Description: If you watch carefully, the Ferrari gets a slight jump on the BMW at the green but the BMW's serious power gets it back in front. After about 800m they are dead even and the rest of the race is t...

In the description it says NEITHER of the cars are stock. Learn to read people. And a little English grammar would do most of you some good.
Had to be rigged.. No way a tuned cross-over, stock, beats a Ferrari.
-sigh- and of course we have to bring the vette into the argument. Kinda expected that result though. A Ferrari beating an suv/crossover thing in a race probably wouldn't be worth mentioning
And a Corvette Z06 could beat both of them. For a fraction of the cost.
BMW is my favorite car brand in the world . Plus the New M5 with murder a 430 around a track and in straight cause it has 560HP and its chassis is what makes a BMW M car
It looked like driver error/inexperience on the Ferrari to me. It shouldn't of been that slow off the line or in the stretch. Especially with the differences in weight. The M trannys are fantastic though but still shouldn't have beaten the Ferrari.
The way the transmissions are setup it doesn't get a good launch. A Ferrari is not designed to be a drag race car. The X6 is automatic and you just mash the pedal and go. You can't do that in a Ferrari.
@Tommy. I drive a 1989supra turbo with a 2jzGte swap. I have yet to lose a race. Highway pull or stoplight to stoplight. I'm pushing roughly 450 HP. The cars are brutally fast. Especially for the 12k I've invested.
Did not see that coming. Well.. Kinda. If I was at the track for the first race between them, I would have been speechless
@Tommy No one said anything about the street. This is a drag race. a dyno queen is perfect for it. You keep it in the high revs all the time and it doesn't matter if you have no power at the low end.
M5 or 550dxm? M5 has 550hp and 530tq I think. That's from a twin turbo V8. I think the diesel is a 3.0 tri turbo inline 6 with 500+ ho and 650tq. Beast!!
Yeah & your "900hp. Supra" would probably still get beat. Why do people think that the Supra mega-hp dyno queens are actually fast on the street?
You would love to think that a car that costs as much as an average house would beat it....I could build a 900hp supra for 1/2 the cost.
Lol both cars are far from stock ( stated in the post ) but the Ferrari still manages to only run 13's . Ridiculous
F bodies fo life! Haha Joe don't you think a Ferrari should still be able to run a quick quarter mile or mile? Fast is fast no matter what type of track it is. Being a Ferrari and costing 250k for one, I would expect more from a super car.
Pretty sad I can beat a tuned Italian exotic that costs a house or two with my stock f-body. Even if it is only in a straight line...
Why are any of you surprised? Lots of power + AWD = incredible acceleration and speed. It's like when people strip out a WRX and build the engine up to 600hp and then smoke Lambos. No shit it's going to be fast, it's like an AWD go-kart.
True they are race cars but people do race stop light to stop light or highway pulls. The Ferrari lost plain and simple. The 1/4 times are slow I don't see how these cars are modified. If this was a roll race the Ferrari most of likely would have won. If you look at the mile times the speed is higher for the Ferrari.
Try a lap at a REAL race track and see how well moms little wagon throws that weight around the corners
I swear I If I see one more person drag race a Ferrari I'm gonna flip. Ferraris are RACE cars, as in an actual race! That's why they have steering wheels! That's why they have balance and weight distribution, this just means BMW had more power,
Eddie - learn how to read. It said in the article that both cars were not stock
A want to see it with the Enzo or the 458 italia I don't think that the BMW will make it I like BMW like luxury cars and Ferrari like powerful exotic cars like it both
If I was buying, I'd choose neither. If it was given to me, I'd take the 430 and sell it. If I couldn't sell it and had to keep it, I'd still choose the ferrari
True that Shane . Most people would go for the F430 mainly cause it's a Ferrari . But Id Choose a M5 or M6 over the F430 cause the M6 is faster around a track and on the straights but it costs way less
@Zain at the end of the day, its still an suv, up against a mid-engined supercar. Handling, not even close. Thats like having a well-handling camel
You're saying you'd rather have the BMW? The 430 would still be way faster on a circuit. The BMW would probably roll over the first corner it got to
