A Rolling Race Between Matt and Daniel's Cars: A Tale of Four-Wheel Drive vs Two-Wheel Drive

The two car owners, Matt and Daniel, had agreed to have a rolling race between their vehicles. The goal was to see which car could accelerate from 30 miles an hour in second gear to the half mile mark first. Despite having a four-wheel drive system, Daniel's car struggled to get off the line, with the car spinning its wheels in first and second gear. Matt, on the other hand, had a two-wheel drive system, but his experience as a manual driver seemed to give him an edge.

As they lined up side by side in first gear, their engines roared to life, and the race was underway. The wind began to pick up, making it difficult for Daniel's car to gain traction. Matt's car, however, seemed to be handling the windy conditions with ease. Despite his initial struggles in the standing quarter mile test, where he lost out to a Toyota car, Daniel was determined to give his two-wheel drive car an opportunity to shine.

The rolling race from second gear at 50 miles an hour proved to be just as close, but Matt's car seemed to have a slight advantage. The wind resistance appeared to be having a greater impact on Daniel's car, which struggled to keep up with the pace. As they approached the half mile mark, it became clear that Matt was pulling ahead.

The next challenge was a break test, where the car that stops in the shortest distance wins. Daniel's car proved to be having amazing brakes, and he was able to slow down quickly. However, despite his best efforts, he couldn't quite beat Matt's car, which crossed the finish line first.

After their rolling race, Matt and Daniel decided to have a closer look at each other's cars. It became apparent that Daniel's four-wheel drive system had given him an advantage in high-speed acceleration, but it seemed to be struggling in low-speed conditions like the standing quarter mile test and the break test.

The two car owners decided to give their viewers a better idea of what each car could offer by comparing them directly. They announced plans for a drag race between a Gi Yaris and the previous generation Honda Civic Type R, which would give viewers a better understanding of the capabilities of each vehicle.

In conclusion, Matt and Daniel's rolling races showed that while four-wheel drive systems can be advantageous in high-speed conditions, they may not always provide an edge. The two-wheel drive system seemed to have its own set of advantages, particularly in low-speed conditions. As for which car would make a better owner, it ultimately depends on individual preferences and driving styles.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enHi how are you Matt Watson here from car wow so I'm sat in my very own Toyota gr Yaris and next to me is the new Honda Civic Type R and we're gonna have a drag race because to Japanese hot Hatches the two very best Japanese hot hatches in fact so let me tell you about my gr Yaris it's got a 1.6 liter three-cylinder turbo engine with 261 horsepower and 360 newton meters of torque it drives all four wheels via six-speed manual gearbox it's reasonably like this car 1280 kilos price when you with the circuit pack which this one has a dip on the front diff on the back 33 000 pounds it's a bit cheaper than the Honda Civic now we're gonna play a little game to see how much the driver I'm gonna give the game it's yeah I need the driver of that car how much he thinks that Honda Civic Type R costs hi Annie how are you young Matthew how are you I'm very good thank you very very good first question for you is can you guess how much that Honda Civic Type R costs uh uh eighty thousand eighty what planet are you on okay you completely ruined what I was trying to do you think it's 80 000 pounds don't tell me it's more money no it can't be more money fifty thousand pounds no to me face a Honda in it 40 35 000 but 35 000 pounds he doesn't have a bloody clue does he how much is a pint of milk a pound 20. okay anyway let me just tell you the price of it it's forty seven thousand Pounds I was trying to make a thing about it he's just ruined it but it is a thing 47 000 pounds for a Civic Type R the previous generation one was 35 000 pounds why has it gone up in value so much when it's pretty much got the same engine in it it's a two liter turbocharged petrol with 330 horsepower and 420 newton meters of torque it drives the front wheels only via a six-speed manual gearbox we're gonna have a manual drag race again so it's gonna be a lot of fun also that Honda is heavier it weighs in at 1 430 kilos who do you think it's gonna win this yanny you've got more power you've got 330 horsepower I've only got 262. yeah but I know your four-wheel drive but I am better driving a manual car I think my gear change should be able to allow me to catch you okay well we're gonna find out now but before we do if you haven't done so already please make sure you subscribe to this Channel and hit the Bell icon to turn your notifications on that way you

line for the first part but then I just dropped you what happened to be afraid this car's all right but you got four wheel drive this just doesn't get off the line at all we'll spin first gear second gear just gives me nothing like absolutely nothing even with my vast experience of manual driving that is a good four-wheel drive and why really I think that on the road this is a superior car so then what exactly happened well the Toyota one completing the standing quarter mob in 13.6 seconds the Honda took 13.9 seconds do you know what yanny I've come up with an idea to make up the fact that you're just spinning up your wheels we'll try and remove that stick out of the equation so we'll drive along very slowly side by side in first gear when we get to the start of the quarter mile our start will start us and then we'll just accelerate and see who wins over the quarter mile that sounds very generous man that's actually nice of you to do that especially in your own car so I hope I don't win and when he puts his hands down we've got to go come on got me now the gear changes the gear changes are you happy now Matt is the gear changes mate when you watch this back you're going to see me like a madman in here my gear changes weren't terrible I think it's more the fact that you've got like 60 more horsepower that's one rolling race done let's do another right now we have a rolling race from second gear 30 miles an hour to the half mile I think um my advantage may now be over but let's do it anyway three two one go but I got on that bring it out yes come on we are going to a serious headwind come on real serious headwind he's got me here that was very very interesting I'd say because I thought you were gonna absolutely destroy me there but it was quite close oh okay I was just happy with the win I didn't don't know about destroy or anything I was just happy to just be in front of you you got more horsepower less drivetrain loss because it's two-wheel drive not four-wheel drive and it was really only the highest speeds where you started to Gap me now that's from second gear let's try it from third gear at 50. right now we're going to do a rolling race again this time you know all the years that I've been doing this how comes I never get a shout out everyone else does okay yeah go on you can have a shout out but you're gonna have to do it yourself so guys fully animals we're so close to 2 million click here subscribe to us and um I really appreciate it thanks very much there we go yeah hopefully that's satisfied him third gear roll on from 50. here we go this is gonna be very interesting see the talk difference with me three two one go oh this is struggling into the wind off once again that was really really interesting the difference seems to be decreasing as we go up the gears so this little car with its lighter weight and it's pretty decent amount of torque seems to keep up or maybe it's because we're taking gear changes out of it which is where I drop back yeah I think all of that mate all of that it's not that is all right okay now we have a break test from 100 miles an hour the car that stops in the shortest distance wins this thing has amazing brakes that thing has amazing brakes let's see what happens now if you'd rather watch a drag race between a GI Yaris and the previous generation honda civic Type R click on the pop-up and therefore the link in the description below if not stay here for the break test run 100 now come on stop oh I've got a horrible feeling that you won that it's close your Bonnet is longer than mine I'm gonna have to get out in this horrible win to just double check wait where's the cameraman Eric bollocks wasn't even as close as I'd hoped Daniel calm so sorry no if you'd like to see a good deal on a
