G29 BMW Z4 M40i vs. 2020 A90/MKV Toyota Supra vs. Mustang GT in a misleading 800 meter drag race
Another day and another drag race video involving the new Supra. This one unfortunately is pure clickbait. For whatever reason the Supra is getting compared with the Mustang quite often likely because they both represent a performance value although the Mustang GT is much cheaper and not facing any markup nonsense.
The G29 Z4 and the Supra are the same basic thing except the Z4 is heavier due to the drop top. That means the Supra has the edge.
The Mustang GT is heavier than the Supra as well but it does have a 5.0 liter third gen Coyote motor which offers quite a bit more power and top end punch.
All three of these cars are automatic and all three are rear wheel drive.
So what wins? The Supra somehow. It gets the best start so really it is traction that decides this making for a practically useless comparison.
The Mustang has the slowest start and this is exactly how a drag race can be misleading as it is the car pulling the hardest as evidenced by the 0-200 kph time. A roll race would be much more informative here and remove the traction factor. Plus, they should include trap speeds.
0-100:
Supra: 4.54
Z4: 4.73
Mustang: 5.20
400 meters:
Supra: 12.83
Z4: 13.02
Mustang: 13.16
0-200:
Supra: 16.89
Z4: 17.01
Mustang: 16.42
800 meters:
Supra: 20.15
Z4: 20.60
Mustang: 20.33
The Mustang is the fastest car of this trio and this video is poorly done and misleading. Who the hell runs 13's in a 10-speed automatic 2019 Mustang GT other than these people?
