Today we drag race two manuals versus an automatic with launch control. Come back next week where we see what's fastest a Ferrari F12 or my gran in her Suzuki Vitara.

If the TT RS is an automatic, then why didn't drivetribe get an auto M2 and an auto Cayman? Would seem more fair to me :P

[squidwardshouse]

I simply love the Miami blue on the Cayman

[RacingRalphEVO]

Yeah, that comparison is as pointless as it gets. Manuals are not for performance, they are for fun.

[roostville]

TT RS 0-60MPH in 3.5s. That's very quick! I'm quite surprised it's that quick

[VoltMX]

This makes no sense... Ofc the TT will be faster will a automatic.. Now go do it again with a PDK in the Cayman..

Wait till the TTRS is tuned. That 5 cylinder engine is an absolute masterpiece. 500hp just on stage 1 tune.

The M2 is a great car for the price, unfortunately you can't find any. Long waiting list.

Awesome driving skills. PERFECT manual gear changes-especially for the BMW M2. You owned it

Slowest incarnation of the M2 versus the fastet incarncation of the TT. Unsurprising result really. The Porsche is incredibly impressive, given it's got about 20bhp less than the M2, but is over 2 seconds faster to 130mph. Insane.

Please include kph for the rest of the world. Thanks.

The Porsche will probably be the best drive and quickest on a handling circuit.

I've driven a TTRS for about a month and it's SOO underrated. You can get a manual one in the MK2 TT with the same 2.5 engine. But the MK3 auto box is perfection

[erictko]

Nice job Vicky, you're a welcome addition to the already solid team of Jethro and Henry

[Perdy]

I've always wondered... when these people review cars and they say it's more "fun" because it can drift.... how many people who own such cars would ever take the chance of drifting it?

[Bonesx]

This does serve as a good comparison between a manual and dual clutch for pure performance. It would have been nice to have a PDK Cayman to compare as well. But at the end of the day, I dont mind because I'd still prefer the manual.

She sounds like she's about to burst into tears cause someone stole her cat.

[mituc]

Go Vicky go!! So all good people of the British automotive journalism join the drivetribe these days, eh?

[hendrikwinkels]

That is Vicky Parrot, if i am not mistaken and she is a superbe car journalist.

[famrue]

What a suprise, the awd dual clutch automatic car was the fastest....👏🏻
I really dont get it why al these car-review channels only do standing starts.
If you want a standing start thats fine, but just do a rolling start also, Lets say from 10mph (15-20kph) to ....
It wil take away the advantage of the awd car and it wil be much closer and more even...
Such a shame to me

If you want a fast point to point car: Audi.
If you want to have fun and always keep your keys on the table: Porshce.
If your best friend is a mechanic: BMW.
