the channel has improved in every way. I mean no disrespect to Thomas... he was a one man show before. And his work was solid and excellent. The difference now is. He’s getting to show off his personality and his charisma a lot more because he has you to vibe with. He’s loosened up a bit and genuinely looks like he’s more relaxed and having more fun. You’re a funny and charismatic guy. And the two of you together is creating an amazing synergy. The consistent duo dynamic has added a chemistry and fun to the whole thing. And I’m sure you being there has helped share the massive workload in editing and social media presence. The point I’m making is. You guys are a great team. You are putting together Excellent content. It looks super professional. And we have fun watching you guys have fun. The comedy, blended with the facts and figures. The down to earth nature of you as people. It just works. The balance is good. Just keep doing more of it. You both deserve respect and admiration. Making Unboxing videos and chatting at a table is hard enough to do on a regular basis. The kind of complex and dynamic car show you consistently put out and the quality your work is astounding.

[@davidt8087]

All it shows is that the tesla model 3 is madd for Americans who all watched fast and furious and suck at handling and corners and think drag racing and nascar takes "skills" and make them "pros". Teslas are so bad and are gimmick that make up all their absolute deficiency with instant torque and straight line. But then that's Americans and especially a moron like Elon musk for you who saw a formula 1 "steering wheel" once and thinks putting it in his shitty cars makes it a "race" car because in his Mind. "It's all about how fast the car goes dude. All that matters is straight line speed dude". Elon and his fans aren't like Thomas who actually drives on tracks. If Thomas got 1:13:89 the average tesla fan is so bad in corners and even take bad racing line out of corners they'd probably be way way down at like 1:25:00 or slower even. Micro brained Americans brains fry and go into meltdown on tracks and yet they put in a fuking yoke in a car lmfao. Imagine how many tesla fans are bragging about how "my model s/3 is so much faster Than you car dude" thinking straifht line speed from a red light or on the highway or drag strip is what matters, even though the rest of the world who are normal are about track time. American tesla fans say "what is a track? Who cares about lap time dude it's all about SPPEEED GOING STRAIGHT AND IT TAKES SO MUCH SKILL HOLDING THE WHEEL STRAIGHT AND MASHING THE GAS PEDAL". I mean of course they'd say that because every corner they see they are immediately braking so much and taking it like 3 to 5 times or more slower than a real drive like me or Thomas would.

[@trappychan]

They still come out from the factory too soft for the track, specially the Mustang. Even the PPs are still too focused on daily driving comfort. With a few mods the ex-muscle-now-GT Mustang and Camaro can go toe-to-toe with 911s, R35s, Caymans, Supras, M4s, etc.

The M2 is the clear victor in this comparison, and impressively it was the manual version which isn't the fastest from BMW. hats off to them

Many said that the suspension is too soft on the Tesla, but that's just because people complained in earlier cars. Tesla already has a in-house dynamic suspension on the Model X/S.

This is the best car show going. These guys are criminally under publicized.

[@johnwhite2143]

That m2 looks and sounds awesome, what a car 👍👍

[@aarongreen7249]

Don't forget the Model 3 is powered by 2 Permanent Magnet Alternating Current motors, if your gonna be descriptive with the other two powertrains.

[@GoldenDon548]

If you want to correct people, at least get your facts right. Model 3 has one permanent magnet SRM (rear) and one AC induction motor (front). But yeah, they could have given at least a little detail when they do the same with the other two. But i guess for them EV tech is something they are not familiar with and thus have hardly any knowledge about.

[@Chase_is_a_race]

And a motor controller to fool the motor that it’s acheiving ac current, when it’s actually dc current.

[@ASpec818]

The Tesla Performance is probably one of the best all around daily driven cars at the moment but the M2 Comp would be more fun on the track. Both are very well engineered. Great job on the track test!

[@wadegoodwin6773]

[@SSDracerSD]

Awesome chart! Times are stacking up.

[@KrishanuAR]

Favorite video from you guys, yet! I know it’s not something you guys typically do, but it would be really cool at some point to go through the hotlap top list and apply some street-friendly basic/easily available aftermarket parts and/or tuning to see how much things could change....

Great job guy’s you should invite Sasha Anis from mountain pass performance and try his modified model 3 around that track.

[@TheNick9910]

I feel like a tuned RS3, with a stiffer rear anti roll bar, and pilot sport 4s's or cup 2's, would really make it a much more capable car.

[@davejones8811]

It would still understeer. I've had 2 Audis and they are great in a straight line but both were horrible in the corners. The noise that came from the front tyres when cornering fast was horrendous. They are good daily drivers but neither of them put a smile on my face.

[@farhaztk2195]

You guys are awesome just like M2 competition 😍, superb reviews love it ❤️

[@alpenjodel24]

I own the 2019 RS3, but you really gotta learn how to drift it. But if you know how, boy you CAN drift it. Enter the corner pretty fast, then give the brakes a very short but hard slap while you turn in the steering wheel very fast (like a very exaggerated flick) and then you give full throttle as long as you want to slide, if you want to end the fun just release the throttle a bit and the car instantly straightens out. They modified the Haldex system since the 2018 model so it actually allows nice AWD drifts and powerslides.

[@TeacherToolkitDemo]

RS3 is a beast from launch but the M2 turns in so much better.

[@oo7Grexx]

Finally, someone knows how to drive the RS3. These idiots need to learn how to drive one. Specially the first guy driving it..facepalm

Yea and almost 50% cheaper. American v8s have come a long way

[@laijiang6162]

It is, but still not that fun and refined.

[@User-th6yy]

The 1le literally has 660 hp. Over 200 more than the M2, which surely lost some tenths if not a second cause of the manual. Why don't you put up the camaro against a 991.2 gt3? It still has 160 hp more but will lose badly against a car which is actually meant to get tracked

[@tovenaar1455]

User 1888 That was an SS 1LE. It has 455hp, so only 50 more than the M2 comp.

[@tovenaar1455]

User 1888 Also that 911 is more than double the price of the ZL1 1LE, and almost quadruple the price of the SS 1LE .
