Toe Foo and Schnitz vs NEW Golf GTI and Toyota GR86 // DRAG & ROLL RACE

Toe Foo and Schnitz are back for a drag race alongside their newer offspring - the 2023 Volkswagen Golf GTI ($35,083 starting in Canada, $31,625 in the US) and the 2023 Toyota GR86 ($34,700 starting in Canada, $29,495 in the US). After the road trip, the cars needed a few repairs. But with everything in working order, and a desert drag race in the bag, Toe Foo and Schnitz are ready to prove who’s faster on the Throttle House drag strip. The new generation of these two classics are in for a tight run as well! What will happen? Things definitely don’t go as planned for this drag race. We hope you enjoy the episode. Subscribe!
Huge thank you to Clarkson Fine Cars for taking care of Toe Foo and Schnitz

[@racc5828]

Schnitz was just happy to be there. We love you, Schnitz

[@Pete_Finch]

Just happy to be involved, love it

[@opium42069]

In Schnitz we trust 🙏

[@cameronlotter1392]

No we don't. Not at all. Shitbox

[@markthibault8579]

Long live the Schnitz.

[@ANSWERTHECALLOFJESUSCHRIST]

Awww. 😀

[@CassisBlu]

Thank you Greg, for everything you’ve contributed to this channel. I’m currently learning just how much work production is so I’m thankful for your work in making Throttle House so good. I hope all your effort is recognized.

[@andrewmemije]

This comment needs more attention. Thank you so much Greg!! Every moment you had on camera and all the work behind the scenes really shows! Thank for you helping make what is one of the best KZbin channels ever. All the best on your future!

[@claytonclement9697]

GR86 actually looks big in this

[@tyhyhh]

Glad it is

[@NathanaelNaused]

So does the GTI

[@nopers2223322]

M6

[@purwantiallan5089]

​@@NathanaelNausedso did the Lancer Evo 8 and X.

[@purwantiallan5089]

​@@tyhyhhseems like so did the Viper GTS 1999.

[@acrummey85]

I once owned an identical silver GTI. It was, without a doubt, the most fun car I have ever owned.

[@JdmJrdn]

Same haha

[@Daniel_Colavecchio]

Mine was a 1981 Scirocco S in Mars Red with a full GTI drivetrain swap. Miss it to this day

[@taylor1212eminem]

Until you drove a fun car, right?

[@EdBruceWRX]

Had a 85 Silver GTI. Loved driving the twisty hills in sunny San Diego. Then got transferred to sunny Vancouver, BC and learned how to not slide off roads. Then moved to Huntsville, AL and found a mechanic that turned it into a slot car. Fun car.

[@toddstevens8506]

Mine was black, and despite only 90hp, I managed to get lots of speeding tickets!

[@aaronsorensen5165]

The MR2 sounds like an amazing sounding race car that’s gargling.

[@zoltansarkany]

The chemistry between the two of you is amazing. Thank you for these videos.

[@MusaA1i]

It's funny how at 3:29 you can see James (very passionately) recording his half of the video in the background

[@IDv8I]

I've seen that in a few videos, funny

[@laronda10]

These guys deserve 10m subs. In my opinion they are the only guys to find the chemistry the big 3 have. And they didnt have to try and copy them

[@alexlittig7927]

stock mk8 gti owner here. I was literally on the highway yesterday and a new GR86 wanted to play. He took off and than i did. The difference is small but i did pull away. about 2 car length's when i hit the limiter. i started a car length behind going about 50. But the difference is not huge like i said but i clearly had more top end. When you have cars that are not far off in performance it comes more down to driver skill, tires, road, temp, fuel, driver weight ext. so many variables that can make it lean one way or the other. I'm only 140 pounds which may have helped. but i did have 80 -100 pounds of stuff in the back. I am quite impressed with the top end of the gti stock. I think the power that comes in between 20 and 50 mph could be better. I don't really get that push until past 50. digs forget about it lol

[@reyfuentes4572]

Also transmission...a auto gr86 is slow since it's just a slushbox not a DCT...A auto gr86 vs a manual gti the gti wins a manual gr86 vs a dsg gti the dsg gti is gonna win...a gr86 manual vs a gti manual🫣 who knows but I seen a gr86 go neck and neck with a sti so I think a manual gr86 might edge out a manual gti but I do agree with what you said.

[@your-mom_was_here]

I Schnitzed when i saw title for this video

[@ponkacik8641]

You won today sir

[@GriffkinPT]

Then, this makes AC Schnizter a.... .....aaaaaa.... Nevermind.

[@leoncaples2947]

gesundheit

[@angeloah]

Bless you.

[@CrazySpartan150]

Comment of month!!! 😂❤ Also, same.

[@Lucas16baxter]

Love all the content guys! When available I'd love to see a comparison of the new midsized trucks, Colorado, Tacoma, Ranger. Here's hoping you can get your grubby little hands on 'em

[@ashleymadison9380]

I have heard of an overhead cam but I've never seen an overhead shifter.

