- Full review, track battle, and drag race of the Blackwing versus Plaid versus BMW M5 CS - what better way to find out why the top dog Cadillac is an icon?
In this episode, Jason Cammisa reviews the CT5-V Blackwing along with the CT4-V Blackwing and the BMW M5 CS, and brings along a TMS Plaid to show why future Blackwings will be electric.
SCCA Hall of Fame race-car driver Randy Pobst breaks the sedan lap record at Willow Springs (Big Willow) three times in one episode: which of these 3 super-sedans is quickest around a track?
The episode starts out with a drag race to see which one is quickest in a straight line - and the results might surprise you.
This is the definitive review of the CT5-V and the most sideways review of the BMW M5 and its incredible AWD system.

#JasonCammisa #HagertyICONS #NeverStopDriving - Auta a dopravní prostředky
To everyone involved in this film: Take a bow. This was epic, insightful and emotional! Amazing work by the Hagerty team. Bravo!👏👏👏
Now this is high praise if I've ever seen one, and much deserved, too!
This truly was an amazing video. And the only video that I think matches this production quality along with excellent commentary is the Audi RS6 video that Carfection did last year. Great job guys!
Honestly everything was amazing, long enough to sit and watch but left us wanting more, editing and film angles is at a level that would embarrass Need for Speed, the car selection was like a long awaited boxing match (nothing Logan Paul) and the delivery... Well its Jason Cammisa and Randy Post, automotive shows haven't been as this emotionally engaging since the old Top gear. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Truly epic praise!
Love your channel also!
There is nothing that can touch an ICONS episode. And this one was perfection. WOW.
Also asking for a friend but is shirtless Randy starting an onlyfans anytime soon?
James, Thomas and discount Sandler would make a better trio than Clarkson, Hammond and May.
There. I said it.
Idk that LFA video was pretty good
Hey fellas! You guys make the best intros, but Cammisa has the institutional knowledge. Would love to see a collaboration.
Much love 👊
More colabs! All three of you are the best
@@jordankipkorir9656 LOL nope. On same level maybe, but better? No flipping way.
The production on this is far better then any car show on CZcams
Agreed. Any car show on television for that matter.
It's a produced show!! Really!😂😂😂
Facts w vid
The background engine sounds interfere with your dialog way too many times
And cable!
This was a brilliant episode. ICONS and Throttle House are the new kings of the auto-review segment.
Along with Carfection, and I sometimes watch CarWow too.
Couldn't agree more. They've become my new faves
I would add Savage Geese to that list too, for their budget they put out some incredible content especially with their OEM collaboration videos!
Oh my god!! What did I just watch!?! That was insane. Incredible work by all involved - yes!!!
Yeah but there was not enough white boarding... ;)
I want my 4500+ lbs family sedan to be efficient and fast, The Tesla Model S Plaid offers everything I need. If I wanted a sports car I'd buy a sports car, not a wannabe. Elon Musk is building space ships and Billy bob is building your cadillac.
@@Json918 except when you want to hit the brakes...
@@Json918 A Tesla is efficient until you look at its battery...
@@Json918 Buying a white toaster won’t make you Elon. Sorry to break it to you.
This production level is from another planet.
Nah, we were on planet earth. But we're just all crazy. [Thank you!]
Seriously. Next level stuff.
@@JasonCammisa Planet earth already blew up (video evidence 5:11)
What are people in here babbling about regarding "otherwprdly" another level etc- stop playing with yourselves
I'd still rather have the Cadillac than the other 2
The Cadillac CT5-V is one of those cars that, at first, has been underappreciated by the general public but someday soon will fetch HUGE dollars over its original price simply because enthusiasts will all realize just how special this vehicle actually is. As we move into an era of most cars being EVs, this becomes a dark horse for one of the greatest cars ever build.
I've got a 2018 CTSV and I will never trade it or go EV
Yep this car is like the cute thicc chick next door that does all the things, and the Plaid is the instagram model that just lays there like a dead fish. Kids these days need to drive a powerful RWD stick shift with all the nanny controls off to experience the difference! Many km of fun!
