There are many ways to drag race, but the V8 is the best. And whether you choose a big American V8 or a complicated German one, you’re going to get down the strip in a hurry.
That’s the lesson in this trio of drag races from This vs That, which pits a tuned BMW M8 Competition Coupe against a 2006 Pontiac GTO. They are both highly modified and each have been created for distinct purposes.
Both cars are fast, but the BMW has a more luxurious interior that will take you on a journey down the autobahn at speeds of over 200 MPH. Pontiac on the other side is a drift car, so it is less concerned with comfort.

The BMW is based on the M8 Competition and was modified by Steve “Yes That Dinan” Dinan. It’s been tuned to make 900 hp at the crank and to do it in sumptuous comfort while also allowing you to carve a canyon and not fall down it.
Pontiac GTO’s LS3 V8 is heavily modified and produces 830 hp. Rear-wheel driving Pontiacs can now take on AWD BMWs with a set of stickier tires.
As was, perhaps, predictable, from a standstill, the BMW’s automatic transmission and all-wheel drive give it the edge. The roll race is where things get more exciting. Check out the video to see if your drift car is able to take on its German counterpart.