[@markcollins457]

The AE86 was around when I had a 200SX Nissan the AE86 was always a fun little car and I preferred the styling.

[@viniciuspaiva8932]

as always, you guys make the best then and now videos

[@illuminatidestroyerbear2231]

Schnizt and Giggles my favorite car duo😂👊

[@antoinepageau8336]

If this video was made by any other channel I wouldn't have clicked on it. Always entertaining to watch your productions.

[@JamesOKeefe-US]

The car meet looks amazing! Cheers from North Carolina in the US. You all are awesome!

[@dhananjayadasacharya]

schnitz has an automatic sun visor deployer during launch ,bcoz of immense power the car launches into horizon ,and this feature helps driver to c better and not distracted from sun rays 😂😂😂

[@ChrisN06999]

James saying "YEAH" every time is therapeutic.

[@acerimmer8338]

Toe Foo has a magnificent intake sound. And then the MR-2...

[@reag_10gaming65]

I have a mk4 golf gti and I love it so much it may not be the fastest on the line but it is one of the most fun car ever

[@XR4turbo]

GR86 seriously impressive in this up against the K24 MR2

[@nielsdebakker3283]

depends what has been done to the k24, I do not think it has much more than headers.

[@tofuboi6836]

The kill switch bit killed me😂😂 AW11’s had the same thing and I remember my first time thinking I broke the fkn ignition

[@ymp6345]

They started the race between two Volkswagens a Toyota with a Subaru engine in a Toyota with another Toyota Engine, but at the end the winner was a Honda!!!! I love those second gen MR2, I also love the k series engine (I've currently got a K20Z3)! I would give anything in the world to drive a rear-wheel drive mid-engined Toyota powered by a K24!!!

[@random-person1]

For some reason your videos werent showing up in my feed, but im back now.

[@x7wolverines7x]

Wtf where’s the Integra video 😂

[@cheyennenathalie8556]

The gti will forever be my favorite ❤️ love that you chose it❤

[@MrBlueJK4]

Being a US citizen, and watching this video at 2:30pm on the 23 of July, sorry I couldn't make the car meet, looks like it would have been fun.

[@ThatColorado]

Yes the sounds of a high revving honda engine.. it's beautiful

[@michaelswick4251]

That MR2 was crazy

[@Fishfindr007]

Awesome video as always guys. Future video suggestion…how about an outgoing S550 mustang drag race and track battle?? All outgoing S550 mustang iterations showdown!! Please and thanks🙏🏻

[@robertmitchell9276]

That K24 just wails like its in a F&F Boss race.

[@valentinorossi7771]

That Rabbit GT! was my college car! 1984,almost 4 decades ago. I drove it from Iowa to Miami back then at 55 mph. Took days.

[@jacobrev6567]

I absolute Love Thomas his golf on his plate number 😂👍

[@VidiSLTU]

MK1 and Toyota GR86 great cars ! Always love it old cars. Old cars are with character, unique design. No need more power, just drive and enjoy.

[@tom5988]

Of course Toyota announces a GR86 Trueno edition the day after this video gets posted 😂

[@ashleymadison9380]

More than once I've said "that's the wrong one for this rear end" 7:32. I Schnitz you not!

[@Joose]

Gen II MR2s are still some of the coolest cars to ever exist.

[@DoSum4Me]

A friend of mine bought a new MK1 GTI back when they were new, he told me he took a road trip to the far north of Quebec for a camping trip and had a blast. He sold it when he got married and had kids for a van.

[@elliottharley1386]

Best car there, Rabbit/Golf GTi. Character and class

[@mikebridges20]

FINALLY y'all posted some new stuff. It was serious detox here for a while! Good on Schnitz, perfecting the art of rationale.

[@drewwagar]

I feel the Rabbit GTI is the moral victor here. Oldest and most reliable. :)

[@MatthewGaither]

That MR2 gave ME the fizz and I was just sitting here watching the video!

[@lavere]

I'm most definitely bringing my stock s2000 from Durham to Oakville for this meet!!!

[@wolfprowler]

Haha amazing My wife and I loved watching your epic adventure while we were on vacation. Bloody brilliant! RIP old school lol

[@clintonkeyes186]

I always try to watch your videos when they first come out

[@GoFast58]

MR2 reving: subtitles "music". Damn right.

[@greatheightsu]

That MR2 though! Now that is a fucking dope car.

[@larrysmith6797]

James didn't know how to work a steering column/ ignition lock release button. Damn kid.

[@christopherfascenelli2454]

You guys should get a faster frame rate for the finish line shot so it's not so blurry. Love these videos, please make them for forever.

[@kbc213700]

I have to say that I completely get Thomas' delusional yet committed wunder-lust for his Schnitz - I do. While at the University of Western Ontario, in 1983, my 2nd year, in a slumlord-house on Central Ave (way to close to Joe Cools) one of the boyfriends of one of the girls that also lived in a flat had a brand new GTI. It was incredible. SO Cool. So practical, So Quick. I hated the preppy little bastard that owned, but I did respect his choice in German autos. I longed for one then, and this still get my attention when I see them now. There was, and remains something about that car in that era that just perfect. Well done Men, Well done.