@@anydaynow01 Amen I had and 05 CTSV with a manual and boy wast that a car, Now I've got a 2018 which is nice but not a manual.
@@anydaynow01 LMAO this is the best analogy
@@kevintownsend3840 I'm hanging onto my 2007 V1 like grim death. Three radiators; two water pumps; front shocks; evap stuff: the list goes on, but still a fantastic car. GM nailed the first generation car.
Based on future value alone, what Jason said is the exact reason I think that the first generation CTS V will become the classic that everyone wants and sells for absurd prices. Give it 5-10 years and the Blackening will also become that rare Cadillac that skyrockets in worth. I've been watching and reading about the new V series for awhile now and as much as I love them it makes me want the first or second generation CTS V even more before it's too late.
Go price a 2012 CTS-v wagon in a stick. It’s already begun appreciating in value. I love my 2013 CTS v6 coupe, but I’m on the hunt for an adult driven 2004-2007 V.
@Ben C the 5.7L LS1? The most preferred engine for engine swaps? Think your thinking of a Dodge 392.
Had 4 V cars. 04/05 CTS-V; 12 CTS-V; 16 ATS-V. All manuals. All great cars. The new versions are tempting...
@Ben C They're very reliable in comparison to other performance cars.
It sucks because the CTxV stuff is floating right above what I can afford with announcement that Cadillac is going all EV. These cars are the ultimate gift from the GM ICE engineers (stick shift Cadillac V8 that does all the things when even the Corvette is an automatic these days, let that marinate), too bad the bean counters won't sell them at a discount the way they are doing with EVs. Not to mention what the stealerships are doing with the prices, when will they realize all they are doing in the long run with these markups is opening their own veins in a warm bath?
Jason Camissa is filling a Top-Gear-sized hole in my heart and I hope he never goes away.
Yooooo!!! You hit the nail on the head!
Old school top gear.
I still go back and watch those for the feels.
THIS gives me the same feelings. Grand Tour doesn’t. I love the Grand Tour but it’s not the same vibe. Ya feel me?
@@leopoldwhylie5076 100%. Grand Tour went overboard with their production to the point where the episodes feel more like short action movies than actual car journalism. This is right in that sweet spot.
4:19 What does the CTS have that the Tesla doesn't? Well, after 4 or 5 years of performance driving (like drag racing), the CTS will likely have had transmission issues, differential issues, have paid thousands more for routine maintenance and thousands more for fuel. The CTS will be ready for an expensive timing chain and timing gear replacement, will likely need a water pump and serpentine belt and possibly a new alternator.
Here, Here!!!
@@Tron-Jockey
Exactly. Everybody here is acting patriotic about the Caddy, praising a video that says an M5 and the Tesla lacks the CTS PERSONALITY!!!
Hagerty, take note: When you have channels like Vehicle Virgins/Engineering Explained/Throttle House/Carfection drooling over the production masterpiece we all just experienced, you MUST keep Jason, Anthony, Randy, and the filming production crew doing what they do best--creating the most epic videos known to man.
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
Vehicle virgins is shite. Rest are fire
You forgot savagegeese
@@silverindigo8302 the type r video was epic.
And please don't pull a MotorTrend and /DRIVE and put in behind a paywall.
This was one of the greatest videos to me. It is so well done, from the amazing technology used for the first scenes walking on the paused/slow drag race track, to the humor and soundtrack and engine noise, to the overall philosophy of the driving experience. I enjoyed it all a lot. It might be one of the best video productions I’ve seen in a while. Nice job.
You know you are a great production team when the videography and editing causes emotions beyond explanation.
Dude….. the frozen drag race scenes with Jason walking up the track are just incredible. Plus the shock wave and lines coming off the road animations…. This is better production quality than any TV or CZcams and honesty rivals some movies
ya but to me it almost seems too fake or gci in a way
@@wildcat6669 you cgi complainers, you don’t even notice most cgi in movies. That scene was mostly fake slow-motion with little cgi.
