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

[@racc5828]

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

Just happy to be involved, love it

In Schnitz we trust 🙏

Comment of month!!! 😂❤ Also, same.

[@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!

GR86 actually looks big in this

So does the GTI

As a GR86 owner, it's nice to see the thing not get obliterated by every other car in a drag race

[@fastec5]

Only thing that ever wants to race me is V6 Camaros and Mustangs or Veloster Turbos for some reason. I've won all of them but still lol.

[@shijima_ending]

unfortunately, that mk8 gti so so much faster than the gr86. i was surprised it was even having trouble putting the power down during the roll as well

[@angelgjr1999]

@@fastec5I really doubt your GR86 beat any Camaro or mustang. Even base models come with 300+ hp now.

[@fastec5]

@@angelgjr1999 weight and gearing are big factors, the 86 is geared super aggressive. And V6 Camaros and Mustangs aren't fast lol

[@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!

[@mkohnm]

This is my favorite channel on youtube. I feel like I'm there hanging out with the boys driving some fun cars. Thanks Thomas & James!!

[@TraceyAllen]

Mighty car mods is still king, but you guys are doing some great things. This series has been really good.

[@Wiyn27]

James's pure astonishment at 8:43 was a good laugh LOL

[@robervin9107]

Thank you Thomas for opening up emotionally for me 3:00 I got emotional hearing it from you. You and James have now reached the fans in a emotional way. That connects us all

[@googleleavemynamealone9145]

what a nerd

[@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.

[@usmcplu]

I don't know why, but I revisit the original MR2 intro every once in a while. Never fails to give me a breathy little chuckle when James says "the "T" stands for toes".

[@taylorjs2534]

That was a fun twist! And, I couldn't help but laugh when you didn't bother to freeze the GTI on the finish line.

[@illuminatidestroyerbear2231]

I can't believe the gr86 beat the new golf😅

[@lks6825]

I was also surprised

[@TheShizzle622]

Yeah I'm shocked more people are talking about this. I know it's lighter, but the significantly lower torque and slightly lower HP had me thinking it would lost to the gti at least in the roll.

[@Ocastia]

@@TheShizzle622 maybe the gearing helps too, it seemed like the GTI was catching up at the end.

[@bigzkiller123]

I can’t speak on new generation golf’s but in my experience Volkswagens have always launched very sluggish not sure why (coming from someone who’s owned a lot of them)

[@jibosnjak9840]

Most likely the manual, which is kind of shit to launch. The DSG is pretty care-free to launch, if you discount some wheel-hop 😅

[@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

[@dirkdesouza5975]

Thomas and James, you guys are amazing and thank you for brightening all our days up..... Thanks to you two, leased a Mk8 Gti, traded and now a proud owner of a '23 20th anniversary Golf R.... Thank you....

[@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.

[@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

[@Chris0-58]

"...which means they have decals on the side that make them lightning fast." ~James, June 2023.

[@ichigozanghetsu]

As soon as I heard K20 mr2. I knew it would beat everything in that line up. The K20/k24 doesn't get swapped in to almost anything without a reason, and that reason is that the K series engine is probably the best 4 banger engine of the last 2 decades.

[@abcwarrior91]

Cause the k swap isn’t stock tune if it was it will lose to the fa24

[@antoinepageau8336]

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

[@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

[@markcollins457]

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

[@itsdefinitelynotdave]

Was the MR2 the most fun, or the most terrifying? Because it clearly gave James a straight shot of adrenaline 🏎️💨

[@Hagantic]

I love the "aw snap" licence plate as thats what you hear everyone else say at stop lights.

[@frankbrokercr]

The must fun endeed . . . And the fastest lol

[@JamesOKeefe-US]

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

[@specialdjonez]

Love seeing my old ae86 in these videos

[@viniciuspaiva8932]

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

[@MatsGarage]

Well if Toefuu can have a modern engine then just swap a 1.8T 20v into Schnitz, I did that in my Mk1 Scirocco and it was a completely different car afterwards. 80-140 km/h was done in about 5 seconds in 3'rd gear. The early 1.8T 20 fits directly onto the Rabbit gearbox so its quite an easy swap.

[@Sqnutt]

The 2.0 16v ABF from the mk3 is also magic in a mk1

[@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

[@Chris0-58]

James saying "YEAH" every time is therapeutic.

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

[@bag499]

Should drive! Q50 RedSport ! And Q60 red-sport Infiniti I want to see the track time. Because you guys did the TLX. Type S

[@Joose]

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

[@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 😂😂😂

[@DrivenbyOwen]

This just looks like the most fun drag race ever

[@MatthewGaither]

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

[@IamMarkSmith]

I'm in love with your Mk1 GTi. I had one as my first car. I miss it to this day 30 years and 6 VW's later. Great choice and excellent color.

[@Hilighted]

That GTI is hands-down the drivers car amongst the group, seconded by the GTS. Your GTI is still legend, even with those incorrect tires albeit winter tires, and you know this.

[@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.

[@TheBreakfastLover]

In this monumental race between Toyota's and VW's compact sport legends, Honda somehow got the win. 🏆

[@cheyennenathalie8556]

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

[@FlowStateNewOrleans]

As much as James smiled from driving the MR2, I smiled that much when you told us about the differential.

[@BradWilson1969]

I love a Wednesday video! It's too bad I have to wait until Thursday to see the Rabbit cross the line. 😏

[@muddyguns]

You guys Foo-kin rock! Totally the Schnitz!

[@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🙏🏻

[@ThatColorado]

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

[@M4rt_FX]

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

[@myUtube778]

This is not a diss….love your videos! Great work! Comparing these two OG vehicles to their modern counterpart is honest proof that we are living in a fabulous age for driving enthusiasts, regardless of the looming EV takeover. If the owners of those OG vehicles at that time (80’s) were to experience the modern driving dynamics of the current generation of these vehicles they wouldn’t be bitching about how the newest iteration are such a let down, (i.e.,Acura Integra) and car companies are just profiting from name recognition. Anyhow, true driving enthusiast, unless they drive on a racetrack every day, just needs to drive a version of any car with a manual transmission.

[@michaelswick4251]

That MR2 was crazy

[@ICedTea_ZAR]

It's giving Top Gear 😂❤❤

[@thegrimmer]

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

[@robertmitchell9276]

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

[@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!!!

[@Dwealdric]

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

[@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.

[@a-lens]

[@davidgriggs3967]

As a owner of a light weight 80's fwd hatchback with evo Lancer 4g63t swap I can relate to his grin from ear to ear they are effortless to get up to highway speeds and make modern hatchbacks look slow with their power to weight ratio.
