850hp BMW M3 v 860hp Ford Mustang: DRAG RACE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Dr9Ah2bMuI
It's time for two reworked RWD monsters to battle it out in the quarter-mile! Mat is the first to arrive in a F80 BMW M3. This would typically be driven by a 3-liter twin-turbo straight-six, but in this case, the two turbos have been swapped out for one huge turbo, allowing it to create 950 horsepower and 1,100 Nm of torque! The output has been reduced to 850 hp and 950 Nm since the vehicle can only generate that much power on a prepared surface while rolling on drag slicks. The Mustang is up next. It has a 5-litre V8 engine under the hood, but it now produces 859 horsepower thanks to the addition of a supercharger.
BMW M3 And M8 Competition Meet In Family Drag Race
A nail-biting rivalry of speed was recently observed in a drag race between the BMW M3 and M8. The racetrack was designed to accommodate two rounds of competition: the quarter-mile race and the 0-60 mph competition to determine which car was the quickest. Even though the M8 Competition's engine produced 625 horsepower compared to the M3's 510, the M3 was lighter, thus it was a close call. But, the M8 prevailed in both rounds, and the audience was in awe of its amazing performance. Ultimately, it was a great event that saw two powerful BMWs demonstrate their racing abilities.

One of these E60 M5s was recently put to the test on a dyno, which gauges an engine's power output. The automobile generated 457 horsepower and 327 lb-ft of torque at the wheels, according to the test data. This is less than the claimed numbers, although engines sometimes lose some power as a result of the drivetrain. Despite this, the E60 M5 continues to be a strong, competent vehicle that offers a thrilling driving experience.