Facts
Go check out the truck drag race video - that will blow your mind
Oh heck this production is next level. I need to up my game 😭 Amazing video, congrats.
Love your stuff! ICONS keeps hitting it out the park tho, everyone need to be upping their game after this!
Long live the Tyre Reviews
Up your game?? Your videos are some of the most informative car related videos. There are a number of car channels that need to up their game. Yours ain't one of them.
You are the best tyre analyst. Science and feel. Can I make a request? Take a typical track day car (911, Camaro, M3, Corvette, Miata) and analyze tires/performance but with a focus on track temperature, tire pressure, and tire temps taken inside tread block, middle and outside tread block. And also vary tire pressures front and rear for performance analysis such as how to decrease understeer etc. And yes, I will travel anywhere to assist.
Yeah, just, really well-judged creative choices through the whole production, backing up Jason, who’s great to watch.
Almost 23 minutes of pure videography professionalism and enthusiasm.....Hagerty team's work is impeccable 🔥😍
This episode is absolutely amazing. It is witty and fun at the same time. The video edits are shockingly gripping and has one wanting more. THUMPS UP FOR THIS.
Randy is an icon, I love that bloke, he never ages!
That's because he's always been old AF
That middle finger 🤣🤣
Awwww, don’t look too closely, but thank you, Chopi!
@@Mireaze Yeah, I’m a late bloomer

@@Json918 what a lazy take. 🥱
@@Json918 For such an "amazing car," you'd think you would have enough arguments supporting the Model S Plaid to not just copy and paste the same thing under every comment.
I love these Randy and Jason Head to Head style shows….the break down of information and the delivery of facts, is a pure enjoyment to watch and so enjoyable. Thank you Thank you Thank you! 🤟🏽
Aw man, The CTS-5 Blackwing and M5 CS is makes me smile on face when they drift together 🤩 the action, drama and fun are great 😌 respect 👏🏼
I fell in love with Jason's reviews on motor trend, back when they were a very popular youtube channel. And seeing him like this 5 years later really makes me realize he might be the best American car reviewer.
Yes. Before they got greedy.
Key word is American. But I gotta agree.
@@jferg5220 even internationally he’s one of the top reviewers. Chris Harris, the OG top gear trio, and maybe throttle house are the only reviewers as informed and passionate/more passionate
@@jferg5220 tbh, I would call him one of the best in the world too. There’s not many presenters out there that can match him. Maybe Henry from Carfection and Chris Harris. But that’s all I can think of really. I would love to include the O.G Top Gear trio, but their stint in GT really shows that they’re more of a casual presenter who likes car-related content instead of a full blown car enthusiast presenter.
Agreed 👌
This video is fricken epic!! Amazing work guys.
Thank you!
What's up checkmark!
Whoa Parker! How you doing man?
I'd still take SG for non-corporate opinions, authenticity, and these annoying attempts to be cute. Hagerty is for a general audience, but serious car people watch other channels.

We NEED more of this!! Please!
I dont know how many times i watched this episode of icons ,brings up alot of emotions way better than a movie, Pls Keep them coming 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾😇
This production just changed the whole game!
R.I.P. everyone else in this business
I WAS JUST THINKING THAT!!! Im like dam these guys put in some serious work !!!! I had to reqind the video a few times to catch the info!!!
It's just missing one thing. Noise!
It remind a little bit videos from Top Gear Uk wirh Jerermy Clarkson. It provided an unparalleled level of quality and creativity.
Teslas are nothing overpriced plastic eggshells on wheels that are nothing but soulless.
@@CJColvin Electric cars are great in the quarter mile because of instant full torque but after that the petro rockets blow right by them. Race on a 3 mile oval for 20 laps and you'll see what transpires.
I'm careful not to throw around the word "best" at every turn, so it is with intent that I say: ICONS is the BEST automotive show being broadcast right now.
