NEW Gas Charger vs M4 Comp vs RS3 // DRAG RACE

TL;DR

The BMW M4 Competition dominated both races, with the Audi RS3 finishing second and the new Dodge Charger losing despite its horsepower advantage.

Key Points

• 1.Drag race result: RS3 launched best off the line, M4 took the lead mid-race, and the Charger — despite being the most powerful of the three — trailed in last place due to its heavy weight and power delivery issues.
• 2.Roll race result: The Charger's driver cheated the start by putting his foot down a full second or two early, yet the M4 still won convincingly, and the RS3 narrowly beat the Charger too.
• 3.The Charger's setup: Launch control was set at 3,200 RPM with all-wheel drive engaged via a double-click drag mode — described as the best chance a Charger has ever had against cars like these, and it still wasn't enough.
• 4.Verdict on the Charger: The hosts felt the new twin-turbo inline-6 Charger "needs work" and joked it simply needs a V8 instead, noting it performed closer to an RS3 than expected but couldn't hang with the M4.
