BMW M2 Competition vs. Toyota GR Supra Launch Edition—2019 BDC Hot Lap Matchup

For 2019 we’re changing things up. Why watch one hot lap when you can see two at once!?! Even though the 2020 Toyota Supra is a Toyota, it’s really a BMW. Check the door sticker. That said, the 2019 BMW M2 Competition is built by the much-lauded M Division, not plain old BMW. Plus, on paper, the M2 Comp makes 70 hp more than the GR Supra, which is really just a rebodied, hardtop BMW Z4, right? The BMW that’s badged as a BMW should wipe the floor with its Japanese cousin, right? Maybe, maybe not. Either way, watch and find out! #BestDriversCar #ToyotaSupra #BMW

Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 vs. Porsche 911 Carrera S—2019 BDC Hot Lap Matchup

For 2019 we’re changing things up. Why watch one hot lap when you can see two at once!? The Shelby GT350 is massively improved for 2019, edging much closer to the performance you get with its big brother, the sublime GT350R. However, the Porsche 911 is all new for 2020, and you’d better believe the Carrera S comes packing a bigger punch than ever before. Plus, as Jonny Lieberman and Jethro Bovingdon are so fond of saying, Porsche finds a way. So which sports car will turn the quicker lap with Randy Pobst behind the wheel? The full-fisted German or the unbridled American? Watch and find out! #BestDriversCar #Porsche #Mustang

Rotsun Returns!—Roadkill Preview Ep. 103

Watch the full episode on MotorTrend: https://bit.ly/38wQJY1 If there has been one car in the Roadkill fleet that absolutely never fails to fail, it’s the 1971 Datsun 240z rust bucket known as the Rotsun. From the beginning, the Rotsun has let Freiburger and Finnegan down over and over, whether it be at autocross events, drag races, shootouts, or even 24 Hours of Lemons. However, it’s the one car the guys can never quite give up on even though it’s fulling deserving of desertion. Over the years it’s had a variation of power plants, its latest being a junkyard turbocharged 5.0 Liter V8 pulled from a fox body Mustang. Now on this episode of Roadkill, Freiburger and Finnegan attempt to get the Rotsun back up and running after years of neglect, by finally fixing its independent rear suspension issues and attempting to drive it to SEMA. Will the Rotsun fail to fail? #Roadkill #Rotsun