It’s totally evident that all that decades of Love for Cars, Has made Jason an ICON. No one in this world can share such absolute description about Cars like Jason does.
I can listen to him for hours and not get one percent bored.
THE BEST CAR REVIEW I've ever seen. Hands down to Hagerty team for the amazing work, & Jason you are so good in transmitting the emotions of a driving pleasure😍 viewed this review like 100 times and still wanna watch it again❤️
Good work, keep up.
Criminally underrated, this show. Everyone hit that like button to get Jason to the mainstream!
Amen, hallelujah and yes, please!
@@JasonCammisa mainstream needs to come to you. Not the other way around.This is too good to watered down.
@@floki1664 I think he's talking about my show, not Hagerty's channel. Breathe.
How is this underrated? It has close to a million views and everyone loves it. Stop using the word overrated where it doesn't apply.
@@stickywickedy Yes, internet master.
Oh my god. Best auto channel in YEARS, TV or internet. I love anything with Jason in it. I feel I should have paid to watch this.
Top gears loss in not signing him!!!
Reminds me of /DRIVE around '13, '14! that was some fantastic content back then!
I ended the episode wondering how I can support the show. I cannot believe this content is free. Maybe time to buy a t-shirt and switch to Hagerty insurance.
Wow what a Movie!!! Great Job to the editing team and the whole cast behind it. Never seen a car video like it, kept me engaged from start to finish.
Production is amazing, but I also love the subtitles. Amazing work guys, love all your videos!!
Wow, great comparison and even better video production. You guys just raised the bar.
They Never ran the 2019 627HP+ Mercedes GT63S sedan on this track or it would have been & still would be #1. Mercedes GT63S Sedan & Mercedes E63S both have ( drift mode) all power to the rear. Mercedes GT63S is the Fastest Production Sedan around the Nurburgring. Mercedes GT Black Series is the Fastest Production PERIOD on the Nurburgring at 6:43 time 🏆🥇🏆
Exactly
@@Pedro-0839 I kinda doubt it.
the editing, cinematography, acting, production, EVERYTHING was top notch. hats off to the entire crew.
Anthony Esposito deserves some kudos.
I d add Jason is a genuine performance actor!
This was just epic and insanely well done 😃 Im speechless, mind blown, and words cant even begin to describe the feelings of joy I got from this video. All the information wasn't too overwhelming to understand and the eargasmic beautiful exhaust notes of these beautiful dying breeds was just music to my ears. Jason never fails to amuse me with his knowledge and his enthusiastic child like manners 😂. Hats off to the entire crew at Hagerty 👏
I love the time warping effects you do to show key points in your videos !
Hagerty, thank you for actually spending marketing money the correct way. These videos, production quality and Jason just doing his thing is priceless. Motor trend what? You guys get it. The content that is delivered is great. The passion comes out in each episode that is put out.
To everyone involved with making these videos possibly, you all do a great job!
Motor trend like car companies went after the number game and lost the ICON (Jason)
@@AmitYadav-ee3ns And in the process, MotorTrend lost lots of views. I can only watch so many people over there “pretend” to be car people. I’m glad to see Randy over here at Hagerty. These videos are worth watching.
They get what? That cars like this only hasten the inevitable end of this civilization? Jason jokes about "the rest of the world arguing over CO2 emissions" and revels in conspicuous consumption, anticipating the Earth to blow up (a shot they have removed from the video)?
@@TinLeadHammer You're in a cult, bud.
This film was legitimate art. Every single human emotion was thoroughly explored. All non-car people need to see this to “get” what us car folks are onto. We aren’t crazy, well, okay we are a bit mad…but still.
The way this videos are produced feels like an action movie! Congrats 👏👏👏
An outdated OHV Supercharged American V8 mated to a manual gearbox beats out Germany's finest. I just love it! And it just looks and sounds sooo much better.
What? When?
@@emsionetrack time on willow
@@gtasanandreascluckinbell No one knows or uses what ever track that is.
