Another completely pointless CarWOW drag race video: 6MT M2C vs DCT M4 in the wet

. The track portion is only slightly more pertinent given the different transmissions. Entertaining nonetheless.

Stupid due to track conditions, but that’s the UK for you. Idk if the result would have been different in the dry, but his face when drifting M4 vs M2 says a lot. He almost looks bored in the M4. Would have been so much more valuable to compare in the dry.

I think that's staged based on what he wanted the video to say...

Wish it was in the dry. This shows nothing.

uniqueMR · 03-23-2019, 11:21 AM

Carwow is kind of anti-M

hellrotm · 03-23-2019, 01:09 PM

Not only is it wet, but dct vs manual. Fail.

mindcontrollerone · 03-23-2019, 03:59 PM

This is a joke... the car is in efficient mode.

Also not in M dynamic 🤣

THEROK · 03-23-2019, 04:55 PM

'18+ ZCP M4, dark trip6s with the factory aero bits the best looking of all the F8X models.

M2 just has horrible proportions from the go.

Bahn360Photo · 03-23-2019, 08:44 PM

Well apples to apples would have been nice

Mt to mt or dct to dct

Reviewers often don't have a choice, they review what they can get their hands on so it is what it is and a border line fun video

kyrix1st · 03-25-2019, 04:58 AM

Mat failed to mention that both now have steel shafts.

MFNATIK · 03-25-2019, 11:28 AM

to be fair they both were in efficient haha

I wouldn't allow any of my passengers to experience my M4 in efficient mode, lol. Not even my mom. These guys are racing with it 🤣

gabriel.psd · 03-25-2019, 11:39 AM

Am I the only one that immediately dismisses whatever a “test” is trying to accomplish if the driving surface is wet?

Flying Ace · 03-25-2019, 11:54 AM

I predict hurt feelings in 3...2...1....

UGADawgFan · 03-25-2019, 11:55 AM

i think you guys are being a little harsh..the reviewers mention everything you guys are flaming them on (auto vs dct, weather, etc etc). Nothing wrong with doing testing with bad weather; Top Gear/Grand Tour do timed laps regardless of the weather. (Super annoying when your favorite car has to do a wet lap, but it is what it is right?).

Well that's up for debate

Transfer · 03-25-2019, 12:38 PM

What's wrong with a test in the wet? Ohhhh you guys don't drive when it's wet. Got it.

F8x owners always thinking they're in god's chariot.

well, the wet pavement only affects the M4 not the M2.

It's not fair. You see, one must only test a car in the most of ideal conditions that is in a temperature controlled clean room like how spacecrafts and GTR motors are assembled.

Then under the most ideal conditions, you strap the car unto a dynamometer, set fan speeds to 70 mph and only shift the gears at precisely 7480 RPMs. Then the true nature of the DCT gear box can be compared to the 6MT with possible needs to extrapolate how gearing ratios and coefficients of drag may mathematically translate into track times.

The final part of the test consists of booting up the PS4 and testing both cars in the virtual environment to ensure no other variables can affect the outcomes of lap timing.

Masterofgoingfaster · 03-25-2019, 03:11 PM

What would you guys suggest, upgrade from a M/T OG M2 to a M/T M2 Competition or a slightly used(2.5k miles) M4 CS with DCT?
The price difference is negligible, but I'm kind of a manual transmission only guy, at least I thought I was until I was offered this deal!

I'm really in love with the looks of the CS, but I have never driven a car with DCT.

M4 had CCB?
