    Whoever drives the Mopars on your channel launch them very well, they are a complete nightmare to launch

    • @ispeedalot
      @ispeedalot ปีที่แล้ว +49

      Not hard at all. For the narrow body just have it in track mode, (dont use launch control). When you’re ready to go slam the gas, cut the wheel slightly to the left, when you feel the car slide cut it instantly right & you’ll launch like a rocket. You can hit 3.6-4.0 doing that. Usually 3.9-4.1 is the outcome. Oh & replace the stock tires

    In manual mode in proper gear and not hitting limiter the Z would've won both rolls.(1st roll proves this as both cars downshifted properly and at the same time).The dig, some nice sticky tires and rematch would be awesome since they're rated low 4s or even 4s flat 0-60 it should won the dig also.

    Very interesting races - the two cars have close power to weight ratios. But besides the better tires on the Challenger, the Chally's 392 also has a lot more torque than the Z. That may be helping it from a dig too.

      Except in the torque department which is the difference. If you put a tire on both cars where there was no spin and let them loose with all nannies off the 392 will still jump ahead off the launch and stay there.

    Been waiting for this one, thanks and great job! Perhaps after some time and a tire upgrade you can give the Z a rematch with some of the cars you've tested it against. I've been pretty underwhelmed with the new Z unfortunately after watching so many tests, particularly track tests. I think it has the potential to be so much better with some tweaks.

    I think the z rolled out 7 years too late, needed 50 more horsepower. The z could have been a bigger player in the performance car market, there were a lots of camaros, mustangs and challengers being sold during the span, with the 370Z locked in the 2000s.

    • @TheFK8Life
      @TheFK8Life ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The Camaro is now dead and the Z is still alive- this Z is exactly what JDM rwd enthusiasts want vs a BMW pretending to be a Toyoyta.
      Miata - Gr86 - Z ....Japanese rwd choices are limited as an enthusiast and until Toyota throws a turbo motor in the GR86 the Z is the only one I would even consider.
      The new Z runs 10s with bolt-ons and 9s with full frame turbo upgrade on stock engine.