@@emsione sure they don't, just because you don't know something doesn't mean its something no one knows, you are not the center of the universe
@@gtasanandreascluckinbell Yeah shure. Thats why every car manufacturer goes to test their performance cars to that wierd place instead of germany. World is way bigger and a lot better than the goofy place you mentioned.
I cannot BELIEVE the production value and cinematography (not to mention their consistency) of ICONS. Every cut and transition is something unique and exciting, and the quality of the writing keeps me engaged between beautiful shots. WOW
This is proper A-Level content! Jason is in a league of his own... Whenever he drops *anything* new, you know you're not gonna get anything else done for a while! Petrolhead bliss!
You mean A+
This is yet another fantastic video. I love the ICONs series. Wow
Super awesome video production yo! And such great explanations 👏
More production like this PLEASE. This is Avengers level stuff
Better
ICONic.

@@Json918 You copy pasted the same comment more than 10 times. We get your point... Billy Bob is pretty good at assembling cars compared to Elon then. Tesla's assembly, paint finish and interior quality is among the worst out there. You just bought yourself a 50k battery pack surrounded by a 30k Kia for 100k. Tesla's are a big joke...

Thank you for being in this space
Man, Hagerty's production quality is skyrocketing! Well done!
Even though this was looking like a Cadillac sponsored clip, i would get that M5-CS in a heart beat out of these 3 vehicles because it has both of the worlds :
in summer is same fun RWD with CT5-blackwing but with the AWD on it switch BMW M5 CS to be a usable car all year long, even on wet track in rain or in winter.. ;0)

The quarter mile clips at the beginning are incredible. I haven’t a clue how they filmed some of those slo-mo shots.
It's just filmed at normal speed with the cars doing 1mph
Then the dust\leaves were added in post. Clever camera movements are what really sell the effect though, it's VERY well done.
@@lowstrife So funny, my thoughts immediately went to the much more complex video editing instead of the much simpler explanation...
Randy is hilarious 😂. And an awesome driver. I'd love to get driving lessons from him
Thanks for the video!! Well done and really good points made throughout.
I would give you a 100 thumbs ups if I could: this is Netflix series worthy!
I second this. Please go back through history and highlight some more memorable icons that drew out that unquantifiable, essence that makes great cars legends.
The production value of this video is so good, it should be released as a short film and nominated for Academy Awards.
The cinematography in this video was A PLUS!! Great job to the camera people, I always look forward to these videos.
I clicked this video just to see how fast the ct5v was compared to a M5 and you guys do such a good job that I ended up watching the whole video and subbing! Great edits, great people and great video 💪💯
More like how fast was the m5 compared to a CT5V
Give the whole production team a beer, an epic badge and a lifetime promotion! This is fucking beautiful...congrats gentlemen...👌🏻🧐
Jason is killing it with these.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video, was glued to my screen the entire time. More please!
An absolute masterpiece. Amazing work JC & Hagerty team.
I literally feared for MY safety when Randy pulled that 180 in the Escalade,.... damn, good show Randy.
How in the name of all things thats holy did he do that? IN AN ESCALADE?
@@OKANGUVEN99 it's not as hard as it seems
wow, this is like bringing the automotive cinematography production to Steven Spielberg level !! Never seen anything like this, keep up with the superb work you're doing.

It ticks all boxes at maximum.. simply perfection!
Hands down the best production, value, relatability, humour, info etc. And Jason the ultimate Cherry on top. Hats off to all. Thank you for the content.
man that shot where the tesla freezes at the finish line! nice editing!
I couldn't keep my eyes off the screen. Thank you for an amazing film/video experience ❤️ this is why we truly love cars
loved this video, editing and all. beautiful
Damn, Jason and his team have surpassed Top Gear at it's best. Informative, humorous, visually stunning.
Jason, you are making America proud. Thanks.
To a car guy like me who won't be able to afford any one of these anytime soon, videos like these always becomes the driving force to work hard and achieve that dream. Best production, best cinematography and most importantly emotional as hell. Jason and Randy and everyone at the hagerty team....you have our love, respect and affection. Hope to see more and more.
