American Reacts to European VS American Cars Drag Racing

Hello from Switzerland, my favorite cars is Peugeot 208 T16 ride by Sébastien Loeb at Pikes pic 2013 ( sorry for my English ^^ )

Warum werden in Amerika ,nur Motorleistung angegeben ? Weil bei jedem Dyno test haben die 50 bis 100PS weniger .

The White audi in the second video is a rs3 saloon

Awful sounding Hellcat sound vs the 5 cylinder symphony of the RS3. (The original Audi Quattro was its grandfather).

Best part about the Audi is it's a 2 wheel drive lol

so a modded car vs a stock dealership turd? good comparrison...

The problem with most newer American cars, especially the Dodges, is the weight. Hellcats are 4500 lbs, so even with 707 HP they aren't that quick.

C 63 amg

I would pick a american v8 over others. Its just the best sounding for me.

Always ody to see 4x4 vs fwd in standing starts

Those races in europe were on an airfield close to the german and dutch border. The Mercedes wasn't a regular S class as you said, it's the CLS63 AMG it's basically an S class coupé. And those RS3's are not running a 4 cylinder tho, they're running a 2.5L 5 cylinder engine and it's one of the best engines Audi has ever built. That blue BMW is a 3 series from the E9x generation probably a moddified 330 or something bit as you said not an M3
As always great video man!!

The muskel cars looks good but the interieur look like an 80 japanese car.

The Audi cars don't waste time spinning wheels their traction control is amazing hardly anything beats them off the line they do get reeled sometimes.

Hellcats and tesla's, are boring. They are the Glock of the car world, yea, they work.

Crap starts... nothing to see here.

Also, frontal air resistance at top end.
This is a joke, you need to know how to drive/setup American muscle.

It is the motorsport equivalent to playing golf, isn't it?

You should check out santa pod raceway in the uk

It is not what the Iwrocker wnt to show ...
... in germany drag racing is exotic.

Yes there are some drag race. But in germany is no drag racing place.
I know only one airport where drac racing event is onece a year and at a racing circuit is one drac racing event.

No permanent drag racing place is in germany.

Result drag racing cars are exotic.

McLaren is an Artura, V6 hybrid, that's why it only got a 12.2, but kept up with the Durango SRT Hellcat, which looked more like a Trackhawk to me, on launch. Audi S3 with a tune can put out some crazy numbers, but I still prefer my B7 S4, 4.2L V8 DCT AWD. It only pulls 12.9 in 1/4 stock, and it's hard to get much more out of it because it's NA and shoeboxed in, but I still love the car, and it's one of the very few in Texas.

These are nothing compared to the McMurtry…. It can literally drive upside down….

WTF, you have an Austrian License-Plate of my Hometown Graz, with your Name! How Cool! WOW

People might already told you but the Audi RS3 has a 5 cylinder engine and not a 4 :)

As an european i see some reasons to this. Engine torque on traction or 4wd vs full power on props, drag races are too short for us cars... if it was like 3 time longer power would make à "comeback"
And when you have eu props its mostly due to launch control for me. Having 1500 hp is no use if you cant transfer it efficently

It's the Quattro that does it

Audi is 👑

There is a Netflix show that gathered various cars from self built to hypercars and a Tesla. A Lamborghini, I think it was a Aventador won by a mile and it was mostly due to the 4x4 (and a few hp though it was stock)

The shown Mercs (s, cls, c) are mostly AMG with 6.3 litre engines and i must guess...starting at around 600hp. Correct me if im wrong.
My almost 20 year old VW Passat 3c Variant with its 2.0TFSI (200hp stock) modified to ~300hp still runs 260km/h (~162miles) with no problems. Super reliable car and motor.

Old Cars like MK2 or MK3 is mutch quicker than the American Cars...

It's all a matter of weight versus power. European cars are usually significantly faster when it comes to power versus weight ratios.

US cars say : "look at me, I'm a fat greedy big mouth, and I'll win".
EUR cars say : "shut up , fat ass, and try to follow me".
Funny how cars look like their owners : too bad for US.
And I don't talk about quality and reliability...LOL !
(by the way, it's not very fair to compare modified US cars
to regular EUR cars, but even when cheating, US cars fail).
Please US, don't try to sell that crap in EUR : it will never work.
Sell it to Saudi Arabia : they've millions of tons of gas to waste.

European vs American cars at drag racing....

An example of what happens when your car is a fat lardy lump of crap that needs 5 litres just to get the wheels to turn and you can't get the power down because you're still using suspension that they used with the horse and cart and it's racing a car that isn't any of those things.

You should look um the BMW 130d drag build from AS Performance
Pretty impressive how fast that diesel goes

Love American muscle cars but build wise they are all crap 😂

Why would any european want a yank tank..they just dont compare and never will

Hi there. In UK santa pod one golf mk1 diesel beats a lambo avatador so...
And remember the AMG Mercedes....
Regards from Portugal.

This dude is a hack doesn't know the cars lol

Wow! How many coffees have you had today IW? Very talkative. Lol. Thanks for a great video, as ever. 😎

What people don’t relize is the German cars will do that on a normal road while those American cars need that surface to even show their power which means an average human beeing that never drives at a drag track will never get that speed out of their fat American power car which makes them so useless

That McLaren is heavy for its size

quaddro
