Crazy how fast the G87 is. In 3rd gear it’s like a jet fighter. Imagine the auto here, it would be even more of a slaughter.

G87M2 destroys Dark Horse. At 70k you think Ford could do better.

Many dyno’s show it’s not detuned so makes sense.

And THIS is why you tune race engines for the high end, rather than the low end.

And why I will continue to mock Throttle House, who seemed to think a car that could go 0-60 in 4 seconds was slow... because they don't know how gearing works.

+ X-drive, it would embarrass the others even more.

Still can't believe my 4,600 lb X3 MC runs mid 11's bone stock. No wonder it's so much damn fun to drive on the street. Long live the mighty S58.

I believe they were specifically testing cars with available manual transmissions here. I'm sure lots of autos would do better, but that wasn't the criteria.

Yep, the ytube comments are full of people saying stuff like "why not Nismo Z" because they lack comprehension skills.

(Nismo Z doesn't have an MT option, in case anyone missed the news. It has an AT only, and it's not even a good AT.)

Plus every car here would still pull on the Z even using a manual.