Oh wow! The enjoyment and production value of your vids, especially this one, is just off the charts. So happy I sub'd.
I loved the entire presentation of this video. keep up the good work :)
Isn’t it a bit sad that a Doug Demuro video will get 5x the views this does? The guy has a tripod and five t-shirts as the only major budget items!
Outstanding work Jason and the Hagerty team.
Just like how people buy Apple and Tesla products and spend $200 on Nike shoes and $100 for Lululemon yoga pants.
@@RAZGR1Z
Tesla's are expensive, but implying they are overpriced like $100 Nike shoes probably isn't right. Look at the Tesla Model 3 as an example, the pricing and specifications of it are on par with gas powered mid-size sedans like the BMW 3 series, Audi A4, and Mercedes C-class.
@@teslaadverts A Model 3 is like the cars mentioned only in number specs. There are many intagibles that don't have a numarical ranking. Bland exterior/interior design and poor fit and finish don't show up in a spec sheet. But the 0-60 time does right?! Sometimes you need party trick to win buyers, and there is nothing wrong with that. The Model 3 is the cooler Prius, there is also nothing wrong with that. They are both great daily drivers.
@@lw1878
The exterior design might not be for everyone, but I wouldn't call it bland. The front is very unique, and pretty much instantly recognizable. The "fastback" look, vertical headlights, and bodylines replacing the grille are some design elements not seen on many cars.
Interior design is very simple. That can be seen as a good or bad thing depending on the person. It's not as if the people who like it are in the minority, either, as, if I remember correctly, the Model 3 is the top seller for mid-size sedans in the $40k price range.
The fit and finish is definitely poor. Some people get lucky and get nicely built cars, but that's not always the case. Unfortunate, but you can always deny delivery if the car is not built as well as you might have hoped, or request Tesla to fix it before taking delivery. Not optimal though. I wouldn't say this is enough to say Tesla is on the same level of overpriced as $200 Nike shoes, regardless.
Performance is also not the only thing the Model 3 does well in. Comfort, infotainment, cargo capacity, interior space, software features, and sound system are all areas where the Model 3 excels.
@@RAZGR1Z What's wrong with $200 Nike shoes? Am I supposed to wear $10 no-brand-name shoes?
Excellent camera work and editing. 🔥
It keeps getting better and better every time really
I have never seen such a sick edits on these videos!🔥
This was DOPE.
New subcriber.
Keep up the awesome work!
This was absolutely amazing and summarizes my feelings exactly when it comes to cars and motorcycles. I don’t care what’s the fastest, I just want to have the most fun. 👌🏻
Me tooo… I’ve been riding bikes and fast cars my whole life. Love my turbos, love my superduke 1290 with SC Project crt. But I have to be honest, the most fun I’ve had out of all the cars I’ve owned in my life just so happens to be right now in the Plaid. Noise or no noise, It’s just so freakin fast with instant torque. No other car has ever made me smile so much.
Guess what Else.....Tesla has special software .....required to connect to Tesla Inc. 24/7 which also required to operate the car, so Tesla basically has ability to CONTROL YOU AND YOUR TESLA CAR!!!.....SPREAD THE WORD......ELECTRIC IS NOT THEY WAY.
@@bbur75 .. you’re not making sense and I honestly have no idea what you’re talking about. Maybe you’re referring to FSD which I don’t care about. All the cameras inside my car are always off.
BRO!!!
Lol..love how the gear heads buy super chargers, turbos, slicks, etc etc for the main purpose of going fast... now that EVs easy smash them out of the box.. it's now I dont care who's faster... Lol
That "slow-mo" was incredibly well done - I'm in shock. Such a simple trick but it works SO well
And wow. What a video. Up there with the best of the best. Jason & team behind the camera, bravo.
The production and editing on this is insanely good, so fresh
21:46 from there on to the end was absolutely perfect. What a presentation, I hope the creators are proud of what they put together here. Wow
Agreed, I got goosebumps no joke. Absolutely stunning.
