BMW 128ti VS VW Golf 8 GTI : DRAG RACE

[naeeel]

The 128 ti destroyed it in every way 😂😂 I knew the car was a beast we were waiting for this drag race

[dill]

It‘s all about the launch, the ti gained speed while the GTI was struggling in the 1st gear, at the end they are pretty close. I think they are quite similar, would be curious to see a rolling race

[MultiLoofer]

Those cones might’ve been the dumbest thing I’ve seen in a long time

[claudiogelichi]

I have a 128ti, but I also tried for a day a GTI. Electronic diference is 100 years

[pimmen]

Result was expected, but i would like to see a rolling race.

It's obvious the bmw 128ti would win tbh. Don't know why anyone thinks otherwise. More power, more torque and grip.

[rezo]

I hear lots of spinning which I think is coming from the Gti
Please redo this race!

[worldolivier]

Gears are longer on GTI and mayve the start grip wasn't great. But two great hatch ! Even I would like to have a bit more character

[JoyPropane]

It's not entirely surprising - lot of people calling foul, but ignoring the fact that BMW claims 0-60 in 6.1, but almost every reviewer has easily gone sub 6 seconds, even in wet conditions... wouldn't be surprised if this engine was actually 280-290bhp at full chat.

[evangelospapagiannis]

That,
is a bad start for the Gti...

[YTB_JSNFARRELL]

This is more of a FWD diff/tire comparison than it is a car comparison. Lets see a roll race!

[LilMafs]

The BMW's dashboard is kinda weird. Also, M140i vs Golf R next?

[theodormff]

Who gives a damn F about 0-100 with such cars ? Show a rolling race and then you see the real power and how fast transmission reacts and so on..

[wainerollins]

The 128ti is a serious piece of kit.
I don't know about other areas, but I don't think the 128ti sells that well, because I have only ever seen one on the roads. The Golf GTI on the other hand is as common as air.
I'm surprised BMW can't shift these as normally if you put a BMW badge on a wheelbarrow, people will buy it.
I suppose the iconic nature of the Golf GTI is too much to overcome.

[dennisstaines]

This is why I ditched VW GTI's (after having 5) the quality dropped due to cost cutting measures and it is clear it has a poor gearbox. It does not sound that nice either. Worse news is that the Golf costs more.

[Cranky]

Got rid of my GTi due to constant electrical faults. Now own a 128ti and I’m so glad I discovered it. Chalk and cheese better.

[ettoremitali]

The Steptronic played the biggest role

[bimmerlife]

No fuckn way the 128ti has 265hp Bmw always lies about its power it left the GTI big time

[andreiarama]

A lot of people complain about tyres, but the truth is that both cars are new with standard tyres. If one car lose because of the tyres that means that car doesn't have the best tyres for the job. That means the producer gives shlt about their buyers and it deserves to loose.
But I'm sure that all car makers use the best tyres possible on their performance cars

[pfunanimarvin]

Not convinced about this race, 2nd and 3rd attempt before the rolling race.
