This is a great drag race to see but not really all that surprising. The Audi wins the race by virtue of its AWD launch and DSG transmission. Whomever was driving the 1M launched poorly. The 1M had the higher trap speed by 3 MPH so it is the faster car. Makes you wonder how the 1M would do with a DCT transmission. The video calls the Audi an automatic (not this again) and suggests it would win by a larger margin in the rain (as if drag racing the rain is smart or desired) leading both comments to sound, well, stupid.
ummm? 13.9 and 13.6? I think he meant, 12.9 and 12.6? My Gti stock 1/4 mile time is 13.9 at 101... and my cobalt is about the same @ 104. I want to see the TTRS
They didn't use a drag strip for timing. The point is just to look at the time and MPH difference not the final numbers as Brits don't know how to drag race or time properly.
