    Motortrends worlds greatest drag race 4 with BMW M4 & i8

    I was surprised how well both BMWs did against the competition.

    IMO BMWs have always had a low parasitic power terrain lose compared to the majority.

    Im kinda happy the porsche took the win, got a soft spot for those. I was interested to see the M4 vs the Z28, they are pretty close at the end of the track there.

    yeah I know... I was very surprised the Z/28 didn't beat it. if you look at the beginning you can see the i8 AWD and electric motors kick the M4s ass to off the line lol

    I think the z28s gearing may be a bit tall in order to gain higher top speeds. The i8 definitely showed its got some muscle.
