It's the whole 'looks are deceiving' thing. A lot of us have grown up these days watching TV shows, movies or cartoons where the average looking, blend in with everyone character winds up being stronger or faster than someone who is not average and is superior in most ways. So a lot of us seeing cars that seem casual blowing up performance on the roads is ideally pleasing. At least that's my take on it. I too personally enjoy seeing the casual car smoke a suped up drag race looking vehicle or just simply putting on as if they were one. Have you seen some of the sleeper car races? Like a beat up old ford truck destroying a drag race car in a race because what's under the hood is insane on the truck? lol. Funny stuff to watch.

@@bmw7891 Trapping a higher speed doesn't mean having a faster time. Their is much more factors that goes into it. What he is saying right because for instance, in this video the GLI turned on it's JB4 tune and still lost to the KIA. The GLI with the JB4 tune traps a 8.4@ 87MPH on 1/8. That is low 13s, high 12s in the 1/4. Plenty of videos of it on KZbin. It shouldn't have lost, specially when the JB4 was turned on. If you read the comments they were in AUTO mode. The GLI auto-upshifts at under 4k RPM on auto mode while the KIA does it around 6kRPM. If they would have all been in manual mode using paddle shifters then the GLI would have been able to redline to 6kRPM. Which is why everyone is saying this race is weird. Obviously if the GLI is designed to shift under 4K rpm on auto, It will lose a MASSIVE amount of torque compared to doing it manually with the paddle shifters where it allows you to go all the way to red line almost.

Well let’s accept that even tho the 10 speed in the accord is brilliant the 8 speed DCT in the KIA is just superior performance wise, but the 10 speed is the overall better transmission, the KIA sure is more powerful 2.5T vs 2.0T what can I expect 🤷🏻♂️,I wish Honda have put the exact same engine from the type r in the accord with 306hp in that case it would destroy everything in the segment, but they didn’t do it because it would probably be faster than the type R, but Honda already shocked everybody when the 2.0T accord came out in 2018 and a new accord is coming next year, so let’s see 😬