Absolutely blown away by the production values! Incredible job! Way to go Budget Adam Sandler!
The writers and entire production team are pure genius, can't imagine how long this took to create, unbelievable, totally amazing 👏
The first few minutes of this video is amazing where Hagerty is seen walking imposed over the three cars run to the finish line ❤.
Broo this is amazing
I like ur overall production man 😍
These guys are pumping out masterpieces, one after the other. Holy crap what a genius team!
“Wanna see a Cadillac do a 180”😂😂😂 Randy’s the best
Another great episode, just love watching your videos
If you haven't watched this with subtitles on, you're really missing out.
I love em
I admit, I haven't finished watching the video yet, I'm 3 mins in but I had to stop and comment on the editing... Holy cow, seriously the best editing I've ever seen, I am already blown away!
Guys- the production value, emotion, and care that went into this was second to none. Genuinely a fantastic product. Well done!
God level editing!! Never getting bored of watching this..
Awesome job. Keep em coming.
This is a masterpiece. Being a Top Gear and Chris Harris' fan, this type of content might give them a run for their money. Good job Hagerty!
Watching Jason ranting about the Cadillac for such a long time really reminds me of James May's rant about Cadillac when he was driving the CTS-V 🤣 both of them really had so many things to say about Cadillac, yeah?
Also I totally enjoyed this video because it's so inspiring. Amazing work.
It has become such a boring so called question. Cadillac has been making performance vehicles for nearly a two decades at this point. Why do these journalist insist on posing this BS argument to us?
I just had the experience of driving the plaid. It’s so fast and so boring. I am so happy that Jason and the video production team made this video to illustrate what is happening in our car enthusiast world with phasing out all of these emotional masterpieces and making these lifeless super cars. With all of the federal emissions regulations choking out our greatest passions, I feel the sadness coming soon my car enthusiast brothers. Our days are numbered….
I hear ya, and am sorry that these type of cars will be basically hobby cars eventually, i don't understand how having the feeling of the Gs of a 0-60 launch rollercoaster on tap is lifeless? Boring sure, but lifeless nah. I hope more of the same hobbyists find ways to make Model S Plaids and other performance EVs more 'life'ful
@@megashadow1390 its a one and done type thing. You can launch it a few times but when there is only one factor going on it gets dull quickly.
@@iiroyalty2519 no sarcasm, please do elaborate on these factors you speak of?
@@megashadow1390 I rented a plaid for a few days and the launching was very fun. After you launch it 40 times though you start to realize that's all it is and it has nothing else to it. None of the silly drama from a screaming engine that I and many others want. There is no feeling of control through a transmission. It can't stop very well and the handling is lackluster. It is just a 0-whatever you are brave enough to reach machine and that gets boring after you experience it for a while, in my opinion.
I disagree a bit. I own the model 3 performance and since the batteries sit at the bottom and centered, the center of gravity is super low and the performance is incredible, it handles and takes turns like if i was driving on velcro. The brakes are sick as well better than most cars if not all in its price range. Check out the vids where it compared the braking performance between teslas and other super cars in car wow.
Excellent, fun, informative videos! Thank You!
As a Miata owner I can relate to the experience topic here... the sound, shifting while merging to a highway makes my day... while only going 70(ish)...
Fantastic episode! This is how “track comparisons” should be done. Fair and unbiased. Every vehicle’s advantages and disadvantages well pointed out without being disrespectful to any of the accomplishments on display. All fans kind of video. Well done!
They only really compared the m5 and the blackwing.
@@cypvh74 it's okey we all know plaid-s can't corner like those 2 and wins by having a real acceleration(which is already shown). Still can't wait for the plaid trackmode to come out with a track brake and see how much more time it can shave off 😀
Take a bow team!!! This has to be the all time favourite video on any platform and genre. Mind blowingly stupendous work.
Thank you for making this video such a beautiful memorable way...