[@thegrimmer]

I definitely didn't expect the new 86 to keep up with the GTI

[@lourensduplessis3410]

There are so many more episodes for them, come to South Africa and do a 4x4 trip through Namibia. Thomas and James - you got this

[@Heinry-11]

will love to see an episode about restoration of Toe Foo and Schnitz

[@namtrader9674]

Toe Foo sounds awesome

[@dandoubleyou_]

that k24 babyyy! I love my 9th gen Si :)

[@purwantiallan5089]

I always "SCHNITZED" whenever i saw this drag race!

[@johnmoesner9227]

Throttle house has got to be the best car review channel. #2 next to donut media overall for car channels.

[@collinsnyder8682]

Donut media guys are beyond annoying. The number of times they say bro and dude makes me think I'm too old for their target audience.

[@__N7]

AE86 Trueno, my dream car

[@sneax3569]

Didn't expect the mr2 would smoke them all

[@WTFNoNamesLeft2]

I had a first generation MR2 in 1998 as my first car. Even then you could start the thing with a screwdriver.

[@anonymous__j9295]

July 23rd will be busy between CSCS and the Throttle House meet 😂.

[@drapespeed9217]

K24 baby can’t wait to finish my rbb3 for my crv

[@MidnightAspec]

Im a Honda guy but that GR86 is really starting to grow on me. Honda should have joined the Subaru/Toyota guys to subsidize a Honda Prelude variant.

[@ICedTea_ZAR]

It's giving Top Gear 😂❤❤

[@xAtrizy]

What watch do you have Thomas?

[@Dwealdric]

"There's no view here, this is southern Ontario!" As a fellow southern Ontarian, that's incredibly accurate.

[@felixdysonjr6768]

Another great episode

[@MaddNomad1015]

Whenever I see the GR86 and Corolla GTS/Trueno/Levin together, the more I don’t see the similarities between the cars. Other then name and layout the GR86 looks like it could be the Celica.

[@leocui03]

Another meet!!!

[@SnappyWasHere]

High stakes racing! Win or put it on the trailer!

[@michaelwilburn1001]

I would have wanted to see the Elantra N in this line up.

[@optimus_slime]

That MR2 was quick 🤯

[@matthewwain9958]

Love it. Absolutely love the Trueno. Dream car. Well done, and enjoy it.

[@frasercarson7213]

Would love to see more old(er) vs. new. Great stuff as always!

[@M4rt_FX]

Another great vid from the best car show on KZbin. Work boys!

[@sjhudon386]

We need more info on the MR2. Just an NA k24?

[@Natepwnsu]

I guess it doesn't go without saying that, the more traction you have, the more stress thats put on your diff. I.E the more Traction and the more Power u load up on a diff, the higher probability it will fail. Never skimp , always buy the best OEM or Aftermarket Diff for a car that isn't stock.

[@Sheepleton]

That MR2 looks like a good time. I'd take that over the new cars.

[@BackToWar100]

idea for the next drag race old variants around 2008-1010 of Mitsu Lancer (152hp 2.0 diesel with Rockfoarfd inside) and Subaru 150hp vs stock 2 from today around same price with inflation

[@gogopedia]

Amazing challenge..

[@roninlaw9824]

That K series MR2 was great!

[@ronnybrown2012]

We need to see both cars more. We need a series of them getting modified or upgraded.

[@WolfnWool]

If I didnt buy a manual Golf as my first car, my life would probably be extremely different. Whippin a manual Golf R now 16 years later!

[@frankbrokercr]

This race was 🔥👌 epic in two time lines

[@hugovallarta]

Boys your videos makes us so happy. Thank you

[@chillwithcars]

Hahahahaha I absolutely love this channel

[@HarryTwatter]

I actually just bought a 23 gti in that same color it's a nice car

[@randallbollinger9625]

Yummmmm, Honda induction sound is so wonderful

[@thehighgamer1720]

I do believe that's a Honda K series in that MR2

[@rockingchairtherapy]

Just bought a 2019 golf altrack. Almost went with GTI 40th but that infortainment is so bad! Hopefully they change their tune come 24/25 models eh. Cheers Gentlemen!

[@Scpa21]

Great 😂video. But who’s waiting for their type S review video

[@leviwilsoon2307]

No way y'all's car show is my birthday.. too bad I'm from the states

[@ivanjovanovic362]

James should patent that 'Yeaahh' it's hilarious

[@xidentity872]

I'm so mad I can't get the special edition gr86!!! Glad to see it

[@noneofmybusiness9895]

Toe foo - that's awesome

[@jdmfreak22]

Was the new Golf with the hand brake on??? lol! Never would have thought the GR86 would beat it!

[@SME5724]

That MR2 😍

[@Scootworth]

Love the MR2 cameo

[@drebarthelotte5712]
