750hp Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R v 735hp Mustang v BMW M3: DRAG RACE

.............................................................

Thanks to JM Imports for lending us their GT-R - @jmimports

It’s time for a US v Japan v Europe drag race! We’ve got a tuned Nissan Skyline R34 lining up against a tuned Ford Mustang and a standard BMW M3!

So how do they compare to each other? Well starting with Mat in the Mustang, it’s powered by a 5-litre V8 with a supercharger added to it, which as a result produces 735hp & 690Nm. It’s RWD only, and there’s no launch control to be found! 😬

Next up we have Yianni in the M3 Competition. It’s just stock, so that means it's powered by a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six, which puts down 510hp and 650Nm. It’s RWD just like the Mustang, but it has one key advantage - it DOES have launch control!

And then finally we have the classic Skyline. It’s packing a 2.7-litre straight-six, which has been tuned to produce 750hp & 800Nm. And unlike the other two, it’s got AWD!

There’s one key difference here though… While the BMW & Ford are automatic, the GT-R is manual! Will that be the key difference? There’s only one way to find out - LET’S RACE!

Every time Yianni yells "come on" Car gains 50 hp...😂

[yurmamsaho]

PLEASE get that “professional” driver back! His witty, brutal jokes made this more enjoyable!

[Skarfar]

Can we just appreciate how fast that STOCK M3 really is

[evansmeki]

the GTR will always have a special place in our hearts, but that M3 performance is nuts!

[TimLouw]

Can we all just agree that we want to see a drag race where it's the driver's put to the test. Same car, all manual and we see who's fastest between Yani and Matt

I love how humble that professional driver is.

[declankelly]

I’ve watched this video about 10 times over the course of it being out, purely just to see Yianni’s reactions to winning and his banter with the others. It’s so funny.

[Tgo_curt]

These lineups are so random I love it😂 definitely reminds me of the type of drag races me and my friends would have on forza

Matt’s wife: I’m pregnant

Matt: So, what exactly happened

[Muostafa]

Can't the race driver be the third musketeer? He fits so well with you guys

[OsborneCox..]

that M3 makes incredibly efficient use of it’s power with that 8spd transmission. It’s geared perfectly for that engine.

[markharrikissoon]

I really do enjoy these videos, great videos big fan from trinidad 🇹🇹

[slasheerr]

That "Professional Driver" is actually a whole lot fun! He's not only good at driving but he also doesn't hold things he has to say and I actually genuinely liked that about him. Good lad, fun video as usual! :)

[abovemadness]

Dam the R34 driver was launching so damn good with that, clutch game on 100

[pandamilkshake]

Even if it's a 30 year-old car, it kept up with a recent BMW M3 Comp and a recent Ford Mustang. For me, that's the real winner right there.

[tkmj]

That "professional driver" should be The Stig for Carwow

[bil]

the “professional driver” is fking awesome, he should be in every drag race from now on 💥 💥

[mainlandtoisland]

More videos with this racing driver he will make a good team member so your a trio because the banter is brilliant

[urbanfish]

Would've loved to have seen a cockpit view of Sam slamming through the gears in the GTR

[dmora]

OK seriously the enthusiasm is through the roof, that looks like so much fun lol
