That impression of the porsche rev sound was excellent ...

[logicreversedt]

The videos with Rory and Alex are proof Alex can transcended the silliness of his other videos and mature to be a much better presenter. These two have genuine chemistry with believable, antagonistic banter, and they should be doing WAY more together.

I think someone hasn't measured out the 1/4 mile properly, those 1/4 times are about a second quicker than what they 'should' be in the dry!

[willbrant]

6:10 Rory... thats defo a CSL mate not a GTS unless I’m seeing things....Awesome vid. Actually thought M4 would be dropped a lot more!

[I-gs]

My God that GT3 just looks stunning!!!!

[padbender]

1/4 miles in 10.4 and 10.5 and wet conditions? Are you sure that's correct? I would have expected 11.4/11.5

[hamdanali]

ngl Alex has been an EXCELLENT addition to AutoTrader. in the same way content with Rory is everyone’s favourite, i now look forward to Alex’s content in the same way. what a brilliant man

[SirLoinOfsteak]

Alex in a BMW? I think this may be the first time I've ever seen that combo!

[jean-pierred]

That was entertaining!
The CSL did surprisingly well on the wet with reduced traction. Probably would have won on a dry runway considering the extra power (actually makes close to 600hp on dyno - tested multiple times)
On the track, the GT3 will definitely win but it should be close.
Both amazing cars!

[paouvous]

The GT3 did 10, 4s 1/4mile in the WET? No way!

[GranadoPechous-hhqy]

The failure of SVB and everything happening has left the markets in shreds. I'm at a crossroads right now, deciding if to liquidate 200k portfolio down by 10%, and it's uneasy for me to not panic after my recent awful divorce. I just need investing ideas to afford my retirement please

[vtunerlook]

That M4 is insanely uncontrollable traction... But when it come with good launch, that thing can beat 911 for sure... What a 2 big Germany monster

[bekabuidze]

No way those 1/4 mile times are real, it's closer to 911 turbo s time on a dry pavement.

[florianhaffner]

Considering the 911 GTS is NOT about straight lane speed, the Porsche is even more impressive. It always feels like Porsche engineers make a bit more out of every hp

[SapphireSamC]

That blue 911 needs matt or satin bronze coloured wheels in it in my opinion 👌👌👍

[jai]

I own a 991.2 GT3RS & a CSL and absolutely love them both! In a straight line once it gets going the BMW is definitely faster based on my experience. I haven't had the opportunity to drive the new GT3 so I can't speak for it. Love the content please do more of this...!

[Infinity_tp]

Incorporating drag racing into the channel makes so much sense. Weldone Rory. Love it!

[mys]

It's all in the launch, loved this😂

[Don_]

That guy did not know how launch the M4 CSL. Next time invite @matwatson to launch a beema

[PapiAndrey]

The Csl actually makes a little over 600hp at the crank. About the rated power, but at the wheels instead of the crank
